Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
They do have an automated nightly SQL backups, and a config backup.
Those are the two that I'm most nervous about, since I my code at home is never more than 8 hours out of synch with the site itself. Config, I have no idea how to start, and SQL -- backing it up across the pipe is really time-consuming.
I had assumed, I'm not sure why, that the istrata plans were fully managed the way the FG/IH plan was. So now I'm just wondering what else they might not be taking care of.
It seems like they backup the database but you have to DL it and are responsible for restoring it in the event of a problem.

Given I've never managed to get a SQL backup file on my own, this is a step ahead. And 7 days of snapshots are kept on the server too, so it's possible to set up a grandfathering scheme with one a week offsite. I was planning on getting a bigger hard drive anyway.
I'll ask about file backup.
Can I just say that I feel so tidy and organized with all the closed threads archived, and us all dandy and ready to forge forth into the wild and unruly world of hosts? Because I do.
I just got the "cannot connect to remote server" thing again.
I got it too.

Are there any more tech questions for iStrata? Any objections to or issues with the answers received so far?
Do we have the option to "sublet" some of our space, setting up accounts and domains for others, like what Fangeek was offering?
