ASO alternative
-
I am running all my sites off of AWS S3 buckets and with global CloudFront enabled for less than $1,00/mo. Even have a few basic eCommerce type sites running on this using stripe and a free heroku dyno for payments. you can always run an ec2 instance if you needed the server.
-
Currently using the 14 days trial of Cloudways and now in the process of migrating my WP site to the new server. Just started with the $5 DO server, will update here about the results!

I will check that again when I'm back home. Weak 3G/4G signal here in the hospital

Just checked with friend of mine and he got the same issue, some sort of caching, meantime you can see the site if you add ?and some numbers at the end.

@Ambarishrh yep, can see it now. Is there some (reverse) caching proxy in front?
-
Should be fine now, there was W3 cache initially there which got disabled after the site migration. It is accessible from multiple locations.

How are you liking Cloudways?
-
So far so good, but too early to comment! The interface is easy, got quite a lot of controls available. If all goes well, in a few days will kill ASO and continue with cloudways

I've just checked Cloudways offerings, but it doesn't seem like you are able to run your own mail server there. They don't even offer some shared mail hosting at all. Instead, they are pointing you to Rackspace where each mailbox is $1/mo.
So my question is: How do you manage your mail accounts? Plain Gmail?

I switched to Zoho. It's free/cheap and you get a ton for the price.

I use Zoho as well for my mail.

I am still on my old Google apps free account!

Will take a look, but I want to stay within the EU
Thx for mentioning Zoho @stacksofplates and @coliver
