cPanel WHM Admins, Plesk Obsidian Is A Great FREE Alternative

Plesk Obsidian Review

cPanel WHM Admins, Plesk Obsidian is a great FREE Alternative. cPanel is without a doubt a great platform but is also the most costly. As a hobbyist, I was paying $39.00 for an Admin 5 domain license plus the host’s VPS server charges. Last month my hosting bill was $106.00. So I started looking for a GUI alternative to WHM and cPanel. I’m not comfortable using a terminal doing command line tasks. My host, Vultr has many applications that can be spun up in a short time. After looking through…

Saying Goodbye to Costly cPanel and Hello Plesk Obsidian Web Admin SE

Plesk Obsidian Web Admin SE

Recently I gave cPanel the boot and said hello to Plesk Obsidian Web Admin SE which is FREE for up to 3 domains. I’ve run cPanel for well over a decade, but its license fee has skyrocketed within the past year. Searching for an alternative and trying two others, I chose the FREE Plesk Obsidian Web Admin SE version as the easiest to set up. And had my two sites online within an hour. Plesk Obsidian is way different than cPanel and with such, there is a learning curve to…

WHM cPanel Acquired By Oakley Capital Raises License Fees

cPanel license fee increase

Running WHM / cPanel hosting cloud instance? cPanel has new multi tiered pricing . It’s no doubt that cPanel is the best web server software on the net, but from what I’m reading starting on 09/01/19. Licensees will be billed by how many account’s (domains) are hosted on an instance. Looks like it will get really expensive to run under cPanel. As a hobbyist i have 5 domains hosted in my vps instance, which would put me in the Admin tier billed at $20 month, an increase of $4 monthly.…

WHM cPanel Easy Apache 4 Migration PHP 7

If you’re running WHM / cPanel Server chances are your PHP Version is 5.5 or older. Updating to PHP 7 has many new features that you’re sure to love and the speed increase is fantastic. PHP 5.5 is already at it’s end of it’s life-cycle. PHP 5.6 is nearing it’s life-cycle and is scheduled to expire in January 2018. Upgrading is important to ensure best server reliability and security. I’m a firm believer in keeping up with tech, and came across this tweet yesterday from Joost DeValk of Yoast, whose…

GoDaddy Linux Hosting Review

GoDaddy Linux cPanel web hosting is an improvement but still has problems. This review is intended to be a honest and truthful guide for others looking for dependable shared web hosting. There are so many paid reviews on the net it’s hard to know who to trust other than take it for a test drive as i have done. I have been a GoDaddy.com web-hosting critic in the past due to a poor experience with their service. But I’m always looking for a better web host so i figured why…

After This Challenging Migration, Ole Doc Is Back Online!

Doc's Place BBS

After managing to migrate three WordPress blogs into a single large website, my newest creation is finally online. Normally doing a project like this is a charm. But I chose a different brand of web server from Switzerland, Plesk Obsidian. When it was finally done, all 22GB of it containing several new domains came crashing down as Plesk is famous for. Normally my websites are hosted on WHM/cPanel, but the license fee alone is expensive. When spinning up a web hosting instance it requires a server package. cPanel is the…

Covid-19 Lawsuit

Covid-19 Lawsuit has been filed. Pharmaceutical giants, Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, UK officials accused of crimes against humanity in an International Criminal Court complaint. In addition, they argued that effective treatments for COVID-19, such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, were suppressed, resulting in a more significant number of COVID-19 deaths than should have occurred. Update 06/04/22: Browsing around the net today revealed this stored initial complaint on the Internet Archive (WaybackMachine) dated 12/06/2021. In my personal opinion, this was a valid complaint that was indeed filed with the ICC but must…

Marxism And Wokeness Defense Are Killing Big Tech Brand Names

marxism wokeness

Marxism And Wokeness defense of the Biden Admin is not worth big tech and other companies trashing their reputations over. Thinking about Google and Facebook are just two big-name tech brands that have literally screwed their reputations into the ground, in my personal opinion. Both Facebook and especially Google have the best tech around. But both of these once fine tech companies are still hell-bent on sleeping with and defending the enemy of the American people! So, as Joe’s lousy reputation sinks lower seemingly by the day, Facebook is even…

There’s Little Internet Visibility For Those On Big Tech’s Blacklist

It’s become apparent there is little to no visibility on the Internet for those on big tech’s blacklist. Domain and Individuals Blacklists maintained by big tech and their social media partners have done a number on independent publishers like me. The net seemed like a blessing when it was first opened to the public in the mid-’90s. But it didn’t take long for Facebook to swoop in and grab ahold of and control our lives. Many would rather be repeatedly punished for their conservative, republican, and Trump supporter’s views rather…

Yoast SEO Premium Plugin ‘View Update Details’ Problem

Yoast SEO Premium Support

As a general rule we prefer to preview what’s new in WordPress plugin updates. After plopping down $89 for Yoast SEO Premium I’m impressed. However when a new Yoast SEO premium update was available, I was not able to view the new version details because of a error. I could preview other WordPress plugin update details before actually doing the update, but not on Yoast SEO Premium. So it was time to check out Yoast’s world class Premium Support, so i fired off an email. Received a reply back in…

R.L. Drake Scraper Bot

Drake Holdings IP Range 204.79.180.0/24 AKA AS62540 has been attacking my blogs for months. Drake is attempting to harvest every article image etc on the two WordPress sites.

Quite a bit of info about Drake Holdings comes up in a Google search, including this discussion on webmasterworld.com forum. Contacting the administrator via email has been unsuccessful. It’s a possibility Drake is scraping…

PHP MBstring May Be Required In Certain WordPress Configurations

PHP Multibyte String often referred to as MBstring may not be enabled in many common php configurations, but may be needed in certain WordPress configurations, dependent on certain plugin use. We ran into this after upgrading to WordPress 4.5. Our self administrated server did not have this php module installed. This article shows how to enable this module in WHM / cPanel servers using easy Apache. From php.net: When you manipulate (trim, split, splice, etc.) strings encoded in a multibyte encoding, you need to use special functions since two or…

CloudFlare WordPress Plugin Breaks WP-Admin

CloudFlare WordPress Plugin Disaster Breaks WordPress Admin Functions – And CloudFlare Support Was Clueless! This morning i couldn’t log in to this WordPress blog. It was the start of several hours of hell trying to diagnose the problem. CloudFlare had a major security issue – and what they did to fix it was beyond logic! I spent several hours trying to figure out what was wrong while having my morning coffee. I suspected a CloudFlare debacle right off the bat since i had updated their plugin last night before going…

HostGator Web Hosting Sucks

HostGator Web Hosting

HostGator Web Hosting Sucks. It sucked in 2014 when i leased a VPS Server from HostGator and in 2016 it appears nothing has changed. Since we quit offering web services and notified several clients of this, a couple asked who could move their sites and where to get web hosting. Shared hosting can really suck if the wrong host is chosen. Knowing that i decided to have my client purchase a hosting account and i would do the site move for them. Since i have not utilized shared web hosting…
