Just so everyone understands, "I" am not the one fixing it. Selena is.
All I am doing is assisting her in infrastructure needs.

Old version of Word press (not that it matters).

? You should... (have access that is)

As someone who has been doing the whole web hosting business since your
only option was a 2400 modem I can tell you that the way we do it works
well. I am not arguing that the vm idea is invalid. In fact it is
something we are moving to but we are able to provision and rebuild (if
required) very quickly.

Anyway, I don't know why we are having this discussion. I am not
arguing one way or the other to host it at CMD. The France machines are
fine.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
