mercutiomus1cbox: did you see the post about php vulnerabilities?
i don't normally read slashdot these days... but the php thing is kind of scary.

RandalSchwartzAdChoices wants me to get an ARP VPS. :) [18:13]
mercutioheh. [18:15]
mus1cboxyea i did
not surprised
[18:15]
mercutioneither
but i like the visibility around it.
as one of the posters pointed out the big issue is that upgrading php versions breaks things.
so shared web hosts are reluctant to upgrade php versions and break peoples sites.
[18:16]
mus1cboxyea it's quite disgusting
how would you handle that? i'd like to say upgrade n fuck em, but it could also mean 2500 support calls at ~3 min each

.... (idle for 18mn)
i guess this is why i never got into web hosting. too much chance for customers needing support, bugs, hacks, etc [18:39]
...... (idle for 26mn)
mercutioyeah i wouldn't advise using shared hosting /or/ providing it
well if you must use wordpress etc use someone who will do updates/maintenance for it.
and expect to pay more than if you had a vps
[19:05]
mus1cboxfuck all that
can you imagine having customers paying $2/mo for 500GB of disk space and 10TB of 10Gbps bandwidth emailing and calling you for help with css then leaving bad reviews on the web?
[19:13]
mercutioyeh i wouldn't want to do it
i'm against cheap hostingf.
i think managed or vps.
[19:15]
mus1cboxall day son! [19:15]
mercutiowhen i was checking archive.org about arp it looked like arp used to do web hosting [19:16]
mus1cboxprobably learned the hard way [19:16]
mercutioi can't see anything now. i assume he realised the futility of it :) [19:16]
mus1cboxya fuck that [19:16]
mercutiohttp://www.zdnet.com/article/unmanaged-wordpress-not-usually-worth-the-risk-or-trouble/ [19:20]
mus1cboxisn't loading, they must be using wordpress [19:22]
mercutioheh zdnet is an awful site
but it's a big site, so it's nice to see it's echoing my view s:)
[19:22]
mus1cboxanother decade, another mediocre zdnet [19:23]
mercutioyeh [19:23]
