Paid Hosting?
So, we’re working on the design and tweaking the code
And we’re thinking about offering paid hosting…
Mainly due to costs and stuff.
It’ll be inexpensive paid hosting, but sort of low support…
The same support the free hostees get, but get more space and bandwidth.
We won’t be able to compete with the major hosts out there, but hopefully we can come out equal. But I don’t think people like the thought of buying hosting from a mainly free hosting provider. But we can always be hopeful.
DNS Switched!
Okay!
ParuParo is currently propagating to switching to the same server as TyL.
So that’s why I’m posting it here and not on the status page.
I’m still double-backing up the files, so if something is missing, please
drop us an e-mail and we’ll try to get everything fixed and in working order.
Sorry for any problems that occur, but you get what you pay for?
Current Status:
-Backing up of Databases [done]
-Transfer of files to server [done]
-Backing up of all files [done]
-DNS Propagation [done]
Wordpress Setting the Standard?
So,
If you’ve noticed, ever since Wordpress 1.5 introduced their admin center,
a lot of scripts have conformed to this similar pattern.
One very noticable change was phpBB3 incorporating tabs with sub-options.
Now, MyBB is also following suit with MyBB 1.4 using tabs and sub-options.
There are several other scripts with a similar interface, like PixelPost, and several others
That I can’t recall the name of >.<
They may not look similar at first, but if you notice, they all have a familiar feeling to them.
The admin panels may be conforming to a similar face, but I wonder who will be the
first to deviate and bring something even better.
Maybe one that reads your mind?
I wonder if some hosts will follow and change there’s to a similar feeling.
But the admin panel seems to only work for content administration, not server management.
Why shouldn’t I auto-pay things?
I am true believer that customers should not turn on an auto-payment feature at any site.
There are several reasons to this. It’s not just the fact that the company might not know
how much money is really behind your credit card, but that they will be provided with your
permission to charge that card cyclically at the amount they desire. Not only that, but their
billing system decides when to withdraw the money from your account. I’m not writting this
just because of the incident that dreamHost had. I’ve had other companies sending me e-mails
for items no longer in their hold, but they told me that I would be charged later that month
because I had selected to use their auto-payment feature. I turned it off and it should expire
from their system soon, but if I had changed my e-mail and not payed attention, I would probably
be wondering where my money went.
Auto-payment features may seem nicer since you don’t have to constintly login to make the payments,
but bugs do come around and it’s safe when a human is maintaining part of the control instead of handing
it all over.
I did mention earlier that we might leave dreamHost, but we’ll give them another chance since they’ve
been good for the price, and we weren’t really effected (Except for the e-mails asking for money) and
we don’t use auto-payment features.
