Marketing Loft [Public] / Re: Website Update Issues
« Last post by Bill Hiatt on April 19, 2024, 11:55:29 PM »Update: I asked some presale questions of A2 Hosting and got answers back in a very short time. Same with follow-up for clarification.
I was particularly interesting in stuff that might screw up a migration, but they were able to put all my fears to rest.
Not only does switching hosts solve the Cloud Linux update issue (which is now meriting a link directly to the update script at the top of my cpanel dashboard) but it also solves a potential issue with Cloudflare. CF's more flexible packages require that you use their nameservers. Bluehost, while not forbidding the practice, clearly doesn't like it. There's even a request to correct the nameserver discrepancy buried deep in cpanel. Though it hasn't proved problematic yet, it might at some future point.
In contrast, A2 Hosting fully supports this kind of Bluehost arrangement and even explains how to set it up for someone doing it for the first time.
As far as costs are concerned, spending the same amount of money gets me a slightly better setup. I'll lose the money for the rest of my current BH term, but I won't have to risk blowing up my site over the CL update. Also, I'll be in a managed plan, so I'll never have to worry about OS updates again.
