So I bought my domain and have been hosting my website on wix. I have had a website designed for me by someone and they use cloudflare for it. I was hoping to just switch over the nameservers but I can’t do that with wix. Since I can’t, I am going to switch from wix to porkbun but I am worried about a few things, so how should I do them? I have an email that uses this domain I have registered, which I use through google workspace now. the important thing is, I do not want to lose access to this email at any point, it is very important. I see the wix transfer can take 5-7 days, what happens during that time? Is my website offline? Anything else I should know about this? Thanks so much everyone. submitted by /u/Negative-Gap4143 [link] [comments]

Built a local trade directory site four years ago as a side project. One niche, one region, nothing fancy, just business listings and a lead form that sells to contractors for $50 a lead. For three years it sat at maybe $900 a month, just enough to cover hosting and my coffee habit. Six months ago I got sick of my old shared host timing out every time Google decided to crawl me hard, so I moved everything to a VPS setup on Hostinger and finally fixed the image compression and page speed stuff I’d been ignoring since 2021. Nothing dramatic, just faster pages and a cleaner sitemap. Traffic started climbing within weeks. I don’t fully know how much of it is the speed fix versus Google just deciding to like the site again, but last month I pulled $3,100 for the first time ever, and this month is already pacing past that. Yesterday a guy who runs three similar directory sites in nearby regions emailed asking if I’d sell. We talked on the phone for 40 minutes. He offered $42k, all cash, wants to fold my traffic and leads into his existing sales team since he already has buyers lined up who’d take double the volume I’m sending them now. Part of me wants to take it because $42k is more than the site has made me in total since it launched. Part of me knows he’s offering that because he sees the same traffic curve I’m looking at and figures it’ll be worth double in a year. I’ve moved sites before, tried a couple hosts along the way including SiteGround for a bit, and the migration itself was never the hard part. Knowing when to stop building is the part I’ve never been good at. Anyone taken a deal like this on something small and regretted either direction? submitted by /u/__sm18__ [link] [comments]

i’m hosting 12 client sites on one vps and wondering how others handle isolation between projects, especially if one site gets compromised, what setup do you use without running a separate server for every client? submitted by /u/DiskoCat-7543 [link] [comments]
