(Quote) Have you read the terms you signed up for when you bought that lifetime licence? What did it say around how long 'lifetime' is and what were the consequences for you in relation to their requirement to provide future support and/or upgrades…
-
(Quote) It always has been. Like I said earlier or in another thread, people used to whine about the cost of a $14 cPanel licence, claiming it was a complete rip off at that price as their VPS only cost $3 per month. Again, those that shout the lo…
-
I totally get some hosts wanting to move this time, for some, there is really no option given you could be paying up to $299 per month. But, I am now patiently waiting for the migrations to Blesta to start and for some to realise how lacking it is …
-
(Quote) Not in this end of the market, many moved to DA as they simply could not sustain what clients wanted at the price they were willing to pay.
-
(Quote) I was thinking that.
-
Any particular advantages with BunnyCDN over Cloudflare? Considering giving them a go.
-
(Quote) I know a few that are seeing a significant price increase that will force a move. Not what you might call 'big players' but big enough. I am sure @jarland mentioned somewhere he is looking at $299 a month for example. That won't work for…
-
(Quote) That is the fault of the hosting industry though. You can say WHMCS is or isn't worth the price paid as a piece of software. You can't say it is too expensive because I only charge my customer x or whatever. Not how it works despite many …
-
Yeah well, we will see how many move out of protest. Got my fingers ready for the count.
-
I doubt Hostbill will be cheaper for most though. They are min $600 up-front then $100 each year, $75 each for additional support tickets and although they call it "lifetime" any new features are not available in the version you buy, to g…

To be fair, it does not appear unreasonable. I mean if you have 2,500 clients and software that manages your billing, support, automated setup of services and so on. That works out at $0.03998 per client. Does not seem unreasonable to scale. As …

(Quote) It's not, but I then decided to demonstrate and two days later still thinking about it :)
-
(Quote) Guess which site I have been moving around and testing :) But yes, she is good with it, loves Blocksy. I have started to use it on a couple of sites as well. This whole discussion started when someone suggested her site was slow.
-
It is always variable, never going to change that. If anything it does prove that a CDN can in fact add more time to the page load. But again, depends, variables, etc.. Learnt a lot in the last 48 hours, that's the real benefit, for me at least :)
-
And with Cloudflare back on. (Image) TTFB (0.6s) - FCP (1.1) - LCP (1.5) All very interesting, I am spending way to much time on this :)
-
(Quote) Well, this is the thing, it is all very dependent on factors. I mean as mentioned above sometimes Cloudflare gets in the way. This is me running it again with HM, removing Cloudflare and reverting back to their own DNS. TTFB (58ms) - FCP …
-
(Quote) I guess the question is whether DDoS is going to be an issue for the site. I mean your average site won't need to worry about DDoS attacks. For the majority of site owners, I doubt that DDoS or IP exposure is even a consideration.
-
(Quote) This is an interesting one, I did test this yesterday by removing Cloudflare and reverting back to the provider DNS and from the UK/EU the overall performance based on GTMetrix improved enough to make it worthwhile not using a CDN. As expec…
-
Thanks, I think the discussion and purpose are clear without needing the thread needing to descend into privacy, illegal activity, ToS and so on. That is more of an LET than LES requirement.
-
(Quote) Whilst I agree with the happy medium approach unless there is something specific about your targeting needs, I honestly detest a site that makes me wait 2 seconds or more.
-
(Quote) What? Just yours? Do something about it if you think it could be better done. Nobody will stop you from opening a few threads.
-
(Quote) Absolutely, I think you would be making a mistake to include the Pro Pack in discounted/lifetime/legacy. What you provide now is good enough. If people in those categories want the pro option, I am sure you will provide a competitive cost …
-
(Quote) Sorry, just meant Hetzner, got their cloud on my mind as I am testing some things on there today..
-
(Quote) All shared/reseller hosting, no VPS, well maybe running on a VPS but I doubt it. Can't share the site, not mine, just used it as an example with the person I was discussing this whole topic with. Also, appears to be large just resized imag…
-
So more of a performance proof of concept I took a large, image-heavy WordPress install, not mine but I had permission and copied it to various locations and then ran it through GTMetrix. Either cPanel/DirectAdmin with Cloudflare. Hostmantis UK (c…
-
(Quote) I am the same, up in Scotland, just outside Glasgow. Everything is a round trip via London. So for me the same thing. That extra bit to/from large parts of Europe has no real effect. I mean the UK example is just that. A good host in th…
-
Slightly above your budget but worth it with Hetzner Cloud. 4 vCPU (AMD), 8GB Ram, 160GB NVMe, 20TB Traffic. 12.40 EUR monthly.
-
(Quote) Doubt it. (Quote)
-
(Quote) That was another point actually. I suggested that even if you picked a UK host and the performance is poor that will likely affect you more than say a German host that was significantly more performant.
-
(Quote) I like it. One of those things that you will get used to but an improvement. The only thing I don't like is that if you hover over the left side it pops up fine, but move back to the right to do something else on that page, you need to cli…
-
Had a play around with the new theme, looking really nice and feels a bit more intuitive in places where it wasn't before. Simple things make a difference.
-
(Quote) I saw what you did there.
-
(Quote) This is good but the reality is that CentOS is commonly chosen if you are using a control panel. You are now supporting CentOS 8 as you had to given you are so tied to cPanel. People in the main use Ubuntu/Debian without panels on their VP…
-
Still a big gap in the market for a good automated set and forget backup provider that does not charge the earth. JetBackup for Linux is a really good option price & feature wise but CentOS 7 only. Ottomatik.io is amazing but stupid expensive e…

@mason have you moved it? Seems super quick all of a sudden.
-
That is way nicer than the current ones. Especially the Icon Grid one which just makes me shudder when I see it.
