I had to delete my previous post about what we hosting control panels are being used by those who also have webhost businesses.

I just can't spend the next 20 days trying to explain

  1. Data Centers Exist
  2. How SMTP works
  3. That webhosting has a very high profit margin
  4. No sane person hosts a business server in their basement. See point 1.
  5. How to get off blacklists
  6. Hosting a website or email is not the same as giving someone full access to your server.
  7. How shared hosting works.
  8. And and and

I've been in the hosting business for 19 years. It's a good income. And it's what got me interested in having a homelab and selfhosting as a hobby. It's also what got me into using Linux as a daily driver.

But too many people here are so narrow minded and have zero concept of the existence of anything outside their own home lab.

I just wanted to find out, from those who ALSO run hosting servers in actual data centers (which do exist despite what you heard Alex Jones tell you). I just wanted to know what was other people's choice of hosting panel.

I might come back at a later stage but I can't deal with this level of intellect that I have encountered tonight.

Cheers, I'm out, and thank you for all the fish.
