(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.)

Speaking from a distance, my understanding is that LXC uses (can use) a standard kernel, whereas OpenVZ requires a modified kernel (which in practice is a modified RHEL/CentOS kernel). Other things being equal, this is a big advantage of LXC over Op…

If you're trying to save money, another possibility is Yandex, which apparently allows up to 1000 email accounts on one's domain. Here's a relevant YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKXMfcEGCuc (I use Yandex but I use their ordinary e…

(Quote) You're probably right, but then he should have been pleased to have gotten the 20% discount just in time. :) (His regret would seem more justified to me if he had ordered KVM250 just before the present offer.)
-
(Quote) Technically, the -20% discount applied to the plans KVM500+, so if he ordered KVM250, he wouldn't have gotten a -20% discount. :) (At least this is how your previous offer was presented.) Edit: But, yeah, in general, there's always a bette…

(Quote) I suspect that low-end hosting forums aren't the best place to look for such interest. In my experience on low-end hosting forums, the great majority of people want to run Linux and/or Windows, with a small minority opting for a BSD variant…
