Weird. Reached out to them for abuse from ~200 nodes using their form, provided samples of the malicious traffic that was a brute-force on MySQL. Did the same with Linode, around 20 nodes. Linode got back in touch within the day. DO did not. Removed the blocks after a week, Linode had abated and no change on the DO front. Responses are consistent with other hosting firms that have voiced similar concerns over how abuse remediation is managed with DO.

Not sure if there's a better thread for this, but are there any definitive guides for both attaching a FQDN to OpenVPN Access Server and getting an SSL set up on it? My google-fu here is not helping me much. I have an OpenVPN server running on Debian 9 if that makes a difference. teen phone cutie fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Jul 7, 2019 |

I'm making a little site to show off some art I've been working on and want my own website to put on business cards. There are a lot of choices and Im not sure which service I should pull the trigger on, so I figured I'd just ask everyone outright. Can anyone recommend a service or setup that: 1: Does not cost an arm and a leg. (I'll get maybe 30 visitors a month.) 2: Has decent software for website building for a guy who can't code past basic scripts. 3: Has tools for displaying a large gallery of pictures. I'd appreciate any advice.

Okay, so I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, so feel free to correct me if I'm in the wrong place. I've been admin of a wiki for translating a Japanese tabletop rpg for a while (specifically, the wiki's been around for about 7-8 years at this point, back when it was still Wikia and not Fandom). Thing is, especially in the past year, year-and-a-half, I've been more and more disgruntled with how Fandom has been running their poo poo
Any particular suggestions? I really, really loving hate Fandom and want to get this poo poo done sooner rather than later.

I know people have been having issues with Wikia/Fandom for a while, but this is crazy. Like, this goes back before I even thought about starting my wikia page. At the same time, though, I definitely appreciate the link, and I'll look into the options they're suggesting. Gonna take a little to read through everything, but time is something I seem to have quite a bit of lately. Thanks.

The domain I didn't lose control to is about to go up and I need to renew. I've been using Lithium hosting for several years. At the time there was some sort of goon code or promotion and I was wondering if there still was one or if that was just an olde days deal to get in new folks. Either way, of the two goon hosts I used, Lithium is great because they didn't let my website die and not answer my questions about what was up or what to do and then later announce they just aren't going to do it anymore anyway. Anyway, want to keep using Lithium, just wanted to see if there are any deals for a website that probably gets 0 visitors most years.

Their new base plan limits only 3 domains which is kind of lame though. I know they monitor this thread but I’ve been reluctant to take their offer. I think I have like 6-7 domains at the moment. Some are just parked... Cpanel prices have gone up though so I guess it makes sense on their end.

Annath posted:I want to make a very, very simple website for probably a dumb reason (archiving information on a dumb niche video game from the 90s after I discovered many of the fansites I used to visit have disappeared). For requests like this I'm surprised https://glitch.com/ isn't being recommended more. You get to host a web page instantly with a single click, without even logging in if you don't feel like it. Dead simple HTML and JavaScript coding if you want it that way, or lots of pre-made sites you can remix if you want all sorts of functionality that goes beyond bare minimum for a website. Most importantly, it not only lets you define your front end but they give you a free backend. Their own servers will run whatever Node program you type in 24/7, for free, serving up pages using exactly the logic you want. Your program could store stuff server-side so your website has a memory, and some of the apps you can remix already are set up to store stuff to a remote database you can also get for free (for example on mlab.com) so your website can do things like display user posts and other submissions. It's by Fog Creek, the makers of Stackoverflow, so it's no small time operation.

copy of Dreamweaver to write a lovely basic website with a list of pages on the left, and content in the middle. I basically want the 2019 version of that, since all it'll have to display is text and the occasional table with sprites.

Hey. I didn't see much discussion about the increase in cpanel pricing, but mine went from 13.95 to 30.00. are there any ideal replacements that are cheaper or free that I can use on digital ocean? I only use it for myself and my own accounts not for others or reselling or anything.

