Not sure if this is the proper community for this. I’m a not great IT person, but have used hosting services for me and my daughter for 20 years. Hostpapa bought Canvas Dreams and upped the prices. OK. They use webmail, which changed their interface after a migration and it’s awful. Now there is a phishing email with subject: “YOU PERVERT I’VE RECORDED YOU” to 3 of our domain email accounts. I’ve done everything I can think of to stop them: marked as junk, reported IP in blacklist, scanned computer to make sure no damage is done. We’re considering switching to Google Workspace hoping for better security. Thanks for any help. submitted by /u/puddletownLou [link] [comments]

TL;DR: Stablepoint silently killed their “Unlimited” plans, slapped hidden hard limits on existing customers without notification, and completely broke existing packages to add accounts to my server without editing the packages. Hey everyone, I need to warn the community about some incredibly shady and downright fraudulent business practices happening at stablepoint.com right now. I’ve been running my London server with them and originally signed up under their “unlimited” packages. Everything was fine until I recently tried to add a new domain, only to find out the system completely blocked me as the packages were set to unlimited bandwidth as per the contract and legacy plans I have been paying years for. After digging into it, I found out why: Stablepoint quietly decided to remove the “unlimited” tag and secretly impose hard limits on their servers. No email notification. * No announcements. * No heads-up to existing customers. They just altered the server limits in the background. While the new hard limit might technically be a high number, the fact that they stripped the “unlimited” designation from their backend means my existing packages are now registering as invalid. Because of their silent backend changes. This is a classic, unethical corporate bait-and-switch. They lure you in with promises of unlimited resources, secretly change the deal, and break your server configuration in the process. I’ve paid for one final month strictly to buy myself time to migrate my data completely off their platform. If you are hosting anything with Stablepoint, I highly suggest you log in, check your package limits today, and start planning your exit strategy. submitted by /u/ankushthor [link] [comments]

I’ve been working on a server management panel recently (focused on game servers, but a lot of the challenges overlap with general hosting), and I’ve been thinking a lot about where existing panels fall short. Things like: – performance overhead from the panel itself – UI/UX complexity vs flexibility – scaling across multiple nodes – how much control vs abstraction users actually want Curious from people here, especially those running VPS/dedicated infrastructure: What do you think current panels (e.g. cPanel, Plesk, etc.) still get wrong? And what would you want to see done differently if someone were building one today? Would be really interesting to hear perspectives from the hosting side submitted by /u/badgerpanel [link] [comments]
