That's what a CORS policy is for. Set your allowed origins as a header in the Django app, and it won't be a problem.

What are people's experience with the cheap EU hosting companies? I'm looking to get a dedicated server and I'm not sure if I should go with OVH, Online.net or Hetzner. Looks like either of them will be about €100/month for my needs (a handful of Linux VMs with Apache and PostgreSQL and a DNS slave server). I know support isn't great at this price level, but I'm thinking about network/hardware quality and availability of documentation. What are their management consoles like?

I'd highly recommend Hetzner. I've been using them for a couple of months.
I used to use SoftLayer so I could have a server in EU but switched to Hetzner. Their pricing is ridiculously better than SoftLayer and SoftLayer is a horrible horrible company that doesn't value their customers, only their bottom line... The server I have with Hetzner is also Dell hardware as opposed to the typical Supermicro crap that most dedicated server providers sell.
Management console is basic, but they make it easy to install the OS of choice, instructions for installing the raid software for the controllers they provide. With the Dell servers you get access to the DRAC for full remote server control.

So, I didn't think zPanel could get any scummier after their debacle awhile back where one of their moderators swore at someone who was reporting security flaws and claimed there were absolutely no flaws in zPanel, but it looks like they've now deleted their entire support forum and now only offer support to Hostwinds customers. Why anyone would pay for the 'privilege' of using zPanel, I can't even loving imagine.

Weird question but I'm helping someone who has their site hosted with GoDaddy and they want to do daily incremental backups of a mysql database and email it to themselves. Anyone know if that's possible on GoDaddy hosting?

Worst case scenario: You can do it purely in php and just visit the url to trigger an email.

It's definitely possible and there's no way to block it, but if you're on shared hosting things get messy and harder

Thanks for the response. Doing it with PHP seems to require executing a "mysqldump" command at some point, but on godaddy mysql is hosted on a different server than php. Would that command work?

But anyway now it turns out they want the backup as an excel file! That's definitely not possible right?

Yeah sorry the word backup was misleading - it wouldn't be intended to restore the site. It's a db of client details and they want an email every day with the all the new clients in an xls file.

I don't think I'm going to attempt this.

in that case, you wouldn't be using mysqldump
just use php/pdo to do a SELECT whatever FROM customers, and foreach (row as client) { poo poo it out into a .csv } or something

Depending on the size of the DB, you can probably use phpmyadmin to do the dump. They already have the code to output as csv/etc.

It'll only work on small databases though because pma is poo poo. :mrgw:

OpenSSL has released information regarding the SSL v3 vulnerability:

Please pay close attention to the recommendations and implement as necessary.

Welp, Ars is now reporting a TLS-variant of POODLE. On one hand they say that a bunch of banks and other "high profile" sites are affected. On the other hand they say

Ars Technica posted:

So far, load balancers and similar devices sold by two different manufacturers have been identified as vulnerable. The makers are F5 and A10.

So I'm not quite sure if only the load balancers are affected, or if the problem is wider spread.

Any other Dreamhost customers here?

I'm not really using any of their services and want to let my web hosting expire, but I do have two domain registrations that I'd like to keep, and re-point to Heroku-hosted Ruby applications because I don't need anything more complicated than that right now. Is that even an option, or do I have to shut down Dreamhost entirely and transfer the registrar to something like 1&1? And even there, is there any actual difference between domain registrars if I don't need hosting alongside it?

I'd recommend you keep your registrar and hosting company completely separate. It'd probably be your best bet to transfer to a company like Gandi or NameCheap before letting the Dreamhost services lapse, just to be on the safe side. Some hosting companies will hold your domain hostage if you cancel your service with them. I don't think Dreamhost is one of them, but it's best to be on the safe side.

You can buy domains through Dreamhost, you can host a website through Dreamhost, or you can do both. One does not impact the other. Your domains will continue exist as long as you keep paying for the registration.

Even if your registrations are "free domains," that's applied in the form of a credit. You'll just have to pay regular price (instead of $0.00) at your next renewal if you no longer have hosting services.

Yes, but the question was not best practice (which has been rehashed a million times in this thread, including directly above me) or what happens if you just quit paying Dreamhost.

The question was "if I quit using Dreamhost for hosting, will it affect my domains"? The answer to that question is no.

Can anyone here recommend a enterprise level web host. Our large public company is growing and we want to consolidate all of our websites on one host that can offer a managed environment. Costs aren't really much of an issue, but we need 99.9% uptime, DDoS protection, etc. Right now we have our primary site at Rackspace, and a recently acquired company uses a different host. We have both Linux and Windows web servers. We're looking at Akamai, and possibly expanding our Rackspace footprint.

Paradoxically the most professional and lowest-bullshit registrar I've been with is also one of the cheapest, internet.bs. This may be because both qualities are valued by their original customer base, professional domainers with large portfolios.

- kill anyone that suggests powweb or any EIG-related host
- i am very happy with nearlyfreespeech - load balanced bsd, custom panel, jailed per user by default, ssh by default, i host some static blogs, and i've paid for two years now with a single $2 deposit. this is very ymmv, you are expected to basically not be retarded to qualify as a customer, but the service is good. i don't opt in to their database or dynamic scripting addons so no comment on those.
