[Box-Admins] Re: Squeak's hosting provider(s), bills

[Ken Causey]

Thanks for the info Craig.

I'm not aware of any other bills.

Regarding moving the server for billing/business reasons, frankly it's
somewhat of a PITA ;).  I don't have a lot of time right now to be
setting up a new server.

That said one of my thoughts since the problems in October was that we
should consider distributing our services across multiple servers,
probably VPSes.  By doing that when a problem occurs it should only
affect some services and not all of them.

But this is something I could only work on in spurts and so I can't see
anything happening very very soon.

Isn't this billing arrangement just temporary until the situation with
SFLC is finally sorted out?
