Seems a little dark, considering that's almost every company on the planet.
- dspillett 3y agoSounds darker when you have taken the second half away: "when you can avoid it." There are two arms to it inth ecase of hosting: 1. Not putting your eggs in one basket: have a tested backup/DR plan so if a host goes bad you can move easily. 2. Always remember that they have a bottom line, and it is more important to them than your bottom line. Any claim otherwise should be viewed with suspicion. Also if you are on a free (or just very cheap) tier you will be a lot less important than customers on higher tiers.
- remram 3y agoThey don't say not to use them, just not to trust them, "when you can avoid it". That seems fair actually. Like, "never trust a stranger" is dark because most people are strangers? It's not.
