The exit door got narrower
Heard this week: a source tells us a managed host adjusted its backup-export format and throttled outbound transfer speeds, making full-site migrations off the platform meaningfully slower. Framed as 'abuse prevention,' it functions as soft lock-in.
What it means for you: leaving a host is becoming an engineering project, not a button. When export is slow and the backup file is in a flavor only their tooling reads cleanly, you stay by friction, not loyalty.
Unconfirmed, but we hear a migration-services upsell is being floated to 'help' you leave.
Watch this: test your export and a trial restore elsewhere now, while you're not under pressure.
