  • Hey there everyone,

    I've read all the comments, still in touch with @jar to see if there are any remaining parts / logins left, I believe everything was sent accordingly.

    No job still, but @jar, and two other LET members have been amazing to me financially so I was able to pay last month's rent. On the job hunting, hopefully I can land a job this month.

    Thank you for the kind words everyone, and criticism is always welcome when it's in good faith - definitely learned some lessons here.

    I don't want to say just how much of that was one user's web server logs 🤣 (Hint: it's more than 1TB)

    And user backups most likely... I have a nice script to clean up space.

    @jar used to offer shared hosting once upon a time under the brand name mxshared.com
    I was a customer back in 2017 :tongue:

    I've been out of the web hosting game for a bit and while it's not even remotely unfamiliar territory, inheriting someone else's setup has been a struggle.

    For example, I received a ticket that presented to me as though it was a problem with Litespeed (it wasn't), and I have almost no experience with Litespeed. So my thought was "Let's bring this config closer to something I'm familiar with." So, of course, first thing to do is revert to Apache with Event MPM and php-fpm. And there goes server load through the roof. Maybe Nginx reverse proxy to Apache so we get that caching layer? Nope there's that load. And because the load was so high, it took about 45 minutes to change the web server each time. So basically multi hour outage (I swapped some PHP settings along the way also and rebuilt everything relevant at each step, so it was more than just 1x Apache, 1x Nginx, and 1x back to Litespeed). I honestly had no idea that Litespeed could be the difference between a server falling over from being far over capacity, and it being perfectly fine and not over capacity.

    It's definitely going to be a bit longer before I feel like the boss of these boxes.

    thanks. just keep that litespeed server ON.

  • @jar The extra time provided for migrations has been invaluable! Thank you for the lifeboat!...

    Personally I would probably send out a message that MyW is being retired and a new hosting company will be created, then give everyone the option to convert to reasonably priced plans like $5-$8 a year for existing 2-5gb shared plans and $15-20 a year for existing 10-20gb reseller plans.

    I say this because there's probably a lot of plans that have already migrated away and you might just end up hosting a ton of useless data and sites.

    I'll collapse all of these lifetime into servers with more capacity and then keep going. There's probably one customer I'm going to pay off to leave though. The one that generated over 1TB in web server logs and not from errors, from traffic.

    There's gotta be a TOS limit for that one user. Sounds like they definitely got their money's worth. Although a few good users might be interested in converting anyway if it means priority resources for very reasonable prices.

    I believe clearly communicated and enforced limits on shared resources are necessary yet were missing on the lifetime offers

    Just a silent observer slightly affected by myw myself

  • Thank you @jar . I have a lifetime package with wndp. Thanks for the rescue.

    @MikePT have you found a job yet bro? I have found jobs via WHT jobs ad forum. Please post a thread there. Employers also post job ads there.

    Ive immensely benefited from your lifetime package. Please do let me know if I can be of any help.

    Cheers and good luck!

    Taking a while. I guess it's a ticket to php-friends I don't know what else to do here. It's not even really a ticket it's a contact form and guess what server Mike's email is hosted on, which is the contact email for that account... WDE1. I hate this.

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran
    edited October 2024

    So to recap:

    1. WDE1 is down. All I know. I have no IPMI or anything like that to my knowledge.
    2. PHP-Friends has a contact form instead of a ticket system. They'll email me back at an email hosted on WDE1.
    3. I changed account email but "We have received your changes and will finally incorporate them into our system after reviewing them"
    4. I changed NS for the domain that has that email on it, breaking god only knows what, but I need support... and openprovider will surely push that NS change upstream before I die of old age.

    I think the invoice was past due and I paid it but honestly I can't read shit on this panel. Even translating it from German I'm still confused about practically everything.

    Just wondering: are you using the following interface?

    Yeah. This is my first time since a drive by invoice payment when I first got the login. Probably makes a lot more sense to someone who went through the proper onboarding path.

    Well I guess when you reach the end of what you can do you just... Grab a red bull and play some PS5.

    I'm really not going to be happy with this brand until I feel like everything is mine and it's all within my comfort zone.
