I’ve tried to search for hits on this but it gets washed out with unrelated search results. I only saw one post that mentioned this site (from 1yr ago) saying they had used the service since 2017 without issue. Anyone have experience? Was looking at the lifetime domain and their hosting service. I know people don’t like lifetime things, and the domains are a little wonky there, but looking for any honest feedback before I make a decision. This is really just for a hobby project, so I’m just somewhat looking to play around. submitted by /u/dudecheckthis [link] [comments]

- Which option is better? for hosting and domain nameby /u/KaitoRIF on July 23, 2026 at 9:27 am
I try to find out between “Cloudflare + Netlify vs. Porkbun + Netlify,” which one is better. What do you think? Kindly advise me on which combo to use. I try to use HTML. On netlify, and with domain matching with Cloudflare or Porkbun it will be easy in the long term. submitted by /u/KaitoRIF [link] [comments]
- Anyone have real experience with SwissRDP (swissrdp.com)? Looking for unbiased reviews.by /u/Kadamss on July 23, 2026 at 7:23 am
Hey everyone, I’m looking into SwissRDP for an upcoming project that requires a high level of privacy and a no-KYC sign-up. I’ve seen their marketing threads on forums like BlackHatWorld, but I can’t find any independent reviews or talk about them on Reddit or Trustpilot. Has anyone here actually bought a VPS or RDP plan from them? I’m specifically curious about their uptime & reliability as well as the network neighborhood (are their IP ranges heavily blacklisted?) submitted by /u/Kadamss [link] [comments]
- Just narrowly avoided a lengthy server rebuild incorrectly assuming it was hackedby /u/dougception on July 22, 2026 at 4:08 pm
I’m logged into one of my Ubuntu VPS’s as a user account with sudo access and I go to run sudo mysql. It rejects the password as pasted from my password manager. Panic sets it as I was just in the db 20 minutes ago. I try running as another user I know to be valid using su. Password rejected. I’m sweating bullets now. I only log in using ssh pubkey. Password login disabled. Root login disabled. Has someone hacked my server while I was logged in? Has someone hacked my dev machine and key logged my passwords? My instinct is to disable and rebuild the server but I decide to ask the free web console version of an AI what to do first despite my hitherto reluctance to use AI generally. I work alone so no one here to ask and thinking my server was in the hands of a malicious actor I didn’t have time to ask for help here on reddit. As I follow its troubleshooting steps I start to calm down as it looks less and less like a server hack and then I remember: I just created a backup of my password manager file. Or did I? No. I had renamed the current file and pasted in an older password database file with all incorrect passwords. I reverse the procedure and everything is fine. I’m competent at Linux server administration but concede I didn’t know most of the steps to try and detect infiltration. If I hadn’t asked the AI model I’d be rebuilding a perfectly good server right now. This story is not intended to shill AI as obviously the true underlying moral of it is don’t panic and get better at Linux. Try and be rational in any situation where you think something catastrophic has happened. It might not be as bad as you think. submitted by /u/dougception [link] [comments]
