(Quote) Right, that's the forever-problem, which is basically unsolvable. :) To tell the truth, I'm still a bit on the fence with respect to URL shorteners: for me, it's not so much a question of how to solve the forever-problem (which I can't solv…

(Quote) Okay, I see: you're asking about how one would make the service less attractive to spammers. This is a good question, and I haven't yet thought much about it, but in my particular use case (for a small group of users on a server that I mana…

(Quote) netcup are a very no-nonsense German company mostly aimed at the German market, and secondarily, at the non-German EU market. I've had (and still have) nothing but positive experiences with their vServers and Root-Servers, but -- yes -- it's…
-
(Quote) Just to clarify: their Root Servers have CPU pass-through for the most part, but hardware virtualization is not passed through (so no vmx) without an additional fee.

(Quote) Sorry -- which comment are you referring to?

(Quote) That's a clever solution that makes good (and unexpected) use of a GitHub account. If I may say so, the author appears to be mainly addressing an audience that would prefer not to pay for a domain or for a hosting service, and accordingly, h…

(Quote) Intriguing. I don't think that I was really familiar with the notion "branded link" before. =)
-
(Quote) This looks nice and may be more of an "enterprise solution" than YOURLS is, but It may be overkill for my needs on this server. Also, I noticed: (Quote) :o

(Quote) You're right that this would be a good use for cheap shared hosting. (I have shared hosting with @SmallWeb that I play around with.) At the moment, the server in question (a VPS) is already up and running, and I'd like to use the server's d…

(Quote) Yes, on this particular server, it would be offered as a private service, so I would need to protect it sufficiently. If I tried to offer a public service, it would be on another server. :)
-
Although I understand the attraction of "free", a modest but reliable web hosting service really doesn't cost much these days, so I personally would prefer to pay something for peace of mind and accountability of the provider rather than t…

(Quote) I feel that @georgedatacenter should have quadrupled the price of the first offer ($3 --> $12) and also quadrupled the amount of stock (1 --> 4 or 2 --> 8 or 3 --> 12 or ...?). :)

Nextcloud is in a different comparison class than FileGator, so there wouldn't be much point in directly comparing the two. Clearly, if all that you want/need is a web-based file manager, then Nextcloud would be overkill, but the question (which I a…
-
Although FileGator looks shiny and nice, I wonder what its main use case is. After all, we have ftp. Also, since version 7 is "completely rewritten from scratch" and dates from only last year, I'd be a bit cautious before installing it on…

(Quote) You may need to wait a while still. I suspect that that was a once-in-a-lifetime offer.
-
(Quote) Fair enough (by the time that I saw that offer, it was gone!). We'll see what @georgedatacenter says.
-
(Quote) For $25/year, I can't really imagine that it would be a dedicated thread. I think that he simply forgot to write "fair share" next to it.

(Quote) Indeed, and they say that 5 domains is a soft limit: (Quote) (From https://www.migadu.com/pricing/#what-is-the-soft-limit-on-the-micro-plan ) (Quote) Yeah, 20 out/day does seem pretty limiting for anyone who actually uses their email accou…

(Quote) Thanks for your initiative. I would suggest Debian and Devuan: * Debian: https://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror.en.html * Devuan: https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan_mirror_walkthrough.txt

A good piece of advice is to get domains from registrars and not from hosts. If the domains were bought under his name, he should stand a decent chance of getting them back, but if they were bought under the host's name, it may be difficult. In any…

(Quote) If I may ask, what score does your mail server obtain at https://www.mail-tester.com/ ?
-
(Quote) But the thing is that a properly set up mail server should have a PTR record. Spammers often use mail servers that aren't set up properly. Naturally, we can't say whether this is Barracuda's exact issue or not, but at the same time, the con…

(Quote) A PTR record is a sine qua non if you want to send mail. (And you shouldn't really expect Barracuda to tell you this.)
