    WebHostingTalk Worst of the Hosting Industry

    Never understood what the underlying issue was with his view towards WHT. I suspect services were bought from a Corp member that turned out to be not so good. Although there was a point where people like Greenvaluehost along with others figured out how to get a Corp membership without paying...

    List of reliable sub 20$ per year providers

    Interesting test, this thread started in 2013. Who is still on the go from the list on the 1st page. Gone: AnyNode.net [Detroit, 64MB special] Crissic.net [Florida] DedicatedMinds.com [New York, NY] DotVPS.co [Dallas, Atlanta, Maidenhead(UK)] Liquid-Solutions.biz [Seattle] Still there...

    Where is the consumer hosting market going next?

    Only if you become one the hosts that can't make it in that 'new market'. There are customers out there for all services, just fewer of them and they get more scarce as time goes on. The bigger emerging markets which are controlled currently by the likes of DO, Linode and others will continue...

    What's your language?

    As I said above PHP may not be the most popular from a modern viewpoint, you cannot turn off the fact that so much of the web relies on it and that is not going to change a for long time yet.

    What's your language?

    So I will say it now, front end, I can't do much with, thank you @MDO for Bootstrap! What is your current preferred coding language and why? Where do you think the future lies? My comfort zone has always been PHP in association with MySQL. Prior to that I worked on Cobol and Pascal, in fact...

    Vultr $2.50 instances

    Yup, but not unreasonable though, for $5 I have one in NJ and another in the UK. Personally, I don't need more than 2, but for $5 it's great to have two test machines sitting around.

    Where is the consumer hosting market going next?

    10-15 years ago it was all the rage to have a personal website, no really, everyone who was anyone including your Gran had a website, it maybe only had a guestbook (remember them) but it was a customer nonetheless. In 2017 shared/reseller hosting is not so much a thing, comparatively. There is...

    GoPanel

    For you Mac users out there. http://gopanel.io/ Been using this for a month or so now, really neat app to get a new VPS setup with all the basic tools you need and then manage/monitor much of it without the need to log in to the VPS itself. About a year old, yes it has some issues but overall...

    I am sure I have seen that before, still, a bit extreme :)

    Updates to the Apple Mac line

    Laptops are getting smaller and thinner though, I get that everything is soldered in, makes no real sense to make it bigger for convenience, if you need that then buy one that offers it. My Air is awesome and the very reason I like it so much is the size, it's an effortless carry about. I can...

    Updates to the Apple Mac line

    It's not just that, as @rmcdougal01 says, software also, I know there are things I want to run that require Wine, so Linux->Wine->Application. It's just not got the foundations for me.

    Updates to the Apple Mac line

    Because I want things to work without tinkering. I used to run Linux but buy a new keyboard, oh right I need to spend two hours trying to get Linux to understand the layout, the backlight button and so on. New mouse, what 3rd button, no idea m8, you need to change this file and that file to...

    Updates to the Apple Mac line

    So, I am looking to buy a new Mac, but waiting to see the new line-up this year. What I really want is a far better Mac Mini device that I can use with two monitors. Whilst I do love the retina 5k screens I want more than one which is why the Mac or the Pro is better. Hopeful but cautious...

    That plugin does look quite neat, to be honest.

    Cheap dedicated server

    I bet some are charging more per plan than the server costs per month :)

    Post Your Rides!!

    I would like to post my ride. But she won't let me. Ah, I am too funny for my own good.

    Cheap dedicated server

    It scares me how many will use that server as a chargeable service. With, of course, 105% uptime...

    I reckon you are a cheeky spammer, no opinion on your host.

    Vultr $2.50 instances

    Wasn't sure where to put this, just a heads up for anyone looking for one of Vultr's $2.50 instances. I was in there just now doing some backups and noticed they have instances available in New Jersey. Maybe other locations, I didn't check.
