In terms of auto-updaters: dreamhost will do the autoupdates as well for wordpress (and many other tools you can install via their "one-click goodies" manager). however, wp.org is awesome too!
In terms of hosting: Are you storing any of that video in your account? The vimeo and youtube, that's going to be coming from their respective data stores, but if you are serving the S3 video from your acct to your acct via the S3 protocol (and not using Amazon S3 storage itself), then I wonder how much of that $800/month is for the data storage of the video itself vs the web server proper. Do you know how that price breakdown works? Regardless, +1 to the hosting content on Providers A/B/C and have your web site hosted on Providers 1/2/3. But it's hard to say what could be "cheaper" without knowing how much you would have to store data-wise on that account. Last, in terms of migrating a site from Joomla to WP, it really depends on the complexity of the site. Video plugins are likely going to work without much trouble, but if you have a large user base, administrator setup, billing information, etc that could be a little more difficult to move over. But not impossible, and having worked with both I'd go for WP over Joomla every time. hth, wesley On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 11:44 AM, Chris McQuistion <[email protected]> wrote: > We use Wordpress.org to host our site. > > On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 11:39 AM, Michael L <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> May I ask what hosting company that is?
