Not at all, I only got the notification 2 hours ago! (Although Discourse was a couple days late delivering it as I joined on the 12th and only got the badge today).
Thank you everyone!

Me, using multiple Discourse features in an Informal topic because it is still new to me.
| My Comments | Sample 1 | Sample 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Nice! A Table feature | If your site’s domain was recently created | If your site’s domain has been active for more than 72 hours |
| I wonder how many things this could be used for | Wait until your site’s domain is propagated by DNS Propagation. | If you see a blank page |
| Maybe this: | Turn on Display PHP errors in Control Panel | |
| If you see a 404 or 403 page | ||
| Make sure you have a valid index.html or index.php file |
How long has it been since you used the Poll feature?

Is it me, or does it seem like every MOFH reseller uses a name that must contain the word “free” in it? After my recent discovery of Cpanelfree, which immediately gives away the fact it’s a MOFH reseller from the fact they show their vPanel on the front page, I looked into other MOFH resellers, and they all seem to contain the word “free” in their brand name.
11/23/2024. That was the day I signed up for InfinityFree. Hasn’t been long since I signed up, but it feels like I’ve used the service for a long time. I guess this service is that good.
iFastNet still says they offer CloudFlare RailGun on some of their pages. Did they forget to change those?

These pages is where I found that they say they still offer RailGun. Also, some pages have “Coding” spelled with an extra D. Hopefully @ifastnet notices this soon.

“By default PHP 5.4 is installed” anyone know if that’s still true? Support ended for 5.4 almost 10 years ago, so that’d be quite concerning if true. Granted it’s a VPS and they probably expect you to install something different, but installing a vulnerable, outdated programming language by default wouldn’t be a good idea.
Also, the pages for business hosting and WHM reseller hosting both say that the most recent PHP version they support is 7.0.

I didn’t even notice that! I was more focused on spelling mistakes, which also made me spot the RailGun thing 
Well, I hope they change that!
Server 1, AKA the only dedicated server option
PHP 5.4 on this one too.
Coding spelling mistake again
CentOS 6? Hmm…

TBF, the VPS offering is not great.
It uses OpenVZ 7, which is technically containerization, not full virtualization. That means you’re stuck with whatever Linux kernel is running on the host, which means you’re limited to specific OS distributions (which notably does not include the latest LTS versions of both Debian and Ubuntu), and cannot do everything that you can on a real VM (notably: run Docker).
The main benefit advertised by OpenVZ is performance, but true virtualization is good enough nowadays that this isn’t really an issue in practice.
I think the offering is mostly intended for people who’ve outgrown shared hosting. For such people, iFastNet just spins up a VPS with a control panel template with a bunch of stuff pre-installed, migrates the website in and calls it a day. Whether that’s a good idea is debatable, I don’t think iFastNet actually does proactive management of the server, so presenting this as a complete package to someone with no knowledge about server administration seems dangerous.
So I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. There are better options for unmanaged servers in terms of cost, performance and flexibility, and better options for managed or semi-managed servers where the provider actually does the work for you.
The dedicated offering isn’t much better. The core count and memory you get for the price are pretty decent compared to public cloud pricing, but much higher than many big dedicated server rental companies charge you. And those providers don’t typically use 12 year old desktop hardware.
To be clear: iFastNet’s web hosting is excellent. I just don’t think they should bother with VPS and dedicated if they are only willing to sell this archaic stuff.

Here is a suggestion for Auto-Linkify Words:
Reccomendation: The phrase “terms of service”, and the abbreviation “tos” should link to https://www.infinityfree.com/terms/.
