    It was good while it lasted @Francisco @Harambe thank you.
    Will existing people be grandfathered in - I sent a few customers your way over the years.

    Yep? We're not forcing anyone off anything. We'll def. try to bribe people over.

    Its a tough one to keep supporting. On $8/year we're getting, at best, like $6 or so. If its an international payment we're getting closer to $5. On that we're having to cover all of the hosting and support load. We've also had more than once where some $8/year customer is phishing/DDOS target, and now other customers get upset and leave.

    That doesn't mean we won't do deals on here, our new product is going to turn at least a few heads, but for hosting we'll want to be more careful.

    is it possible to detach each location's mxfilter? EU still go though las vegas if mxfilter is on,makes eu lack of independence

  • @Francisco @Harambe is the shared hosting email the same as the separate cranemail you offer?

    nice. @Francisco

    "Docs - Edit documents and spreadsheets right in OnlyOffice."

    if it were still possible to edit files within one's organization or domain, that would really be the ultimate killer feature. could you set that up somehow (even without smartmail)?

    does this work? i just can't seem to get it to work at all. i really just want to change the background image (to start with).

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    It works but the background is a tough one. You have to inject JavaScript to change it.

    Why not brand workspace.org? If you’re on a reseller you can change everything.

    We're doing some work behind the scenes. Existing domains are unaffected, so check back soon._

    When's it going live?

    i do not have a reseller package just normal package. so that means it doesn't really work with a regular package?

    Yeah, sorry. Branding is restricted to resellers only.

  • A bit late but new site looks great, a faster than old site and easier to navigate.

    Looking forward to BF.

  • Whens BF?

  • What happened at namecrane.com between November 6-9, 2026?
    Individual user with few needs for a low volume, low traffic professional's site or 2 or 3, maybe plus email. Namecrane seemed ideal as a low-cost provider.
    I contacted support for plan suggestions.
    “Hello,
    You can choose our DA 15G plan:
    https://namecrane.com/store/da-shared-hosting/da-shared-15g”
    11/9/26: The link is broken and the main webpage and entire site looks completely redone with plans that seem 2-3 times more expensive. The DA 15G plan does not seem to exist anymore. Still no reply to my FU email to support. No warning of any price increases either.
    Anyone else notice this or have comments?

    Semi-retired now and a few planned sites to offer assistance to others, mostly via links, and a few sites looking for some part-time projects to work on. Not even sure I need a contact "form", as email would be just fine. As a professional, like an engineer, physicist, educator, etc., no need for a fancy website. In fact, a very conservative set of sites would be great. Even a site like:
    radiopaedia.org
    would be fancy for my goals. Not sure I even need wordpress or similar web making software, but glad for suggestions.

    Any suggestions for low priced hosting plans?
    Thx in advance

    You should enable branding for lifetime packages.

    You can whitelabel it, just not brand it.

    Makes it too easy for people to resell on their lifetimes. We have to keep something exclusive for resellers besides API + modules.

  • If you really care just rent a cheap VPS and build your own frontend that proxies to SmarterMail API

    @Francisco When are the Black Friday deals for 2026 expected to be released? I’m planning to purchase a lifetime plan for CraneMail.

    Nothing changes. There’s no new deals for cranemail this year. Use the cranemail site :)

    A new yearly 400GB or 500GB email package would be awesome for this year.

    I honestly don't expect Mike to do any new mail plans. I'll bring it up, who knows.

    We do have something else in the works unrelated to mail, that will be eating up a bunch of our Black Friday bandwidth though :)

  • @Francisco said: You can whitelabel it, just not brand it.

    what does that mean? and how does "whitelabeling" works for non-reselling packages?

    you can dm details! thanks. :)

    Whitelabel would be you point your own domain at workspace.org, and it will fetch an SSL and all that. You can't brand it though with your colours/images.

    Whitelabel means that I can do something like workspace.mydomain.tld, isn't it? Also I would love to be able to customize the MX records in mx.mydomain.tld as well, I am asking too much? :disappointed:

    Later edit: I just saw this one but I still want the custom MX records!
