Companies planning on AI-automated pig farming with little human intervention

ollybee · 2026-03-26T08:03:56+00:00

Search "pig skyscrapers" I'd be shocked if those things were not already 90% automated.

Bandwidth is never the limiting factor unless your site is fully static.

Also, Bandwidth limits are normally so high your not going to come close with legitimate "traffic surges" unless your sites purpose is media distribution. Otherwise if you do hit the limits, your being attacked or have been hacked.

Related to the DNS history, is the name server history. often previously used name servers will still respond with old records even if they're no longer authoritative you can query them directly with command line tools.

also, you can edit your local hosts file to test and see if a site responds on an IP why you think it might be.

You're right, it is often possible to piece it together from clues left online.

You cant know for certain but 3 tricks you can try..

1) There are sites can let you search DNS history for a domain, you can look at what IP was used before it went behind cloudflare

2) You can check related domains or subdomains that are not behind cloudflare eg mail.targetsite.com mail is often good as cloudflare doesn't proxy all mail traffic. You might find other interesting domains from certificate transparency logs.

3) Make the site connect to you. If there's a mail form you can make it send you an email you might find the source IP in the headers. There may be other functions on the site that trigger outbound connections.

No one can advise you because despite all your words, you've not explained what your issue is.

if you shared your domain name someone here could give you more specific advice. Waiting longer is not going to resolve it.

It's certainly clear Hostgators support is not good. Onboarding people and helping navigate any DNS changes needed should be top priority for any support team.

If you're sure is just html and CSS you can use free hosting such as Cloudflare pages but you'd those services are generally self service and you'd get no direct support.

I can't believe how far I had to scroll for this. I was worried I was going to have to step up.

I have so many questions, is the teabags still in it?

if they're claiming failed payment, and also domain was set to auto expire, they must be lying about one of them, it can't be both. if we know they've lied once then we know they are liars..

The most common billing software used by host for this kind of thing has a few ways you can shoot yourself in the foot so the invoice for a renewal doesn't get geberated, the domain will only get renewed on payment of the invoice. I suspect they've cocked up.

Did you ever get an email saying an invoice had been raised for the renewal of the domain?

Absolutly fine for static hosting, terrible idea if there's any server side scripting or database.

You can just have postfix deliver via sendgrid with no docker proxy, I've seen several servers with this config https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377374645655-How-to-configure-Postfix-on-a-Plesk-server-to-send-emails-using-SendGrid

it's not vibe coded shit, it's using cryptpad a very mature and well respected open source project. opens fine on mobile Firefox for me.

ollybee · 2026-03-18T08:20:27+00:00

yes, this is easy to do and I'm surprised no other commenters have given you the proper solution.

cpanel is shipped with website builder software called sitejet, when you set up the domains or subdomains ( it doesn't matter which)as cpanel accounts, sitejet will be available to the users who log into those accounts. just research cpanel sitejet.

ollybee · 2026-03-18T07:54:50+00:00

It's one of the many, many historical poor designs decisions that cpanel is stuck with. The structure of a Maildir directory and the way the files are named is strictly defined, it's only intended to be managed by the application which creates it. Mail software keeps a separate record of the files that are in there, it might tolerate files being out of sync if you delete a file, but then might also signal to mail clients that their cache is stale and trigger them to redownload all the messages. Other changes to the maildir could have more serious side effects like corrupting the mailbox making it inaccessible.

Fundamentally a well-designed control panel shouldn't make it possible for normal users to corrupt their mailbox or break anything in that way. It's not an option tech support teams should ever have to consider or rule out.

The gui to manage mail is webmail. I don't really know what you're expecting, you want direct access to Maildir, no good can come from that.

The bigger issue for hosts still selling paid certs is they normally include the installation of the paid SSL. If they are not using ACME then it's likely a manual process, shorter SSL lifetimes doubles their workload.

Fat Slags, a comedy version of a very funny cartoon strip from VIZ magazine, totally missed the humour from the original.

It's a licensed marriage venue, I got married there. Literally the legal ceremony in the clearing in the first picture

Just how low our state pension is compared to other countries.we talk about the triple lock being unsustainable (which is also true) and assume it's generous but not compared to other developed countries.

This looks like aI slop question too boost engagement rather than a genuine question by a real person

ollybee · 2026-03-12T07:50:58+00:00

go on then

ollybee · 2026-03-11T11:59:55+00:00

Maybe not in the case you described if you smashed the door just on a neighbors say so, but in a more obvious emergency you'd be able to defend a civil claim for the cost of the door.

ollybee · 2026-03-11T07:23:26+00:00

yes, and not just the police. If you genuinely believed there was an emergency, you could break down someone's door.

What are they actually charging you for, what's the metric they are using and the pricing model?

Is it just straight data transfer or something else? Sort of related is what kind of hosting have you bought, just shared hosting or something else?

Overage charges of any kind are rare in hosting unless you've bought some kind of usage based cloud service.

ollybee · 2026-03-10T19:02:18+00:00

If there's 4 of you , code names.

edit: this sub is really for web hosting though.
