@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.

Maybe he got a new Zapper...a Kim Dong Too Short model 3 and leveled the place. The first couple days the outage site showed a red dot over my house so I was thinking I was a Zapee

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.

Pretty much everyone has, who cares.
I'll be sure to pass along that their computer work is slower than putting up a building... Wait, no i won't since they have nothing to do with each other...

Even you must realize that when you're going on 2 weeks, it is obviously not the highest priority. Any half ass technician could rebuild that server in an afternoon. I don't know the company but somewhere it was stated they had 6 or 7 major sites go down they were responsible for.
Is there any evidence they brought up their other websites before weldingweb? And yes bringing up a webserver could be a quick task. But reconstituting data might not be. And you are assuming the issue is technical and not financial. I dont think you know as much about hosting as you think you do.

This tells us that those other sites were much more important than WeldingWeb. If you're loosing revenue, the bean counters will be even less happy...I'm pretty sure they will get around to it when they can, it's not as if nobody is letting them know that people are waiting patiently for WeldingWeb to come back up.
I wouldn't want to be in their shoes...somebody has been in the fire for going on 2 weeks...and that is no fun...my condolences to whoever that may be...

I actually have no idea how long it takes, but I wish they would finish because there's a lot of excellent information on that website.
But, for all I know it's been sold and some new owner is deciding what to do with it

Good point, and for me also, I have no clue why the server hadn't been up for almost 2 weeks, I was merely going by what you said previously in the following post. For all I know that isn't even the case. I can think of a lot of "for all I knows...", but will refrain from comment as it seems nobody really knows what happened. And,
for all I know, the servers are still up and a router went down...
Never liked the "D" handle router, too bulky for my tastes. Plunge routers are OK, but a little heavy and awkward for many tasks.
New one hand routers are small and cute - easy handling for little jobs.
That's the extent of my router knowledge

I bought the Dewalt router with three bases. But I mostly leave it attached to the router table.

I'm looking to buy a router table for school. Sometimes it looks like it would be easier for younger kids.
I have a 7th/8th grade wood shop class.
Can't decide if that would be safer, or more dangerous, than using the regular router though.

There’s a huge range of bits available for the dewalt. There’s even one multipak called megabits
