Webflow got caught with its hand in the cookie jar and wants to settle disputes quietly.

    [The customer] said that Webflow’s sales representatives were uncooperative when asked for more details. He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”

    Wow, that says a lot about how Webflow views its own policies.

      He quoted a sales rep saying, “No because you’ll tweet about it.”

      ‘Well, if you thought I was going to tweet about your shitty policies, what makes you think I won’t tweet about your shitty customer service behavior?’

      What stupid fucking reasoning…

      Sounds like the sales guy was also pissed off about their policies lol. No way they’d give an answer like that if they weren’t 😂

            I had a VPS with racknerd for a year. I just used it as a wireguard endpoint to exit in the US. I had no complaints but I also didn’t use it very often.

      I’m not refuting that the price is ridiculous, but shat you have there is just one VPS with single point of presence and single point of failure. Hopefully (seeing the provider wants to charge absurd amount of money for 2TB) there’s a much more robust infrastructure distributed globally for better performance and uptime than a single VPS.

        So for that price I spin up 20 instances with failover, load balancing, and use an external DNS provider. Even with the price differentials between different vps providers, it still doesn’t math. They’re treating their customers like pork barrels.

          They also have support included.

          Their primary customers are businesses, so pork barrels is right. If you’re just running a blog, a VPS or even shared hosting is a far better choice.

    a price from 2020 (±3 years ?) … “Amazon Web Services (AWS): $0.09 per GB (first 10 TB)” so, hummm, that is about $90/TeraBytes transfer … so about $180/ 2 TeraBytes transfered …
    (unless there is a confusion between the monthly counter and the bandwidth that is measured in Giga bits per second)

      And AWS is ridiculously expensive compared to a lot of the other options.

      Visual designer for websites. There are many others like it. I used webflow for multiple projects and really enjoyed it. Haven’t touched it for a couple years though. Once I ran out of commercial projects to use it for, I couldn’t afford to keep it for personal use.
