Firstly I have my fixed IP in my =office, plus a nano instance on AWS that is my VPN. Having the VPN =allows me to use it as a fixed IP address to provide security into =servers when I am not in my office.

I don=E2=80=99t have an issue with =working on remote dev servers, it can be a bit slower sometimes but the =advantage is in using a mirrored environment.

My AWS clients all have their "wizz bang=E2=80=9D hosting =solutions plus a development server in the same region on the same =network but is locked to everyone except me and the client.

The dev server is a =mirror of the live server(s).

All dev work is done & authorised =then changes are downloaded to a local & cloud repository =(GoogleDrive).

Git is then used to publish any changes - I am using an older =version of Tower that has a lifetime license.

I am also using Jenking to sync =multi-server solutions, this works nicely with git as at the completion =of a push, a script is fired to Jenkins to sync all servers. Jenkins =also syncs at fixed periods during the day/night.

Other clients that I host have a similar arrangement on the =DigitalOcean platform which I am coming to love even more every =day.

And then the adhoc clients have their =own hosting solutions that I don=E2=80=99t administer.

This setup allows me to work anywhere in the world, all =clients are backed up at the server level by the methods available on =AWS & DO, and with my local/cloud repositories and dev servers I am =very confident that I can manage any disaster that may happen.

Kind regards

Absolutely. For me that day came =10-20 years ago.

There are few things more difficult that giving =up the
control of having a server in front of you and on =your own
LAN.

I've= always had a server in front of me on my LAN, and I
can =think of no reason to ever give this up.

=46r=om the very first time I used WebDNA it was on my local
development server. When issues appear on this server I =fix
them, then I test again ...

Only when everything is working 100% on my local server =will
I upload my changed files to the live server. This =totally
eliminates any problems I may have otherwise =created by
developing on a live server.

It just makes sense.
