Reseller hosting allows you to purchase hosting resources from a provider and sell them as your own, making it a great way to generate passive income. 1. Choose a Reliable Hosting Provider Select a reputable hosting provider that offers reseller plans with good uptime, performance, and support. Look for: • White-label branding (so you can use your own business name). • Scalable plans (to upgrade as your customer base grows). • WHM/cPanel or a similar management system for easy client control. 2. Set Up Your Hosting Packages Decide how you want to structure your plans. Consider: • Storage and bandwidth limits. • Number of websites per plan. • Pricing based on competitor research and market demand. 3. Create a Website and Branding Your business should have a professional website that: • Showcases your hosting plans. • Has an easy signup process. • Includes testimonials, security features, and uptime guarantees to build trust. 4. Automate Billing and Account Management Use tools like WHMCS or Blesta to automate customer billing, account setup, and support ticketing. This minimizes manual work and allows for more passive income. 5. Offer Value-Added Services Increase revenue by providing extra services such as: • Domain registration. • Website migration. • SSL certificates. • Website management and support. 6. Market Your hosting services Drive traffic and attract customers through: • SEO-optimized content and blog posts. • Paid ads (Google Ads, Facebook Ads). • Social media marketing. • Affiliate programs or referral bonuses. 7. Provide Reliable Support Even though you aim for passive income, customer support is essential. Consider outsourcing live chat or using a ticketing system to handle issues efficiently. 8. Scale and Optimize Once you gain customers, reinvest profits into: • Upgrading to a higher-tier reseller plan. • Expanding into VPS or dedicated hosting. • Automating more processes for hands-off management. By setting up a well-automated system and offering quality services, you can turn reseller hosting into a steady passive income stream with minimal ongoing effort.

Good evening!

Roblox and Fortnite have evolved into UGC-heavy metaverses, and GTA 6 may be going down a similar route, according to a new report. While GTA 5’s single-player experience would’ve been enough to make it an enormous success, its GTA Online component and the role-playing servers that spawned from it have cemented it as one of the biggest games of all time. GTA 6 is undoubtedly going to try and replicate this with its own iteration of GTA Online, but when it comes to what innovations and changes it’ll make to its highly successful formula, that’s a mystery. Well, a new report may have given us a window into what to expect. Rockstar has reportedly been meeting with not only prominent GTA creators but those from the realms of Fortnite and Roblox too to discuss supporting more user-generated content to become a wider, metaverse-style platform. It’s been well over a year since we last got any official GTA 6 information, and despite the community pushing a wide range of theories (many including the moon, remarkably) about when we’ll hear more or get a new trailer, the well is still dry at the moment. Even though the GTA 6 release date is meant to arrive later this year, there is still so much we’re yet to learn about what is arguably the biggest release of the decade. However, a new report from Digiday, which cites three industry insiders as sources, has given us a sliver of potential new information. At the forefront of the metaverse push right now are games like Roblox and Fortnite – they’ve become renowned for how they act as a platform for community members to make (and monetize) their own experiences and game modes. It seems that Rockstar is trying to carve out a similar future for GTA 6. “Rockstar Games has been in discussions with top Roblox and Fortnite creators, as well as dedicated GTA content creators, about the potential to create custom experiences inside the upcoming game, according to three industry insiders with knowledge of these meetings, who requested anonymity in order to protect business relationships,” Digiday says in its report, which was spotted by VGC. “These experiences would allow creators to modify the game’s environment and assets to bring their own intellectual property – and potentially their brand sponsors – into GTA’s virtual sandbox.” Digiday says that things are still “open-ended” and Rockstar hasn’t got any concrete plan as to how this is going to play out. However, RP servers (and similar custom game modes) are likely going to be at the heart of this. Despite being such a huge reason behind GTA 5’s sustained interest and viewership on platforms like Twitch and YouTube, Rockstar largely kept a distance from the role-playing community for many years. However, in 2023, Rockstar acquired the creators of the most popular RP mods, Cfx.re – a clear indication that it wants to start bringing this side of the GTA community in-house. If it can provide official support for modders, people that want to run RP servers, or those that just want to create custom game modes outside of role-playing, then it can also monetize it – as with Roblox and Fortnite, the creators themselves will also get a cut of course, but now so does Rockstar. It also paves the way for other companies to bring their brands into this metaverse style space. Of course, none of this has been officially confirmed by Rockstar yet, but it is also a logical path for it to take when you look at the size of GTA’s influence and how well some of its big competitors are faring when it comes to this UGC approach.

