Guys have he tried turning on and off the server?
Sir stop trolling. Only serious answers allowed here, or you scare off some people.
You really talk a lot without saying anything.
I actually asked for advice many years ago. But instead of just giving advice, someone took his free time and wrote a script for me. Out of the blue, without me even asking.

People here used to be friendly, and I also tried to be friendly and helpful to others. Now. Now we have you.
Aww man, I am really sorry you can't find people to write some script for you anymore for free on a public board made up by random strangers on web
It seems you have reading difficulties.
Prick won't give up. Just let it go...
When I review the thread I think it is a bit unnecessarily prolonged, nobody supports anyone for free in these days. I experienced this myself before Tarisu, I helped people with small things in my freelance work and it went to the point of my good intentions being abused. I am responding on my own behalf, not on behalf of my company.
A customer doesn't look at who you help or what you do (I don't include scams or other cases), people look at your investments, your system and the support you provide to your customers. I don't think a friendly approach to users or a sincere approach with “meme” will harm anyone. Today's internet is very advanced, we can solve any problem very simply with AI or a simple google search before asking someone.
@tarisu it's actually quite simple: if someone asks you for help and you can't or don't want to help, just don't be a dick about it.
No one's being blamed for not being able or not wanting to help. I'm raising my voice mainly because people are being dicks toward a fellow human who simply asked for help.
I know he could have asked better, gave more info about the issues, etc., but it is what it is. Not everyone is well versed in these things or knows his way around.
Anyway, with a bit of goodwill, this issue has been solved...
I don't think it's about intention, the majority of people who get this information have searched for hours and hours to find the information they need, and while searching for this information, they have learned good details and want someone else to realize the same. When we research a topic, we also get different information about that topic, which is natural. This is just what they said in this thread with sense of humor.
Maybe they do, that is great for someone with a background with the means to invest from the start.
Maybe I learnt and earned everything the hard way, starting my business from zero. I worked as a free support agent in return for a cPanel reseller back in 2015 following a accident that left me disabled, during recovery I self taught myself basic server skills as sitting in front of my PC was what I could manage, I helped that company on support and got a cPanel reseller in exchange, built that to earn a small income, bought my first node with OVH with the profits, expanded a few more nodes, moved to a more provider friendly supplier.
You might claim people see investment, that is perfectly true but someone who had nothing to start with, nothing to invest and taught myself everything I respect people, since that costs nothing, I also respect people who are new to servers, maybe cannot afford to pay high tech fees because when I started I could not afford anything and that taught me a great deal.
I have seen you on a lot of threads posting AI images to troll, maybe that is your attempt at humour but when someone needs a helping hand there is no need to be a total idiot about it. If you or won't help then ignore the post, no need to prove you wish to feel full of self importance on a forum.
I would rather keep my self respect and have people if they do any type of background research before ordering see a helpful, supportive and someone behind the company as a good person.
You can claim "I am responding as myself not the company" all you like, if you are in a work place or on the way to work or way home and still in the companies uniform and act a fool, people still will associate you with that company and attach your actions to that company.
Just food for thought
Like, how can anyone help without you providing more details.
i'm here!
I can vouch for that. I am your customer exactly for that reason. There were multiple options to consider, but the interaction in the forum and helping hand in prior cases to lead me towards xhosts.
Agreed with @Mumbly here. Last time in threads like this, me and an other poster did provide solution but in sea of "meme" posts, it got lost. Atleast people should keep the thread clean if not helping.
It's quite frustrating when developers are asked for help with little information and no compensation. Either you pay for the assistance, or you provide as much information as possible.
in addition to the joking and moralistic statements here, i must solemnly state that a yabs is actually always useful and necessary. on the one hand, you learn more about the system concerned and on the other hand, many people crave geekbench scores of 3500+ or under 100 in order to feel excitement or horror.
no time
You are free to ignore those requests.
In stackoverflow, when I was new, I have met many veteran devs which went to length in order to explain something.
They did, not because they expected something in return but because they wanted to help as a community.
Many chose not to do so because I didn't put that question up for bounty. And they are also justified in their reasons to ignore.
But atleast they didn't pollute the question.
Yep. Exactly. It's global. Trolling and meme nonsense is super toxic. Some believe they are not trolls and are doing some kind of good for the forum members and having popcorn drama fun, but they do more damage than good while not having the full context and story on what they are bashing.
well, providers who snoop on their customers' data (ftp storage) also cause damage. this violates the most important thing, namely trust. there may be trolling, but destroyed trust is fatal.
For trust to be established, it is a 2 way relationship. A customer that places explicitly AUP disallowed content publicly on the service violating AUP well knowingly doing so is the first case of violating of trust. It's different to host their public content and find they have violated AUP. I repeat, trolling with assumptions without full context and story around the issues do more damage than good.
so, his problem solved?
yup, @xHosts did it
Yes, was legacy vs UEFI only in the bios. @xHosts helped him
Look, you shouldn't stretch it far.
Even in justice system, when evidences against crime are obtained illegally, those evidences are not admissible for a reason.
Misleading advertisement to non savy tech users is another mistake from you on the top. They were under the impression that they were buying FTP storage and NOT shared hosting.
IIRC, you have been warned about that behavior earlier also.
So you shouldn't take this opportunity as holier than thou and force your criticism thread in to the same domain as this thread. That's very unethical, malicious of you to paint both the same by same color.
As in one of my replies, some people cannot afford to pay $100 or more on a sunday night for something that took 5 minutes. I can see both sides of the coin.
While many businesses sometimes see $100 as nothing my personal background makes me respect people who come from the less fortunate background. I worked and fought hard to build everything that I have from literally nothing, that is why now I am happy to give someone 5 minutes of my time to fix a tiny issue, people remember someone who goes out of their way to help them but even more so they remember people who just act like a child that is showing off to his mates.
The ones who spend tike making their AI meme to feel cool could have solved the issue and had a thanks from the person in the time it took to make their meme.
I guess that is what splits the user base
I would prefer trolling instead of getting caught scanning your customers’ file and then claim every one is trolling because you don’t like what they say.
Then you go to providers chat and cry there some more so.
As I try to deal less with your messages. Just wanted to add @hosthatch was right about their comments about you.
First of all, I do not require any validation from you.
Nor I quoted any of your posts. My post was an appreciation post towards @xHosts and I don't see a reason why a third party will/should get offended.
