Being stuck with one default server (Amazon Web Services to my understanding) has its problems: The websites I create don't open for my clients in Iran. Apparently, this is because AWS has restricted access to Iran.
I would wish that Strikingly would find a solution. Some suggestions that come to my mind are:
- Giving users some choice regarding hosting server
- Allowing users to host on their own server
If this cannot be done for all Strikingly clients, maybe Strikingly would make exceptions for those who are greatly impacted by this issue?
For example, I run an advertising agency in Canada and I have a branch in Iran. But I can't promote myself in Iran as things are right now since nobody can open my website there (unless they use a VPN).
I hope that the developers look into this issue and find a solution for it.
