Fully automated weeky backups with 1 month kept set up using https://whmbackup.solutions/ & https://bunny.net/storage/

How can Level3 have an 84 % package loss btw?

I would love to fully automate managing all my servers but I just haven't fell in love with ansible as all the other fans have mentioned. In a sense, I would love to have something fully managed and safe so I can just work on what matters to me but it is just so difficult to trust providers to do it right and the only litmus test is to wait for a moment went something goes down which could be years later.

I believe they deprioritize ICMP on their routers and oversell them like VolumeDrive trying to sell unmetered gigabit. They're pretty trash, but it's just ICMP.

They seems to be using Jelastic (I recognize the marketing content and even some images from Jelastic marketing content)

Can confirm you're right, at least partly.

Just created my first ticket for unblockning my IP in WHM/cPanel and the ticket page said: "For MG PaaS (Jelastic) Services please address your support request to PaaS Department."

This one time I had an ISP that was pure Level 3.

It was a delight. Absolutely the best internet I've ever had. I would have paid extra just to get access to Level 3's network.

This was also before Level 3 was bought out by CenturyLink (now Lumen).

Sad days. They've fallen so far.

I like my current approach, I'm well aware of risks but I've got redundant WHM backups running so worst case I sign up to any reseller hosting with WHM and send them my files, and point DNS to the new place. Sure would be annoying, but I think it's unlikely and if it does happen it's not the end of the world.

My ticket was solved in like 2 minutes. First a reply that they're looking into it and seconds later a reply that it's fixed, asking me to see that it works. Very nice first impression.
