at post 76  Strange. Because I got no errors in our logs stating that anything went wrong. If need be, follow us on twitter and we can dm you your stuff if you'd like. twitter is @jchosting17

And at post 75 we'll change these up vary soon. Everything should have been clearly labeled. I've tested this greatly. What screen reader are you using. If you say jaws, that's one that I don't have and that I would refews to put on here. Lol. hahahaha. But yeah man, I do get what ya mean by that. Kind of just never occurred to me before before now. I do apologize. If you tab between the fields, your screenreader would have said required, or if it didn't say that, that  meant that it would have been totally optional. But yeah, we'll look into rewriting the form up a bit.

Hi.
Copied. Thanks for replying.
Take care.
Mike.

Hi.
Yo, for some reason I can't access the teamtalk server thingy now. Will try from ftp.
Take care.
Mike

Also, FWIW, I'll applaud you for having a site that's easy to use in w3m and other text browsers too, btw. It's refreshing.

Hi.
I've sent you a private message with some questions regarding the whole services. The one that throws errors now is the icecast lol.
Take care.
Mike.

well, folks, as a customer of both jc and qs hosting, I'm just gonna say this. From a customer viewpoint, Quality Site Hosting looks like a much more plausable company than Jc-hosting. While reading all 88 posts on this thread topic, I have continuously seen the unprofessionalism displayed by the CEO of Jc-hosting. I have seen the satisfaction rate of some of their customers, who seem to be having many problems with accessing certain aspects of their sites, ftp servers, and teamtalk servers. I have seen posts by unsatisfied customers who have waited and waited for hosting services, which were requested before the a-formentioned vacation in post 73. To me, it just doesn't look like they are trying that hard over there. I site these reasons, as well as a recent tweet from Jonathan Candler, control nobs, studio microphone." Rebuilding one  of my test servers from scratch just because I want to. lol." It seems to me that instead of rebuilding an old server for fun, this company may want to actually focus more on the cue of pending sign-up requests I'm sure they have. I know they have at least two, because after their migration, one of my top level domains was not restored (www.blindyessentials.com, which means that I will not be able to release the next blindy essentials handbook on December 31) and neither was my subdomain, which which was the basis for my icecast and teamTalk servers. Now, I have requested both of them to be set up again. I have been neither notified that these actions are in progress nor contacted in regards to what the heck is taking so long. Ok, never mind, actually Jc-hosting requested my previous username and password for my tld. Which brings me to another point, the insecure way that customers are asked to submit sensitive data to this company. Jc-hosting keeps telling their customers to DM said customer credentials over twitter, a social network! Just how unprofessional is that? And if you don't have twitter, you have to send them through email, which is also insecure. Not only that, these passwords are being transmitted while unencrypted and in an easily retreavable format. And while we're on the topic of retrieving things, why didn't Jc-hosting keep an encrypted database of user logins to retrieve later in case their  server crashed like it did? Why should the customers have to submit them to this company again? Now folks, I ain't really trying to bash on Johnny or his company here at all. What I'm trying to do is convey my thoughts on this hosting provider. And when its just that when you look at all that next to the secure and professional way Qs-Hosting does things, there really is no way to put it gently. I mean, come on. Qs hosting has been hosting my domain for over seven months with 100 percent uptime. I can honestly say that other than the 48 seconds my site was not loading do to a server restart to assign me a new Ip address, my stuff has been hosted rock-solidly. Add to that the flawless customer support I recieved, as well as the very quick operational times whenever I wanted a     custom solution such as an rss feed for my podcasts or some custome coding done, there is really no reason not to host with these guys. Sure, they cost money, and jc-hosting is free on most levels. But as a general rule of thumb, you get what you pay for in life, and if you don't pay for anything there, you'll get bearly more than that, and it isn't much different if you are investing.  Also, just something else to keep in mind. Qs-hosting, I believe, is an actual company composed of multiple employees, so everything is more likely to get done and get done on time and correctly. So, if one person goes on vacation, which does seem to be jc-hosting's main argument here as to why things weren't up and running, then someone else can just fill in and provide that 100 percent uptime they advertise. So folks, when it comes to the decision between these two companies, keep this in mind. Do you want someone who just wants to help you, right alongside  dealing with  their other life activities, or do you want a company that is actually dedicated soely to web and other such hosting?

