A couple of weeks after sorting out the quota issue on #Ionos (50GB hard quota on a 250GB hosting package), by them manually increasing the quota to be, you know, actually 250GB, guess what's happened?
Yup. #Ionos's system has reverted the quota back to 50GB and I'm seeing failed upload messages again.
Time to switch to @hetzner
Nun ja, das heisst, dass #posteo die (kombinierte) DNSBL Blacklist von #spamhaus verwendet, und daher Eure Mails abgewiesen werden.
Dies bedeutet, dass entweder die IP-Adresse Eures Servers bei #IONOS oder aber Eure Domain selbst in einer der Datenbanken von Spamhaus eingetragen ist. Dies kann leider schneller passieren als man denkt.
Spamhous selbst bietet unter
einen Check auf IP-Adresse bzw. Domain an und sollte ein Eintrag vorhanden sein, werden dort auch weitere Informationen zur Verfügung gestellt, was man tun kann um von den Blacklists wieder zu verschwinden.
Ggfs. hilft auch eine Mail an den Spamhaus-Support um zu erfahren was los ist und was man tun kann.
Okay, what the actual fuck? I think their site has been compromised.
At the very bottom of the very long malware warning message is this.
That "sophos" link, that looks like it could take me to a site that shows the information for the specific malware that was found does actually take me to an American online pharmacy.
What! The! Actual! FUCK?!
The more I am looking at everything marked red, the more highly exploitative and looking almost like fraud things I see.
I see that migrating to a new provider needs to be tackled soon.
I don't know how other webhosting providers are, but absolutely stay away from Ionos. The scumminess is just appalling. Feels like I'm on the website of an American health insurance.
I have a malware warning that doesn't identify the malware, but takes me to checkout for another service! 
My web hosting provider is sending me messages that my websites are under attack and vulnerable and that I need to take immediate action.
And they provide a link for me to log into my account in the email. That's what phisihing mails would do. WTF?!
And when I log in (not using the link), there's big messages at the top urging me to "solve the problem"
Which is just a link to buy additional services from them.
What the hell, Ionos?
After a week, and conversations with various folk at #Ionos, I have found someone who knows what's going on.
They do, as I suspected, implement "increasing quotas", which means that initially folk are initially provisioned with low quotas, and those are adjusted, in my case, on a daily basis.
So even though the web hosting package is advertised as having 250GB available, the quote limited it to 50GB, then when we hit that increased it to 70GB.
It's now been manually set to 250GB.
So #Ionos definitely have some quota provisioning issues.
I've got SSH access to the storage for one of the packages (Web Hosting), and while the package is advertised as offering 250GB, the output of `quota -s -v` shows only 50GB as the quota.
Now all I have to do is get this information into their support org in a way where it lands with the right person.
Is anyone hosting with #Ionos and hitting weird premature quota problems?
I’ve got a couple of separate packages (Managed NextCloud, and simple Web Hosting), and although the Ionos dashboards say there’s 80+% free storage on both, any uploads to either fail with a “quota exceeded” error.
The NextCloud issue was logged with their support on monday and seems to be going nowhere. 
I just realized that Ionos' HiDrive has an option for rsync!
I've never checked whether a European provider would offer rsync filesystem access for Linux systems, but now, with Trump at the helm, it has become an urgent issue.
Trump Strafzölle: Darum sollten Sie sich von US-Cloudanbietern unabhängiger machen!

ich soll eine #Managed #nextcloud von #ionos zu #Hostsharing migrieren.
jetzt im Ernst? https://www.ionos.de/hilfe/datenschutz/server-cloud/managed-nextcloud-von-ionos-daten-exportieren/
"Beachten Sie, dass die Datenbank bei Managed Nextcloud-Installationen nicht exportiert werden kann."
Wenn ich wenigstens die App User Migration installieren könnte, aber die ist nicht in der Liste der zugelassenen Apps.
bei #ossaas und bei #hostsharing gehören dir deine Daten wirklich, du kannst alle Apps installieren, und du kannst damit hingehen wo du willst!
Habt ihr auch zu #IONOS vermeintliche Phishing-E-Mails?
#Germany's #cloudcomputing market is booming, with significant trends and challenges shaping its future. According to the "KPMG Cloud Monitor 2024," almost all companies (98%) are now in the cloud, with 55% relying on hybrid cloud models combining public and private cloud solutions. This shift is driven by the increasing integration of AI into cloud services, with 97% of cloud-using companies obtaining AI solutions from cloud providers.
Market Size: The German cloud computing market is projected to reach USD 56.52 billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 15.51% until 2030.
Challenges: Stringent data protection regulations, such as GDPR, pose significant challenges for cloud adoption.

Europe faces the risk of becoming almost entirely dependent on foreign technology within three years unless it radically changes its approach to supporting the domestic tech sector, a coalition of more than 80 organisations has warned.

Anyone know a cheap #dns #registrar (preferably also with anycast dns service) that is based in Europe (or at least outside of the US)?
I'm currently at #namecheap, I've looked at #INWX and #IONOS but both are way more expensive. (And IONOS doesn't support some of my TLDs either).
So is there something cheap than those two?
@TLisaB @pixelcode @carmine @chavalarias some other things to be mentioned with #GMX and #WEB:
- #UnitedInternet (GMX, Web, #Ionos, #EinsUndEins) CEO #RalphDommermuth gave half a million to the #noCDU in 2017. That was the largest election donation ever in that election year.
- GMX won a negative award https://bigbrotherawards.de/2000/gmx
- #BlackRock is a shareholder
- Proprietary software as control panel, no mention of #opensource
