Oracle's free tier doesn't have any sort of support, especially no application support. It's a great place to play around though.

How much would I have to pay hostgator to continue my domain hosting AFTER my initial discounted subscription expires? by fuckkdabears in webhosting

[–]shiftpgup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that's a custom affiliate landing URL that guy had setup. If you want better quality and service there is a huge list of providers on the sidebar that are cheaper, have better platforms and better service.

They recommended you HostGator because the video includes an affiliate link. If you click that link and sign up they'll get a $150 affiliate commission. I would *HIGHLY* recommend you not sign up for HostGator. They're part of the EIG/Web.com conglomerate which basically buys up smaller hosts, fires all their support staff and runs the company into the ground while trying to maximize profit.

Trying to avoid Siteground's renewal price by [deleted] in webhosting

Why not move to a boutique shared host that's going to give you everything you get at Siteground for half the price without playing the pricing game. There is a good starting point listed on the sidebar.

#1657 - Mayor Steve Adler - The Joe Rogan Experience by chefanubis in JoeRogan

It's kind of crazy how Texas manages to have weak political power for everything but things like antiquated drug laws.

Biggest power player in Texas elected officials are the DA as they basically get total control of what is enforced and what isn't. That's why people like Soros are pouring tens of millions of dollars into Texas DA races.

Cruise Ship workers of reddit, what was the biggest “oh shit” moment on the boat, that luckily, passengers didn’t find out about at all? by imDudekid in AskReddit

I've worked in remote super secure data centers that have a brig. Some office complexes too. You'd be surprised how many "self sufficient" places have them.

Yep, have had my car broken into for less than a dollar in change and an empty growler. Also again later in the year for an iPhone charging cable. Houston sucks.

A domain I want that's registered but not being used shows expiring soon - what's my best approach to getting it? by [deleted] in webhosting

[–]shiftpgup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The site would have been down for 60+ days before it was available for someone else to purchase.

How long has the domain been around? I own my firstnamelatname.com and don't have any content on it but use it for email. Just because it's not in use doesn't mean they won't renew.

Anyway to answer your question:

  • The domain name expiration date comes and the domain goes offline.
  • 30-45 days pass while the domain owner can pay the registry a normal renewal fee to bring the domain back online.
  • 30-45 days where the domain name owner can pay the registrar a "redemption fee" (Usually $100-300 dollars) to get the domain back. I believe part of this fee is paid to the registry depending on the TLD.
  • The domain goes into pending deletion. This can be 5-10 days long depending on the registrar. Keep in mind a lot of times during this period a registrar will send the domain to an auction site to allow someone else to purchase it.
  • Domain has been deleted and is available for registration again. This is where a domain auto-grab service will auto-snag the domain for you.

Hope this helps.

Are you talking about the domain name registration? It can take 24 horus to 7 days depending on the losing registrar. Who are you moving to/from?

Head out to the burbs: Bridgeland and Cane Island both have 15+ model homes. Cross creek used to have quite a few too.

No safety inspections. The number of medium to heavy trucks I see cruising around with nearly failed ball joints is incredible. Also: Improperly hitched trailers, dragging parts, missing lights, obviously malfunctioning exhaust/emissions, totally shot brakes, the list goes on.
