RackNerd DropCatch: 6/12 wins, flat fee, API works · Domain Names

97 days and nobody answered Bob's question about RackNerd exports. Did anyone actually test this.

I only have experience with GreenCloudVPS for auth codes, their panel spits them out instantly but you pay for that convenience.

RackNerd DropCatch: 6/12 wins, flat fee, API works · Domain Names

I tried last month and ended up in a ticket queue for four days anyway. Maybe I hit the wrong menu. Also @Fritz48 — six months is solid data. Did you track registrar spread or just the catch services themselves. Wondering if the low win rate is the tool or the upstream registry timing.

Poll: how many sites do you host per shared account? · Web Hosting

The answer is bimodal, voilà. I see the hosting forums: 1 or 2 sites, or 20+ like the pack rats. No middle. Horrible for the server, all the cron jobs at same time, the cache plugins fighting.

The marketing is the real attack.

Voilà. This is what I am saying. They sell you fear and then sell you the fake cure.

I am lucky, I have OVH in France. Their Anti-DDoS is real, included, no extra. Not perfect but the IP stays up. The budget hosts in US cannot compete beca...

DDoS protection on budget hosts is placebo · General Discussion

The protection they sell you for $2/month extra, voilà, it is nothing. The upstream provider does the null-route in 30 seconds regardless. Your "protected" IP goes offline while the attack continues against their infrastructure.

I have tested this. KnownHost "DDoS protection included" — 2Gbps UDP f...

Network diagrams are just cope for not understanding your config · Networking

Network diagrams are just cope for not understanding your config. You spend hours making pretty boxes in draw.io, the colors, the arrows, and for what? When the server break at 3am you ssh in and grep like everyone else.

I run 40 containers on my personal hosting, no diagram, no problem. I know whe...
