I've taken out a VPS from Ionos (formerly 1and1). It has 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM, 10GB SSD, unlimited traffic, root access, and a choice of distros, including Debian, Ubuntu & CentOS. Plesk is also offered free, but, I've not used it.
All for the ridiculously cheap price of £1 (£1.20 incl. VAT) per month. At this price it would be rude not to test it, which is what I'm doing.
The spec is limited, but, I can think of hundreds of uses at this price point.
None of the officially listed (German/European) #Nextcloud hosters publicly just admits to the version of Nextcloud they're running or what their adoption goal is.
I love #hosting.de, but they're also still on v25 - v26 was released in March (with v26.0.3 2 weeks ago), and v27 three weeks ago.
In the light of renewed conversations about Meta and Threads, I would like to remind everyone that it is now easier than ever to run your own fediverse community, without having to worry about setting up and maintaining your own server.
kennt jemand eine Web-Software, mit der man Gutscheine verwalten kann? Das ganze soll idealerweise OpenSource, für Linux und zum selber Hosten sein. Wenn die Software ein paar Euros (50 .. 100 €) kostet, ist das aber vermutlich auch ok.
Kunde soll per Webformular Gutscheine kaufen, bezahlen, ausdrucken und verschenken können. Der Beschenkte kommt, löst den Gutschein ein und das Personal kann den Gutschein prüfen und damit entwerten.
So mal ganz grob, wie ich mir das Prinzip vorstelle.
Weiß da einer von euch was oder kennt jemanden, der was wissen könnte?
Apparently it's now a thing for dinner party hosts to ask their guests for money to help with groceries. Eater reporter Amy McCarthy says that's not OK, and offers some suggestions for cutting costs if you want to host but can't afford to. What's your experience with this? Pick as many answers as apply and share any fun stories in the comments.
I've been mostly Google Domains + Cloudflare. What is everyone else running in their homelab. Is there a better registrar I should think about moving to?
Salut les gens ! Un pote cherche un hébergement pour deux sites Web composés de pages statiques avec juste un micropouillème de JS dedans.
Des idées d'hébergement pas cher, genre sur Chaton ? Ils y en a qui font ça parmi les Chatons ?
Ou si tu connais des service pas chers, *** autres que OVH ! ***
Je n'ai pour le moment pas super envie de l'héberger sur mon Rasp... mais ça sera une solution si on ne trouve rien d'autre.
Ok, I'm embarrassed to admit this. I've run at least one server of my own for two decades and the user agent data in my server log files still perplex me.
Take this for instance:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/119.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Is this just a very complex way of saying the user agent was an old version of Chrome on a Windows 10 machine that was rendered with Safari/Webkit version 537.36?
Is this normal uptime for a shared-hardware VPS? https://sirtaptap.com allegedly goes down for ~5 minutes about once a week. Not critical, and hey, I'm only paying ~$150 a year for it, but between Cloudflare and moderate traffic, I wouldn't expect almost any downtime.
The downtimes have been short and random enough I've never been able to confirm them manually, all reported by #betterstack.
As a someone in the #tech and development space, my peers have always shunned #Wordpress and I have to admit I also steered clear from it simply because I judged it to be a weak, drag-and-drop solution and closed ecosystem.
But I strongly believe my hatred for it has been unfair and without any cause all these years. The fact that it is so popular shows that it is a valid solution, and without it, millions of blogs and small business websites would never have been possible. It is also far less closed and locked in as many of these other solutions Youtube creators often advertise as you can #selfhost it as well.
What is your opinion on it? Do you use it, and what do you use it for? What do you like and not like, and finally, what level of technical skills do you have? Are you a developer or a non-tech-savvy person who found the perfect solution for your website, blog, or e-commerce store?
I hate discord for ever allowing the term “server” for what’s essentially another space on a server that’s still basically owned and controlled by them and @matrix got it right. I have an actual server, I have a space with rooms on that server. I really hope this improves to the point we can take over discord because I would love to move on from that. #infosec#cybersecurity#matrix#discord#hosting
Looking like I’m going to have to bail on my current web hosting service because they renew at too steep a price than I can afford for a little blog site and two domains.
I keep seeing HostGator, inmotion and DreamHost show up as well-rated sites with really affordable (introduction) packages.
Does anyone have any experience with any of those services? Good/bad/ugly?
