Database

Every time my websites’ database server goes down, two things cross my mind:

– Would it be worth managing the server myself so I can at least troubleshoot it?
– Would it be worth migrating two decades’ worth of WordPress blog posts to a static site generator and just ditching the DB going forward?

OK, three:

– What changed that is causing the server to go down every couple of weeks instead of once a year?
