I’d rather eat lunch in a shared bathroom at 1:00PM on taco Tuesday.

Honey can change consistency, depending on how it is packaged and stored. In addition, you have to consider the cost and risk of storing it. But if you think the bees are going to die off, it could be a lucrative investment.

Ah, I see. Yeah, if you want manage the server at that level, you might need a VPS.

In my case, the host manages the server (I can make a few choices, such as which PHP version is available, but I don’t think I get to choose between Apache or nginx).

If the website doesn’t say explicitly, you can probably contact sales at whatever host you like best, and see what options they give you.

Ah gotcha. Shared Hosting allows for flat CMSes as well–at least for me, I still get SSH access. Often hosts will advertise the “easy” options for cheaper hosting options, but you can usually get low-level access as well. VPS vs Shared Hosting is usually about resource availability, not what you can do with it (VPS will have guaranteed CPU/RAM, while shared options may vary).

For what it’s worth, I use DreamHost and run a variety of CMS systems (WordPress, GetSimple, and hand-coded), and I’m on a shared hosting option. They’re not Canadian, but probably most Canadian hosts will offer similar options.

Not sure why you’d need a full VPS for a “basically nothing” website, but you do you–it looks like Canadian Web Hosting has plans starting at $8/month. No idea if they’re any good though.

Maybe I just don’t have the context to understand this, but it sounds like some sort of a misunderstanding. I can’t say whether you might be on the spectrum, but I’d be equally confused at the person’s response. It’s possible they misunderstood or were otherwise having a bad day. But in this case, I’d say it’s probably not you.

Chili. Almost any stew, really. They only get better when they sit longer.

Once you get a billion dollars, that kind of thing is the only thing that is “off limits” anymore, so of course that’s what they want.

Extreme wealth is bad for everyone, including the wealthy.

I work in the auto industry. Can confirm, Stellantis is in bad shape. I wouldn’t buy anything from them.
