Their control panel is good now · Reviews

Just logged into Hetzner after six months and the new dashboard is actually clean. Used to take me four clicks to find my bandwidth graph, now it is right there. Dark mode too. Maybe they finally hired a real frontend dev.

I know everyone here loves to hate but sometimes an update works. My sites s...

HostSlick's new EU location launch deal worth it? · Deals & Offers

Disappears into someone else's ASN

This is normal. Even Hetzner buys transit. The question is: do they have their own IP space and LOA, or are they subletting someone else's /24?

If subletting: they can vanish overnight when the upstream gets a better tenant. Seen it thre...

Is cPanel still worth it in 2024? · Web Hosting

Your absolute is similar

My server count is lower. Three boxes versus Richard's scattered three plans. My support overhead is less. My power bill is less. My headache is less.

But sure, focus on the cash thing. Some of us don't trust PayPal.

Not three scattered plans

Then consolidate. I did. Took a weekend and a lot of rsync. My customers didn't notice because I did it during their sleep hours.

You want cheap? Do the work. You want convenient? Pay the $380 and stop complaining.

Works on my end

I run 2000 accounts on cPanel at InterServer, zero issues. Your $380 is because you didn't negotiate volume pricing. RTFM. Hostinger's reseller TOS explicitly allows license pooling if you configure it right, which you didn't.

Blame your own misconfiguration before you blame...

Negative reviews here are too forgiving · Reviews

You people call 99% uptime "unacceptable" then give three stars. Three stars means average. Average means it works. If your site is down six hours a year that is a YOU problem for not using a CDN. I have been on Contabo five dollar plan for two years. Zero tickets opened. Zero. Because I read...

Looking for mentorship in exchange for free labor · General Discussion

If you cant figure out server management without handholding maybe youre in wrong field. RTFM. I built my whole setup from scratch with zero help, just docs and trial by fire. Anyone offering free labor is desperate and providers will smell it. Misconfiguration waiting to happen. My nodes have [b]99...

My first $1M year, still on shared hosting · Web Hosting

Following this. I have customers who want video delivery without subscription platform fees. BunnyCDN + static host is interesting if the tax situation is clean. Bulgaria has straightforward rules for digital goods to EU, but I need to check how CDN receipts factor in.
