I went for the don't care vote as I don't really spend that much time here to know all those nominated enough to cast a fair vote. Good luck to whoever takes it on and I hope it grows and develops.
-
1Password, for no other reason that I picked it out of all those on offer and it has been fine. Been using it for just over a year.
-
Anyway, my opinion on the purpose of this thread for all it's worth. This site in my view has already peaked in terms of a forum, so although people are throwing names around largely based on "he's a good guy" type of view, the question should be more about 'what will a new admin bring to move it forward'. Anyone can be a…

Well, I think when I moved to get rid of Spirit and a couple of other things happened people were way more nervous about making requests for favours. I would like to think I at least influenced some positive change over there.
-
Yes and no, the 'team' was corrupt and that was not as a result of Joel selling to CC or even CC themselves. Even when I was Mod the money, gifts and services I was being offered to get a provider in LEB, unbanned, a thread that didn't sink and so on. It was acceptable to make those offers to me as previous admin/mods had…

Also, thanks to those that helped me decide @retrotech and others. All up and running and now starting the looooong process of transferring the 1st lot of media. This thing is blazing fast though :)
-
I do like Amazon for speed.
-
I marked Netcraft emails as spam, ended up receiving so many that were just nonsense I just wanted them all blocked.
-
Done deal, ordered the enclosure and 2x 14TB drives plus extra ram and 2 NVMe for caching. Along with my existing 2 8TB drives this should keep me going on only cost £1200 for now instead of £2k.
-
Excellent, I think that confirms my purchase then.
-
I would probably do this if there was a decent cost-saving, but the drives are the killer so it would be a lot more hassle to DIY it than just buy something that does the job. With the DS920 you are getting 2x NVMe drives and more. Doesn't appear to make sense to build a NAS these days.
-
Actually, that was my other question, how easy it was to upgrade drives in place, so fairly simple if I use 2x 8tb and 2x14tb then decide to upgrade the two 8tb later?
-
Yes, I do like the way SHR works, I have two 8TB spare right now and I was thinking about just getting a couple of larger drives and using the two I have which will give me plenty for now and I can upgrade later. Just wasn't sure how reliable SHR was so this is useful info. Thanks.
-
That is how the deal probably ended.
-
I'll pass thanks. Just doesn't feel dirty enough without paying for it and I would want you to feel bad about yourself for doing it, not getting that vibe.
-
How much? I am at home all night.
-
Yes.

It is a pretty shit thing to keep advertising like nothing is happening. I mean even though the Starter Plan has been put out of stock someone could sign up for the entry plan meantime whilst they wait on stock becoming available. So they get a double hit, not only will the Starter never be available but their entry plan…
-
That article really is piss poor, but that aside where are you getting that statement from or is just your own opinion that it is unsustainable? Looking at the available stats, around 80% of people are not even close to the new 15GB cap. By the sounds of it, Google is simply going to capitalize on the remaining 20%. You…
-
Just a case of wait and see now. I really think the issues are more around their poor marketing/communication skill than suggestions there is something wrong or they are selling up.
-
Not when the decision has already been made.
-
So, I tried Elementor as I want to use WP for a couple of sites to save time. Installed the Hello theme checked performance, seemed ok. Then made a header, footer, homepage and the like. Is that normal? No idea with these for all my years in hosting Wordpress has never really been something I have paid attention to. I mean…
-
Or you could leave that shit on LET where it belongs.
-
No, the smallest plan is staying, this is where people are getting confused and fueling claims of dodgy practice. Entry - Starter - Advanced - Expert It will now become Entry - Advanced - Expert So if you were on the Starter plan at $8.95 you will be auto moved to the Advanced plan at $29.95 which makes sense, you can't…
-
Of course, they will be inundated with complaints. This is no doubt part of their issue, those complaining are the ones paying virtually nothing and taking up all their time.
-
Don't see why, Hostdoc like most LET hosts of that ilk were always doomed to fail, many will still fail, it is just a matter of time. HostMantis has been about for a long time, not the greatest marketing people that is for sure, but a solid provider over the years. Something has triggered them, probably true that they are…
-
What, you mean more unsustainable recurring deals that won't be honoured in the future? Yeah, plenty of them about.
-
When you have websites that just need to work, the simplicity of email, SSL, backups and so on you don't jump to a VPS for a couple more dollars. In my view anyway. The time value alone would cost you that couple of dollars x 12.
-
Unless I read it wrong my window price is moving from $5.95 to $9.95 on the Entry reseller plan. Nothing to be bothered about. I believe I have a 25% discount on that which will still continue. One of the things I really like about their cPanel reseller is that they give the reseller access to JetBackup in WHM, which means…
-
I suspect they have taken an overall view and decided to up their DA pricing now rather than wait a while when some may well switch to DA from cPanel due to the price increase. Switching then getting hit by a DA increase a few months from now would not go down well. So at least they have done it all in one that way people…
-
That's fair, I am not bothered paying them a couple of extra bucks for it. This is what is going to happen though, different if they were charging $20 each month for their cheapest one then they could and probably would absorb the price increase. I would rather they increased a little and kept offering great service as…
-
I have stopped using low-end providers, just too much hassle these days, that's what I find anyway. Outside of BuyVM and InceptionHosting, I stick with Hetzner, DO, and others. Everyone will flock to LET during events like this as it's where they will get the rock bottom, stupid resource level deals that they are…

I still have the Google spreadsheet 'Bat list' of the list we made up of all the people on WHT that needed a baseball bat around the head. For those that are still around today it remains correct and still needs to be carried out. Although the top of the list cd/home is either not around anymore which is a shame. Maybe he…
-
It was made public, I got rid of him, it is all water under the bridge now but I had a good reason at the time. His protest was to delete his posts/account before being removed.
-
Certainly in part but then it is constantly that high and higher at all times of the day so I would bet more on bots.
-
It will be that. Just had a quick look and there are 881 'guests' online, it will all be bots. They could stop that but then it all adds to the sense of it being busy. and gets that view count up. Doubt they are intentionally manipulating it themselves.
-
The early years were amazing, I loved it. So much going on and so much to play for at the time. Social media wasn't a thing, everyone wanted a website so they could host a guestbook and were willing to pay good money to do it :)
