Good to know, thanks.

Will look into square space, thanks.

Agreed. But stability and reliability would be a priority for this so like emuspawn said “cost of doing business” :c

Will look into it. Thanks!

That seems to be the consensus. Thanks!

So don’t take this as rude I know this is literally not what you asked, but…

No no no, this is the exact reason I asked. I honestly thought selfhosting would be better and easier once its all set up. Thank you very much.

As far as I know the website is not an indispensable part of the business but its not a static page either. Its gonna be like a landing page to (hype up the business), some catalogue pages to show their products, and a page with contact info (maybe also an “about us” page. Its mainly to look more professional and to have a bit of an internet presence. What would you recommend for that? Either selfhosted or commercial solution.

Thanks again.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I dont think website uptime is a vital issue since it is basically just advertising, catalogue, and then links to their emails and phone numbers but it wont handle any type of sales or orders and I think its the only part that they can realistically self-host. Im aware of the static IP and bandwith issues, still, we have to look into the costs of that.

For the rest, Im looking into comercial options right now. Whats your opinion on proton for e-mail? (If you have any)

Thanks, I’ve looked into proton, seems like a good option for mail. Digitalocean I dont really understand it but it seems more oriented towards software developement. No?

I had thought about redundancy and backups but I wasnt aware of how much it would require. Thanks!

Thanks. Will look into those, they seem like a promising alternative.

Thanks

So, the same thing media websites do when they ignore my “do not track” request?

I’ll check it out too. Thanks again!

I see, at least they give some functionallity.

Thank you very much for all your help. ^.

Did they stutter?

Havent heard of ondsel, I’ll check it out. Thanks! ^.

Damn you proprietary software!!!

Thanks for the info. Seems like it would be safer to use librecad to create and autocad just as a reader/converter. Why people accept this, do this formats offer advantages over the open ones?

Edit: Sorry if im asking too many questions

like sending models/drawings to other companies/clients or whatever.

How can they tell if a document was made on a pirated copy? And how might one avoid that detection

I recently pirated autocad for a friend. While i was looking into it I saw a couple people who recieved letters telling them to stop and one even claimed they required them to scan the pc with some software and send them the results. Also, according to some redittors, other programs on the pc, even those not made by autodesk may snitch on you. So we started looking to foss alternatives, which there are some good ones btw, but in the end we just said “fuck it” and pirated it anyways because we needed to open .dwg files and autodesk had the brilliant idea of making it a proprietary format so they gave us no choice. What were they expecting us to do? Pay? lol

Its been about a month since, no problems so far.
