I'm paying €40+VAT (@23%) for them atm. eNom does the same thing, and when I called them out on it they said the exact same thing - "we use encryption!" - totally missing the point that they shouldn't be able to read my password other than when I send it to them to authenticate. Lost passwords should be a one-time-use time-limited reset token that expires on any changes to the user's ID info (email changed? token no longer valid. password changed? token no longer valid) but tons of people don't get that. I moved all my domains to Route 53, which I already use for all my DNS, and haven't regretted it at all. Thalagyrt fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Feb 26, 2015 |

Route 53 is nice, we use it for our work domains. If you need something easily scriptable it is hard to beat. Work domains are even set up so we have *.dev.domain.com managed by a second dev AWS account so they can't mess up anything production. I'm using name cheap still because I buy my domains there. They are eventually going to rehaul the GUI to match the rest of the site, but its serviceable. I also poked around the google domains beta and almost went with them but their price wasn't any better and I didn't feel like making sure DNS transferred over properly and mess with it.

We're using Route53 for our domains at work as well. We don't have anywhere near enough updates to bother with scripting stuff, but just doing updates through the console is stupid simple. My only "complaint" is that you get a different set of name servers for each domain, rather than one set for any domains in the account, which made the migration process a bit more difficult than it needed to be. Certainly not a big deal by any means, just a minor annoyance since for each domain you had to look up the NS hostnames for each domain and then update the info with the registrar, rather than just putting ns#.amazonaws.com or whatever for all the domains. (And Amazon's reasoning for doing what they do makes sense, so you have name servers under multiple TLDs and they can load balance and change the underlying architecture without it affecting users and all that, just something to be aware of.

I host a bunch of small business websites all on my lonesome and one of them asked me the other day how they would get control of their site if I should disappear. Right now the honest answer is "haha you don't, your website dies with me!" I have regular backups of all the sites in git repos. What would be a clever way of giving clients access to these backups through some kind of independent service that will still be there even if all my servers explode and I get hit by a bus? The only thing I can think of is sharing the actual repos on something like bitbucket, but I think that would confuse the clients. Ideally I want to give them each credentials to some simple service where they can login and download a package called this_is_your_website.zip or something.

You should probably create an account in their name, be sure to use a contact that is semi-permanent at that company too. This way if you lose contact with them after your internship, they still have control of their hosting account.

If you have the option to put "currently running a small business hosting for multiple clients for X years" on your resume after college I would certainly put some thought in to doing it. Obviously it depends on the situation. It's been a while since I was in college but I hear nowadays people leaving school have a hard time finding a job without 2 years experience already.

I migrated my site from GoDaddy (poo poo) to ApisNetworks on a developer level account. What web log analyzers are you guys using with the freedom allowed with the Apis developer level account? Seems as though you can't use webalizer because you don't have permissions required to `make install`, but I haven't tried copying a precompiled binary over and running it out of a folder in my home dir. Best option to set up a cron task on a local machine to pull the log file and parse it?

I know for the KB, which is built on WordPress, I've relied on Jetpack that works well to discriminate bots from humans. Webalizer, Analog, and AWStats (the big free 3) have been rather dormant for some time ceding to bigger commercial players in the market, chiefly Google Analytics and other value-added services that provide bundled analytics. I'd just stick Google Analytics into your site and go from there. You'll get a better resolution of visitor traffic over Webalizer/Analog/AWStats that provide only baseline traffic, i.e. how many spam bots have pulverized your site in the last 24 hours.

I saw A Small Orange mentioned in the OP. Thought I would share my two cents since I worked for them for roughly 2 years. Working for them was better when I first started out. This was before the CEO left after finishing the merger with EIG. They have completely independent staffing of the other EIG brands but sometimes techs would be pulled off to work on HostGator's mess of support. HG was up to 1000+ tickets and a week response time at that point before we had to go bail them out. The tech/management team is actually pretty skilled and know what they are doing but support has a very very high turnover rate. Some of the new management and team blow hard as they came over from EIG. The internal pay was terrible and not competitive. Add that to the fact ASO has 4 different hosting brands under them to support as well. More and more corporate EIG policies were sneaking in and making things go downhill. While they were great and perhaps are still okay, I would not expect that to last many years. The only service I would recommend with them upon my departure would be the VPS plans. If you have an existing VPS plan and see their promos that happen a few times a year for 2x the ram, CPU, or disk - you can have that changed to your existing plan. Same thing with price adjustments, they will modify it for you. I've seen people spend $45 a month or less for a VPS with 10gb of ram, 4 cores, and 100gb SSD space with cPanel/r1soft playing that game. poxin fucked around with this message at 01:21 on May 1, 2015 |

I'm shopping around for a place to host an app I've been working on, and I'd like some clarification of my options from anyone who knows better. My web pages aren't huge or anything, it's important to me that my server is able to do the calculations my customers send to it. Nothing too crazy, maybe the equivalent of a poorly optimized WordPress site, I'd just like to make sure that it doesn't get sluggish if a large number of people use it at once (for me a large number would be 20-50). Now I gather this means I'll need a VPS at the very least, but I'm not sure what I should make of the resources I'll need. Are all of the cores I see advertised created equal? How much power is 'about equal to what you'd be expected to use with shared hosting, but in a VPS so more reliable' to give me some idea of what the numbers mean. I'm guessing 2 cores/2GB creates a similar experience to serving from most shared plans, but I may be way off or they're not at all comparable. Of the sites listed in the OP, OVH seems cheaper for the features they offer, is there anything I should look out for there? If I'm more calculation constrained, is there an advantage for me to be on an SSD? Right now I'm leaning towards the Cloud VPS plan from OVH due to the price and scalability. Like I said though, I don't really know what I'm doing, so any input is much appreciated.

i have almost 30 dedicated servers at ovh, it is very good ($120/m for 192GB ram, 16-32 cores, HW raid) - and they happily tank attacks for you at no cost only thing to note is that you will have absolutely zero human empathy: terminations, suspensions are automated; your servers will be powered off at midnight GMT if you miss paying your bill. 5 days after that, it will be irrevocably wiped. full automation. same thing; no arguing with support, they won't|can't|etc do anything for you IP SWIP, RDNS, netblock allocation (after approval) is automated in panel. Moving IPs between machines is automated in panel. Reboots, KVM over IP, OS install, etc is automated in panel. Expect little to no support. Hardware failures are auto reported by the chassis or whatever the hell BMC they use; they will replace your poo poo automatically, so don't be running raid 0 or anything Impotence fucked around with this message at 15:52 on May 10, 2015 |

I was just getting ready to drop my cash, but you guys are giving me second thoughts. I really like OVH's promise of 24 hour backups, the ability to upgrade immediately from a control panel (especially since I'm not really sure how much power I need), and having a web control panel itself is a nice bonus. I could probably manage without a control panel, but I've always had some kind of control panel, or a server guy. But if that stuff means I can't get ahold of someone when my poo poo's not working then it's not really worth it to me. I'll probably just go with Lithium VPS ( I'll bet that was your plan all along, Dark Lotus  ). I assume there's not much hassle to upgrading my VPS plan if I find I need more power? Anyway, I'll take any more questions to the respective CD threads.

I want to use github's user pages tools to create my webpage, but have my domain names that I got through register.com redirect to my username.github.io page. I got it working for a couple hours but then it went down. I think the problem is that I don't know the real difference between the A file and the CNAME file, despite re-reading github's guides several times. How can I make https://www.mydomain.me / mydomain.com / mydomain.net all redirect to myname.github.io? I've gotten as far as getting a GitHub-branded 404 page to show up when I go to mydomain.me but that's it.
