I must say, I didn’t know there were so many political moves one must make to upgrade a web hosting environment.

Technically, it is a sound move. Windows Server 2008, IIS 7 and .NET 3.5 are the latest generation Windows OS and web hosting environment. The site I am managing isn’t even that complex of a site.

Politically, it seems there are so many people you have to “sell” in order to make the move.

That’s fine, but it is teaching me a skill I didn’t think I would learn while trying to upgrade a web hosting environment – create a win for a customer, create a win for someone internally, and create a win for myself.

All good skills, I must say, but I never would have thought I would be honing the above skill this way.