I ate some banana bread.

OpenSSH has released security updates addressing two vulnerabilities, a man-in-the-middle (MitM) and a denial of service flaw, with one of the flaws introduced over a decade ago. Qualys discovered both vulnerabilities and demonstrated their exploitability to OpenSSH's maintainers. OpenSSH (Open Secure Shell) is a free, open-source implementation of the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol, which provides encrypted communication for secure remote access, file transfers, and tunneling over untrusted networks. It is one of the most widely used tools in the world, with high levels of adoption across Linux and Unix-based (BSD, macOS) systems found in enterprise environments, IT, DevOps, cloud computing, and cybersecurity applications. [HEADING=1]The two vulnerabilities[/HEADING] The MiTM vulnerability, tracked under CVE-2025-26465, was introduced in December 2014 with the release of OpenSSH 6.8p1, so the issue remained undetected for over a decade. The flaw affects OpenSSH clients when the 'VerifyHostKeyDNS' option is enabled, allowing threat actors to perform MitM attacks. "The attack against the OpenSSH client (CVE-2025-26465) succeeds regardless of whether the VerifyHostKeyDNS option is set to "yes" or "ask" (its default is "no"), requires no user interaction, and does not depend on the existence of an SSHFP resource record (an SSH fingerprint) in DNS," explains Qualys. When enabled, due to improper error handling, an attacker can trick the client into accepting a rogue server's key by forcing an out-of-memory error during verification. By intercepting an SSH connection and presenting a large SSH key with excessive certificate extensions, the attacker can exhaust the client's memory, bypass host verification, and hijack the session to steal credentials, inject commands, and exfiltrate data. Although the 'VerifyHostKeyDNS' option is disabled by default in OpenSSH, it was enabled by default on FreeBSD from 2013 until 2023, leaving many systems exposed to these attacks. The second vulnerability is CVE-2025-26466, a pre-authentication denial of service flaw introduced in OpenSSH 9.5p1, released in August 2023. The issue arises from an unrestricted memory allocation during the key exchange, leading to uncontrolled resource consumption. An attacker can repeatedly send small 16-byte ping messages, which forces OpenSSH to buffer 256-byte responses without immediate limits. During the key exchange, these responses are stored indefinitely, leading to excessive memory consumption and CPU overload, potentially causing system crashes. The repercussions of exploitation of CVE-2025-26466 may not be as severe as the first flaw, but the fact that it's exploitable before authentication maintains a very high risk for disruption. [HEADING=1]Security updates released[/HEADING] The OpenSSH team published version 9.9p2earlier today, which addresses both vulnerabilities, so everyone is recommended to move to that release as soon as possible. Additionally, it is recommended to disable VerifyHostKeyDNS unless absolutely necessary and rely on manual key fingerprint verification to ensure secure SSH connections. Regarding the DoS problem, administrators are encouraged to enforce strict connection rate limits and monitor SSH traffic for abnormal patterns to stop potential attacks early. More technical details about the two flaws are available by Qualys here. Source: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-openssh-flaws-expose-ssh-servers-to-mitm-and-dos-attacks/

Welcome aboard, Guy! 😃

Happy birthday, Aaron!

