Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace 34SP you would be making servers kept running, patched and backed up for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 94 of the 122 other web hosts grade higher. It costs $159.98 a year.
What you could not
- Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Weebly and Magento among them.
What this rests on. 34SP’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
