There is a post on the Weld.com forum, in off-topic area, explaining the problem with WW, server problems.
Internals Everlast vs Invertig, same comparison as KIA vs rolls royce, one costs a lot more, but main concern is does it get the job done

If I recall correctly, he got shown the door. I don't recall that being a secret, but a big deal wasn't made about it either.Farmwelding wrote:Where is he anyways. I haven't seen him around lately.mechanic416 wrote:That's not nice Dave, you want to get Livingstone all upset
Not trying to step on any toes, that's just what I remember and could always be wrong.
For the record, I'm not a moderator here and don't want to cause any problems.

True, but in the age of cloud, why even have a server anymore? Put it all up in the cloud, get 99.99 server availability and 99.99999 data durability, for much less than the cost of buying a server or traditional hosting. it is super easy and dead simple.It’s shocking to think someone has a web site in 2018 without a backup.

One phrase I like is "There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer."Louie1961 wrote:True, but in the age of cloud, why even have a server anymore?

For sure it makes sense for web sites to be hosted by a service provider, not the content provider, in most cases. But what service provider doesn't maintain geographically disperse backups? Or perhaps the issue is that the content provider didn't bother checking how the the service provider's backups worked.
But you seem to be distinguishing "traditional hosting" from "the cloud." I'm not sure that's a valid distinction. Traditional hosting is the cloud and should include backups. But it may require that the content provider manually implement backups to some degree. I guess WW just chose a bad cloud (or ran it's own servers in an incompetent manner).
Actually it is a valid distinction. I work for the world largest cloud provider. The way we engineer for durability across multiple availability zones, the self healing of servers, and the autoscaling really make it much more than just somebody else's computer. We could lose entire data centers and your web site won't ever go down. The way our cloud is built is actually quite amazing.But you seem to be distinguishing "traditional hosting" from "the cloud." I'm not sure that's a valid distinction

We don't do backups in the traditional sense (tapes, and what not). We keep multiple copies of your data in object stores across multiple geographic regions. Recovery can be instant, near instant or somewhat delayed, depending on the class of object store you want to pay for. But our object store pricing is about half the cost of a traditional backup.Traditional hosting is the cloud and should include backups.

@Louie1961 I appreciate your points. I do agree that “backup” takes many forms and duplication is a valid backup scheme when geographically diverse.
I agree that “cloud” implies some degree of sophistication more than just a “Web host.” I maintain that there is a huge range of what people call a “cloud” service. While Amazon may have excellent practices in this regard (as does I believe BackBlaze, etc.) I would be surprised if everyone is as competent. Are there any standards for what can be called a “cloud” service?
The “someone else’s computer” was tongue-in-cheek.

That's better news than the complete black-out. I've seen it happen before and in one case the had to start over from scratch.
