Hostmantis won't honor active recurring promotional code

TimboJones

Last time I migrated cpanel for two sites like 5 years ago, there were database naming limitations so a bunch of website code for database names needed to be hunted down and fixed. Are there still naming limitations when importing from provider to provider these days? I can see issues like that killing any cost savings moving to other providers and more than just a nameservers update.

As it turns out communication error on my part, but in a good way.

I asked them to activate remote destinations on the wrong account, the account they did activate it for was DirectAdmin. So I guess that answers the question that it is actually available for DA. It does say in JetBackup it is an experimental feature at the moment but still promising.

Although really don't like the storage method used by JetBackup 5.

woohoo

Never experienced that, although you could migrate and change your hosts file or use skipdns to preview and just not proceed if it dosen't work.

SSH/Rsync is still a hassle vs simply adding your own destination to JetBackup.

No what I meant is Jetbackup using the SSH option, works with Rsync.

Many users have written over the internet about them that The moment you gain traffic they'll suspend your account for using (abusing: in their words) resources.

So Host keep the money & suspend the account = less users per server = servers are fast = good reviews from idlers = more signups... that's the trap!

I think it's true, 2 of my account got suspended over resource abuse. website getting just 2k hit per day.
