    Selling our web hosting division

    Hi @jim_gold, are you're still looking for a buyer?

    .com, .co.uk, .net or all 3 for new start up website?

    If they are free now I would register them rather than a few years down as you can bet your mortgage that someone else will if you don't (and then try to flog it to you!)

    Traveling first class

    Some companies have a policy that is strictly 'business only' and never 'first class' which creates odd moments on pricing where the first fair is equal or even less than business!

    Selling domain names?

    You could try https://domainlore.uk/ or perhaps post them on https://www.acorndomains.co.uk/ and see if there is any interest. Although they are both generally considered 'wholesale' sites - you won't (generally) get 'end user' prices but as always, it doesn't matter so much what you think its...

    Learning from business rejection

    Yep - I'd agree with this - check things that can't easily be 'fluffed' for a web copy. It's particularly bad in our industry sadly those telling porkies about setups, offices, ownership, etc.

    CPanel/WHMCS - Open Source Alternatives

    Blesta / HostBill for WHMCS alternatives DirectAdmin is really the only other CP i'd recommend - you need to be much more tech savvy to look after the server however (fine for end user however) - an awful lot more CLI work and back to compiling everything from source.

    TXT DNS records over 255 characters on Tsohost

    TSO are a huge outfit (part of GoDaddy), they merged many different once independent large brands into one single behemoth (TSO) and I'm sure will have many, many happy customers. I think its probably the case that due to their size, they are going to have a few unhappy - who are also generally...

    How to politely get rid of bad clients

    We get this an awful lot and its usually because a Uni or Company has a policy of needing x amount of quotes for what they have (coming for renewal) or looking to purchase. Its the online equivalent to tyre kicking however to echo the above, we've been providing quotes to one company for...

    Terms and conditions changes - Do you have to notify everyone?

    I'm not a lawyer but have been through many t&c versions with solicitors and really if you are changing parts of the document and have customers 'live' with those terms (in a service sense) then he general consensus is to inform them of a change and when it would be coming into force, eg, 28...

    VPS hosting service provider recommendations?

    What are you planning to host on the VPS? What is the project build on/with? Is it already hosted on a VPS or bare metal? Another question is - does it *need* to go on a VPS? a lot of the time we see customers who have VPS / bare metal but really don't need it at all - it's more about getting...

    Returned Products

    I know of a few places that put their returned stock onto ebay, better something than binning it!

    cPanel price rise - impact?

    One of the main reasons people like cPanel/Plesk/DA and other 'off the shelf' panels is that when companies run into problems, they can then get out of dodge rather quickly, generate your backups and restore them easily to another provider and there is then no learning curve, it's the same just...

    UK Based servers

    The general consensus is that google want your visitors to have a good user experience on your site. If your site visitors are from USA and you're hosting in the UK, it's not going to give a as good as experience as hosting in the USA mainly due to the actual distances (time for the data to...

    Do Tsohost honour old Vidahost packages?

    imapsync is the best there is for this purpose. Its command line but there are a few people who have built web front ends around it. Do you have many mailboxes to move?
