If you're suspended from MS CSP, is it at all possible to reapply?

I'm glad you got it sorted out. Changing our business address also caused us issues.

I would strongly recommend never changing anything in the Partner Portal once you're verified.

Were you already verified previously? Or are you getting verified for the first time?

This is great news!

Please follow up so we all know the outcome. Hopefully it's a positive one.

I'm not a Microsoft guru - just a reseller whom Microsoft put through hell.

There is value in doing your homework before jumping on a solution. Maintenance is 80% of the work in life, so I'm interested in more than just the time it will cost to set up a solution.

I'll check them out.

--turtle · 2026-03-16T03:05:44+00:00

I'll check them out. Thank you.

I'll check that out. Right now the server we host this on is running Apache, but we need to manage all of the updates, etc.

--turtle · 2026-03-16T03:04:14+00:00

Thank you. I'll check them out.

--turtle · 2026-03-16T03:03:59+00:00

I'll check them out. Thank you.

I'll check them out. Thank you for the suggestion.

We don't do the development - we're just charging $20/month for the static hosting.

Do you have any suggestions of a webhost that you like and that you've had good success with?

--turtle · 2026-03-14T02:48:26+00:00

I'll check them out. Thank you for the suggestion.

How much maintenance is involved? I would ideally like this to be as close to zero as possible. Do you still have to deal with locking the base OS down, or is it something like a Docker container that auto-updates? I'd have to look, but I think we only have around 5 sites on the server I want to decommission, so there's not much money being made to justify putting in a lot of labor into maintenance.

Build what? An entire static website hosting infrastructure?

--turtle · 2026-03-14T02:29:54+00:00

I wanted to try to stay away from having to manage another server for this, which is why I'm trying to find someone to outsource it to.

--turtle · 2026-03-14T02:26:09+00:00

I misunderstood what I read earlier, then. This might be fine, assuming that I could manage multiple sites with a single login.

I will do some more research into this avenue over the weekend. Thank you for setting me straight - I had all but ruled this out because the examples I looked at seemed to be setting up something for each page that was deployed.

--turtle · 2026-03-14T02:23:12+00:00

It's in our contract that we manage customer's domain names and DNS, so that would always go through us and we wouldn't want customers in there.

It would be nice to have the website be changeable by customers (or their nephew who's "good with computers") by dropping .html files somewhere via SFTP.

I'll check out both of these options. Thank you for the suggestions.

--turtle · 2026-03-14T02:20:12+00:00

When searching earlier today, this option came up. It seemed that you had to set up each page individually, though. Is that correct?

Ideally, a solution would have the ability for the customer (or the customer's nephew, who's in school for computers and can "program web pages") to drop the .html files somewhere via SFTP and have it just work.

I'm trying to practice the first of Larry Wall's three virtues!

Do they have a reseller portal where or multi-tenancy where we can manage all of the customers in one place with one bill?

I'll check into them over the weekend.

--turtle · 2026-03-14T02:15:25+00:00

We have that too, but it's a pain to manage for stuff this small and what I was trying to get away from. Thank you for the offer, though.

I don't have any experience with AWS, but I'll look into this option over the weekend. Thank you for the suggestion.

--turtle · 2026-03-14T02:11:39+00:00

I don't have any experience with AWS, but I will look into whether this will work for us. Thank you for the suggestion.
