I have done some testing in the past, support is fast and efficient, they have recently carried out some major upgrades to their infrastructure including moving to NVMe. Struggled to find anything bad about them. Some highlights of the recent upgrades. We have invested almost £200,000 in new infrastructure, which…

I guess if it was me I could live with that. I mean it's not really just a button press to do the transfer from cPanel to DA. It's admin time. Some charge for that others don't. $10 not to do it myself during my current lazy ass streak would be fine.
-
Indeed, would rather stick with a UK server provider so will probably move the sites in question over to them. Indeed, wasn't even my own personal reseller that was the issue, it was the one I use for family/close friends. Not a paid provider anymore as most know but still sucks to have people close to you have to complain…
-
This is exactly what happened to me, noticed issues, couldn't initially figure it out. then happened to check the announcements section and I see the change posted, never got an email or any notice.
-
That's not going to happen.
-
I think it was reasonable to let them work it out, the service is good, performance was good. Most like myself were anticipating that by this point they got the numbers figured out and would have factored in some headroom for the anticipated increase that cPanel would inevitably come along with. It appears they didn't do…
-
My plan will go from $9.95 -> $12.50, assuming they continue to honour the 25% discount then I am actually just going to pay the window price of $9.95. $9.95 is absolutely nothing to me at the end of the day, as an often-used saying that is very true of me, I pay more in a single day for coffee than I will pay monthly for…
-
Thanks, make sense. I did think a comment I saw was incorrect which suggested they did. Which really made no sense.
-
No.
-
Curious about the Pro Pack DA is offering now. Is this being provided with free licences you see being offered with some providers like BuyVM and IH?
-
Also, reading the thread on WHT about the cPanel price increase which HM has been commenting on, they seem to all but confirmed they are going to increase pricing again. So have a double boot in the bollocks which they will likely wait until the very last second to do it.
-
I have too many systems, sometimes I need the simplest solution which does not include having yet another box just for storage.
-
To be clear, I am referring to the ability that HostMantis provides that allows you to use S3 or another cloud option in Panel and automate. Neither DA nor cPanel has that ability baked in. Jetbackup has that but only if the provider lets you use it. Most don't. I can read and access all the files fine without reliance on…
-
The only real reason I used HostManits is that they provided the ability for your own off-site backups. If I can't replace that, which so far appears unlikely I will just use a VPS and install Jetbackup myself. Does anyone know of any other providers that allow you to create your own backup destination? I would take a…

Indeed, not as easy as they all think. cPanel is evolving into what it should have been many, many years ago. A business, run like a proper business intent on increasing value and profit. The result of that is the licence paying customers have to follow that in their own operations, or change the panel or build their own.…
-
I don't see any need to migrate from cPanel, just from the providers that have little business acumen (most LE*) and price efficiently to manage the changes in panel pricing that are pretty obvious in their pattern of increases. Sucks? sure, but no need to blow it out of proportion in terms of the true 'per user' cost…
-
I had thought the last changes had set them up to deal with anticipated future price increases that we all knew were coming. Seems unlikely. Again, I am not against paying more for good service so I can keep cPanel for the wider convenience but not when they think it is ok to just spring every change on clients. They are…
-
Well, after the slient change to resources I am out of goodwill with HostMantis so will be migrating away. Yes, probably will change pricing again.
-
Indeed. I gave them the benefit of the doubt a couple of times now but my goodwill has run out. To be honest, I just see the cPanel price hike in January bringing another last-minute increase to their plans. Really don't trust them now. They didn't even email out to tell me (assuming everyone) that they made this change…
-
Their pricing strategy was wrong and something was going to give eventually, just a matter of time. In this case, a VC saw how wrong they were doing it. I mean I was paying the same amount in 2005 for licences I was being charged for in 2019. In fact, I am sure I was paying more at one point pre-2005 than in 2019. And they…
-
Thanks, had performance issues and couldn't initially understand why. That's them dumped then! Will migrate away this week.
-
Not a sale, they often do no setup offers.
-
Not going to try and defend HostMantis, but I do like them as a provider. I have said several times I think their communications are not the best but I can understand, or potentially understand some of their actions. When cPanel dropped their 1st price increase they had to act, so they did what they felt they had to do in…
-
Well, they are in terms of the way 4 operates to 5 but I looked again. In actual fact, if you simply extract the main file stored in JB5 it still opens as an archived set of files as it did before. All good.
-
I totally get the idea behind all of this but JB5 removes my trust with providers again. I was comfortable using some providers I would not normally 'trust' fully on the basis I had a simple path to use the remote backup option to store backups on my own S3. Seems that is gone now. If the only way I can access those…

I thought that before realising WordPress at the point you install it is far from BloatWare. It is the user that turns it into that.
-
Don't really care where it is. I just think it is something discussed often as seen by the longest thread amongst all others. Would be helpful to a lot I suspect but more beneficial if you can find Specific content easier.
-
Yes, indeed.
-
People need to make a decision, move on or just accept the position as is and see what happens. Waiting and watching each day serves no purpose anymore. Let it go now, let the threads die and move on.
-
Turned into a real shit show now on the OGF.
-
I will be that guy again. When he shut his last host (HostMaxim) he blamed it on COVID to which I responded. So he launched HostMaxim in Jan 2020, close it in April 2020. He launches Spearware in Feb 2021, too lazy to even create a new template for his grand opening offer on LET, just copies the one used for the grand…

I use my phone for something the young crew don't. Talking before browsing.

Also not good at image optimization, jeezus. 20mb in two images. Killed my phone.
-
Perhaps, but respect to him for not adding to the shit show by making claims of anything related to their finances.
-
Whilst not cheap I love getkirby, so feature-rich and so many new features added of late. Despite its vast features, few are actually enable at the start. You get a basic set-up, whether you want to use all of the features is up to you, simple to enable and use only what you need. So you can keep it light. So easy to…
-
Well if I am getting 2 free then why not. If anyone wants to serve the other one on me the bids start at $1.

Do I get a free lawsuit with it?
