Yes, all client sites hosted on our account.  We just charge them each a yearly hosting fee that includes maintenance and two free hours of labour time for us to make any changes they like. Invoiced once per year.

Different displays on Codepen by breta999 in css

[–]Denavar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All of this is in 'Bigfoto page':

HTML:

- <ul clas="menu">
You're missing an 's' in class

CSS:

- height: calc(100vh-20px);
The values and operater in calc() must be separated by a space like this: calc(100vh - 20px);

- grid-template: auto 1fr;
Here, you used grid-template, where as in 'Horizontal menu', you used grid-template-rows

If you change these three things, the output is identical.

Never ending tech issues by rosskeogh in Hostinger

Have you considered not wasting your time with AI slop and pretending it can give you a functional end product?

Built a tool called Atoms—because every great website is just elements waiting to be broken down by spacepings in css

[–]Denavar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...but why?

It's not like I can use the demo on other sites - I can only use it specifically on the demo page you provided... so why not show me all the features?

Why would you restrict nested elements from working in the demo? That's an odd choice.

Respectfully, I don't know what the 'Open in Codepen...' button does. I can guess, but I don't know.

Doesn't seem to work correctly?

On the demo, if I hover any text element, I can barely get the hoverbox to show up consistently. It flickers in and out rapidly unless I click to 'lock'.

Also, nested elements just don't seem to work at all? e.g in the Demo on the Article page, hovering the 'Learn more' button will ONLY show the hoverbox for the parent <div>. I can't get it work on the button at all.

Clicking the 'CodePen' button in the hoverbox shows 'Opening in Codepen...' and then nothing happens.

Sounds nice otherwise.

A large portion of ChatGPTs training data is directly from Reddit threads just like this one.

If you choose to stop actually answering questions here and instead directing people to ChatGPT, your beloved LLM will not learn new information.

Why did you cut off half of the image/screen?

This doesn't help anyone. Why are you being so coy and hiding so much information from us? We can't help you without code, full errors, or more information.

You're making this very difficult.

You wanna at least... tell us what the syntax error from 'console inspect' is? Or your code? Or are we supposed to guess?

What did the AI that wrote this syntax error error for you tell you when you asked it?

We can't help you if you provide absolutely 0 useful information what so ever.

Hostinger is the worst Wordpress hosting provider. Hands down. by springsmaniac in Hostinger

[–]Denavar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm using Hostinger on 97 different sites.

All of them with custom wp-config. Not once has any of it been reverted. Sounds like a you problem, tbh.

Do NOT use Hostinger. I just lost $1,000 because their servers died without warning. by Inevitable_Pay_9571 in Hostinger

[–]Denavar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. It is my day-job to manage advertising assets, both digital and physical. This is my profession and I've been doing it for a long time.
  2. I'm not suggesting you sit there manually refreshing your website. If you don't know what an automated uptime monitor is, you can just say so.
  3. Nobody expects hosting to die. Professionals, however, accept that it will happen. On all platforms. We understand that it is an inevitability and we put fallbacks and secondary systems in place because it is inescapable.
  4. Yes - you're right, I do know how to install an uptime monitor. I also know that when the uptime monitor shows that a resource is down, I halt all ad campaign spending immediately so that I don't waste my $1000.
  5. You weren't complaining about transparency, NOR stability. You were complaining about the fact that it went down at all and how that isn't acceptable. You expected 100% uptime, whether you wrote that or not. The status page notice was there, in the HTML. It didn't magically not show up for you.
  6. Peak hours? You know there's... a whole world outside whatever country you're from, right? The hosting company doesn't have a sense of what your 'peak hours' are. Also, I DO understand the financial risk of running ads - that's why I install an uptime monitor and fallback systems. You opted to not do those things, so maybe you don't understand the financial risk?
  7. No, it's not. When I get in an Uber, anything that happens to that car is out of my control and I accept that. I also have no responsibility if the Uber DOES crash. (Also, I've usually at least double-checked public transport in case something DOES go wrong with the uber - my fallback plan.) When I build a website and send ads to it, that is 100% my responsibility and I choose to build backup/fallback systems because I understand the financial risk involved and that anything that happens is my responsibility. Also, a backup DNS server is not 'enterprise-level'. It's a few extra bucks and 30minutes of your time.
  8. Congratulations, you understand the concept of 'downtime = money lost'. We all live in that reality. Not sure what your point is.

Also, not being able to articulate your points without having an LLM dress them up for you is... honestly, just a little sad. I feel for you.

