Re: kaspersky

[Eric Oyen via PLUG-discuss]

Nope!

I saw that situation coming about 10 years ago. Also, wouldn’t trust AVAST or 
other similar eastern EU products for much the same reason.

Yeah, right!

Please reconsider this... This is VERY BAD security practice. There's basically 
zero defense if you happen to download/run something malicious.

I feel attacked and abandoned.

Didn't we just fight the war of Loyalties? I thought Michael won, but I

Otherwise, you need Apache or something similar running somewhere that
can respond to https requests sent to yourdomain.com:80 [1]

Most registrars these days offer really cheap web hosting for $2-$3
per month paid on an annual basis that provide you with all of the
basic services. For $25-$30 / year, I’d rather get a full suite of
services on a reliable host that’s not likely to disappear because
people are hosting all sorts of crap sites that attract DDOS attacks
for spamming. This would include mail hosting. I’ve used
NameSilo’s hosting and it’s pretty decent.

Note that while I prefer cPanel, they charge a lot to hosting vendors,
so that hosting is always going to be a little more expensive than
something that uses a different control panel, but there are some
really good alternatives these days that are designed to mimic cPanel
fairly closely.

IMHO, you get what you pay for, and if your time is worth anything,
then pay a few bucks for a reliable host.

Re: DNS Records

Years ago I used https://www.zoneedit.com/ for free.  Looks like they 
may still have some free stuff.


If I understand you may need to only change your A record IP to the IP 
address of your domain.
