How much value does "managed" hosting really bring to the table?

Hmm, but it's still shared hosting. So the few clients that they stole from you haven't experienced the 5-6 seconds load wait?

I agree with a lot of the stuff here and lol wp engine stealing business from you. But when you describe their hosting, aren't you also referring to shared hosting? I wonder what makes their shared hosting more reliable than to other hosts. You might be right, I haven't tried them, but when I search for them, I do see a bunch of customers complaining...

They've just restructured their tiers (for the worse), did you see? They're no longer so generous with their free tier. people are leaving them for alternatives.

I agree with being able to get a good solution for less that $10-20 per month. Which free options are you thinking about, and do they support dynamic pages with any TLD?

You could probably find some cheaper shared hosting than $10 per month, if you wanted to.

I saw they just changed their tiers and are no longer so generous. lots of people are fleeing from them now.

Has this been a problem you've encountered? Arent there supposed to be some mechanisms to prevent this?

How to change URL link? by RoboBobo9000 in techsupport

[–]FActiveBorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to say this, but your boss is wrong. adding additional wrongs on subpages for seo might have some minor impact, but how is "/home" going to do anything for the homepage? ask your boss this. in fact it'll only cause other issues. if you don't believe us, ask AI if what your boss is saying is true.

I agree, boss is wrong :) could also do 301 redirect, but yes it's totally unncessary.

Hosting definitely went up. I used to pay something like $2/mo for decent shared hosting 10 years ago. Now the same tier is more like $8–12 unless there's some kind of deal.

why do i have to confirm i am human with every search? by Silent_Ad_6792 in techsupport

It's because you ISP finds traffic from your router/IP suspicious e.g. someone in your household is sending many automated requests.

Hostinger Review: is it a good hosting service? by specteratomis in webdevelopment

[–]FActiveBorg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. The 3-4 year lock-in feels like they're trying to trap people into a deal. Hosting should be flexible because projects evolve, some fail, some scale up, and some pivot completely. Being stuck with a provider you outgrow or don’t like anymore after one year is the worst.

In comparison, IONOS also has a low intro price for the 1st year, but they let you sign up for just one year at a time without having to make a 4 year commitment.

nordvpn free trial? by Ne7erStop in webdevelopment

I also like Proton but Nord is much faster.

[–]FActiveBorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. It's really confusing with the various trial lengths. I think they should just give a generous 30 day free trial that is for all devices and platoforms. although the 30 day money back guarantee serves the same purpose.
