The purpose of education is to show people how to learn for themselves. The other part of it is that you need to reach that state of independence and self-reliance.
I'm happy to say that everything seems to be back to normal. I'll give Wasabi credit: they had a problem that was beyond their control but they handled it professionally, responded to my emails in a timely fashion (from the CEO no less), and resolved it as quickly as possible. Almost every Internet provider has someone else in the chain above them that can cause them problems. For me, it was Wasabi. For them, it was GoDaddy. Even GoDaddy has had issues before. It's all how you handle the problems that matters. So I give Wasabi a thumbs up.
And based on the explanation of the problem this appears to be an extremely rare one-time issue. Of course, if it happen again then I'll have to re-evaluate my choice of providers, but I know how problems can occur. I've been in the Tech industry since 1992. Pardon my French, but "shit happens." It's how you deal with it that counts. I use GoDaddy myself to host the web site. At least once every 2 years we have a major outage lasting a day or more. Over time, however, they've been pretty reliable and do deliver the 99.9% uptime they advertise, otherwise I would have bounced long ago. Even YouTube and Facebook have outages sometimes. It's unavoidable. I am considering a backup location for all of my videos though. I do have them all backed up here in-house, but if Wasabi were to suddenly go out of business, I would have to re-upload TERABYTES of video to another provider. I did it 4 months ago when I switched from AWS to Wasabi and it took DAYS.
