CloudFlare is currently having an outage after their planned maintenance in LA. It was supposed to re-route traffic but looks like it’s caused downtime. Twitter/X plus many many sites are down at the moment. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ “Investigating – Cloudflare is aware of, and investigating an issue which potentially impacts multiple customers.

Hey 👋 I built a Self-hosted monitoring platform and would love your honest feedback before I start selling it. What it does: Monitors websites with 8 checks (uptime, SSL, domain expiry, robots.txt, sitemap, blacklist, etc.) Target users: Agencies who want to white-label it and offer monitoring to clients Tech stack: PHP 8, MySQL, Vanilla JS (chose for easy deployment on shared hosting) Live demo: https://wlabel.urlwatch.io (Login credentials are pre-filled – just click “Log In”) What I need feedback on: Is the UI intuitive? Any confusing parts? What features are missing? Would you actually use this vs. other’s? Any bugs you notice? Not looking for sales – genuinely want to improve it before launch. Brutal honesty appreciated! 🙏 Tech specs: PHP 8+, MySQL 5.7+, cURL, OpenSSL, WHOIS Deployment: Any shared/VPS/dedicated hosting submitted by /u/RajSuper123 [link] [comments]

Tried SiteGround and Bluehost. SiteGround was user friendly, but unfortunately the only reasonable pricing was for the first year, then it was like a 5x increase so I ran away. Bluehost I just didn’t get used to, never really even got my sites up because of the quirks. I’m just looking for a reasonable host for the long run. I have a small media business that is split into a few separate names for niche purposes. I only need to host static WordPress pages to list basic info, embedded YouTube videos and a contact form. So ideally just looking for a host that allows up to 5 or so sites, WordPress/user friendly, but most importantly who is not going to jack up the price by like $300 starting the second year Like with siteground, a new customer gets a $4/mo deal, but then a return customer has to pay $30/mo lol. Is that the case with any host right now? submitted by /u/theseawoof [link] [comments]

​​I’m confused by website redirects. When my host moved my site to web uzo without asking me, I noticed right away that the redirects I had set were gone for whatever reason. ​On webuzo, the redirects seem to be defaulting to a page that they created​​​. Sometime last week the prior week, I created my own redirect page that uses my website shell or whatever you want to call it. ​​Somehow it is magically missing, though I had it working for a little while. The redirects started going back to their generic redirect page that says the name Webuzo. ​​ I’m not even sure what the best policy is. I’ve read that if you do a general redirect back to your homepage you lose a lot of search engine love? Is that true? ​Does anyone have a quick way of explaining this? Webuzo does have a manual way to set up redirect links. At some point I also tried to find HTML redirect code to paste into the HT access file. That didn’t work either. My web guy was even trying to help me and it still didn’t work. ​​Thanks again you guys, there are some awesome people here. ​ submitted by /u/Used-Opposite-7363 [link] [comments]