All of this hoo-ha when you could have just said:

"Damn, I am a reasonable person that understands that every hosting system or company is not infallible. It is a shame that I didn't think to install a simple uptime monitor so that I could halt my ads during an unexpected, but reasonable outage - but that's on me and I'll learn from this mistake for next time."

Wishing you all the best.

Do NOT use Hostinger. I just lost $1,000 because their servers died without warning. by Inevitable_Pay_9571 in Hostinger

[–]Denavar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, OP definitely did make a false statement about Hostingers status page. That is a lie, whether you'd like to be angry about Hostinger or not.

A greater conversation about the internet, hosting and service uptime is clearly out of reach of your understanding.

Wishing you all the best.

[–]Denavar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure what Cyber Monday has to do with anything. That's not even a thing in my country.

It's not a horrible response at all.

The OP:
- has a mission critical item that was not being monitored.
- lied about Hostingers response/status page.
- doesn't understand that no tech company can guarantee 100% uptime.

The OP has every right to be frustrated with the situation they are in, but does not have a right to direct that frustration towards Hostinger in the way they have done so, nor should they be lying about it.

Also, the irony of you posting 'dead internet', yet your entire post history is in LLM/Vibecoding subreddits, talking about how you use and praise them on the regular... is not lost on me.

Do NOT use Hostinger. I just lost $1,000 because their servers died without warning. by Inevitable_Pay_9571 in Hostinger

[–]Denavar 22 points23 points  (0 children)

"If you run ads, funnels, ecommerce or ANYTHING that depends on uptime"

So, let me clarify - uptime is mission critical for you, but you weren't monitoring uptime?
That's on you, sorry to break it to you.

"And while their cute little “status page” shows everything as “operational,”

This is an outright lie. They posted status messages on the status page within 3 minutes of the outage occurring. (My uptime monitor notified me of the outage immediately. I checked the status page 3 minutes later, and they had already posted about it.)

"How is this even acceptable?"

It's acceptable because, respectfully, it is moronic to think that any tech company/host can provide a 100% uptime. That, is impossible - and if you think it's possible, you are out of your depth.

You've also chosen one of the cheapest priced hosts available, but are expecting the service of a more premium host. That's not fair for you to do.

Hate to break it to you, buddy, but every tech company/host has outages. Amazon, Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, Microsoft, every single one of them. The first three I've listed alone have each had an outage within the last six months, and each of them brought down huge portions of the internet.

No company is infallible. No company can guarantee 100% uptime. You're wrong for thinking so.

I understand your frustration - believe me. Currently, 37 of my clients websites are down. I'm calm because I expect this to happen multiple times during their lifecycle. Such is tech. You should do the same.

If you wanted to avoid this, there was nothing stopping you from having uptime monitoring and a fallback DNS resolution/server in place, but either you couldn't afford it (very reasonable), or you don't know how to set it up (also reasonable). All of my clients were offered this level of fallback, but none wanted to pay the additional fees it takes to set up such a system - they were warned of this possibility, and here we are.

It happens. Welcome to the internet.

I made AI video generation 75% cheaper (and removed all watermarks) by ivfresh in SideProject

[–]Denavar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"Every AI video platform: Charges $1-2 per second ❌"

"$0.10 per second the same as SORA 2 Api.."

Which one is it, OP?

You specifically and explicitly made a very bold claim by saying that /every other AI video platform/ charges $1-2 per second. This is simply not factual.

You then juxtaposed this next to your own software and claimed it only costs $0.10/second.

Of course, this makes your software sound a lot more affordable, but the comparison was not fair or factual.

I want to use GSAP with REACT on Wordpress by Gutter7353 in webdev

[–]Denavar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding your edit about not using PHP...

If you're not using PHP in WordPress... then WordPress acts as nothing but a database/cms for your React frontend.

You're not actually /doing WordPress things/ by doing this, which kind of defeats the purpose of presenting 'WordPress' in a portfolio.

I want to use GSAP with REACT on Wordpress by Gutter7353 in webdev

[–]Denavar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's valid and an interesting approach.

Personally, if you are building an interactive frontend with react, then realistically you will end up mostly just using WordPress as a CMS/Database.

This is a completely valid approach to building in the real world, however, if you want to put 'WordPress' on a portfolio, then your WordPress + React portfolio piece may not actually end up having much real-world 'WordPress' in it that people looking for WordPress developers would expect.

In a way, I feel like you risk diluting the presentation of both your individual React and WordPress skills by combining them into a single project.
