Learned the hard way that an untested backup is a Schrödinger backup.

My monitoring setup alerts me within a minute of downtime and costs nothing.

Staging is just a subdomain plus a database copy — nothing fancy, works fine.

Moving from shared hosting to a VPS was the best decision for my sites.

Free CDN tier is more than enough for a forum.

Good point, I had not thought of it that way.

That has been my experience as well.

Same registrar here, never had a problem in six years.

Could not agree more.

A simple rsync cron is my entire backup strategy and I sleep fine.

Nice thread, following for the replies.

Test restores monthly — it has saved me twice now.

Bumping this because I ran into the same thing today.
