    Addy.io , been using their free tier for a couple months now and it's been great. Definitely a steal for 7$/year.

    That looks interesting, but the$7.20/yr discounted plan has a 100MB/month BW limit. Wouldn't that get wiped out if you get several emails with photos attached? Such as if you used it for something like emailing people to buy stuff on Craigslist.

    If you are sending/recieving lots of emails with heavy attachments it will definitely hit 100mb in a week or less. In that case I recommend simplelogin which is unlimited. For average user this 100 mb is more than enough, I even rarely hit 10 mb limit on free tier, let alone 100 mb.

    Thanks for the feedback! Already knew about the dns thing as I asked that in a ticket a while ago. Yeah, might just sign up for it depending on deals etc. Which package did you get? Phpmem of 128MB or what it was seems awfully low though.
    Could just get another vps instead, but the overhead of managing and securing the vps, plus free plesk with the webhosting makes me lean towards the webhosting .

    I got the smallest version, 5GB disk space. I am on their Plesk12 node. My PHP Memory is 384M.

    Their BlackFriday sale has started. Coupon e96mVzFS will give you 40% off on lifetime Webspace. I think the coupon is valid for next 12 hours, not sure though. And if you wait another 90 mins, they going to publish 35% off coupon code for lifetime VPS.

    If anyone's considering netcup deals, here's how their x10 CPU root server compares to x14 CPU VPS, root server comes first:

    Might get a third ZAP Hosting Lifetime vps, or just get their lifetime plesk webspace. They are likely gonna do a discount for lifetime products too.

    I've got one.

    They have disabled the 'DNS Hosting' section in their plesk webspace. You can point your domain to the IP or CNAME to the default plesk page domain. But you won't be able to to use their plesk nameservers and change dns records.

    In addition to that if the shared IP is blacklisted, then you are out of luck. They won't move you to a different node just because of the current blacklisted IP. They say their internal team takes care of de-listing the IP from blacklists, but the one I raised around 8 months ago is still not done. Even though they advertise you can have X number of mailboxes for each package, when you raise a support ticket about the blacklisted IP, they'll tell you their plesk hosting is not meant for sending emails.

    Apart from that, the hosting works alright. The performance is good and I haven't experienced any downtime. If there's any planned maintainance, they notify you about the dates/timings. I use it as a backup for couple of my low-traffic sites.

    Thanks for the feedback! Already knew about the dns thing as I asked that in a ticket a while ago. Yeah, might just sign up for it depending on deals etc. Which package did you get? Phpmem of 128MB or what it was seems awfully low though.
    Could just get another vps instead, but the overhead of managing and securing the vps, plus free plesk with the webhosting makes me lean towards the webhosting .

    It's 30% on lifetime Rootservers until 17:00 now

    Just wanted to say thank you, I was able to get a lifetime windows vps just in time which is a huge lifeline for me as sometimes I need access to windows from my phone so having it active 24/7 is fantastic.

    Is there any catches you know about like leaving it idle to long that kinda thing ?

    Congrats! Yeah, also very happy with my lifetime vps and rootserver with them :) Now the lifetime webspace is 40% off, so gonna get that, too :D

    Regarding your question: you need to login to zap and open the dashboard of your lifetime products at least each 3 months (check tos). If you dont open it for a longer time it will first get deactivated then after another 4 weeks warning period deleted forever.

    That said, they send you reminders like this, so it's hard to miss. Also if it gets suspended/deactivated you will also get another warning I'm sure.

    Hello Ympker,

    We have discovered that you have not accessed your lifetime product Lifetime Linux vServer - #00000 via our web interface since October 19, 2023.

    In order to avoid consequences for your product, you must log into your ZAP account within the next 30 days (i.e. by December 18th, 2023) and access the administrative overview of the package, otherwise the service you have booked will be blocked!
    If the service is blocked, we will contact you again by email. Please note that the next step after blocking is to delete your product!

    If you have any questions, you can contact our support at any time.

    Best regards,

    your ZAP hosting team

    Thank you so much their site is a bit of a mess so couldn't find information on it, but login every few months seems fair

    Both of my lifetime vps with them are behaving nicely :)

    Hetrix Monitor:

    Hoping the webspace will be the same haha :D It was on discount again, so I snagged it now @netsujit

  • Filen, pCloud, Koofr all running lifetime subs.

    I would personally rank them in the order Filen > Koofr >> pCloud when it comes to feature. But Koofr (Mac) app is kinda worse than pCloud.

    I thought I'll upgrade my existing 5GB webspace to 20GB using the BF code. But they are smart. They have disabled coupon code use on upgrades B)

    Isn't Filen the slowest in speed among the three?

    Tried the free account, toooo sloww!!

  • @kidrock said: Isn't Filen the slowest in speed among the three?

    For it was the second fasted. pCloud fastest, Filen, then Koofr. But feature and app wise I ranked them the way I did and for my use case which is backup, not sync. Filen has out of the box backup feature.

    Can Filen be used as a substitute of free Google Drive to back up and sync files/photos between Android mobile, Windows PC and cloud?

    I've been happy with my rootserver so far, but the OS versions are really outdated (Debian 10 and Ubuntu 18; Ubuntu apparently has a broken image). However, with full-upgrade command I was easily able to upgrade from Debian 10 to 11 ( https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/update-upgrade-debian-10-to-debian-11-bullseye/ ).

    ONE THING TO NOTE: You can upgrade specs like RAM, Disk Space and Mbit/s later, but you CAN NOT change the CPU model later. I went with the older/cheaper cpu model, thinking I'd be able to upgrade later. In hindsight, I'd choose the better CPU model right from the get-go. Not because mine is bad, but because you can't upgrade it later.

    You can also use netboot.xyz to install Ubuntu 20/22/23, or Debian via VNC. It takes a while but there's a nice guide from @netsujit in the OP here: Click

    Once you know how it's done it's quite easy, too. And you got a kvm lifetime vps :)

    This is a YABS from rootserver from @sgheghele (I didn't find the one I posted lol):

    It gives 10GB if that is what you meant to ask.

    How the sync modes work? Here https://www.reddit.com/r/filen_io/comments/zfxgri/what_is_the_differnce_between_these/

    See if that is what you meant to ask
