UPD: This blog has nothing to do with kayhosting.tech, who seem to be a legitimate service. The review below was written for kayhosting.com, and other domains affiliated with it, as mentioned further below.

It's been a while since I posted about hosting here.

Last time I did it was to leave a BAD review for Hosting Cove, a company I signed up for a reseller with, and when after two years of having it only as a backup decided to use it... I couldn't. I contacted support. They never got back to me. Later they closed down.

I'm no longer a customer there since they no longer exist... or do they? Not sure. Not looking.

I signed up for a new backup reseller a while back though, this time at just about twice the price, plotting to finally get serious with my side-hustle hosting endeavors, and unfortunately I chose badly. The company I signed up with was KayHosting, which have now been down since December last year. They offered a pretty good plan...

Master Reseller Specials - Master Reseller, 600GB
First Payment Amount: $39.00 USD

I actually didn't notice they were down until I was supposed to receive an invoice to renew my plan this year, but it never came, and when I check the site it's no longer there. Fortunately I only paid for one year, at a lifetime rebate price of course, but that's still one year at twice the price I had on the previous, which I had for half the time.

Seems history keeps repeating itself.

Apparently though this particular host isn't just one that up and disappeared for unknown reasons, but probably an intentional scam.

Along with the above ArkaHosting, Bigfoot Servers, DCNHost, HostBRZ, HostedSimply, Hosting73, KudoHosting, LQHosting, MegaZoneHosting, MyHostingSrv, n3Servers, ServerStrong, SnowVPS, SolvedByData, SparkVPS, StrongHosting, SuperbVPS, SupremeVPS, TCNHosting, UpbeatHosting, UMaxHosting, VPSFortune, WelcomeHosting and X4Servers disappeared in the same swoop. All had the same analytics code.

It seems they were all part of the same thing, yet I didn't even get a notice. Some more info here.

I should probably choose my hosts a bit more carefully. Props at least to WHB for sticking around all this time, my first and foremost. Time to keep an eye out for some alternative sweet deals again; hopefully on hosts that'll stick around too...

I meant to post this a while back. Was pretty impressed with how the Internet Archive handled this when it all started; turned it into a promo asking people to help out and donate no less, and I'm sure people did!

The site's been a bit slow, probably way more overloaded than usual, but it seems they're coping. No better time to support the Archive than now.

Donated this year too btw.

A busy man has time to do everything.

This dude's just fascinating. The tale of someone who really overcame tragedy; found a new path. A real role model.

Just started following his guided breathing exercise here too. It's good stuff! Give it a chance if you can, and don't stress about the pace, you don't need to exhale completely. Get into the rhythm. Focus. Feel at peace.

I'm listening to Wrekonize, what the heck my guy,
Always something next in line, vexed how well he reps his time,
Saw the quarantine concert and they crushed it,
Even without a crowd, got a beat, did it loud,
And NonMS in with a gas mask on I love it!
Solid production, always on something on a budget,
I'm not stuck inside myself but I'm pumping on the keys,
Trying to appease stress, feel at ease yes please!
Right now... I got some reviews to write down!
Been reading manga, packing it higher in high mounds,
Put a bit in boxes in another bedroom,
Wonder why I save too when I might be dead soon

Yeah you never know. I'd like to live a bit freely.
Packed in like my boxes on a block with no options,
At least it ain't Compton, it's really not bad,
I should be glad I have time and a pen and a pad
And get stuck on superficial worries like getting sleep time.
Going down a rabbithole you know I have a deep mind.
Lately when I'm reading I don't even want to flick the light.
I don't want to sleep I want to sit and write!
I want to watch want to listen want to talk want my vision
To go hop hop hither! And not stop winter!
But what drops if you don't stop with social media,
I'm bleeding time, feeble; I'll see you on the sequel.
Human show who keeps moving slow.

But Wrekonize he inspires. Wrekonize never tires.
And Bernz, and the whole Strange perch, though I miss Krizz old style,
With the hip flip merch.
Gotta learn from my idols a bit, I'm liable to quit,
I'm liable to sit, even if I'm able and pave all of my
Roads towards rising on shit. Superficialness...
But I don't want to want bread or be in the biz!
I want to win without anyone losing.
How do you do that though? It's truly confusing.
So I sit in and ooze, in my dues without music,
Though I got more beats ready than I'll ever need steady stream
Of creativity running away when I hit my peak.

I don't know what I'm doing. Am I only reviewing.
I want to record a bit though so here you go I'll get moving.
Till I know what I'm proving. Till I know where I'm going.
You know if life moves too fast for you: you better slow in.

That feels kinda paradoxial don't it. But still, makes so much sense...
Maybe I'll really try it. So long friends. Gotta live in the moment.
