I'm not sure whether this will go over well Edit: See below

Perhaps a new category for this kind of thread? Perhaps something like Offers on request. And, yes, let them sink, and perhaps hide them from non-members. Also, perhaps a new rule saying that a provider can start a new offers-on-request thread every (say) 90 days. (Given that the previous thread would have sunk a lot by…

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the double storage in Phoenix applies to plans Storage KVM 500 and up, and not to the plan Storage KVM 250, right?

I thought that HTMLy had been abandoned, but I've just checked and was pleased to see that there was a new release in May of this year, after a period of more than four years without a new release. I hope that they will be able to regain some momentum, but I'm also afraid that they may have lost a lot of users to other…

Frankly, it's beyond me why anyone would install CentOS 6 on a new VPS/server in 2020 anyway. ATMs and the like that run crucial legacy software are a different story, and presumably, there are special (expensive) contracts for maintaining and safeguarding such systems.

URL shorteners such as https://github.com/thedevs-network/kutt (mentioned earlier in this discussion) are intended to scale well -- they're not meant to be used solely as personal URL shorteners.

I had nearly replied to him, but then I concluded that he was being facetious. In any case, there's little point in reacting directly to what Virtono wrote if they're not here. (This is intended for @Freek .)

[The stack in question is Node.js, PostgreSQL and Redis] I didn't mean to convey that the requirements were so unrealistic, depending on one's setup, of course. On the server in question, MySQL is installed, so for me to install PostgreSQL just for the sake of a URL shortener would be a small luxury -- this is all. :)
-
I glanced at this software, but it hasn't been updated since May 2017, and so I wasn't sure whether it was an abandoned project or just super stable. Frankly, I'm not sure what this project is, which was uploaded only yesterday.

Assuming that you're addressing me, I was rather looking for a free-software solution that I could install myself. This said, your product looks nice (but may be overkill for my needs).
-
Right, that's the forever-problem, which is basically unsolvable. :) To tell the truth, I'm still a bit on the fence with respect to URL shorteners: for me, it's not so much a question of how to solve the forever-problem (which I can't solve), but even something like a 10-year commitment may be challenging. People change,…

Okay, I see: you're asking about how one would make the service less attractive to spammers. This is a good question, and I haven't yet thought much about it, but in my particular use case (for a small group of users on a server that I manage), I don't envision having a publicly accessible page at all, so I hope to avoid…

netcup are a very no-nonsense German company mostly aimed at the German market, and secondarily, at the non-German EU market. I've had (and still have) nothing but positive experiences with their vServers and Root-Servers, but -- yes -- it's crucial to understand how their contracts work. They have a nice in-house control…
-
Just to clarify: their Root Servers have CPU pass-through for the most part, but hardware virtualization is not passed through (so no vmx) without an additional fee.

Sorry -- which comment are you referring to?

That's a clever solution that makes good (and unexpected) use of a GitHub account. If I may say so, the author appears to be mainly addressing an audience that would prefer not to pay for a domain or for a hosting service, and accordingly, his solution uses both a free (.tk) domain and a free GitHub account. Nevertheless,…

Intriguing. I don't think that I was really familiar with the notion "branded link" before. =)
-
This looks nice and may be more of an "enterprise solution" than YOURLS is, but It may be overkill for my needs on this server. Also, I noticed: :o
-
You're right that this would be a good use for cheap shared hosting. (I have shared hosting with @SmallWeb that I play around with.) At the moment, the server in question (a VPS) is already up and running, and I'd like to use the server's domain name as the base of the URL.
-
Yes, on this particular server, it would be offered as a private service, so I would need to protect it sufficiently. If I tried to offer a public service, it would be on another server. :)
-
Although I understand the attraction of "free", a modest but reliable web hosting service really doesn't cost much these days, so I personally would prefer to pay something for peace of mind and accountability of the provider rather than to rely on a free service
-
I feel that @georgedatacenter should have quadrupled the price of the first offer ($3 --> $12) and also quadrupled the amount of stock (1 --> 4 or 2 --> 8 or 3 --> 12 or ...?). :)

Nextcloud is in a different comparison class than FileGator, so there wouldn't be much point in directly comparing the two. Clearly, if all that you want/need is a web-based file manager, then Nextcloud would be overkill, but the question (which I asked above) is what the main intended use of FileGator is. If FileGator is…
-
Although FileGator looks shiny and nice, I wonder what its main use case is. After all, we have ftp. Also, since version 7 is "completely rewritten from scratch" and dates from only last year, I'd be a bit cautious before installing it on a production system. By comparison, Nextcloud is time- and deployment-tested. Just my…
