With hosting panels in general? I prefer cPanel. My DirectAdmin thoughts/experience. For MXroute? It could be just a habbit, since I only worked with DirectAdmin to configure emails for a friend (it is set and forget, but I did configure more emails on my, cPanel MXroute account).
-
Been using the service for over a year now, and can recommend it. Pricing is quite affordable, but regardless of that - service is good, reliable. Not "good for the (relatively low) price", but "good - period". Would go as far as to say that MXroute sets an example of how email service should be run: * not tolerating any…

This makes sense in terms of long-term service sustainability (saying this as a lifetime package user). Knowledge and experience, good business planning. All sounds quite reasonable and logical IMO. Keep up the good work. Really good service. Would recommend it.
-
At least zip can be done at the server level, not using the PHP app (i.e. WordPress) to do it, no? Not really sure about the rest.
-
Why are there two LowEndTalk forums still? =) Anyway, as I had sad... on one of the forums: If they weren't so long in the business, I'd be concerned... But I've really been more than happy with the quality of their service so far, so might just give it a go.

I'd say that subdomains offer more flexibility. And more (logical) separation - if that is needed. That is, with subdomains, you can relatively easily set up: uk.example.com on a server in the UK, and de.example.com on a server in Germany. For the "logical" part - you could make different topics be hosted on completely…

I second this. At leats that is the way I do things: first doing "homework" and figuring out if a website can be optimized better. Dishing out more money for a more expensive server is easy, but think it makes more sense to try and optimize the site, so it doesn't waste resources. For both money saving, and for stability…
-
Depends on the host. Those who use LiteSpeed, let it limit resources so they can't be abused. Even then, some impose a limit of how much you can use a certain percentage of the resources, even if you don't hit the limit, some don't. cPanel should give you information on which resources were limited (one, or more).
-
You can see what the bottlenck was: * in the hosting control panel find the option "Resource Usage" (in cPanel it's under the "METRICS" tab) * click "details" if it is shown (covering other options) * click on Timeframe to expand it, and choose the range you wish to see Then it will show graphs of the used resources, so…

LScache as LiteSpeed? In my testing, that one is far better than the others you mentioned - at least on LiteSpeed servers. Make sure your site is properly optimized and caching is properly configured. What was the resource bottleneck? With WordPress, at least on shared/reseller hosting environments, it's usually CPU (at…

What kind of caching do you use on that website?
-
My 2c on: securing a WordPress site, and WordFence configuration/setup (and the performance hampering it does).

My experience with WP caching (TL/DR LiteSpeed is way better than everything I've tried - except the paid only WP Rocket, which is close): https://io.bikegremlin.com/7303/wordpress-caching/

Yup - simple common sense goes a long way. For as long as the administrators are just and honest - it's all good. When/if they are not, not even the best rules can help with that. At least when it comes to running a forum: I'm all for autocracy! :) Did I have problems with administrators? In the past 30 years, twice, on…

Rather late post - but just to offer a different perspective/experience: 1) Making several different companies/brands does have some pros, but also has cons. In terms of: one strong brand being a lot better than having several unknown ones. So, anyone doing the work to diversify - that's legit, with its cons. Not sure such…

For backups I prefer server doing the job, than a plugin backing itself up practically. As @Ympker said - less load on the server from what I could tell. JetBackup + Backblaze, along with hosting provider's backups, and monthly copy to an off-line hard disk, just in case. For page builders, I'm sticking with Elementor.…

I can certainly confirm on the GeneratePress - the theme is great, fast, stable, and the support, even for the free version is top class. Cherry on the top of the cake is their documentation. As for Kinsta, I would say their articles are generally among the better - even though they are, I agree, "written for SEO". Even

Re-posting the original reply (old one can/should be deleted): Over the years, and judging by the types of articles I get, offered as guest posts, I've come to recognize such stuff. That seems like an OK quality article written by someone paid to write an article "for SEO". Testing method seems even more primitive than my…

OMG! Stricten the economic sanctions and prepare the army for an invasion - those people need democracy ASAP! :)

On the 4th, however, you can be most certain it's just the fireworks. :) It is an interesting phenomena - the "cultural export", with the Haloween and Valentine's day already being accepted into many countries who hadn't had those "holidays" before. Wouldn't be surprised to see 4th of July celebrations go worldwide as…

Why should you celebrate colonies' independence? :) "Columbus, you curious bastard!" - old joke from the time my country was bombed by the US: :)

You will most likely have hit and miss. Some rearrangement will probably come over time (so make each article's link be irrelevant of its category). But it helps - at least in my opinion. My attempts (two completely separate topics, but principle is the same): https://io.bikegremlin.com/ https://bike.bikegremlin.com/ Not…

Pagebuilders posts are in the same category as KVM partition resizing post. It requires some "strategical" thinking, but I'd recommend figuring out the main categories and the sub-categories for the blog section's main menu, then sorting all the content within those. Sort of a logical division of topics. With the idea:…
-
Suggestion: Make categories in the Blog section. Articles will add up over the years, so diving them into categories (and adding a search option) would be helpful.

Very interested to learn, but very tight with time. Can't even put my finger on when it will be possible (hoping for another corona-virus lockdown :) ).

Trying to make a website be like an Instagram story? Suppose it's good for marketing. If it survives (unlike Google plus), it might also be "good for SEO", even when it's otherwise pointless.

Gives warning for CPU cooler fan mounts incompatibility, and place in the housing - which is great! :)
