(Quote) That does appear very specific and in response to something so I suspect they have had issues in the past and it is a visual deterrent. I didn't look at their terms, I don't look at any to be fair as they are mostly boiler plate. That said…
-
(Quote) Yeah, depends on many factors, wider wealth and so on. Nothing that I am getting into here.
-
(Quote) It was originally seen as Gambling in the UK so no tax, but it is now very much a capital gain therefore taxable. But creatively you can offset to reduce. Not clear cut.

In the last 3 and a bit months, my Crypto returns were shy of $8,500. I would never mine though. I prefer to watch, buy and sell depending on factors that cause such an unregulated market to fluctuate so much. Rarely do I hold Crypto for long. W…

(Quote) Indeed, Netcup makes a simple service complicated.

@johnk - Thanks for the interesting views from a providers perspective. What I can say from a personal perspective is that I have been able to get better performance using NginX and other caching plugins than LS and their plugin. But as you say, i…

(Quote) I had grown up by DOS, my first language was COBOL but neither is going to help us in 2021. :)
-
(Quote) Sounds like you are not someone with much command-line experience or spent time on configuration. I say that as you are thinking it is a time hog. You get out what you put in. You get more out from less time if you know what you are doing…
-
(Quote) In shared environments probably. On your own VPS, nah, NginX performs way better. How many of say the top couple of hundred websites use LS? None. They mostly use NginX. I don't even know anyone who would use OLS or favour LS in anythin…

(Quote) If you have knowledge and experience it takes no time. That said even if you do and I do there are times when it is just simpler to use someone like HM or in my case Brixly for some sites. For other sites, I have a cluster setup with DO be…

Really just a factor to consider especially if MySQL based sites appear to be running slow. As suggested, it depends on the provider. It can be easy to see it with WordPress sometimes when you log into the Admin Panel. A plugin heavy site general…
-
(Quote) I have a setup with DigitalOcean where one Droplet is dedicated to MySQL, nothing else, it makes a significant difference keeping that away from all other operations related to site operation. The issue with shared environments is that ther…
-
(Quote) It would but then if you are doing that it is not likely that you will be using shared hosting. Many go on about CPU being the main bottleneck but I suspect in many cases that is not true. MySQL can be the bigger bottleneck in a shared env…

(Quote) Let me put it in a less diplomatic way. HostXNow? Lol, no.
-
(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.
