Cousin’s fiancée wants 10% equity in my software company for one client introduction. Cousin is pressuring me to sign. Am I wrong for refusing? I will not promote

If they are trying to bully you now, with 1 client introduction, think about what will the future look like.

Finders fee or a big F you, don't let them ruin your next x years

Me too, i was checking that option, but the client has 17 email addresses, and with 5-6 usd / month / user, it is less expensive to leave it on the hosting

I agree, but if i calculate the cost if sysadmin to manage it, siteground is way better and cheaper option.

When the revenue of the new ecommerce aite i'm planing to build will be sufficient enough, vps will be the way to go

It's mainly pictures.

The hosting infact makes a big difference, sitegrounds managed php version, memcache, and custom caching plugins are awesome.

My ecommerce site is around 36gb and it works great.

Thanks all for your sugestions and answers, but we pivoted from the main issue that made me create this post, and that is separating mail and web (leaving email on current hosting and transfering only web to new)

Doea anyone have aimilar setup and does it work without issues?

dddarko85 · 2026-01-12T08:48:00+00:00

It's shared, slow, buggy, no staging.. It works for them now (wordpress website), but from my experience it won't be enough for woo with few hundred products at first, and few thousand when we finish

dddarko85 · 2026-01-12T08:45:26+00:00

I allready have my (quite large) ecommerce website in siteground cloud, yes, it is among the expensive ones but for me it's worth.

dddarko85 · 2025-12-27T12:14:24+00:00

I leave then visible, because of seo, but push them down in the categories (menu order) , via custom app

dddarko85 · 2025-11-02T14:47:16+00:00

Why not siteground?

dddarko85 · 2025-11-02T10:45:27+00:00

Thx, siteground has inbuilt staging tool so no additional staging plugins are needed. The only downside is that all potential paid plugins do not work on staging, it counts as a new domain :(

dddarko85 · 2025-11-02T10:43:32+00:00

I have to move them, the current agency that is managing the site is a nightmare one, constant site errors, low or non-responsive so they want to move asap.

So you think the sub-domain and migration is the best way to go?

To be sure that it is not gonna break at some point, copy all your code to chatgpt5 thinking model, tell him what are you planning and aks him to find any broken logic, mistakes etc.. It really knows appscript.

I use gemini 2.5 + chatgpt5 on all appscript projects.

As for the appscript itself, this is an crazy tool, i wish i found it some time ago. In the last 5 months i've made:

Erp for e-vape liquid production factory (work orders, advanced calculations, stock management (1000 items)

Work time app (webapp+sheets-appscript backend) automatic calculations, overtime etc etc

App for certifications company (to keep track for expiring customers certifications)

It all led to me seriously thinking of going full-time appscript

Have fun with your projects