Every year, SEO shifts, and link building is no exception. While the fundamentals remain, Google’s updates—especially the HCU and early 2024 changes—have refined what works and what doesn’t. If you’re serious about building a strong, sustainable link profile, cutting corners won’t get you far. Many approaches that worked in the past are now ineffective—or even risky. Below are some key insights from recent link-building strategies, including tactics that have worked well and common mistakes to avoid. Why Link Building is Still Critical Google’s algorithm may evolve, but high-quality backlinks remain one of the strongest ranking factors. However, how you acquire links makes all the difference. Many still rely on outdated or spammy tactics that offer little to no value, while others overcomplicate the process. The reality? A well-planned and consistent approach to acquiring genuinely valuable links will outperform most automated, mass-production strategies. The Decline of Link Inserts & What Works Instead Why Traditional Link Inserts Don’t Work For a long time, link inserts were a quick and cheap way to build links. However, many of these links offer little value because: • They’re often placed in non-indexed pages (useless for SEO). • The content wasn’t originally written to support the link. • Many link insert providers prioritize quantity over relevance and authority. If you’re still using link inserts, quality control is key. A simple way to evaluate link quality is by categorizing them into different tiers: • Tier 1: Inserted into non-indexed content (almost useless). • Tier 2: Inserted into indexed but low-value content. • Tier 3: Inserted into content that ranks on Google. • Tier 4: Inserted into content ranking for industry-specific keywords. • Tier 5: Inserted into content ranking for the exact keywords you target (rare but powerful). Most agencies sell Tier 1 and 2 links, which is why they rarely work. A good strategy? Shift toward content creation that integrates links naturally within high-quality, relevant articles. Better alternatives: • Guest posts on authoritative, niche-relevant websites. • Creating resourceful, shareable content that websites naturally want to link to. • Strategic outreach to secure links in already ranking content. Link Velocity – How Many Links Do You Need? Some people worry about “building too many links too fast.” The truth? Quality matters more than quantity. A viral piece of content can attract hundreds of natural links overnight without issues. The real problem arises when: • Links come from low-quality or spammy websites. • The link-building pattern looks unnatural (e.g., a sudden spike in random links from unrelated sites). For newer sites, start with a steady, controlled approach by securing links from relevant, high-authority sources. This builds a strong foundation that outperforms competitors who rely on mass, low-quality links. Competitor Link Sniping – Does It Work? Many believe that copying a competitor’s backlink profile will produce the same results. However, links don’t work in isolation. A competitor’s link might boost their ranking due to: • The overall authority of their domain. • Internal linking structure. • The age and trust level of their website. Instead of blindly copying, analyze why a competitor’s links work and which ones are truly valuable. Instead of focusing only on their backlinks, create a diverse link profile by securing links from other authoritative and industry-relevant sources. The Power of First-Person Content in Link Building Most link-building content is written in a neutral, third-person style. However, in some niches, first-person storytelling can be more effective. Why It Works: • It feels more authentic and personal, making it more engaging. • It stands out among generic, overly optimized content. • Google may reward unique, high-value content that attracts real engagement and backlinks. One strategy is to mix both styles—leveraging first-person content where it makes sense while maintaining traditional approaches where needed. Content Strategy: Writing for the Website vs. Writing for the Link When creating guest posts or outreach content, many focus solely on inserting their link. This is a mistake. A Better Approach: • Write for the website you’re contributing to. If it looks like an organic part of their content, it’s more likely to be accepted and ranked. • Strategically integrate the link so it adds genuine value rather than feeling forced. • Focus on long-term relationships with site owners instead of one-time link placements. The key is to make your link a natural, valuable part of the content rather than an obvious SEO play. Building Your Own Network – The Smart Way PBNs (Private Blog Networks) get a bad reputation because most are spammy and poorly executed. However, a well-built content network can be a powerful tool when done correctly. A Smarter PBN Approach: Instead of spammy domains, create legit, high-value content sites around your niche. For example, if you sell electric bikes, you could create: • A blog about electric bike laws in different regions. • A review site comparing different models. • A guide on the best trails for e-biking. When these sites start ranking, links from them become incredibly valuable. This takes time but offers long-term control over your backlinks. Traffic Quality Over Traffic Quantity Many people assess link opportunities based on site traffic numbers alone. This is a mistake. A website with 100,000 monthly visitors isn’t necessarily a good link source if: • Most traffic comes from irrelevant countries. • The traffic is bot-generated or manipulated. • The site ranks for nonsense or low-value keywords. Instead of focusing on numbers, analyze traffic relevance: • Where does the site’s traffic come from? • Does it rank for meaningful, high-quality keywords? • Is the content genuinely valuable and engaging? A website with 2,000 real, engaged visitors is often more valuable than one with 50,000 low-quality visitors. Final Thoughts: Building a Sustainable Link Profile The key takeaway? Link building is about strategy, patience, and quality. • Stop chasing mass, low-quality links—focus on authoritative, niche-relevant sources. • Move away from random link inserts—curate high-quality content placements instead. • Don’t blindly copy competitor backlinks—develop a unique, well-rounded link profile. • Consider building your own content network for long-term control over your backlinks. • Focus on traffic quality over traffic numbers when assessing link opportunities. Approach link building as a long-term investment, and you’ll see stronger, more sustainable results.

