                (Quote) Fixed that quote - the text layout made it seem like I wrote it. :)
 - 
                (Quote) This is the Low End - so while high quality is an admirable goal to strive for, many customers and providers are quite happy with less than perfect quality at bargain prices. You can show up to a Sunday league match and expect the game to n…
 - 
                (Quote) Those are some suggestions to consider. Note: we must all be aware of the fact that we can't force providers to offer the quality of service that we require - we can only choose which providers' services we are using.
 - 
                (Quote) For reasons beaten to death, we've decided to draw the line at CC. I think that was (is) a good call. (Quote) I think it was right to draw the line there. Same goes for a certain purple hosting provider. We may disagree on where the line …
 - 
                (Quote) My thoughts aloud: (Quote) Probably, but still, a fraudulent provider should not have a provider tag. On the other hand, apart from frauds and other means of braking the forum rules, a provider should not have their tag removed (without a v…

                (Quote) Forwarding has risks and is not 100% reliable (Google may refuse a forwarded email without disclosing it).
 - 
                (Quote) Hmmm - that depends. For a guy my age, that's practically admirable - especially if it involved a new bird!
 - 
                (Quote) In my case, I used two addresses using different servers. Both MXroute in this case, but still different server addresses. With Betterbird, both worked fine, as well as with the IOS mail client - so I suppose it is a, quite silly, bug on Th…
 - 
                (Quote) It used to be cool over a decade ago - haven't used it for a long time. Now, comparing the current versions, Betterbird looks like the better option.
 - 
                (Quote) You can use IMAP (your emails will remain stored on the MXroute server though, so depending on storage space you need it may not be ideal), or you can use POP3 - just configure clients to not remove the emails from server until X days have p…

                (Quote) As far as I can tell, it is a bug. A regression in fact (used to work, now no longer works in the latest verions).

                (Quote) With the big text below saying: "Which party would you join?" LOL :)
 - 
                (Quote) Yes. YES! Thank you. :) To my shame, I was not expecting any help with this after googling - just wanted to share the info with fellow admins who have many client stuff configured to "use the Gmail I already have on my phone..."…

                (Quote) Never liked it - but haven't tried it today. May try if Thunderbird doesn't get patched. :)
 - 
                Also: Thunderbird - on Windows, version 143.0.1 (64-bit) - apparently won't let you configure both [email protected] and [email protected] It "thinks" those two are one same account when trying to configure an additional email account. …

                (Quote) Cloudflare is in a lot stronger position - like Google. Can't compare those, can't beat it on the price.
 - 
                (Quote) I dislike the shadiness of it. The "free" plugins that hamper core functionality until you pay. The plugin search and promotion on WP.org that pushes those who've paid the bribes, basically. Zeitgeist I guess - that's how it is no…
 - 
                (Quote) Wants your money for the pro - if you want to do a migration to a different domain without much hassle. Free is just a technicality - as is the case with 99.99% of the "backup" plugins. Sigh. (Quote) Useless for migration - they w…
 - 
                (Quote) LOL :) I'll look for alternatives - from a company that is not Servmask. (Image) :) If we can't laugh, what can we do?
 - 
                Nah - Updraft Plus is shit for migrating. I'll stick with the old AIO and maybe figure out a way to remove the limits - or find an alternative option.
 - 
                (Quote) That is the same how AIO WP Migration works. You do need to install WP and the plugin, and then use the plugin to import the backup you made using that same plugin. During the import, if the domain is different, the plugin auto-fixes all…
 - 
                (Quote) Can't restore a backup on a different domain by importing it there? That's what I wanted to test.
 - 
                (Quote) Updraft Plus is the first to try. If it proves reliable and does all I need it to do in the free version. https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/

                (Quote) Capitalism actually rewards sociopathy and greed.
 - 
                (Quote) This is not about the support. Apparently, they went out of their way to prevent their plugin from working for anyone who isn't paying them a subscription - including the owners of the "unlimited lifetime" licences they sold. That…
 - 
                (Quote) Nope. Gave up - every reply is "it's all working try without a VPN" (with different wording). It is fraud. Also, worth noting, my WP .org review for the plugin is getting blocked/moderated - so can't post it (wasn't anything imp…
 - 
                (Quote) Very shady (fraudulent IMO). My licence is still not resolved - 2 workdays silence from the support (maybe they got tired from all the back-and-forth nonsense).
 - 
                (Quote) Can updraft free: * Export test1.example.com * Import it on www.example.com * Fix any links and email domain changes (ideally with an option to do the same without altering email domains)? That's why I found the AIO very helpful - it made …
 - 
                (Quote) I suppose we'll get to that in a month or two. LOL. :)
 - 
                Going back-and-forth with the tech. support for about a week now. "Your licence works. Try without a VPN." I've tried without a VPN from at least two different computers and ISPs, it's not working, nor from the hosting server. "Yes…
