Fresh & hot price increase from iFastNet is here :eyes:

I checked and the prices are the same as the below image if you go to the Premium Hosting page on iFastNetā€™s website and uncheck ā€œFree Domainsā€. It always costs $1 more if you order a plan with free domains included as well.

Ah yeah, the ā€œfreeā€ domain that I always forget :melting_face:

Time to dug up some old topics :smiley:


This one. What does this code do is to let $feelBetter become true (which always return true), rather than comparing them, effectively limiting the use of the code to identify whether one is still OK after drinking all that beer :eyes:


Ah yes, one of my first topics. I pretty much believe that I forgot to tell you guys impersonation is more than just common here at China. Itā€™s everywhere :person_shrugging:
My English feels so bad back then

If you uncheck the ā€œfreeā€ domain name, you will see the same pricing as whatā€™s on our panel. You get $1 per month discount if you get the plan without ā€œfreeā€ domain.

Yes, Iā€™m fully aware of the irony and have confronted iFastNet about it, but I wasnā€™t able to get the point across.

on my linux mint I typed date --help in the terminal and down in the format control options I saw this :stuck_out_tongue:
%S second (00..60)

I now wonder how many linux distros have this mistake

oh its probably not a mistake but its to show the correct value for another mistake called leap seconds :stuck_out_tongue:

I wish the world ran on normal exact time instead of this leap nonsense

heres an interesting quirk on infinityfree

recently a member accidentally deleted their .htaccess in / see this post

and although everthing still functions (index.php, index.html, index2.html, error pages) without the .htaccess there is one thing that doesnt and that is the two .css files fail to load because the secure connection has failed !

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://404tutorial.com/2.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://404tutorial.com/1.css">

was this always the case and I never noticed or something weird happening because .htaccess is missing ?

So the rule is, when HTTPS is not working, suspect a SSL certificate issue first. It has expired 2 days ago.

Overdue invoices?

I was wondering why no websites are working on my device

Until I realized that I literarily just unplugged my DNS server (Yes, I use my own DNS ā€œserverā€ running on my computer.) :stuck_out_tongue:

Both sites are currently working for me, although TTL has a horrible load time for some reason. Are you still experiencing the issue?

EDIT: Looking though my overflowing inbox (just got back from a trip), looks like there was a 7.5 hr outage (presumably when the suspended message showed).

I am aware of why it happened (yes, itā€™s invoice related), however I believed my hosting provider had adequately adjusted the system after a conversation we had. Obviously that did not happen, but I am assuming someone took action to get it back up, so Iā€™m happy :slight_smile:

Apparently no, but the load time is also pretty short for me. I donā€™t know why did you see "horrible TTL"s.

It looks like it is better now, but when I first tested it, it was about 3-4 seconds.

Just a month away and this was already too overwhelming for me :sob:

I know that the nav menu as well as the carousel is dragging my siteā€™s speed & stability way too much, but now I donā€™t even know where to startā€¦


Oh, and by the way, Iā€™ve made a stupid calculator :slight_smile:


Actually, I gave up. Just activated a block theme and use that godd*mn Gutenberg :person_shrugging:

Chatting with my friend and he told me that his 2C2G VPS sometimes crashes because it simply cannot run MySQL well.

I didnā€™t believe it. So I proceed to create an AlmaLinux 9 VM with the exact same specs and stress tested it with 1200 concurrent connections per second. While the CPU was fully acquired, its far from crashing, and no, the RAM isnā€™t fully consumed. (Itā€™s only at 1.2G)

It turns out that he is just believing whatever sh*t that rubbish Chinese control panel throw at him. His server did crashed before (And he said itā€™s because of RAM), but honestly I donā€™t see a reason. In fact Iā€™m willing to suspect that the panel is the reason why did the server crashed in the first place.

This is the story of how a poorly designed control panel could ruin your entire website journey.


By the way, I know someone here that do have a VPS with 2GB of RAM. Is 2GB really just that incapable?

MySQL has a LOT of knobs to turn to adjust performance and resource consumption. If you configure MySQL to use a more memory than what is available, it may crash because the system runs out of memory. If you configure MySQL to use less memory, then you wonā€™t have that issue, but if you configure it too low you may be leaving performance on the table.

Your provider may even be overselling RAM. It doesnā€™t happen a lot I think because it probably would be quite noticeable from the VPS, but a cheap and/or greedy VPS provider might be doing that too.

Side node about this: this could be caused both by how memory usage is tuned, but also the size of the data set. 1200 concurrent connections is a lot, but if those connections only interact with <100 MB of data, then there is simply not enough data to fill multiple GB of memory.

It sounds more like the story of how having your own server while having no idea how to manage it and trusting that installing a control panel means it will magically maintain your entire server and making it run perfectly is just not how it works.

I have VPS smaller than that, and those are quite capable of doing the things I need them to do.

You can host (I know I have) a full LAMP stack on 2 GB of RAM, as long as youā€™re considerate of the limits, tune things well, or just donā€™t have too complex a site with too much traffic.
