    Think small businesses, charities, local municipal services, etc. Small IT budgets, low staff (if any) and just enough to pad out a subscription cost to a service provider that fits their needs.

    Did we not read the same comment? Not every service that was taken down was a website, like OP’s school. Plenty of small businesses, charities or local municipal services don’t have IT staff, commissioned their sites (including initialisation) and don’t necessarily know that 𝑥 company they pay, pays Amazon. Or how to do a whois search. You clearly don’t have a firm grasp on the realities of the world, nor work in IT “doing websites”.

      Holy fuck. Look people if you don’t like it then fuck off. My point isnt that OP or rando schools with down services are fucking idiots. it’s the people responsible to secure hosting for services - if they dont know what the fuck they are doing then they shouldnt be doing it.
