Customers complaining about an outage - yeah, we got those as a good chunk of our hosting services were geared specifically at eCommerce. The good news is that on our eCommerce line, we limited the machines to 15-20 accounts depending on Memory allocation. So when there was an outage like that...

Memory is a big deal, but one of the hardest lessons we learned was not having hot-swap drives. We had 50 machines, and none of them had hot-swap ability. So when a drive started to fail, in order for us to swap out the drive we had to shut down the server, open the machine, add in the new drive...

Looks great, and that swap to the light background makes a world of difference. The only suggestion would be maybe to make it an off-white, but I like it! When you change modes and move to a new page, does it remember the mode? Also, was this a plugin that you used or something hard-coded in...

I used to use phpBB probably 15 or 20 years ago, same with vBulletin. It seems many of the bigger forum sites have moved to XenForo (this forum included). I did find XenForo a little complicated to extend with custom modules, etc., but once I got the hang of their system, it worked pretty well...

Ah, great. Yes, as long as you have the text, that's good. For FAQ, any product page that can include a FAQ is more content that the systems can use. As you thought, it should be tailored to the page itself. If they want to read the About page, they'll go there for basic info and FAQs, but if...

I strongly recommend that all our clients NOT opt out of the AI Overviews. Heck, I had two phone calls this morning that found us one via Google's Overviews and one via ChatGPT AI. I think Cloudflare is also doing its clients an injustice by automatically opting them out of the various AI...

Looks cleaner for sure! Be careful about removing the text boxes that you had originally for web hosting, email hosting etc. Those paragraphs are key items that search engines love to read. While you move to a bullet-point setup, it can potentially hurt your overall seo as you've pretty much...

Every tool and script has its own quirks. Heck, the instructions I wrote for ChatGPT here are well outdated, as they were written for GPT-4. We're now using GPT-5.6 Sol, and it does a little better in some areas. The instructions provided earlier this year would definitely need to be tweaked for...

From a gaming perspective, I've never once sold a game to someone else. Every game I've ever had has ended up in the trash. Yes, there are some that only worked on Windows 95 and wouldn't work on newer computers, but at that stage I generally trashed the disk and bought the new compatible...

The short answer for me is no. I'd let automation flag all the domains that are potentially "do not renew" and then do a manual review. So if I'm auditing what domains I have, here's how I think it would flow; Export all domains from providers with renewal dates and renewal status. Dump all...

I usually leave it in Business mode, with a few minor tweaks, but it catches everything I write wrong. From bad grammar to bad spelling, missing spaces, writing "shoudl" rather than "should," and removing the apostrophe from "you're" to "you are." When it's a casual message, "your" is fine, but...

I use the big 3 - ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. From coding to logging they each play a role. Oftentimes, if I'm creating a script/plugin, I'll have Claude take a run through it to verify things, then turn around and have ChatGPT check what Claude suggested, and then continue through the various...

I watched the video, and the demo looked pretty slick too. I like that you can change either via text or using the wysiwyg interface by just clicking on the word and changing. That's very "WIX" like, but still clean and easy to use. Swapping out colors, etc, is all pretty easy to do. Overall, I...

Internal links are always overlooked it seems. If your website is already in a good place, a handful of internal links can outrank other websites. We do very few backlinks on our own site - I don't know the last time I reached out to someone for a link, but I do know that I recently had a post...

The biggest impact that we saw had to do with owning servers vs. renting servers. We had 50+ servers that we physically owned and were located in a data center 40 minutes away. This is a problem when a failure happens, and you have to drive to fix something, or hot-swap a drive, etc. The...
