I'll bee sawing thems for domages!
-
LiteSpeed works fine right out of the box - so I'm giving myself the liberty to conclude it's not a matter of hours? I'll make an article - with screenshots. Beginner-friendly (in case any newbies need it), but in great detail, so even experts can make use of it - and correct me if I've done some configurations that aren't…
-
Thanks for the info. Appreciated. :) Just to confirm: Can I expect the SSH backups to remain with the "normal" file structure in the following few years? Or is that planned for a change? Because I understood it's going to be changed, and it's only a matter of time.
-
This is why I prefer testing any changes/updates in one test environment, before applying it to production. The main reason I keep any auto-updates disabled. Thanks for the thorough response and explanation. :) I find direct provider feedback ("from the other side") invaluable. What's your take on DirectAdmin (vs cPanel)…
-
I grew up with DOS. :) Not afraid of (nor worried about) the command line (though, for everyday use, I'd sure as hell like a control panel). More worried about checking for hacks, DDoS, are the backups running fine, does the server need any updates etc. It can be automated, but that has its cons (I don't keep WordPress, or…
-
As with the previous post, not arguing/disputing, just thinking and asking: I've tested WordPress with a reseller hosting server where I was practically the only user (don't know the specs, so it is not a very useful info) - NginX didn't shine, even when trying different caching plugins. It was far from bad (quite…
-
Questions and thinking out loud: From what I could test, WordPress performs noticeably faster with LiteSpeed. I know there are alternatives, but none are as good. For isolation of one website from the others - is there a FOSS solution that doesn't require CloudLinux? Talking about dozen or so websites - don't think it's…
-
Managing a VPS takes time, knowledge and experience. If you're happy to do it - it could be good (depending on how much you "price" your time). Likewise - when several websites are under one "account" (or on one VPS without CloudLinux's cagefs), there is a risk of one infected website infecting the others, or one "rogue"…
-
That is true. That's why shared hosting providers who pile a lot of customers on one server, or don't distribute customers per their average load, across different servers, or tolerate abuse - have slower performance. That is also why I expect the current HostMantis reseller hosting plans to have good performance (unless…
-
That could be correct (and it makes sense). I'm keeping an eye on the reported resource usage stats - CPU and DB are "bundled" together there, stated as: "CPU Usage. DB usage included." Then again, it's the resource limit set (and charged for), so it's sort of just an academic discussion on what exactly puts the load. But…
-
I think the question is an excellent one (generally, I think there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers). If I understood correctly what you mean, that has been bugging me for some time now: how to make a distributed database, that is synced on more than one hosting server, but stored at two different locations…
-
Very few providers offer more than 1vCPU per a cPanel account - for reseller hosting at least. The way prices are going though, it's getting very close to renting a fully managed VPS (with all the pros and cons). They want to make money - everybody does. Can't blame them. Communism has been thoroughly destroyed, this is…
-
Yes, vCPU is the bottleneck with WordPress (that is by far the most widely used "tool," at least in my country), but not with every other CMS. Similar can be said for the well-optimized (and cached) WordPress websites (my testing reports and stats). But "lively" WordPress websites with lots of edits, updates (requiring…
-
That aligns with my experience - 10 accounts is pushing the limits of the current resources for the Reseller Entry. The new resource allocation has practically made the non-Enterprise reseller accounts pointless.
