I'm sorry for your losses, Mary Jo. For now, I'm staying put with AHP. I just hope this is a once-in-a-decade freak problem.
Even though I'm sticking with AHP, I still want some kind of failover, or at least an alternate host I can turn to quickly. I'm going to ask Greg about some kind of failover setup, where, when he installs updates of any kind, if something goes wrong, that backup system can be brought online quickly, with just the change of an IP for the DNS. I want a duplicate setup, up-to-date and ready-to-go at a moment's notice. I'd be willing to pay another 50% of my regular cost for another Virtual Server acting as failover. I may never use it, but with problems like these, I need it. If I have to, I could create a duplicate setup with another host if Greg can't completely isolate the live systems from the backups. I guess I could always get a cheap shared solution to turn to in case of an emergency. I could run MySQL SQL scripts to setup and populate the db's, change the DNS IP, and upload my sites in short order. Then once the VPS is back online, I can just pull everything from the shared host and push it back to the VPS to bring it up-to-date. Using the shared host as a backup for a VPS may be problematic. What solutions for this problem are others of you using? And, btw, Mary Jo, would you mind telling us what host you decided to move to?
