I can't belive my luck. My last site was on A2 when that was hit and now having fully rebuilt my site on myasp (smarterasp), 6 months later, this one is dead. I fear the same as then and nothing will be restored.

I have a local backup of site files and hopefully I can retrieve an up to date DB to move to yet another host.

I started to use https://www.peopleshost.com/
Support helped me to move my store.

My website is affected by SmarterASP.net

I hope it will be back up and running again.
However , anyone has experience of running NOPCommerce on
Google Cloud or AWS infrastructure ??

I am thinking of moving there and would request guidance for setup
with smart reserved billing.Currently I get around 200 users a day.

Thanks

It's seems that the windows platform is easily targeted and we have to pay extra for the privilege? Once nop 4.3 is out, would a move to mysql and a linux platform be benifical? It's quite a bit cheaper and as there's litterally loads of hosts to pick from, the chances of yours been hit are reduced? My understanding is it should be faster too!

I'm not a Web dev, just a self taught individual from videos, forums and trial & error, so my ideas might be woefully incorrect! Correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyone has experience in Running Nop Commerce 4.2 site on
Microsoft Azure ?

Tell me Cost and Speed Experience Compared to Hosting Sites ?

Thanks

70-100$
More slow.

Well, after 4 days I looks like we are finally allowed to get a backup of our DB (at least the DB does not appear as offline anymore). So my question here is; is it secure to bring this DB to our new hosting (we were moving away after the unprofessional way that the Smarterasp people handled all this situation)? What should I look for in order to find if it was compromised?

Are guys staying with them after the disaster?

>is it secure to bring this DB to our new hosting

It's safety. Don't worry.
It's not a program. It's a database.

P.S.
I know about start triggers :).
