A legitimate decision.
THE SIGNS
You are not maintaining the server You dread touching it The control you wanted is not being used Your time is going into administration rather than your business
THE HONEST ASSESSMENT
An unmaintained server is worse than shared hosting in every respect.
It is slower, less secure, and more likely to fail badly.
WHAT MOVING BACK GIVES YOU
Maintenance handled Security patching handled Backups included Support available
WHAT YOU LOSE
Root access and the ability to install anything.
If you have not used those, you lose nothing.
HOW TO DECIDE
List what you actually do with root access.
If the list is empty, that is your answer.
IS IT AN ADMISSION OF FAILURE
No. It is a sensible reassessment.
Running infrastructure you do not maintain is the failure.
HOW TO MOVE
The same migration process, in reverse. Open a ticket and we will help.
