I'm hoping though, that once the NBN service stabilises then the drop-outs will stop and my IP will very rarely change (as it was for 2 years with Telstra cable).

The only one remaining hosted at home is used for development and previews, and it has a cert, and it uses SQL Server databases and the file-system. So moving it all up to Azure hosting will be frightening technical challenge that I haven't got the stomach for yet. As I was saying here last year ... I hate hosting *anything*, so I'm looking forward to being able to eventually get the last site off my server, dismantle it and replace it with a little portable media server for music and video. Maybe that will be the Xmas holiday project! *GK*
