Hosting shenanigans

[jaybreak]

Unrelated to the recent hacking, Bluehost changed its hosting package structure. Where once I had unlimited disk storage but a limited file count, I am now both limited to storage (150 gigabytes) and files (1 million files). When I was switched to the new plan structure, I was way over the disk limit and I basically couldn't do anything on . I had a backup of the site plus a ton of personal files I was keeping on the server, so I moved them off onto a thumb drive. I am well within the disk limit now, and I was already well within the file count limit.

No emergency or anything yet, but I may need to upgrade again if we approach the storage limits. That day may never come, but I am just keeping it in prayer that I'll still be able to sustain the forum financially if I do need to upgrade.

Part of our tribulation in these times is not just inflation, but a general collapse in consumer spending versus the corporate mantra that net revenue must increase. So, while hosting businesses like BlueHost are going to lose customers, the ones that are left will be squeezed just a bit more. It's like that all over the corporate world, a sign of the times. May the Lord protect us from egregious abuses.