Result from the independent Rack911 security audit as well as general chatter on panel audits. You'll be pressed to find a free panel that's competent at what it does. Devs need to eat and building a platform/frontend around a variety of disparate services is no menial task. Incentivization either is to charge up-front for it (cPanel is a deadend product, but that's a discussion for another day) or produce something so gimped that support contracts are a necessity to run the product. I've looked at ServerPilot and Runcloud for example and both are terrible. SP doesn't provide any brute-force deterrence and Runcloud is what happens when you purchase a sysadmin off Fiverr. CWP lead dev is a mercurial sonovabitch that alters freemium features on a whim. If you run the code through an ionCube decoder, which all of it is obfuscated by the way, you'd see too the codebase is horrendous. CVEs confirm it. Vesta's so bad it demanded a fork in the form of Hestia and... MyVestaCP or something of that ilk. CyberPanel, well Patrick stopped at 50 pages of vulnerabilities and called it a day. Much of the code isn't deduplicated either.

I'm helping someone without much computer knowledge set up a small niche forum. Are any of the one click installs one would get on shared hosting (Simple Machines, myBB, phpBB etc) considered much better than the others? Ideally with the ability to easily save backups. Also they are thinking of going with hostinger, anyone had any experience with them?

Panel demo • Release notes apnscp (a/k/a "ApisCP") 3.1 has been released! It's been a great opportunity to work with DarkLotus on this release. Now it's out the door after 7 months of development! 3.0 focused on achieving widescale adoption whereas 3.1 is business as usual with innovation. Among the 1650+ commits rolled into this release,
Thank you everyone for feedback, grit, blood, sweat, and hopefully not too many tears whilst testing. Any other questions feel free to shoot me a message or hop on Discord. As mentioned above licenses are free for goons. Have fun, but let me know if you manage to break anything!

What's the pros/cons between: 1. Set up a bunch of domain names and 1 server, create A records under each domain name to point to the same IPv4, and have NGINX blocks figure out what domain name goes to what document root 2. Create a server with a pool of IPv6 addresses, create a bunch of domain names, and set up rDNS configurations so that different IPv6 addresses point to different websites on the same server, and have NGINX blocks that go to different document root. Is the only different that each site will have a unique IPv6? teen phone cutie fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Nov 13, 2019 |

Is this the right thread to ask about hosted mail? I have too many eggs in the Google basket, and their recent rash of arbitrary total-account bans frightens me. I am looking for a new email host with the following features. - Custom domain support, so I can move again and not have to change my address. - Standard mail client support, so I'm not necessarily locked down to their lovely webmail portal and phone app. - Reasonable security, like two-factor. - Reasonable privacy policy. I'd like to get away from data-mining ad companies, but I don't really need Snowden-level end-to-end encryption features. - Storage measured in gigabytes, not megs Yes, I'm totally fine with paying. So far, Zoho, FastMail and Posteo are at the top of my list. I'm wondering if there are any I missed, or if those I listed are bad in some way. Edit: I forgot to mention that this is for personal use. azurite fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Nov 22, 2019 |

I have a cheap shared hosting plan with one of the providers that has advertised here in the past (Lithium Hosting) and it came to my attention that stuff has stopped working in the last few days. It seems to be because the disk usage has gone above the limit. Problem is that I can't find out what is using all the space. The main user control panel says I'm using 2200 MB (my limit is 2000) but the CPanel info page says I'm using only 700 MB; 450 or so is files on disk and the rest is databases. How can I find out what is using the other 1500 megs? I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with shelling out for more space but I have no idea what's eating up the space I do have!

Hostineer will always remain a whitelabel brand that provides a unique ecosystem to APNSCP, but now it's time to take its training wheels off and do something better for the hosting industry at large. That being said, monthly licenses aren't available yet for Black Friday but discounted lifetime licenses are! $99 each through Monday. Monthlies will be available beginning December 15 for $15/month per license. Even if you snagged a free lifetime license from here it's a great opportunity to support development. Prebuilt images will be available on DigitalOcean sometime in December. Back to work  Edit: image is up. Fastest platform install in the ocean.

What's a "storage array provider"? If you're a provider of storage arrays, don't you know how they work and how to ship drives off to a data recovery company to have the array rebuilt and data recovered? Who thinks buying new drives to install in a failed array will work if the off the shelf drives they already had wouldn't work. Also, who waits a month to inform customers the server is down? This sounds like a company ran by a 16 year old, run away