At post 89, I failed to reason of why you have posted my tweet for all to see. That, had nothing to do with anything, if at all. That server is just a small server should I need to test anything on I can. So there ya go. Again, I fail to see why people keep posting about off topic things. Look, This thread had a person talking about stuff that needed to be taking quite care of and I happen to post in being quite responsive after a couple of post and this is what happens. This isn't a thread of which hosting company is better or anything like that. As I stated before and I'll state it one last time. Doing things differently is not a bad thing and right now, It's me and one other person running this stuff. I'm looking for another sisadmin of which I can trust to take care of data and not steeling anything. To be honestly frank, I don't trust a lot of blindies around these parts and our databases hash everything to get user stuff from. of course, I could dehash shit, but I really don't feel like doing that so there you go and hello, what does me posting on this thread about my thoughts on the matters that pull up have anything to do with professionalism around here. Also, my tweets, by god. Hello, that's my personal twitter. I tweet, whenever, and whatever, I feel like and that just happened to be one of my tweets. Need I say more? No. I'm sorry, but unless people have anything more to say on the matter, I'll be out of here.

@91, uh. Wow. You clearly know nothing about hashing, then. You cannot "dehash" something. A hash is not reversable. Once data is hashed, it is hashed for ever. You can create hash collisions, where two datasets are not identical but generate the same hash, but if you use a secure hashing algorithm like SHA-512 or Blake2, the likelihood of you ever managing to do that is nil. Yep, I fully support post 89 in this matter; sending user credentials over twitter via the DM system (which is probably monitored for, you know, security reasons), or over email (which is a very, very insecure method, even if you have all email security measures in place), is a terrible, terrible idea. Stop living in 1994-1998 and get to modern technology, then (if your reputation hasn't been shattered) try again.

This, so much this.

I honestly don't know why folks are remaining with jc-hosting. The sheer unprofessionalism, the loss of user data, free or not, the fact that he is only *now*, in 2018, getting security under control.

I'm sorry, but qs-hosting will treat you better, be more secure, and there is 0 favoritism going on. Not to mention you will be treated professionally, not given an excuse of why they can't check direct messages - there is twitter for mobile devices for that - but, a better question is actually why the living hell anyone from jc-hosting is even sending passwords over direct message. It's like giving someone a clear method into your lack of security. What happened to a forgot your password link so that the password can be secured. Wait, was it ever to begin with? Folks, if you use the same password for anything else as jc-hosting, my recommendation is to change it. Now.

And let's not forget that the lack of maturity shown here is only the beginning. The lack of ssl and encrypted data, the lack of forethought that went into this migration, the lack of communication with customers coupled with the aforementioned lack of knowledge on how to properly conduct yourself in a business related environment tells us that maybe 2018 is the year for you. How can you be expected to keep customers if you continue to make excuses, evade questioning and blame your twitter client - and we're not even getting to the fact that you were literally on vacation when this all went down  a month ago and you're still unable to recover people's data. That says how much planning went or goes into anything you do - zero.

Simply contact qs-hosting while you wait for jc-hosting to get what remains of its shit together - assuming your passwords aren't already in someone elses pocket due to the latters lack of security - and see what they can do for you. I garentee you you won't be disappointed.

Does QS Hosting give you a VPS and let you do anything you want with it? I've been toying with the idea of creating my own website and having my own server space. I want to also do things like host servers for Sound RTS and other games. These prices are pretty good considering what you get. I just don't know if I'd use it enough to justify the monthly payments. Still, $5 per month for 10 GB of storage and $14 a year for a domain isn't bad at all. HOw do you manage your server? I hope it lets you use SSH. What distro of Linux are they using?

I would assume SSH is always secure. After all, it's a secure shell. Is SSH the only accessible way to interact with the server? What operating system is used? How much RAM and CPU cores do you get with each plan? I couldn't find that information on the page.
