@willard You're welcome, you will notice the difference if you have good headphones.

@HoloDreamer no idea right now, but I'm slowly going to start using less US based services even if net neutrality doesn't end up happening

@linuxxx @Linux any suggestions for non-US based VPS companies (similar to DigitalOcean)?

@BindView I want a vps company so I can do whatever I want with the server. Windscribe is a vpn company.

@mikessoldier you have a link? ixquick and google don't come up with anything.

@DrPitLazarus meant to say computer instead of site, I'm using a windows computer and I just simply want to know how long it's been on for

And the site which disables right click on their site. That's how you get me to leave a site and never come back.

@JoshBent you're correct I'm ranting about WordPress.

The site is on a shared hosting that I assume has very little memory so I can't do too many things at the same time or funny things happy.

@Torbuntu It's because most companies don't want to pay for a custom site, they know WordPress and somewhat khow to edit it. But really I just haven't looked into other CMS's.

@jay97 It's the local economy. If everyone in the area is charging a ton for a site then everyone's prices go up.

@runfrodorun Agree, but I need to start somewhere and I've only had two clients so far.

I just realized you can subscribe to a user's rants, I'm now subscribed to you @linuxxx

I have installed Unlocker for that reason, right click and see why it's locked then you can remove the file / folder.

They have 5000 words so they put it to good use. A writer from the verge went over to medium hq and wrote a post about writing update notes, it's at https://theverge.com/2016/2/...

There is an rss feed for the podcast.... https://devrant.io/static/devrant/...

I'm a freelancer / business owner and put my prices on my (business) website and tell people I can't go any lower. If people are trying to low-ball they aren't worth it, just say no thanks.

@NeatNerdPrime that's what I was planning.

I wait 15 minutes then send a message (usually email but if I had their cell number then text) at 20 minutes I call or email and say I know your busy, but I'm leaving let me know when to want to reschedule.

Or "every project is different, once we know what your project involves we can give you an accurate quote"

Tomorrow I'm sending the "It looks like this isn't going to work out" email and giving them just over a week to decide. I now hate this "friend" /client but if they want to pay me the rates I've quoted (for hosting and maintenance) then I will be happy to have them back.

@inpothet it's $15 per month (CAD) , but the specs are 1gb of ram, 1 core processor and 30gb of ssd disk space

@inpothet no actually that's cheap compared to what other companies charge. I use a vps with each client so they get full use of the resources.

@Linux close, a Scottish clan. Who actually meets irl.

@Linux completely agree but technically they aren't paying, the director of the clan is paying (who seems to be hard to reach)

@Linux I have already removed their login access, so they can just see the site but not edit it. I wish this client wasn't a friend since it would be a ton easier to fire.

@MisterArie yep that's true it's a Scottish clan website (they want to show pictures, have a calendar, forums and contact forms). I know I underpriced on this "client" but I was younger and stupider

Now my website hosting provider won't even let me upload the entire zip file because my site "is not meant for backup purposes" yet I have unlimited storage on my account. I have also used it before as a storage holder without problems. Guess it's time to split the zip into multiple zips and upload to one drive (since I have 1tb of storage there)

Meant to say creator. I really should re-read before I post anything on my phone.

Update (11:15pm on 2017-06-19): Client desktop doesn't load the site after flushing dns (and trying different browser) . But the site loads fine on his phone so tomorrow I will be playing IT tech support (trying to figure out why client can't access the site today when he was able to access it yesterday). I love and hate what I have decided to do for a living.

13, was when I created my own website. Mostly self-taught with a little bit of school during then.
