- Unreliable Support. Previous hosting provider offered limited support hours and slow response times, problematic for a critical infrastructure organization that needs 24/7 availability.
- Outdated Infrastructure. Legacy hosting environment lacked modern performance features like CDN, advanced caching, and automated optimization tools needed for optimal website delivery.
