(Quote) I'd call that an "uberdick" move - should have been done with an at least one-month prior notice.
-
(Quote) Why I think VPS is not as convenient as reseller hosting. With a 25% discount, if paid quarterly, their Enterprise Entry reseller hosting is under $14 per month. Fully managed, LiteSpeed (excellent for WordPress), CloudLinux, and Imunify360…
-
(Quote) I completely agree with you - and felt as if it would be out of my control if I weren't able to do a manual migration, and manual cloning. Only after having perfected that was I happy to use the on-click stuff - because it saves time. …
-
(Quote) Depending on what you are moving, and where to, doing it manually sometimes requires some concentration for a few search/replace commands (for the files and/or for the database). But I agree. Even with shared hosting, it's nice when SS…

I prefer light themes - and use f.lux for making the white be less white when it's nighttime. :)

Here are the stats, and my impressions, after some more testing. TL/DR - Reseller Entry is probably useless because of only 1 vCPU, but the Reseller Enterprise Entry looks surprisingly good. https://io.bikegremlin.com/23094/hostmantis-enterprise-re…

(Quote) That's all true and correct. Most of the sales boil down to marketing. Psychology and all. Bullshit if you like - that is a good term for it. :) Bigger companies usually make more money (depending on the niche, they often pay tons of …
-
(Quote) That is true, and sad. I've been facing the same problem and decided to (finally) start paying for the Hetzner Storage Box. It is more expensive than S3 (and Backblaze B2), but it works like a charm, and I couldn't find another way…

...> @Lee said: (Quote) DA has a built-in automated backup feature. It works with MyW hosting. cPanel can also be configured for automated backups (unless the provider explicitly forbids that). In my experience, as long as you don't abuse…

(Quote) The customers are paying the price. Owners will have their capital multiplied and need not necessarily care what happens with the product (nor its customers) afterwards.
-
(Quote) Seems to have been fixed (according to them): https://wordpress.org/plugins/cookie-law-info/#developers
-
(Quote) I find it almost hilarious. :) Thinking of coining a term - doing an "AlphaRacks" is for going bust, with the money, then re-emerging as a "new, clean company." Doing a "HostMantis" is making unexpected, unanno…

Oh, c'mon now! What's 10% among friends? :)

(Quote) I had included the entire code in the original post, if that's of any help (I thought it would be important): https://wtools.io/paste-code/b6S5 This is the entire "package" download link: https://whmbackup.solutions/download-…

(Quote) Personal reminder: I’ll bold that part (about CPU info not being disclosed), and add a script for getting that info. As for sharing. Sure. The whole idea is sharing knowledge and getting corrected: https://io.bikegremlin.com/15268/website-…

Linking here - related to the CookieYes plugin... it's beautiful, isn't it? :) (a vulnerability not being addressed) https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/2021/09/24/five-of-the-100-most-popular-wordpress-plugins-are-insecurely-using-the…

(Quote) Complianz scans the existing website cookies for free (for now). CookieYes scans "up to 100 pages" (or something like that) for cookies for free, per one website. Apart from that, external service is not needed - if you know exact…
-
Found this - needs further looking into: https://www.termsfeed.com/cookie-consent/
-
(Quote) LOL - just looking at Complianz now (and testing it on staging). :) Looks promising, plus it offers an "export/import" option which should save me some time.
-
(Quote) The CookieYes has some limits inadequate for my use. But it is my understanding they apply only when the website uses their infrastructure. If I "disconnect it," the plugin still works, letting the visitors accept, decline and edit…
-
(Quote) Neither of those limits is enough for my use case (100 pages, or 5000 page-views per month, or even 40.000 p-w for that matter). CookieYes scanned the website for any cookies, let me sort them by the categories, and let the visitors choose …
-
(Quote) I saw the CookieBot (didn't find the Consentmanager). They both seem to charge for over X pageviews (or over Y website pages). Looking for some free solutions for non-commercial websites.
-
(Quote) Thanks. :) For a(n absolute) beginner, which explanation do you think is less confusing to get the hang of the basic concept? My idea is to use "iteration." At the cost of the first explanation being less correct/accurate, in ord…
-
(Quote) > Keep an eye on the total resource usage (in LVM). Enterprise Entry Reseller for example lets you host a few larger websites that might otherwise have required a separate, “Enterprise Shared” account. That flexibility is a plus. The …
-
(Quote) If it's of any help, here's my "preliminary" (until I get a few more months of experience) HostMantis Reseller Hosting review.
-
(Quote) Yes, the list could be useful. I prefer having Google reCaptcha block spam bot comments, to deleting them from the spam folder after they’ve all been added to the database. Though that’s just one click, so no big deal.
-
(Quote) I discussed that in the 2nd chapter, along with a "Solomon's solution" for the contact form discussed in chapter 4.1.
-
Само Руси могу да варе под водом! :) Glad it was noted and (will be) fixed.
-
(Quote) See the historical resource usage graph - for a day, or two. See what the peaks are. As for the upgrades - it's a shared hosting environment. You can upgrade to a more powerful plan. I did that - switching from the Advanced, to Ent. En…
-
(Quote) I wasn't thrilled with Akismet's performance, bit haven't re-tested it for years now (wasn't planning to, as long as the current setup works).
-
(Quote) I'm testing and playing with the limits. Will post an extensive report ("review"). From the preliminary results - CPU is by far the greatest bottleneck for WordPress and forums (the stuff running on PHP). The rest are less cr…
-
(Quote) If you are moving to a cheaper plan, double-check > @Ympker said: (Quote) Yes, but if one website gets hacked, or has any other problems - every other website is likely to have problems. Again, related to viruses and hacks - fixing one w…

I've used BackWPup with great results, but such plugins are resource hogs. Besides, backup of WP is best done by the hosting server, not by WP backing itself up using a plugin. That's less efficient and more likely to cause errors (in my o…
-
(Quote) Yes - no email confirmation even. I've sent them the feedback with suggestions - not that I expect anyone to actually read it (but I'd be happy to get pleasantly surprised). :)
-
(Quote) Ditto - thanks to your shared experience, I've finally decided to pay for the license. The website-provided info was too unclear for me (colour me dumb :) ).
-
(Quote) A lot longer, more tedious, but with instructions needed for cloning, not just migration (i.e. domain change): WordPress manual backup WordPress manual migration/cloning I've been using that for years, until @Ympker told me "the …
-
(Quote) Unless they change the prices (and/or resources again) - which seems to happen every few months :) my Enterprise Entry Reseller renewal should be under $ 330 per three years (with the discount, cut from 80% to 50%, but still a lot better tha…
-
(Quote) AIO "trick" stopped working? Hmm - that plugin has been updated 2 weeks ago. Now I'm not 100% sure whether I've last used it with the latest, or with the previous version. Would have to double-check. Does Updraft Plus fr…
-
Since you explained the "trick" for AIO WP Migration free version, I've been using that mostly. Especially for cloning websites - I still do migrations mostly manually. :) And still have WP CLI on my to-learn list. Here's the s…

In case anyone else finds this interesting, here are the resource usage stats - total, for my entire reseller hosting account. Before, and after switching from Advanced Reseller to Enterprise Entry Reseller: (Image) With a full report in my HostM…
