Anyway, my opinion on the purpose of this thread for all it's worth. This site in my view has already peaked in terms of a forum, so although people are throwing names around largely based on "he's a good guy" type of view, the …

(Quote) Well, I think when I moved to get rid of Spirit and a couple of other things happened people were way more nervous about making requests for favours. I would like to think I at least influenced some positive change over there.

(Quote) Yes and no, the 'team' was corrupt and that was not as a result of Joel selling to CC or even CC themselves. Even when I was Mod the money, gifts and services I was being offered to get a provider in LEB, unbanned, a thread that d…

Also, thanks to those that helped me decide @retrotech and others. All up and running and now starting the looooong process of transferring the 1st lot of media. This thing is blazing fast though :)

I do like Amazon for speed. (Image)

I marked Netcraft emails as spam, ended up receiving so many that were just nonsense I just wanted them all blocked.

Done deal, ordered the enclosure and 2x 14TB drives plus extra ram and 2 NVMe for caching. Along with my existing 2 8TB drives this should keep me going on only cost £1200 for now instead of £2k.
-
(Quote) Excellent, I think that confirms my purchase then.
-
(Quote) I would probably do this if there was a decent cost-saving, but the drives are the killer so it would be a lot more hassle to DIY it than just buy something that does the job. With the DS920 you are getting 2x NVMe drives and more. Doesn&#…

(Quote) Actually, that was my other question, how easy it was to upgrade drives in place, so fairly simple if I use 2x 8tb and 2x14tb then decide to upgrade the two 8tb later?
-
(Quote) Yes, I do like the way SHR works, I have two 8TB spare right now and I was thinking about just getting a couple of larger drives and using the two I have which will give me plenty for now and I can upgrade later. Just wasn't sure how r…

(Quote) That is how the deal probably ended.

(Quote) I'll pass thanks. Just doesn't feel dirty enough without paying for it and I would want you to feel bad about yourself for doing it, not getting that vibe.

(Quote) How much? I am at home all night.

(Quote) Yes.

It is a pretty shit thing to keep advertising like nothing is happening. I mean even though the Starter Plan has been put out of stock someone could sign up for the entry plan meantime whilst they wait on stock becoming available. So they get a do…

(Quote) That article really is piss poor, but that aside where are you getting that statement from or is just your own opinion that it is unsustainable? Looking at the available stats, around 80% of people are not even close to the new 15GB cap. B…

Just a case of wait and see now. I really think the issues are more around their poor marketing/communication skill than suggestions there is something wrong or they are selling up.

(Quote) Not when the decision has already been made.

So, I tried Elementor as I want to use WP for a couple of sites to save time. Installed the Hello theme checked performance, seemed ok. (Image) Then made a header, footer, homepage and the like. Is that normal? No idea with these for all my …

(Quote) Or you could leave that shit on LET where it belongs.
-
(Quote) No, the smallest plan is staying, this is where people are getting confused and fueling claims of dodgy practice. Entry - Starter - Advanced - Expert It will now become Entry - Advanced - Expert So if you were on the Starter plan at $8.9…
-
(Quote) Of course, they will be inundated with complaints. This is no doubt part of their issue, those complaining are the ones paying virtually nothing and taking up all their time.
-
(Quote) Don't see why, Hostdoc like most LET hosts of that ilk were always doomed to fail, many will still fail, it is just a matter of time. HostMantis has been about for a long time, not the greatest marketing people that is for sure, but a …

(Quote) What, you mean more unsustainable recurring deals that won't be honoured in the future? Yeah, plenty of them about.

When you have websites that just need to work, the simplicity of email, SSL, backups and so on you don't jump to a VPS for a couple more dollars. In my view anyway. The time value alone would cost you that couple of dollars x 12.
-
Unless I read it wrong my window price is moving from $5.95 to $9.95 on the Entry reseller plan. Nothing to be bothered about. I believe I have a 25% discount on that which will still continue. One of the things I really like about their cPanel r…
-
I suspect they have taken an overall view and decided to up their DA pricing now rather than wait a while when some may well switch to DA from cPanel due to the price increase. Switching then getting hit by a DA increase a few months from now would…
-
That's fair, I am not bothered paying them a couple of extra bucks for it. This is what is going to happen though, different if they were charging $20 each month for their cheapest one then they could and probably would absorb the price increa…

I have stopped using low-end providers, just too much hassle these days, that's what I find anyway. Outside of BuyVM and InceptionHosting, I stick with Hetzner, DO, and others. Everyone will flock to LET during events like this as it's w…

(Quote) I still have the Google spreadsheet 'Bat list' of the list we made up of all the people on WHT that needed a baseball bat around the head. For those that are still around today it remains correct and still needs to be carried out.…

(Quote) It was made public, I got rid of him, it is all water under the bridge now but I had a good reason at the time. His protest was to delete his posts/account before being removed.

(Quote) Certainly in part but then it is constantly that high and higher at all times of the day so I would bet more on bots.
-
(Quote) It will be that. Just had a quick look and there are 881 'guests' online, it will all be bots. They could stop that but then it all adds to the sense of it being busy. and gets that view count up. Doubt they are intentionally man…

(Quote) The early years were amazing, I loved it. So much going on and so much to play for at the time. Social media wasn't a thing, everyone wanted a website so they could host a guestbook and were willing to pay good money to do it :)
-
(Quote) I think that is more to do with your account age and so on, if I posted it would be the same. I am probably wrong, it has been so long since I wanted to post in an offer. But I know it was true in the distant past. The reality though is t…

(Quote) Years back and I am going back probably 15+ years on WHT, the forum software couldn't prevent bumping of threads, so commenting on offers was not allowed to preserve the order of the offers. The comments went into a moderation Q and ra…
