Because it is bad for them as well but they don’t have a clue so they don’t nag about it.

- Saris 4y agoIs it really though? What's the alternative for a drag and drop website for non technical people? I haven't found one that works any better.
- fragmede 4y agoWix and Squarespace will happily take their money in exchange for a very nice drag and drop website interface.
- Saris 4y agoThat's true, but you're locked to them, if they vanish or decide to terminate your account for some reason, you're pretty much hosed.
- thdespou 4y agoYeah with WordPress you can take your site and migrate it to a different provider. Can't beat that.
- fragmede 4y agoTime is money is opportunity cost though. If a proprietary provider is able to get you up and running faster then that's more time you have to spend on other things, like the rest of the business. Let's be real, the chances of getting shutdown if you're not in a grey area is pretty slim - if you are, eg crypto, porn, cannabis; then I'd not use a proprietary provider - what is "beat" is time spent on the product instead of upgrading WordPress plugins.
- thdespou 4y agoPremium WP providers can take care of plugin updates and backups for you that's not an issue. Ever heard of Smart Plugin manager?
- eternityforest 4y agoWhat would be better for them? Like, maybe there's something technically better, if everyone switched, but as an individual, what else would you use, that has the same level of accessibility for non-technical people, open sourceness, and wide acceptance that makes it easy to find someone who can work on your stuff, plus one click setup type cloud providers?
