(Quote) I'm using Windscribe for the computer - and it's very good. But this does look like a move that might take the business away from many other companies. They've included several more services options for the customers: https://support.apple.…

They also bought Yoast SEO in August this year (my EIG article)

(Quote) Like my files the other day, my faith in JetBackup has been restored. :) (Image)

Mining's never been where the profits are made. When you calculate the costs in time, equipment, electricity and the potential profit gains by investing that elsewhere. Buying (at a price that you are convinced with enough probability that will be …

(Quote) I'll bee sawing thems for domages!

(Quote) LiteSpeed works fine right out of the box - so I'm giving myself the liberty to conclude it's not a matter of hours? I'll make an article - with screenshots. Beginner-friendly (in case any newbies need it), but in great detail, so even expe…
-
(Quote) Thanks for the info. Appreciated. :) Just to confirm: Can I expect the SSH backups to remain with the "normal" file structure in the following few years? Or is that planned for a change? Because I understood it's going to be ch…
-
(Quote) This is why I prefer testing any changes/updates in one test environment, before applying it to production. The main reason I keep any auto-updates disabled. Thanks for the thorough response and explanation. :) I find direct provider feedb…
-
(Quote) I grew up with DOS. :) Not afraid of (nor worried about) the command line (though, for everyday use, I'd sure as hell like a control panel). More worried about checking for hacks, DDoS, are the backups running fine, does the server need any…
-
(Quote) As with the previous post, not arguing/disputing, just thinking and asking: I've tested WordPress with a reseller hosting server where I was practically the only user (don't know the specs, so it is not a very useful info) - NginX didn't sh…
-
(Quote) Questions and thinking out loud: From what I could test, WordPress performs noticeably faster with LiteSpeed. I know there are alternatives, but none are as good. For isolation of one website from the others - is there a FOSS solution that…
-
(Quote) Managing a VPS takes time, knowledge and experience. If you're happy to do it - it could be good (depending on how much you "price" your time). Likewise - when several websites are under one "account" (or on one VPS witho…
-
(Quote) That is true. That's why shared hosting providers who pile a lot of customers on one server, or don't distribute customers per their average load, across different servers, or tolerate abuse - have slower performance. That is also why I exp…
-
(Quote) That could be correct (and it makes sense). I'm keeping an eye on the reported resource usage stats - CPU and DB are "bundled" together there, stated as: "CPU Usage. DB usage included." Then again, it's the resource limi…
-
(Quote) I think the question is an excellent one (generally, I think there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers). If I understood correctly what you mean, that has been bugging me for some time now: how to make a distributed database, that …
-
(Quote) Very few providers offer more than 1vCPU per a cPanel account - for reseller hosting at least. The way prices are going though, it's getting very close to renting a fully managed VPS (with all the pros and cons). They want to make money - e…
-
(Quote) Yes, vCPU is the bottleneck with WordPress (that is by far the most widely used "tool," at least in my country), but not with every other CMS. Similar can be said for the well-optimized (and cached) WordPress websites (my testing …
-
(Quote) That aligns with my experience - 10 accounts is pushing the limits of the current resources for the Reseller Entry. The new resource allocation has practically made the non-Enterprise reseller accounts pointless.
-
(Quote) The current resource allocation with Enterprise Reseller accounts is a perfect fit for me. But for anyone re-selling hosting, it's practically a 2x (or more) price increase, because their non-Enterprise Reseller hosting plans have been gutte…
-
(Quote) Seems so. A fixed mistake presented as a resource boost. They also fixed the total process number (that's not disclosed as a resource limit on the website, but was also relatively low, then increased to a reasonable number along with the EP …
-
I switched one of my accounts to DirectAdmin - to give that a test and see if it's working fine. Asked if I'd be keeping my discount when doing that. Only to figure that the renewal price for the DirectAdmin is greater than the renewal price for th…
-
(Quote) It does a great job. I love being able to one-click restore a whole account to one of the previous days/weeks backed-up stages. The problem I have with it is restoring it with another provider, on another server (or in my local environment)…
-
I've done some calculating. HostMantis Entry Reseller package, with the practically-always-available 25% discount, and quarterly payments, ends up at under $6 per month. If you create 20 cPanel accounts (25 is the max allowed), that gets $ 6.8 to c…
-
(Quote) I do it - even manually (at least a few times), to confirm I can do it and it all works properly. So I can always move away just as easily, in case of any problems. :)
-
Seems to have started to "hit" some clients, with some providers.
-
(Quote) I'd call that an "uberdick" move - should have been done with an at least one-month prior notice.
-
(Quote) Why I think VPS is not as convenient as reseller hosting. With a 25% discount, if paid quarterly, their Enterprise Entry reseller hosting is under $14 per month. Fully managed, LiteSpeed (excellent for WordPress), CloudLinux, and Imunify360…
-
(Quote) I completely agree with you - and felt as if it would be out of my control if I weren't able to do a manual migration, and manual cloning. Only after having perfected that was I happy to use the on-click stuff - because it saves time. But i…
-
(Quote) Depending on what you are moving, and where to, doing it manually sometimes requires some concentration for a few search/replace commands (for the files and/or for the database). But I agree. Even with shared hosting, it's nice when SSH is …
-
I prefer light themes - and use f.lux for making the white be less white when it's nighttime. :)
-
Here are the stats, and my impressions, after some more testing. TL/DR - Reseller Entry is probably useless because of only 1 vCPU, but the Reseller Enterprise Entry looks surprisingly good. https://io.bikegremlin.com/23094/hostmantis-enterprise-re…
-
(Quote) That's all true and correct. Most of the sales boil down to marketing. Psychology and all. Bullshit if you like - that is a good term for it. :) Bigger companies usually make more money (depending on the niche, they often pay tons of dolla…
-
(Quote) That is true, and sad. I've been facing the same problem and decided to (finally) start paying for the Hetzner Storage Box. It is more expensive than S3 (and Backblaze B2), but it works like a charm, and I couldn't find another way to backup…
-
...> @Lee said: (Quote) DA has a built-in automated backup feature. It works with MyW hosting. cPanel can also be configured for automated backups (unless the provider explicitly forbids that). In my experience, as long as you don't abuse it (…

(Quote) The customers are paying the price. Owners will have their capital multiplied and need not necessarily care what happens with the product (nor its customers) afterwards.