To me, it’s not an easy task to run and manage multiple forums. I find it a lot easier to build one community. I’ve done it before, but I’ll never do it again.

Welcome to the community! [mention=462]nextgen[/mention]

Well ya, you should always look into optimizing your site. Especially to see how it loads on mobile and desktop users. you never know until you test.

I’m the type that pays exactly what is needed unless it’s a credit card bill and i’d like to get ahead.

I’ve also shut down one in the past. It was an off topic/general chat forum. I ran it for about a year before merging it with another one of my communities. It was far too time consuming to run two communities.

Congratulations! [mention=98]InMyOpinion[/mention] Welcome to the team!

I have a fb page with over 2,000 likes and it was quite active a few years ago. But, I haven’t done anything to do it for a while. It still receives a fair amount of likes and comments.

Did you use the page speed dev tool to figure this out?

Bitly, one of the most popular URL-shortening services, is making a significant change to how its free users’ links and QR codes function. In an email sent to users today, the company announced that it will begin displaying preview pages—potentially including advertising—before redirecting users to their intended destinations. This update, set to roll out in the coming month, means that anyone clicking on a Bitly link or scanning a QR code created by a free-tier user may first land on an intermediary page rather than being taken directly to the intended website. [HEADING=1]What’s Changing?[/HEADING] According to Bitly’s email, the upcoming changes include: Preview Pages: Instead of instantly redirecting users, Bitly may display an interstitial (a temporary page) with information about the link’s destination. Advertisements: The preview page maycontain advertising, which introduces a new revenue stream for Bitly at the expense of user experience. Monetization for Free Links: This move effectively makes free-tier Bitly links ad-supported, meaning users clicking these links could be subjected to extra steps before reaching their intended webpage. Opt-Out Available for Paid Users: Free-tier users who wish to remove the preview page experience will need to upgrade to a paid Bitly plan. [HEADING=1][/HEADING] One of the biggest concerns with this change is its potential impact on SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Previously, when someone clicked on a Bitly link, they were redirected immediatelyusing either a 301 (permanent) redirect or a 302 (temporary) redirect. These types of redirects pass link equity (301) or maintain some SEO integrity (302) when used in marketing campaigns or link-sharing strategies. However, now that Bitly will be inserting an interstitial preview page with possible ads, the redirection process is no longer a simple pass-through. Instead, this additional step could have several negative SEO implications: Loss of Link Equity: If the interstitial page disrupts the direct redirection process, search engines may not pass link value as effectively. Crawling and Indexing Issues:Google and other search engines may treat Bitly links differently, potentially impacting how they evaluate the final destination page. Decreased User Engagement Metrics:Because users may abandon the interstitial page before reaching the final destination, engagement signals (such as bounce rates and time on site) may be negatively affected, which could impact rankings. [HEADING=2][/HEADING] If you rely on Bitly for link-sharing and want to avoid these SEO issues, you have a few options: Upgrade to a Paid Bitly Plan – This will remove the interstitial page and ensure your links function as they did before, likely maintaining the same 301/302 redirects. Switch to a Different URL Shortener – Services like TinyURL, Rebrandly, or Firebase Dynamic Links may provide cleaner redirects without interstitial ads. Use Direct Links Where Possible – Instead of relying on URL shorteners, consider using direct, trackable links (such as UTM parameters for analytics) whenever feasible. [HEADING=1][/HEADING] For casual users who only shorten links occasionally, this change might be a minor inconvenience. However, businesses, marketers, and social media managers who rely on Bitly for seamless, trackable link sharing may find this update disruptive. The additional step could: Reduce click-through rates (CTR) as some users may abandon links after encountering a preview page. Damage trust and credibility, as users may perceive the preview page as spammy or misleading. Cause issues with QR codes, particularly in marketing materials where immediate redirection is expected. Bitly’s decision to insert ads into free-tier links marks a significant shift in how the service operates. While this change aligns with a broader trend of platforms monetizing free-tier users, it may also push many longtime users to reconsider their link-shortening strategy. For businesses and marketers who rely on seamless redirections and SEO-friendly links, this update could be a compelling reason to either upgrade to a paid Bitly plan or explore other URL-shortening services that don’t disrupt user experience.
