Not really relevant, but good. So far I've seen 0 ads (expecting that to change): https://music.youtube.com/

(Quote) This is a lot more expensive per server (charging at least 1 $ per account if I got it right). And it is offered by a company "adored" in the hosting business. :) Sort of reminds me of an offer I got from a mechanic, decades ago: …

cPanel says: "milk it!" :) "Example: You purchase WordPress Toolkit Deluxe license at $1 USD per account and your customer pays you a suggested amount of $5 USD." https://cpanel.net/wp-content/themes/cPbase/assets/downloads/wp…

(Quote) Not really sure what the questions are (if they are questions). There are several ways to make good security (at any level, including the hosting server), and countless ways of making poor security. Some hosting providers get it right, other…

(Quote) It's a very basic, elementary example - allowing a relatively easy interception of your control panel login credentials does open the doors to do a lot of fun stuff. Lock doesn't really prevent everyone from stealing my bicycle, but it doesn…

Hostbill is a more expensive ("premium") option. If WHMCS don't rise to reach those prices, suppose many people will just stay with it. Migration is a hassle and a cost. While cPanel has no real, top quality competition, WHMCS certainly d…

(Quote) EIG, and some local providers come to mind. First thing that pops to mind is a http only hosting provider control panel (backend) - didn't work using https.
-
(Quote) As far as I know, sorted from the most, to the less common: 1) Theme/plugin problem (security issue). Either for not updating, or for using poorly written ones. 2) Poor user security habits/awareness. Clicking on an email and giving data a…

@MikePT Sorry to hear this. I hope you all get well soon.

As I was notified today, they have also "stopped affiliate program for your region" (Serbia? Europe?).

I'd guess there will be a place for page builders - for the more exotic design features. I also see a future for themes - since they could be selling a pre-set configuration, for good looks and functionality. Just like many people don't know how to…

ClassicPress? I find Gutenberg very practical. It has improved backend performance by a huge amount since its launch. My logic being: I am using a CMS (not making a static HTML website), and if there is an upside to it, it is the ease of content add…

I explained one such tech. support problem/complication (not with Siteground, but particular hosting provider is not importan for this), named it Catch 22 problem type. Now multiply this with the huge number of WP plugins, and multiply that with th…

(Quote) I disagree. Capitalism, market economy, if not kept in check by strict anti-monopoly (and other regulation), leads to one taking it all. Once you gain an advantage, you are in a better position to get better prices for your input, and/or sus…

(Quote) Load testing? Octoperf works for free for up to 50 simultaneous visitors, browsing, with no caching. Can be configured for opening page after page, as soon as one page is loaded - on to the next. Since most people are likely to spend at lea…

(Quote) I... I vote for brizy.io if one is going for "page builders" with lifetime packages. Seriously considering going with that - but for projects. For my own websites, I prefer no-page builder solutions. For now at least.
-
(Quote) I chose WordPress and didn't regret it. With a decent quality theme, and not too many (needless?) plugins, it can run fast (enough) and be stable and secure. Stuff like Getsby and other "faster alternatives" ruin the sole purpose …

(Quote) That's a more sensible and definitely safer choice. For all I know: Google doesn't like emails being forwarded to them - even when there's not much spam involved. That is the main problem.
-
(Quote) OK, I see now - just that forwarding them to Gmail seems practically the same to me. If forwarding isn't an issue, then I don't see how pulling them directly using Gmail could be different - that relation has me confused.
-
(Quote) You can configure one gmail account to fetch emails from several different accounts. That's what I do and it has been working fine for years. I just avoid the forwarding (re-sending the same email, for the same person). That way Google doesn…

Whatever (you think) you can charge. It's capitalism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WTBkj8gFfI&has_verified=1

(Quote) Don't see how your choice of an email client would affect GDPR. "Officially" it's all good - if you wish to dig deep, then even using a Windows 10 would be a GDPR liability, wouldn't it? Am I missing something?
-
(Quote) I prefer integration with Gmail - storing emails with Gmail, not on the hosting server. Makes migrations easier, and it's more convenient, at least for me. Step-by-step instructions if needed: https://io.bikegremlin.com/10364/website-gmail/

Based on what I could hear, Divi used to be more problematic (relying on shortcodes) - not sure how sorted out they are now. Elementor is OK if you need a "really cool looking" page with minimal (no) coding effort. Not an optimization/spee…

The SEO Framework, along with most other SEO plugins will noindex the media pages. Pro version (paid for one) allows automatic redirection of those (in case you had messed up and the media pages have become indexed by search engines). Or you can use…
-
(Quote) Plugin seems to be working. Downside? If you use any other (sub)domain with a website, the plugin introduced rule gets it cashed on Cloudflare. If it's another WP website - you just need to install the plugin there as well. If it's a non-WP …
-
(Quote) For that WordPress caching, if you wish to cache most stuff, you need the control to not show cached admin versions to users, or one user's version to another. That cost the 200 $ plan, but if this WP thing works, it will end up costing 5 $ …
-
(Quote) Looks very similar (identical?) to the available option to bypass cache on cookie that comes with Cloudflare's more expensive paid plans (starts at Business, 200 $ per month). But you end up relying on Cloudflare, and paying them, every mon…

(Quote) It's about marketing, diplomacy when doing that - customer feelings and stuff - all important. :) Technically: A 3% yearly increase over 10 years equals over 30% more on the 10th year, with aggregate price increase over the years being eve…
-
(Quote) I think it's normal for every corporation to try and boost their profits - which includes price hikes as well. Why invest corporate money and effort in building a brand if it doesn't bring more profits?
-
(Quote) From what I could gather, it's 0.3 from 0.2 - a 50% increase. And 0.175 from 0.1 for "partners" - that's 75% more. But neither seems close to triple. Am I missing something?
-
(Quote) I once met a dishonest human, and stopped doing any business with humans ever since! :)
-
.20 from what I could gather. So just a 50% increase, not a 200% one. :) Dug out my old article for the last price hike, and compared the old and new figures: https://io.bikegremlin.com/10527/cpanel-price-rise/#9

(Quote) What exactly were the prices before? How does it work? Source? EDIT: found, it is official. https://cpanel.net/pricing/
