(Quote) Hi Katie, Thanks for looking into this. As far as I'm concerned Hetzner Box storage is very good. Upload speed from servers (when doing backups) seems super fast, and that's what's most important IMO. Just wanted to confirm I'm not doing …

(Quote) Do you have a better recommendation? For automated storage of DirectAdmin hosting accounts, JetBackup doesn't seem to work well with Backblaze B2 for example, so I switched to Storage Box and that works fine - and it is a lot faster for any…

(Quote) Rebranded - I fixed the link, but didn't edit every mention in the article. As for the exposure - I use HTTPS and SSH for most work, uploads, downloads etc. I also use a silly domain (some-string.some-tld), with a silly subdomain (string.s…

I don't develop new sites on a regular basis - so keep that in mind. I usually do it on a hosting server. It makes it easier for me to work on the site wherever I am, it makes it easier to collaborate, and I can see how it works on a hosting server…

(Quote) From what I could tell, without exact measuring, server backups get uploaded very, very fastly. :) That's what I use 99.99 % of the time. Weekly, I download the backups from Hetzner to my local HDD storage - but that can be done overnight,…

(Quote) For all I could tell, SSH gives similar results. Haven't tried any other methods for moving the files to and from my home PC. It's not a problem, not draggingly slow, gets the job done, just wanted to check if there is something I could do …

(Quote) Man, check out: https://www.bike-components.de/ I'm considering making an alternative option, with a naked chick with big boobies jumping out at you! Say no to that! :) It is annoying and pointless, at least we could make it fun. :) Ma…

(Quote) Here are some of my reasons (probably doesn't fit every person, nor every use case): * Comments capability comes out of the box. No need to pay for any third party service to allow article comments & replies. For my use, it's been a gre…

I know replies like this don't contribute much - but the first reply by @johnk covers all the high points, and I agree with what he's written. For my use case (websites that get edited and updated regularly) - WordPress is a better option (again - …

I'm still running some stuff on PHP 5.4. Using the CloudLinux "sanitized/whatever" PHP (making the obsolete versions less "unsafe"). For my own sites, I switched to 8.0 a few months ago. Was planning to wait for the 8.1 (.1 is a…

From what I could gather: It's too risky if you are working with clients. You need to find a good lawyer, and a good dev/admin whatever - and list all the services used, then write proper policies (in a legally acceptable form) for all of them (wha…

(Quote) Couldn't find THEIR privacy policy about the data given to them. :) It's nonsense - but I expect it all to go even crazier, more complicated, more expensive and more difficult to avoid even if you are not in the EU.

Thanks for the info @Ympker - I'll pass it for now though. :( Rant: Decided to not spend any more time nor any money on that lawyer/bureaucrat induced nonsense until I'm forced to. Running with free solutions - Google's own (unlimited and not run…
-
(Quote) Thanks for the heads up - will look into it. Though - I check backups regularly and still prefer doing them server-side.

So far so good - my Brixly hosting first impressions: https://io.bikegremlin.com/25425/brixly-uk-hosting-review/

(Quote) I asked @Ympker He liked Brixly. He's German. I don't like Germans.... :) Joking. Giving Brixly a test as of this morning. Will write and publish the standard long, boring detailed notes on the pros and cons in my hosting reviews section. …

Wait 'till 5.9.1... or 5.9.2. for that matter. Until it gets reasonably well patched. :)

It was PHP after all - as I wrote in the topic on the WP problem. Took them too long IMO - almost 12 hours with no feedback whatsoever (I did ask them to let me know if they are working on it, or not so I can start migrating websites... and after ab…
-
Feedback: The issue was caused by a bug in an update with Imunify360. The update added an incorrect entry in the systems PHP 8.0 configuration which caused PHP 8.0 to throw errors and not load correctly. They have removed the incorrect entry and …

Seems to have been fixed - waiting to hear if the provider will provide any feedback on the problem cause. And will be able to see the logs for today in the morning.
-
(Quote) Can't tell from the logs that I can see. :( I'm interested to know what those are too.

I stand corrected. WP install did go through after about 10 minutes (highly unusual - too slow, never seen anything like that). But the website shows exactly the same problems as the other WP websites on my account - can't open it, can't log into th…

(Quote) Did it. Have relayed every info I came across today - as ticket updates.
