Two things: 1) load speed, 2) see #1.

I thought minimum spend was $1 a month, which is why I've kept my stuff on cheap shared and vps plans so far. I do occasionally get higher amounts of traffic for which a cdn would be useful.
-
Do any of these coupons still work? Edit: I tried (I think) all. Some said invalid, some said "invalid for your account", some said expired, none worked. Oh well.

In the case of these animations, they are already loaded and then there is a small delay before they move into place, as if the page is still unfinished when the person starts looking at it. Anyway, lazy load is a sign that the page designer has put more effort into bling than into a performant backend. The total amount of…

I don't like the animations at all. Would rather have a page that doesn't squirm around on the screen. Whenever there is something on the page that moves or opens after a delay, there is likely to be a configurable parameter that says how long the delay should be. Another way to think of that parameter is that it sets "how…

Nice, glad it worked out, I do think doing 2 stripes (or no stripes) would have been a bit safer.
-
This is an SX62 then, I think. Do you have all 4 drives in a single stripe(!), or two stripes of 2 drives each?
-
What was he paying before? Can he migrate away without too much pain?
-
Are any "big players" using stuff like WHMCS? I thought WHMCS (and Blesta etc.) was a small-company thing. DO, Hetzner, OVH, etc. don't use WHMCS, to say nothing of high end operators like AWS.
-
What is the stopper for them now? CPUs? Hdds? Other? Wondering. I needs storage though not an sx133 worth :).
-
Hey @Bunnyspeed come over here, the theme is greener!
-
Cpanel is fantastically complicated and is consumer facing so hosts don't have much choice about offering it. If their customers want it and are willing to pay for it, there's not much to decide. Whmcs is mostly host side and I don't understand what is so great about it. Yeah switching it's hard, but those not already on…
-
This is pretty good. Are hard discs available? Would like 2x 4tb or so.
-
How bad is this? What are the main alternatives to whmcs? Too bad the housin hosting industry can't get it together to replace this stuff.
-
I don't feel likely to use it myself, but it looks good.
-
Nice. I remember trying a CPX51 a while back (16 thread non-dedicated AMD) and finding that the cpu was heavily loaded so it was comparable to my old 4 core Intel i7 auction box. This new stuff is expensive but it's good that the speed and capacity are there for when they are needed. If I feel extravagant I might try a…
-
So how about posting here directly? Any bigger storage plans available in LA?
-
I have a bunch of scans (digital photos) in jpg files that I can view with a thumbnail viewer, with a few notes in text files about what is where. The amount of stuff isn't enough to need a more serious level of organization so far.
-
Virmach had and maybe still has a thing where you get a free minimal shared plan if you have a paid vps with them. I have it and use it, it has some downtime and other flakiness but it basically works. I only use it for a few very low traffic personal sites so I haven't bothered trying to move it. Actually one time, one of…
-
Discord is maybe about to be acquired to Microsoft for $10 billion. I hope those currently using it can migrate away.
-
Dogex pro! I'm losing millions!! /s
-
Privatebin looks cool but doesn't appear to do what was requested, namely delete the message after one viewing. I may try to code something like what I described above (permanently connected clients sending null messages every few seconds) but whenever I think about it, I get stopped by realizing that most users now are…
-
Oh I got confused about the pi zero. Oh well. If you have a cheap dedi (kimsufi?) that you're using for some other purpose, this would be a good use for it too. Or if you can use client software that makes things easier too.
-
Wait, this puts the decryption key into a newly generated url. How do you transmit the url to the person? By email? I guess if someone else intercepts and uses it, at least the intended recipient will get a link that doesn't work, and figure that something is wrong. This seems fairly easy to implement using redis or simply…

I'm out of touch about what these site generators do, but I tend to use a combination of hand-hacked scripts and org-mode export with a little bit of templating in my emacs init. If you want markdown input you could use pandoc to convert it to html. I like very primitive looking pages though, and that's not for everyone.
