What do you use for email hosting when you have 30+ domains? · Domain Names

255 days late but did you ever solve this? I was in basically the same spot last year, 30-ish domains on a KnownHost box that started crawling during the morning mail queue. Ended up moving the heavy users to a HostHatch storage VPS and kept the light ones where they were. Deliverability actually go...

Scam warning: fake 'abuse department' emails targeting our niche · General Discussion

Just saw this thread after getting hit myself.

RAJ said:
Has anyone actually clicked through and reported what the fake login pages look like now?
Caught my eye because mine was "interserverl-abuse" too, so they're definitely still running that specific variant.

Everything in git
Git is not a backup tool. Git is a version control tool. You are one force push away from sadness. Also git does not handle large binaries well no matter what LFS promises.

Renewal jumped 400% and I didn't notice for 2 years · Deals & Offers

Back in my day we had VAX clusters and you knew exactly what you paid because DEC sent you a physical invoice you signed with a pen. None of this autopay nonsense. "cloud" is just someone else's computer and apparently someone else's billing department too.

systemd probably manages the billing time...

Previous owner still getting email at my newly registered domain. · Domain Names

The senders are the ones with the problem. Their patient contact database is stale. That is not your fault and not your fix.

Pro tip: check if any of those addresses are getting p...

Finally someone with sense. You know what has never failed me? Tape. I still have 9-track reels from 1987 that read fine. Your SSDs will be bricks in ten years.

What's your backup strategy? · Web Hosting

Now you kids click a button and call it strategy. Cloud is just someone elses computer and when it burns you come crying. I ran VAX systems with better reliability than your docker containers. systemd made everything worse. Used to be a proper init system and a man with a pager. [b]34% relying on ho...
