What a plumber needs to know about static hosting
3 Apr 2024
How a plumber deals with static hosting — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a plugin login nobody has used since March. This breaks static hosting for a plumber.
Instead of migrating static hosting all at once, we ran both configurations in parallel for a week. The switch happened on a Wednesday morning — the quietest traffic window.
Most providers let you export static hosting as a zone file. We keep one in version control for every client. If the hosting vanishes, the zone file rebuilds the domain in minutes.
Big agencies solve static hosting with a team. We solve it with a checklist and a dig command. The result is the same; the invoice is shorter.
Launch day for a plumber is usually light. Week three is when leftover tags, fonts, and staging URLs show up. a plugin login nobody has used since March is the usual passenger.
You do not need a status page if you have never gone down. a plumber is on month fourteen of zero downtime, and the secret is boring: correct static hosting and a host that does not oversell.
We told a plumber that a plugin login nobody has used since March was a ticking clock. They agreed to fix it the same week — which is rare. Most clients wait until it actually detonates.
