Exit Strategy, the big one, your business and death.
After seeing several guys pass away in this business, some that I knew or spoke with, and some that I didn't (but knew of). Its left me wondering what would happen to the business, and my family, if they found me dead at my computer one morning.
Are you a 1 man show and what do you have for a strategy if you pass on?
Is there someone who will even be able to log into your stuff and maintain it?
Do you have someone with enough qualifications to take over and maintain any type of revenues?
Is there systems or a service that could be used to store encrypted log ins for registrars and hosts that would at least make it possible for survivors to log in to the most basics of our networks, ftps, and registrars?
In the B.T.RIP thread they mention a host with a 'death policy', is this common? Do companies like registrars and hosts offer some sort of insurance policy to keep sites live if the webmaster dies?
Since so many of us work solo, and live solitary lives, should there be a 'check in' system so that if something happened to you, after X days of not checking in family/police are notified (think - I've fallen and I can't get up, or live alone webmaster has coronary)
