@mr-jones said in SAMIT: The Roles of Web Hosting:

@scottalanmiller I don't know how new any of this is, but I'm really digging the transitions and logo stuff you got going on. It's got the RGB feel to it, but not over the top.

All that stuff is done by our marketing team in La Paz!

I'm liking these non-IT technician focused videos.

Thanks! I'm hoping to broaden the audience and make tools that IT staff can either use directly by sharing with management or learn from on how to present to management.

Far too often IT is pressured to make business decisions that other business stakeholders should be involved in.

And vice versa, tons of times untrained people with no IT insight or knowledge make all the critical IT decisions and just have the staff classified as IT deal with the mistakes rather than avoiding them.

HTTP/3

Just a draft so far. No browsers has it enabled by default.

@pete-s said in Web hosting + (or not) email: keep separate:

This is somewhat ridiculous. The entire premise of Microsoft's offering is vendor lock-in.
Of course you are hostage to Microsoft. Of course they will keep integrating their services until it's impossible for you to change providers. And when they raise their prices you will pay. It doesn't make sense to fool yourself into thinking something else.

If you want separate discrete services you have to stop using O365 because it's already a bundle of services - even without email.

Unless you only want email from them, then it's not too locked in. Just not very good.

The lawyer and I got a bit nastier and finally someone in tech support gave up the "real" legal contact info after all kinds of run around. We've had their attorney respond now, after a month of going after them. They only responded when we got a bit more angry and included their upstream vendor in the conversation (they resell Tucows) so they had their partner watching them because they knew we'd be knocking on their door next to ask Sherweb to be shut down.

@brandon220 said in Using Vultr Apps for WordPress Hosting:

I just loaded one to do some testing. Don't plan on using it for production. I may use Bluehost or Vultr on Fedora. My main reason was to get familiar with a theme and see if I like it. Then, I can destroy the instance and make it permanent and with the correct underlying OS.

Works fine for that.

So, tounge in cheek question, do you curl up into a ball when trouble comes along?

I'd also like to point out that the recent flappery regarding this mob would say otherwise.

It does not seem easier to me. Could just be me though.

It's often not just more steps, but more complex too!

A Small Orange uses cPanel and has been very good.

I love a small orange. Have never had a bad experience with them.

It's been great here.

The site looks great

Thanks. Thank @Dominica who is running the web design stuff now.

@Breffni-Potter could mean double the capacity at the same speed per load. "Faster" isn't a strict term in a case of load delivery.

OMG, nevermind. Figured that out too. Was a combination of a missing default path and the same .NET CLR pool version as before. It's a subfolder and needs its CLR version set, too. Argh. All is well now.

If you want to use a newer version of .Net, I generally tell it to use whatever version I want and the "Classic" version if it is listed. I've had problems similar using any other version.

Hard to post them because nearly everything has account info on the screen...

@smartkid808 Are you already a customer with Arvixe?

Yeah, he went with them.

Looks like he signed up with ASO... or are the one and the same now (owned by same company?) lol.

OH!! You are correct, good Sir. I was indeed mistaken. My folly.

I found this specifically for the identical issue on ASO.

Yep.
