Setting up static hosting for a print shop
29 Sep 2024
How a print shop deals with static hosting — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: an inbox shared between the office and the webmaster. This breaks static hosting for a print shop.
Before you touch static hosting, take a screenshot of the current state. Half of our emergency calls come from people who cannot remember what was there before the change.
The vendor promised a print shop that static hosting was handled. We verified: it was not. Trust but verify has saved more uptime than any product we have used.
a print shop did not need a portal. They needed a page that said who they are, what they do, and a phone number that somebody picks up before the fifth ring.
We once forgot to renew static hosting for a weekend project and it took down a page that a print shop linked to from a print flyer. We now set auto-renew on everything.
After the move, an inbox shared between the office and the webmaster broke search indexing for a print shop. Google kept serving the old pages for another nineteen days.
We got a call from a print shop on a Friday. Their static hosting had expired overnight, and the booking page was returning errors to every visitor.
