(Quote) Jeez, that is at a price/resource point even proven quality and managed providers wouldn't charge.
-
I can imagine HM have a lot of public reselling and it will hit hard there. But still, if you are happy with them then that is all that matters. The pricing is still really not that bad for what they offer. It's the resources that will cause the …

(Quote) I had two entry reseller plans, one had 12 accounts then I only currently had 2 on the 2nd reseller.
-
(Quote) Nope. Again sounds like the Entry Processes that were per account at 30 were left at 30 for the whole reseller which is not going to work. So probably just increased the EP's to fix their mistake in that area.
-
(Quote) Just shy of 10GB and 14 sites all done. Just waiting on it all resolving now.

Blocksy I can live with really, it's actually Stackable I am less certain about in terms of their future. When I see a company doing dirt cheap lifetime licences too often it makes me wonder why. Maybe try the Divi builder demo again and try to re…
-
At the moment using Blocksy, which is great all the way down to the same thing, granular control of elements. I have had to add Stackable for that. The combination of the two is pretty much perfect but pricey.
-
I want to give Divi another try but I am very much a minimalist when it comes to my own sites, Divi does not (or at least did not ) offer enough granular control of elements on the page last time I tried.
-
(Quote) Clearly yes. The cost is still nothing to many people after the increase. But for many, the trust is eroding or eroded. It's well put by @Amadex above. Again the provider is not in control here the customer is. If existing customers rema…

I signed up with Brixly, went with DA just for a change of panel scenery. Will go with @bikegremlin suggestion and get a Hetzner storage box for backups which would appear to work well with DA. Out of the gate, their service is ridiculously fast, …
-
(Quote) Again not in question. To be clear, it is about the structure of the archive itself and accessing the files for other purposes or restore to other panels. How Jetbackup functions within itself is fine regardless of the location of the arch…
-
(Quote) The point isn't about restoring, it is about your own off-site backups and retrieval from the Jetbackup archive itself.
-
Checked out Brixly again in more detail, going to migrate to them. I might even just give DA a shot this time. Preference for cPanel but for the sites in question it makes no difference. Exact same price either way, you do get a bit more accounts…
-
(Quote) I don't think just because people are upset/annoyed at a price increase it must mean the provider simply wants to cut them loose. Certainly, a case of you either accept the changes or move on. The provider isn't the one in control.
-
(Quote) I have done some testing in the past, support is fast and efficient, they have recently carried out some major upgrades to their infrastructure including moving to NVMe. Struggled to find anything bad about them. Some highlights of the rec…
-
(Quote) I guess if it was me I could live with that. I mean it's not really just a button press to do the transfer from cPanel to DA. It's admin time. Some charge for that others don't. $10 not to do it myself during my current lazy ass streak w…
-
(Quote) Indeed, would rather stick with a UK server provider so will probably move the sites in question over to them. (Quote) Indeed, wasn't even my own personal reseller that was the issue, it was the one I use for family/close friends. Not a pa…
-
(Quote) This is exactly what happened to me, noticed issues, couldn't initially figure it out. then happened to check the announcements section and I see the change posted, never got an email or any notice.
-
(Quote) That's not going to happen.
-
(Quote) I think it was reasonable to let them work it out, the service is good, performance was good. Most like myself were anticipating that by this point they got the numbers figured out and would have factored in some headroom for the anticipate…
-
My plan will go from $9.95 -> $12.50, assuming they continue to honour the 25% discount then I am actually just going to pay the window price of $9.95. $9.95 is absolutely nothing to me at the end of the day, as an often-used saying that is very…
-
(Quote) Thanks, make sense. I did think a comment I saw was incorrect which suggested they did. Which really made no sense.
-
(Quote) No.
-
Curious about the Pro Pack DA is offering now. Is this being provided with free licences you see being offered with some providers like BuyVM and IH?
-
Also, reading the thread on WHT about the cPanel price increase which HM has been commenting on, they seem to all but confirmed they are going to increase pricing again. So have a double boot in the bollocks which they will likely wait until the ve…
-
I have too many systems, sometimes I need the simplest solution which does not include having yet another box just for storage.
-
(Quote) To be clear, I am referring to the ability that HostMantis provides that allows you to use S3 or another cloud option in Panel and automate. Neither DA nor cPanel has that ability baked in. Jetbackup has that but only if the provider lets …
-
The only real reason I used HostManits is that they provided the ability for your own off-site backups. If I can't replace that, which so far appears unlikely I will just use a VPS and install Jetbackup myself. Does anyone know of any other provid…
-
(Quote) Indeed, not as easy as they all think. cPanel is evolving into what it should have been many, many years ago. A business, run like a proper business intent on increasing value and profit. The result of that is the licence paying customers…
-
(Quote) I don't see any need to migrate from cPanel, just from the providers that have little business acumen (most LE*) and price efficiently to manage the changes in panel pricing that are pretty obvious in their pattern of increases. Sucks? sur…
-
I had thought the last changes had set them up to deal with anticipated future price increases that we all knew were coming. Seems unlikely. Again, I am not against paying more for good service so I can keep cPanel for the wider convenience but no…
-
(Quote) Well, after the slient change to resources I am out of goodwill with HostMantis so will be migrating away. Yes, probably will change pricing again.
-
(Quote) Indeed. I gave them the benefit of the doubt a couple of times now but my goodwill has run out. To be honest, I just see the cPanel price hike in January bringing another last-minute increase to their plans. Really don't trust them now. …
-
Their pricing strategy was wrong and something was going to give eventually, just a matter of time. In this case, a VC saw how wrong they were doing it. I mean I was paying the same amount in 2005 for licences I was being charged for in 2019. In …
-
(Quote) Thanks, had performance issues and couldn't initially understand why. That's them dumped then! Will migrate away this week.
-
(Quote) Not a sale, they often do no setup offers.
-
Not going to try and defend HostMantis, but I do like them as a provider. I have said several times I think their communications are not the best but I can understand, or potentially understand some of their actions. When cPanel dropped their 1st …
-
(Quote) Well, they are in terms of the way 4 operates to 5 but I looked again. In actual fact, if you simply extract the main file stored in JB5 it still opens as an archived set of files as it did before. All good.
-
I totally get the idea behind all of this but JB5 removes my trust with providers again. I was comfortable using some providers I would not normally 'trust' fully on the basis I had a simple path to use the remote backup option to store backups on …
