Moving to SecureDragon

· 2 min read

As a trial, I will move my another project to the SecureDragon today.
Despite bad review from several people because the TOS breaking for non polite words, I guess it’s because the people are not patient and not honoring another person. Same case just like QuickWeb. I saw many people having problem with them, and saying to be careful. But if I see it from the provider side, that the customer were the one having the problem, the customer were not polite and harassing the employee. So, it’s not a problem from the provider, but from the customer itself.
So, welcome to the new provider, SecureDragon. Wish I could stay long with them 🙂
