VPS Talker

According to Squarespace's press release , Alphabet sold Google Domains assets to them, and the transaction will be completed in the third quarter. The transaction involves 10 million domain names, under the terms of the agreement, Squarespace will honor all existing Google Domains customers' renewal prices for at least 12 months following the closing of the transaction. There will be seamless transfer between them, and there will not be much impact on users. The Google Domains business started in 2014, the word beta was removed in 2022, and it was sold in 2023, which lasted for 9 years. Domain name registration is an important web infrastructure, just like CloudFlare, which is a CDN provider, has also started a domain name hosting service. For Alphabet has Google Cloud service, it is reasonable to have this part of the infrastructure. From what I know of Google's business, there are at least 3 places where domain name registration can be integrated into Google's exist...

I just checked the price of Plesk from Vultr Marketplace , and found that the price of Plesk Licenses is about 3 times compared to the price about 3 years ago. Here is the screenshot I took on February 24, 2020, it shows the price of Web Pro Edition is $7.5 per month, and Web Host Edition is $12.5 per month. Three years after, the price tripled. The price of Web Pro Edition went up to $20.5 per month, and the price of Web Host Edition went up to $35.5 per month. It used to have discounts to purchase licenses from VPS providers, but it's not nowadays. The price showed from the official website of Plesk is the same as shown in Vultr marketplace. I was shocked, the price of VPS is pretty stable in late years, every instance comes with 1 vCPU, 1GB of memory is about $5 per month, but the price of Plesk went up so sharply. Fortunately, there is a free edition of Plesk available, the free version of Plesk has a limit of 3 domains, It's enough for most of us, It it was not, add anoth...

  When I was editing some staff and then Nginx showed an error reads "504 Gateway Time-out", for more details, I checked the Apache and Nginx log. And there was a log showed "upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream". After checked the log, I have a clue in my mind. I am using Plesk as my server management tool, every Plesk comes with Nginx and Apache together as web server application, Nginx as proxy and pass requests to Apache, Apache do the background processing and then return the results to Nginx. Gateway time-out means Nginx had sent requests to Apache but didn't get responses from Apache in time. Now, it's pretty easy to solve the problem. Nginx waits 60 seconds to get the results, if Apache were not respond to the requests, Nginx would show 504 Gateway time-out error. So, what we do is to change the wait time a little bit longer than 60s.   In Plesk, Navigate to Domains > example.com > Apache ...
