I had to delete my previous post about what we hosting control panels are being used by those who also have webhost businesses.

I just can’t spend the next 20 days trying to explain

  1. Data Centers Exist
  2. How SMTP works
  3. That webhosting has a very high profit margin
  4. No sane person hosts a business server in their basement. See point 1.
  5. How to get off blacklists
  6. Hosting a website or email is not the same as giving someone full access to your server.
  7. How shared hosting works.
  8. And and and

I’ve been in the hosting business for 19 years. It’s a good income. And it’s what got me interested in having a homelab and selfhosting as a hobby. It’s also what got me into using Linux as a daily driver.

But too many people here are so narrow minded and have zero concept of the existence of anything outside their own home lab.

I just wanted to find out, from those who ALSO run hosting servers in actual data centers (which do exist despite what you heard Alex Jones tell you). I just wanted to know what was other people’s choice of hosting panel.

I might come back at a later stage but I can’t deal with this level of intellect that I have encountered tonight.

Cheers, I’m out, and thank you for all the fish.

    That’s such a small group of people and with the self selection of who is in this /c, I have to think that you were being a bit naive about what you expected to find.

    Sorry it wasn’t what you’d hoped for.

    No you’re right, we’re all very dumb and you should probably stay away.

    Be the change you want to be in the world.

    If you want this community to be as elite as you then you should stay and teach us about those things you said you didn’t want to explain.

    What I know is that I have vastly more compute and disk at home than I can afford to run in any cloud. So it seems a shame to not use it - perhaps with a cloud front end and secured connection to the home equipment.

    Mine is in my den. Basement floods from time to time and I agree, hosting something where it floods is stupid.

    Please come back so we can argue about plex vs emby or apple vs intel and other non-selfhosted subjects

    Webmin, cockpit,

    I have too many servers. I have 6 servers and using 1. Is 256gb of ram enough?

    Enjoy the smoke break.

    You wanted to find out from those who ALSO run hosting servers in actual data centers what is their hosting panel in reddits selfhosted community?

    With your higher intellect you should agree with me that you are an IDIOT ;)
