Fosstodon

riquisimoI'm looking to migrate our website domains to services not owned by google/squarespace, and our web host to something cheaper than bluehost.It's just a simple wordpress website for a card game, Penguinslap.com. We don't really get any traffic at all. Very occasionally we make a sale, and those links redirect to a PayPal site. Any suggestions?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/webhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webhosting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/domainnames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#domainnames</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/websites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#websites</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techsupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techsupport</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/squarespace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#squarespace</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wordpress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordpress</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degoogle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bluehost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluehost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/webhosters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webhosters</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/webhostingserviceprovider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webhostingserviceprovider</a>

Anne DeschaineI just got a phone call purportedly from Bluehost, referring to my URL specifically, saying it looks like there is a malware attack on my site. I have had a couple of unknown site views today. But there is no clear problem with my site, and I am aware that SiteLock and others are shady as hell.Is this a scam? Is this a good reason to just shut down my old site and find a new host? Is this the kick in the butt I've been waiting for?<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#malware</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/scam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scam</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Bluehost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluehost</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/webHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webHosting</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WordPress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WordPress</a>

rewarpY'all. One of my friends just got hit with ~ USD 720 bill from BlueHost after auto-renewing for years at ~ USD 40 a year. This is an outright scam.

Fabio ManganielloMigration from <a href="https://social.platypush.tech/tags/Bluehost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluehost</a> to <a href="https://social.platypush.tech/tags/Porkbun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Porkbun</a> accomplished for my two personal domains.Migration steps: set up two glue records that point to my existing DNS servers. End. And maybe also glue the DS records if you use DNSSEC.I've spent the last couple of years with a service that tried to convince me that there was no way of buying only a domain name and make it point to my mail and name servers in the 2020s. That I *had* to buy the whole package of hosting, Wordpress, Microsoft email and Office 365, even if I intended to use none of those features. And I probably had to thank them because at least they still allowed me to generate my own certificates with certbot rather than forcing me to buy their own, like GoDaddy does.And in the latest rollout of their UI, Bluehost has also taken care of hiding the DNS configuration panels under 5-6 layers of dark patterns, advanced settings hidden under advanced tabs, pointless warnings that can't be dismissed, and they have even made it impossible to configure your own nameservers.Then I just walked around the corner, and I found a service that's like "you want a name? Sure. No hosting, no mail, no Wordpress? Sure. You run your own DNS? Sure, just pass the glue records before the transfer is complete. We'll take care of everything else. With no downtime. And with a free API. And for a tiny fraction of the previous bills. Have a nice day".It feels like enjoying a gourmet dinner for the first time after a couple of years of McDonald's.

SwaderHow nice of Bluehost to offer this free service! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bluehost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluehost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webdev</a> PS: I'm getting the message because I'm cancelling the renewal...

N.A. FerrellBack in January 2022, I wrote a dialogue (using fictional characters) explaining why I was moving the NLJ off Bluehost shared hosting to a small VPS server. Nostalgic, and in terms of site performance... definitely turned out to be the correct decision.<a href="https://thenewleafjournal.com/slow-leaf-journal-outgrowing-cheap-hosting/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thenewleafjournal.com/slow-leaf-journal-outgrowing-cheap-hosting/</a><a href="https://linuxrocks.online/tags/WordPress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WordPress</a> <a href="https://linuxrocks.online/tags/WebHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebHosting</a> <a href="https://linuxrocks.online/tags/VPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VPS</a> <a href="https://linuxrocks.online/tags/Bluehost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluehost</a> <a href="https://linuxrocks.online/tags/Dialogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dialogue</a>

djangoWell <a href="https://social.coop/tags/bluehost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluehost</a> has changed their whole admin panel, and hidden the zone-editor.No longer under Domains, You need to go to Hosting, select a website -> Settings -> Advanced DNS EditorDocumentation isn't updated so, maybe this will save someone time 🤷

Mark McClelland<a href="https://bigshoulders.city/tags/Bluehost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluehost</a> acquired the smaller hosting provider I've been using for about 25 years. They didn't even contact me to inform me they had taken over my domains and websites. Now my sites have been down all morning, and the web-based control panel for my domains is also erroring out. Huge sigh of disappointment, frustration, and dread at the prospect of migrating everything.Image by Dall-E.

John ReganUpdate - it is mod_security. The agent allowlisted the specific inbox URL throwing the 406 error which... Kinda fixes it, for that one account. Tried to get it expanded to cover all URLs under /wp-json/activitypub but they would only do specific URLs. I'd love it if this could reach a higher-up or engineer at BlueHost. <a href="https://gamethattune.club/tags/wordpress" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordpress</a> <a href="https://gamethattune.club/tags/bluehost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluehost</a> <a href="https://gamethattune.club/tags/activitypub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activitypub</a> <a href="https://gamethattune.club/tags/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> RE: <a href="https://gamethattune.club/notes/9ky54h7lvqf6us6e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gamethattune.club/notes/9ky54h7lvqf6us6e</a>

John ReganDoes anybody have experience with BlueHost and using the ActivityPub plugin for Wordpress? I strongly suspect that they're using Apache's mod_security to block the "application/activity+json" content type - which means I can't actually follow anything. Reaching out to their support has been unsuccessful, I thought this would be an easy thing to set up. <a href="https://gamethattune.club/tags/wordpress" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordpress</a> <a href="https://gamethattune.club/tags/bluehost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluehost</a> <a href="https://gamethattune.club/tags/activitypub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activitypub</a> <a href="https://gamethattune.club/tags/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a>
