Today I will cover the resources and infrastructure you’d need to consider to build such a service. I am not proposing that the business is built on the premise of working for $5 per hour to build new sites for each client.https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2009/12/09/ads-dont-belong-your-business-site/Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2009/12/09/ads-dont-belong-your-business-site/Back in the late 90s there was a range of free website hosting options - GeoCities, Angelfire and Tripod are the big 3 I remember straight off the top of my head. The business model was pretty simple, you got a free site, albeit with a bad URL, and the host got to inject ads into the page. The first “site” ever I ever built was hosted by tripod and is still up, I have forgotten the login details so it hasn’t been updated for years.https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2009/12/08/updating-all-your-drupal-sites-once-aka-lazy-persons-aegir/Tue, 08 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2009/12/08/updating-all-your-drupal-sites-once-aka-lazy-persons-aegir/Aegir is an excellent way to manage multi site drupal instances, but sometimes it can be a bit too heavy. For example if you have a handful of sites, it can be overkill to deploy aegir. If there is an urgent security fix and you have a lot of sites (I am talking 100s if not 1000s) to patch, waiting for aegir to migrate and verify all of your sites can be a little too slow.
