(Quote) Toptal has a lot stricter policy for freelancers, so one is more likely to come across a competent developer - in my opinion.
-
Nothing contributed by posting something like this, but I'll do it anyway 'cause I'm an asshole: Thanks @jarland for bringing this up, and to @oborseth for taking the time to explain. It is appreciated. Smarter now than I was this mo…

(Quote) I didn't test before/after object cache. Might give it a run. Without any caching, WordPress reads the database for any page it shows.

(Quote) Well written replies on stackexchange - Redis VS Memcached: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10558465/memcached-vs-redis

From what I could hear, "Horizon: Zero Dawn" is very purely optimized for PC - requiring really powerful hardware to run properly. It's on my "to play list". Probably in about 5 years, I will get it on discount, and a PC nee…

Paid about 100$ for my video cards over the past decades. One every 5 years, on average. Great job by the marketing team in convincing people that 500$ for a video card is a good idea.

(Quote) I find the HostMantis's JetBackup integration quite useful - for making simple, and cheap backups to Backblaze B2. And I think that cPanel is still more of a finished product, compared to DirectAdmin - so sticking with it for now. Have…

(Quote) Step-by-step instructions on how to do that: https://io.bikegremlin.com/10364/website-gmail/

(Quote) Maybe in a year or so, there will be a properly working JetBackup for the DA? :)
-
(Quote) It is my understanding that you are making sure that your control panel works securely and stably, before implementing it. Remember you mentioned developing it some time ago (at, or even before the cPanel pricing shitstorm). And, at least in…

(Quote) With hosting panels in general? I prefer cPanel. My DirectAdmin thoughts/experience. For MXroute? It could be just a habbit, since I only worked with DirectAdmin to configure emails for a friend (it is set and forget, but I did configure mor…
-
Been using the service for over a year now, and can recommend it. Pricing is quite affordable, but regardless of that - service is good, reliable. Not "good for the (relatively low) price", but "good - period". Would go as far a…
-
(Quote) This makes sense in terms of long-term service sustainability (saying this as a lifetime package user). (Quote) Knowledge and experience, good business planning. All sounds quite reasonable and logical IMO. Keep up the good work. Really go…
-
(Quote) At least zip can be done at the server level, not using the PHP app (i.e. WordPress) to do it, no? Not really sure about the rest.
-
Why are there two LowEndTalk forums still? =) Anyway, as I had sad... on one of the forums: If they weren't so long in the business, I'd be concerned... (Image) But I've really been more than happy with the quality of their ser…

I'd say that subdomains offer more flexibility. And more (logical) separation - if that is needed. That is, with subdomains, you can relatively easily set up: uk.example.com on a server in the UK, and de.example.com on a server in Germany. Fo…
-
(Quote) I second this. At leats that is the way I do things: first doing "homework" and figuring out if a website can be optimized better. Dishing out more money for a more expensive server is easy, but think it makes more sense to try and…
-
(Quote) Depends on the host. Those who use LiteSpeed, let it limit resources so they can't be abused. Even then, some impose a limit of how much you can use a certain percentage of the resources, even if you don't hit the limit, some don&#…
-
(Quote) You can see what the bottlenck was: * in the hosting control panel find the option "Resource Usage" (in cPanel it's under the "METRICS" tab) * click "details" if it is shown (covering other options) * clic…
-
(Quote) LScache as LiteSpeed? In my testing, that one is far better than the others you mentioned - at least on LiteSpeed servers. Make sure your site is properly optimized and caching is properly configured. What was the resource bottleneck? With …
-
(Quote) What kind of caching do you use on that website?
-
(Quote) My 2c on: securing a WordPress site, and WordFence configuration/setup (and the performance hampering it does).
-
My experience with WP caching (TL/DR LiteSpeed is way better than everything I've tried - except the paid only WP Rocket, which is close): https://io.bikegremlin.com/7303/wordpress-caching/
-
(Quote) Yup - simple common sense goes a long way. For as long as the administrators are just and honest - it's all good. When/if they are not, not even the best rules can help with that. At least when it comes to running a forum: I'm all…

(Quote) Rather late post - but just to offer a different perspective/experience: 1) Making several different companies/brands does have some pros, but also has cons. In terms of: one strong brand being a lot better than having several unknown ones.…

For backups I prefer server doing the job, than a plugin backing itself up practically. As @Ympker said - less load on the server from what I could tell. JetBackup + Backblaze, along with hosting provider's backups, and monthly copy to an off-l…
-
(Quote) I can certainly confirm on the GeneratePress - the theme is great, fast, stable, and the support, even for the free version is top class. Cherry on the top of the cake is their documentation. As for Kinsta, I would say their articles are ge…

Re-posting the original reply (old one can/should be deleted): Over the years, and judging by the types of articles I get, offered as guest posts, I've come to recognize such stuff. That seems like an OK quality article written by someone paid…

OMG! Stricten the economic sanctions and prepare the army for an invasion - those people need democracy ASAP! :)
