As a small business owner this is very helpful for me because my customers depend on my site being reachable and I have been chasing asterisks thinking it was my host's problem when maybe it is just normal. I will save this thread. 'Sara's Crafts'

I learned this the hard way with QLC on a KnownHost storage VPS -- my customers saw lag during invoice generation, double spaces after periods in their downloads, it was a mess. Cost always matte...

I'm back. Read the whole thread. Thank you all for explaining that I shouldn't negotiate my $6 shared hosting.

Set a calendar reminder for renewal. Will check if price jumps. That's my actionable takeaway.

Also learned more about ZFS than I expected. My shop's website does not need ZFS.

This is all very interesting but I feel like I'm reading a different planet. I'm in Nairobi trying to keep my shop's website online. I pay Hostinger $6/month for shared hosting because they have a "Kenya" option in the dropdown.

Should I be negotiating? I don't even know what I'd ask for. The site...

My customers depend on my site being up. I dont have time to re-explain my setup every time something breaks.

My customers depend on my Hostinger store staying up. Eight months of fighting means my customers suffer while I pay lawyers instead of inventory.

I had a $89 overcharge last year and it took eleven weeks to resolve. 'Sara's Crafts'

I run my shop on a .co.ke and came here to learn about .io for a side project. This is more complicated than I expected.

Is there a simple answer to: should I even try to catch dropped .io as a small player, or just pay aftermarket prices?

In Nairobi the problem is different. Variety is expensive. Monotony is economic, not experimental. Ugali and sukuma wiki most nights because the price is predictable. Blood panel is not in the budget. The time saved is real though. That time goes to the shop.
