Because some people might not want others to look their sites A record and see what looks like a massive list of sites and assume their using a cheap shared hosting plan. You have better control over the image given for the site. This has value when using a shared plan for a low traffic business site.
I literally work with sites and seo and I have never ever considered sharing IPs an issue. You seem to have a weird fetish for clean IPs.
On that note you can also take an IP for a web-designer and determine all of their clients and their URLs along with the styles that are being re-used. If anything you would want a dedicated IP to isolate your clients from each other and also you on such a public medium as the internet.
I am kink-shame
That's really spesific and not even the case. You get one IP per package. Not per account. A reseller would have 1 IP.
Multiple domains on a single IP does not always mean cheap hosting, considering the availability of IPv4 addresses. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just being naive and a tad bit out of touch with reality.
Also, you should never ever do a reverse lookup on an IP belonging to a cloudflare reverse proxy. Also, advise your clients to never do that either, else they risk getting scarred for life.
It was an old belief.
When Windows XP was the norm, SSL needed a dedicated IP. So it was normal to think websites needed dedicated IP.
In true LET fashion things have gotten really off topic. I get you're point and frankly for this price point the IP is just additional icing on the cake and something I enjoy having.
My reasons don't have to make sense to anyone other than me and my wallet
Also don't Kink Shame my clean IP fetish. Clean IPs are the best kind of IPs.
Please explain the CF part. What kinds of sites are we talking?
Well handled, and solid pricing. I'd buy Fran a beer or two for how well he runs his hosting -- which amounts to what the increase is per year.
Where I live a beer is like $10 but sure.
You need a source of Low End Beer.
[8:34 PM] Francisco: for shared stuff
[8:34 PM] Francisco: we'll be doing a resource bump as well
[8:34 PM] Francisco: - all plans will go unlimited BW
[8:34 PM] Francisco: - the 1GB space plan will go to 2GB
[8:34 PM] Francisco: - the 5GB will go to 10GB
[8:34 PM] Francisco: - the 20GB will go to 30GB
I'll get the email out in the morning and the resources should apply by this weekend.
Francisco
Very reasonable change for the pricing Fran. Well done. This hurts everybody sadly.
I'm speechless... That. Was. Fast.
I'm guessing this will be for new accounts as well? And can we expect a bump in resources for reseller account too?
Base reseller pricing isn't changing, only the per account pricing is being added. Resellers are getting a different resource bump in the form of a scaling RAM & inode increase, as well as unlimited bandwidth on all resellers.
The resource change for new and old accounts will apply this week. If you ordered today it'd show up in a couple days when I mass apply it to everyone else.
Francisco
@Francisco, I'm not sure if you're at liberty to divulge it, but how many sub-accounts does your largest single reseller account hold? You know, just to satisfy my
sadisticcuriosityI wrote an audit script to do some quick count ups and averages and such, but the highest account had nearly 500 subs under it. Was impressive.
Francisco
I wonder what's the guy thinking right now (or when they get the email), LOL!
$7 maximum, I guess it helps.
I talked to him a bit after he stopped sobbing into his keyboard.
For people like him, they really should move to DA unless they're 100% dead set on using cPanel. Our Slices + DA and some other goodies we're about to post up are just too good.
Francisco
Oh, by all means, let it slip.
WOW. the sooner the better with DA. hope your team gets acquainted with DA and so we too can try our hands on it and expand our offerings at same LET price
I'm just a $5 plan user but I'm ready to move to DA or whatever just to get away from cpanel.
I use buyshared reseller and the service has been absolutely amazing but I'd love to be to moved to DA soon.
I just use cPanel reseller accounts for isolated testing of some open source scripts, So I don't have any paying customers.
I volunteer to be the first guinea pig for cPanel to DA migration!
Speaking of resources are the limits for:
for each plan listed somewhere ?
I have been using 1G shared in luxembourg for 2 years. Before that I was long time reseller user of BuyShared in Las Vegas. After what cPanel has done, I believe this is a fair increase. Fran and his team are doing a good job. Whenever they are fine with switching to DA, I will fully support them.
Considering that they are basically just passing along the increased cost hard to argue it isn't fair.
I wish my current shared provider did the same thing.
Hope so - just got the dreaded email.
