From what I could tell, without exact measuring, server backups get uploaded very, very fastly. :) That's what I use 99.99 % of the time. Weekly, I download the backups from Hetzner to my local HDD storage - but that can be done overnight, and even at these speeds it doesn't take nearly that long. Still, every once in a…

For all I could tell, SSH gives similar results. Haven't tried any other methods for moving the files to and from my home PC. It's not a problem, not draggingly slow, gets the job done, just wanted to check if there is something I could do to make it faster (while remaining safe and convenient to use). :)

Going up against "the dragon must be asleep" in the finals of the Famous Last Words competition... :)

Man, check out: https://www.bike-components.de/ I'm considering making an alternative option, with a naked chick with big boobies jumping out at you! Say no to that! :) It is annoying and pointless, at least we could make it fun. :) Massive use of adblockers should seriously affect my websites' AdSense income. But if you…

Here are some of my reasons (probably doesn't fit every person, nor every use case): * Comments capability comes out of the box. No need to pay for any third party service to allow article comments & replies. For my use, it's been a great way of improving content (feedback, corrections, questions etc.). * SEO tools that…

I know replies like this don't contribute much - but the first reply by @johnk covers all the high points, and I agree with what he's written. For my use case (websites that get edited and updated regularly) - WordPress is a better option (again - for me). And I have looked for alternatives, tried several.

I'm still running some stuff on PHP 5.4. Using the CloudLinux "sanitized/whatever" PHP (making the obsolete versions less "unsafe"). For my own sites, I switched to 8.0 a few months ago. Was planning to wait for the 8.1 (.1 is always a good idea, the patched versions :) ), but it's not being published, while the 7.4. is…

From what I could gather: It's too risky if you are working with clients. You need to find a good lawyer, and a good dev/admin whatever - and list all the services used, then write proper policies (in a legally acceptable form) for all of them (whatever is being used/tracked etc.). I'm not sure I'd sleep well relying on an…

I'll... I'll stick to bicycles. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij7ITSImOPY

The things you rent can end up renting you... :)

Couldn't find THEIR privacy policy about the data given to them. :) It's nonsense - but I expect it all to go even crazier, more complicated, more expensive and more difficult to avoid even if you are not in the EU.

Thanks for the info @Ympker - I'll pass it for now though. :( Rant: Decided to not spend any more time nor any money on that lawyer/bureaucrat induced nonsense until I'm forced to. Running with free solutions - Google's own (unlimited and not run on my server) for my websites, and the free CookieYes WP plugin for my…

Thanks for the heads up - will look into it. Though - I check backups regularly and still prefer doing them server-side.

So far so good - my Brixly hosting first impressions: https://io.bikegremlin.com/25425/brixly-uk-hosting-review/

I asked @Ympker He liked Brixly. He's German. I don't like Germans.... :) Joking. Giving Brixly a test as of this morning. Will write and publish the standard long, boring detailed notes on the pros and cons in my hosting reviews section. Looks good so far. Not perfect, but very good.

Wait 'till 5.9.1... or 5.9.2. for that matter. Until it gets reasonably well patched. :)

It was PHP after all - as I wrote in the topic on the WP problem. Took them too long IMO - almost 12 hours with no feedback whatsoever (I did ask them to let me know if they are working on it, or not so I can start migrating websites... and after about 4 hours, I had started migrating websites). All super civil, polite…
-
Feedback: The issue was caused by a bug in an update with Imunify360. The update added an incorrect entry in the systems PHP 8.0 configuration which caused PHP 8.0 to throw errors and not load correctly. They have removed the incorrect entry and PHP 8.0 now works normally. I haven't tried switching the PHP version - didn't…
-
Seems to have been fixed - waiting to hear if the provider will provide any feedback on the problem cause. And will be able to see the logs for today in the morning.
-
Can't tell from the logs that I can see. :( I'm interested to know what those are too.
-
I stand corrected. WP install did go through after about 10 minutes (highly unusual - too slow, never seen anything like that). But the website shows exactly the same problems as the other WP websites on my account - can't open it, can't log into the backend.
-
Did it. Have relayed every info I came across today - as ticket updates.
-
Tried - won't go. Not on an existing DA account. :(
-
Haven't tried that. It looks like a server problem. Will give it a go after I'm done with the migrations. :)
-
I've tried creating a new DirectAdmin account and installing WP - that works! Haven't tried making a blank install on an existing account.
-
Doesn't help. Tried it just to be on the safe side and test every option.
