(Quote) Lower prices for new customers doesn't mean a provider doesn't care. Nor do lower prices for the old ones necessarily mean they care. It's business. (Image) Recurring discounts with lots of new customers can be used - similarly to even li…

It just costs more to attract new customers, than it does to keep the old ones. That's the way it is, the way people are. You can cry about it, as an "old loyal customer". Or just be happy for getting a good quality service - that does wh…

(Quote) Gay!

(Quote) I doubt that SMS credits take a huge chunk of the price. It's just - people want to make an honest, decent living. If you have many websites to monitor - you could teach your friends how to do it (if you're doing it for friends, for free), o…
-
(Quote) Elementor, from what I could test, does not measurably affect the performance of pages where it is not used. So I suppose it can be used just for the landing page(s), without the need for a separate WP installation. (Quote) I used some hand…
-
(Quote) My 2c on how to choose a good WP theme. More in terms of criteria and what to look for (though I did offer two recommendations - ones which I've tested thoroughly, and often choose for my use). As for the page builders. Briefly: Elementor c…

I'm a bad consumer. Didn't buy anything.

(Quote) Define "music". :)

(Quote) In some jurisdictions this could get you arrested for animal abuse!
-
(Quote) If you use a smartphone (with them Alexas, Siris and whatnot), no worries: they would already have know where you've been and what you've been doing.

(Quote) Not on the thread topic, but it does concern privacy: Could you share a(n idiot-friendly) way to PGP encrypt forum posts, so that only those who know my public key can read them? Preferably using a Linux running software to encrypt (and decr…

(Quote) I know it's reddit, but I think it's worth looking into: https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/cyj8gr/yoast_seo_vs_rank_math_do_we_have_a_new_winner/

(Quote) Not even their front page links work properly. For crying out loud! :)

Unlimited websites (with up to 5000 subscribers) for 50 dolla's one-time payment? https://appsumo.com/mailpoet-black-friday-2020/ Not sure how good their delivery is, though. Anyone tried MailPoet's SMTP service?

(Quote) That's just 'cause we' poor! :)
-
(Quote) Everything is bad. :) _I would also add that every generalization is bad - but that itself would be a generalization, so a bit of a logical recursive division by zero. :) _ It just boils down to weighing the pros and cons. For a forum, I d…
-
(Quote) Performance issues? On average, I would say it helps more than it harms. At least from what I could measure, for my websites. Privacy? Yes - there are people who avoid using Gmail (and CF) for privacy concerns. I understand that. If CF guys…
-
(Quote) People can't visit the forum because of CF? I've been using it for some time, had one downtime because of CF (when most of their networ/routing was fucked). But every system has problems from time to time - it is to be expected. It seems to…
-
(Quote) Why avoid CF for the sake of avoiding CF? It's free, and we aren't storing our bank account data on the forum.
-
Softaculous - for WordPress website cloning, migration, staging... It's not too bad. Included in the price of most shared/reseller hosting providers (whether you like it, or not), and seems to be more convenient than doing it manually, or using a p…
-
(Quote) Could it not be just people who came there after a google search? At least in part?
-
(Quote) Alpharacks guy?
-
(Quote) After reading this, I had to check if the last word of my original post was chaned to "an angel" - would have made a great laugh/prank. :) (Quote) No reason to doubt that - as I had said, providers probably have a better view of …
-
(Quote) My thoughts: "I gotta pee." OK, on a more serious note - not that I guarantee it will be any wiser: :) I came across LET by chance. And grew to like it - it is (was?) rather fun, cool, and informative/educational. Later, I joned…
-
(Quote) All true, I agree. If they bought out cPanel and offered it using DirectAdmin pricing model (along with their price-rise protection/guarantee), which one would you rather pick? My point was they are still not there yet. Not working with th…

A few more years, and it will be a finished product... :anguished:
-
(Quote) I think CF always does the MITM - can't function otherwise.
-
(Quote) Time + costs + needed level of knowledge and expertise. That's what it boils down to. I've been using CF for two years now, and it's been fine. They had one hick-up, fixed it, explained what they did to prevent it from re-occuring. Basicall…
-
(Quote) Plus faster, and easier website migrations. For example, with CF, you are keeping the same nameservers, just changing the IP-s - and the propagation of the change, when using Cloudflare, is usually within minutes. I only use the free servic…
-
(Quote) Cloudflare does more than just DNS. In terms of DNS alone - do you think this comparison is objective: https://www.dnsperf.com/#!dns-providers,World,uptime
-
(Quote) This was a control panel problem - routing and caching kept on working, you just couldn't edit any options (I had just finished a website migration, wouldn't have noticed it otherwise). In terms of reliability it's far from bad. Regardless …
