review

I've been looking at Drupal hosting solutions recently, and after trying a few I thought I would write a quick review of each. I was specifically looking for hosting providers that provide dedicated Drupal hosting support and an administration dashboard of some kind. It turns out that a handful of such suppliers exist. Whilst it is perfectly possible to setup a server on AWS or DigitalOcean and then install Drupal there, this isn't what I am looking at. The good thing about Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions is that you get hosting, backup, recovery, logging, tools, and analysis all built in. Some platforms even have extra tools like build pipelines, marketing systems or analytics.

I very recently took delivery a 15 inch MacBook Pro (my first Apple computer) and I thought I would write about my reasoning behind it. Normally, people don't tend to ask why you bought a computer, but with Apple products it seems to be different. I think I have stated my reasons to a few different people already, so I thought it would make a good blog post.
