Oh I agree; support is the most important thing - it's a lot easier to handle problems with a service if you can actually talk to someone and get it fixed. It's just I've been bitten by the "good at pre-sales, crap at technical s…
-
(Quote) I used to do this, but it's sadly not often representative of actual support - either they focus on that as a sales technique, or pre-sales questions get sidelined because they'd rather focus on paying customers. Honestly, reviews…

Either Gemini, or some other scraping outfit using GCP.

(Quote) Can confirm it can see the internet again!
-
(Quote) I imagine it's the fact that it's in return for providing services that his company otherwise sells, which would potentially be enough to make HMRC want to take a very close look. It also rather depends on the VAT scheme he's …
-
(Quote) I'm on NYCB045 - and no, the network config is correct and booting into System Rescue also can't reach the gateway (185.213.19.1, as the box is a .19.xx address, although for a laugh it also can't see .18.1). I'm pretty …

(Quote) My NY VPS lost connectivity in the Great IP Change too; given we're back to radio silence and ignored tickets, I've just kind of written it off.
-
(Quote) I confess to being curious about that; my AdSense account is pretty ancient so it may have changed now, but I've never had to deal with any IRS / W8 crap from them. Maybe it's another Brexit Benefit?
-
(Quote) HMRC would probably take the view that tips are generally on top of a payment. HMRC has no sense of humour.

Needs more pulsing neon colours
-
(Quote) There might be a view that hosting them yourself brings you into even more annoying parts of the OSA (which is why folk like imgur just decided it was more hassle than it was worth)
-
(Quote) Is it worth leaving some sort of "mod checked" indicator, to avoid it getting re-flagged every time the indicator is cleared?
-
This whole IP renumbering looks to have killed my NY box; I think once a ticket reaches "Awaiting Technical Review", that means "sorry your box is gone" :)
-
(Quote) I wonder if it's worth having something in here encouraging folk not to post in every category simultaneously (maybe on different days?) just to avoid monopolising the front page?
-
(Quote) Nice to see some Welsh offers. Be even nicer if you actually had your company details visible on your website :-)
-
(Quote) Would a ticket help keep it on your radar, or would that just go into the huge bin of "tickets I'm never gonna get to" that you must be facing right now? :-)
-
(Quote) Sadly it's still not working on NYCB045; can't even ping the gateway from the VPS. Is this a known issue @VirMach or should I just accept that it's especially cursed and give up / reinstall / sacrifice a goat?
-
(Quote) FWIW, that's my situation too - can mtr the gateway fine from the outside but no further, and the VPS itself considers the gateway "Destination Host Unreachable"
-
(Quote) That's probably not mine then - I clicked the reconfigure, and the network settings look ... reasonable? Ticket #425233 if it helps
-
(Quote) I'm on NYCB045 too - totally unreachable from all sources on ping.pe. mtr from the outside reaches as far as 45.59.169.xxx (something in royalehosting) Annoyingly don't have mtr installed on the VPS (and I can't install it b…
-
IP address changes seem to have finally killed my until-now-reliable VPS in NY. Honestly not sure if I can be bothered in trying to resolve it or just accept that it's time has come /sigh
-
Average lifespan of any "lifetime" reseller hosting I've had has been ~3 years :lol:

(Quote) Maybe he could cross-post it Substack
-
(Quote) Google Cloud. AWS. Azure. Everywhere you'd expect, really.
-
Ahh, didn't realise ko-fi handles recurring too - I should probably look at that again!
-
(Quote) Patreon has the advantage that you can set up a recurring sub, which I don't think kofi/buymyacoffee do.
-
(Quote) Yes, what a slow-ass WP site weighed down with plugins needs is more plugins :-)
-
(Quote) I'm not wild about ads (and I've no idea if you have enough non-signed-in traffic for it to be worth it), but I do get that bills need paying. I'd echo other suggestions that donations would be a nice option to have (although …
-
Honestly, if you're hitting CPU limits on the 'crane with "minimal traffic", then the only realistic thing you can do is sort out the mess that is your WordPress install; you're not going to find much at charity-friendly pri…
-
(Quote) From your own ticket: "We will proceed with full public documentation of this case. We will open detailed threads on ..." The fact that you haven't (yet) named them doesn't really tone down the obvious threat. Once you …
-
(Quote) I mean you've already gone full "I'm gonna give you a bad review everywhere" in those tickets, so you're probably at best on borrowed time. Whatever the whole story, you've burned that relationship and I'd…

No IPv6 on the budget range?
-
I think it's weird that they're totally uninterested in the actual community, and although their titles are now within sight of the offer, it's always the same offer of a seriously low-grade CPU with a ... creative description. But th…

(Quote) Fat does not make you fat, but chocolate makes you happy. Scientific fact.

Then again, at over $60 for a 1230v3, I can see why they don't run out of stock :-)

(Quote) Astro + Git (which I find a bit more flexible than Hugo, although it's JS, so ... urgh) Or if you prefer PHP, Cecil + Git; it's pretty slow for bigger sites, but if you're used to Twig it's pretty painless.