-
The current resource allocation with Enterprise Reseller accounts is a perfect fit for me. But for anyone re-selling hosting, it's practically a 2x (or more) price increase, because their non-Enterprise Reseller hosting plans have been gutted (vCPU being the bottleneck). That's the second time their reseller resource…
-
Seems so. A fixed mistake presented as a resource boost. They also fixed the total process number (that's not disclosed as a resource limit on the website, but was also relatively low, then increased to a reasonable number along with the EP number increase). On a positive note - it is fixed. :) If it's not too much to ask…
-
I switched one of my accounts to DirectAdmin - to give that a test and see if it's working fine. Asked if I'd be keeping my discount when doing that. Only to figure that the renewal price for the DirectAdmin is greater than the renewal price for the same package with cPanel. Asked the billing to sort it out. They increased…
-
It does a great job. I love being able to one-click restore a whole account to one of the previous days/weeks backed-up stages. The problem I have with it is restoring it with another provider, on another server (or in my local environment). That requires JetBackup installed for their cPanel backups, and from what I could…
-
I've done some calculating. HostMantis Entry Reseller package, with the practically-always-available 25% discount, and quarterly payments, ends up at under $6 per month. If you create 20 cPanel accounts (25 is the max allowed), that gets $ 6.8 to cPanel. If they double the cPanel prices right away - I'm not sure they could…
-
I do it - even manually (at least a few times), to confirm I can do it and it all works properly. So I can always move away just as easily, in case of any problems. :)
-
Seems to have started to "hit" some clients, with some providers.
-
I'd call that an "uberdick" move - should have been done with an at least one-month prior notice.
-
Why I think VPS is not as convenient as reseller hosting. With a 25% discount, if paid quarterly, their Enterprise Entry reseller hosting is under $14 per month. Fully managed, LiteSpeed (excellent for WordPress), CloudLinux, and Imunify360 + a control panel (DirectAdmin offers are even a bit cheaper, testing one out now).…
-
I completely agree with you - and felt as if it would be out of my control if I weren't able to do a manual migration, and manual cloning. Only after having perfected that was I happy to use the on-click stuff - because it saves time. But it's still important for me to know how to do it manually in case any of those…
-
Depending on what you are moving, and where to, doing it manually sometimes requires some concentration for a few search/replace commands (for the files and/or for the database). But I agree. Even with shared hosting, it's nice when SSH is permitted (some providers allow that) - can make things faster, if not literally…
-
I prefer light themes - and use f.lux for making the white be less white when it's nighttime. :)
-
Here are the stats, and my impressions, after some more testing. TL/DR - Reseller Entry is probably useless because of only 1 vCPU, but the Reseller Enterprise Entry looks surprisingly good. https://io.bikegremlin.com/23094/hostmantis-enterprise-reseller-hosting-review/#8
-
That's all true and correct. Most of the sales boil down to marketing. Psychology and all. Bullshit if you like - that is a good term for it. :) Bigger companies usually make more money (depending on the niche, they often pay tons of dollars to celebrities for advertising) - but no one is crazy to put that up-front with…
-
That is true, and sad. I've been facing the same problem and decided to (finally) start paying for the Hetzner Storage Box. It is more expensive than S3 (and Backblaze B2), but it works like a charm, and I couldn't find another way to backup cPanel (and DirectAdmin) so that I can easily read the backups without relying on…
-
...> @Lee said: DA has a built-in automated backup feature. It works with MyW hosting. cPanel can also be configured for automated backups (unless the provider explicitly forbids that). In my experience, as long as you don't abuse it (once per week is usually fine) - you're OK. JetBackup makes messy backup file structure…
-
The customers are paying the price. Owners will have their capital multiplied and need not necessarily care what happens with the product (nor its customers) afterwards.
-
Seems to have been fixed (according to them): https://wordpress.org/plugins/cookie-law-info/#developers
-
I find it almost hilarious. :) Thinking of coining a term - doing an "AlphaRacks" is for going bust, with the money, then re-emerging as a "new, clean company." Doing a "HostMantis" is making unexpected, unannounced drastic changes of pricing and resource policy on a yearly basis. Only - I've never seen anything like that.…
-
Oh, c'mon now! What's 10% among friends? :)

I had included the entire code in the original post, if that's of any help (I thought it would be important): https://wtools.io/paste-code/b6S5 This is the entire "package" download link: https://whmbackup.solutions/download-latest-version/ And this is the, (for) now apparently abandoned, project's home page:…
