You can configure one gmail account to fetch emails from several different accounts. That's what I do and it has been working fine for years. I just avoid the forwarding (re-sending the same email, for the same person). That way Google doesn't have to filter that email for spam and I don't risk the email not coming into my…

Don't see how your choice of an email client would affect GDPR. "Officially" it's all good - if you wish to dig deep, then even using a Windows 10 would be a GDPR liability, wouldn't it? Am I missing something?

I prefer integration with Gmail - storing emails with Gmail, not on the hosting server. Makes migrations easier, and it's more convenient, at least for me. Step-by-step instructions if needed: https://io.bikegremlin.com/10364/website-gmail/

Based on what I could hear, Divi used to be more problematic (relying on shortcodes) - not sure how sorted out they are now. Elementor is OK if you need a "really cool looking" page with minimal (no) coding effort. Not an optimization/speed champ, but can save the time. Or at least the hassle until people figure out what…

The SEO Framework, along with most other SEO plugins will noindex the media pages. Pro version (paid for one) allows automatic redirection of those (in case you had messed up and the media pages have become indexed by search engines). Or you can use custom code in a child theme to do that. Or get a plugin just for that (my…

Plugin seems to be working. Downside? If you use any other (sub)domain with a website, the plugin introduced rule gets it cashed on Cloudflare. If it's another WP website - you just need to install the plugin there as well. If it's a non-WP website, and you don't want it all cached (backend, or some dynamic data) - then…
-
For that WordPress caching, if you wish to cache most stuff, you need the control to not show cached admin versions to users, or one user's version to another. That cost the 200 $ plan, but if this WP thing works, it will end up costing 5 $ for WP - we'll see.
-
Looks very similar (identical?) to the available option to bypass cache on cookie that comes with Cloudflare's more expensive paid plans (starts at Business, 200 $ per month). But you end up relying on Cloudflare, and paying them, every month.
-
It's about marketing, diplomacy when doing that - customer feelings and stuff - all important. :) Technically: A 3% yearly increase over 10 years equals over 30% more on the 10th year, with aggregate price increase over the years being even higher, than if one just increased by say 40% on the 10th year, leaving the old…

I think it's normal for every corporation to try and boost their profits - which includes price hikes as well. Why invest corporate money and effort in building a brand if it doesn't bring more profits?
-
From what I could gather, it's 0.3 from 0.2 - a 50% increase. And 0.175 from 0.1 for "partners" - that's 75% more. But neither seems close to triple. Am I missing something?
-
I once met a dishonest human, and stopped doing any business with humans ever since! :)
-
.20 from what I could gather. So just a 50% increase, not a 200% one. :) Dug out my old article for the last price hike, and compared the old and new figures: https://io.bikegremlin.com/10527/cpanel-price-rise/#9

What exactly were the prices before? How does it work? Source? EDIT: found, it is official. https://cpanel.net/pricing/

MXroute of WordPress SEO plugins. :) My The SEO Framework (TSF) review/experience TL/DR - it's good, give it a try. Wrote about the free version only for now - paid one will get a separate article.

I've seen spiked resource usage only when doing some major changes - like editing categories hierarchy on a website that uses Polylang where categories for both languages are set to be synced automatically. But even that didn't cause any downtime, 500 errors etc. The only time I got those errors was when I was on a poor…

I log into the website and do all the writing. What's the use of using a "modern CMS" if a thing like adding new content requires a more complex procedure than that? That's one of its very few upsides compared to a static HTML website, no? :)
-
Try using LiteSpeed WP caching plugin since it's a LiteSpeed server - it works noticeably better compared to most others.
-
HM's has a resource usage policy. Something like this: “Any account should not use more than 25% CPU consistently for more than 5 minutes. If you are consistently using 25% or more CPU, you will need to upgrade to the next available hosting plan. If you are using the maximum hosting plan and are still using 25% or more CPU…

I have seen laws that contradict common sense, and/or my sense of ethics and morality. Check with a lawyer, and see where you stand - in case he tries to bite, in addition to barking. And, if you haven't already, make sure this is presented to people before they pay the money - in BOLD, idiot friendly way:…

Toptal has a lot stricter policy for freelancers, so one is more likely to come across a competent developer - in my opinion.

Nothing contributed by posting something like this, but I'll do it anyway 'cause I'm an asshole: Thanks @jarland for bringing this up, and to @oborseth for taking the time to explain. It is appreciated. Smarter now than I was this morning. :) My experience with Porkbun has been quite good - and this kind of giving a damn…

I didn't test before/after object cache. Might give it a run. Without any caching, WordPress reads the database for any page it shows.

From what I could hear, "Horizon: Zero Dawn" is very purely optimized for PC - requiring really powerful hardware to run properly. It's on my "to play list". Probably in about 5 years, I will get it on discount, and a PC needed to run it with best possible graphics won't cost a kidney.

Paid about 100$ for my video cards over the past decades. One every 5 years, on average. Great job by the marketing team in convincing people that 500$ for a video card is a good idea.

I find the HostMantis's JetBackup integration quite useful - for making simple, and cheap backups to Backblaze B2. And I think that cPanel is still more of a finished product, compared to DirectAdmin - so sticking with it for now. Have a few projects on Mike's DA hosting, but keeping it a (very) slow transition. HostMantis…

Maybe in a year or so, there will be a properly working JetBackup for the DA? :)

It is my understanding that you are making sure that your control panel works securely and stably, before implementing it. Remember you mentioned developing it some time ago (at, or even before the cPanel pricing shitstorm). And, at least in my experience, last 10% of development can often take even more time than the…
