Patron oc swaps uploaded on my website
Took me 2 days, but i finally got them all uploaded(minus the first 5 whom i havent found yet, as i forgot to tag them on patreon :-D...) youd think 50 uploads wouldnt take that long, but unfortunately my websites server is very slow so it took ages to edit each post, and upload the same image twice for every post.
(find the patron swaps here - http://liardart.com/patron-rewards/ or search for swap in my archive. I have not yet tagged them properly, as that would take ages with my current webpage speed...)
It takes 8 seconds to load the front page on my website using a internet with 200 download speed. Which makes me wonder how long it takes for slower internets to load my website. (if any of you have around 10-30 download speed on your internet, it would be awesome if you could say how long it takes you to load forexample my websites front page (http://liardart.com/)
Then ill know if my websites speed is problematic, or if i should just stick with it being the way it is.
also, vps host suggestions anyone?
Ive been looking into getting a vps to make my website faster, but jeeeeeesuuuuusssss are they expensive. I paid like 400 dollar for 3 years of my websites hosting(which ends in 6 months), and with a vps it would jump right up to 1,1k usd as a bare minimum for 3 years ://// I barely used my website up until now though, but since it will now be my main focus, I really need to fix the problems that have been stacking up.
If any of you are familiar with hosting websites, i would love it if you could throw me some reccomendations. ive looked at 3 that i found on google, but they have all been 1k + for even the cheaper vps, and i frankly think those are insane prices to pay right out of my pocket <:D...
Id pay monthly, but that in the long run will be very expensive compared to buying 3 years, as the 3 years subscriptions usually have 50 - 80% off (yet theyre extremly fucking expensive for a pleb like me.)
if i cant find a cheaper vps host, I might open 2-3 bribe commissions, and then beg you guys and some of my tumblr followers for donations. (not to my patreon, but to a paypal ill open if i end up having to beg for money) then id pay 400 dollar myself, or more if i have to.
This is the default price from the host website i use, but i spoke to a support a few hours ago, who was cool enough to get the price down to 1,353.19. (i obviously asked for a lower price package, but that apparently wasnt possible as there is no package inbetween my current package, and the vps packages, so I unfortunately have to do this huge ass leap) The same goes for all of the other hosts i looked at. it seems they all jump from my type of package right up to vps servers :///...
(it says its like 3k dollar in discount, but for most other host websites that amount of money is pretty much around standard price, just for a slightly worse package. (so im fairly certain that i just got around 400 dollar in discount all in all, but ill take what i get..)
Honestly idk how these host websites work, as they all have these huge ass prices, and all of them have like retarded discounts of 50-70% off, with insane base prices.. that noone ever have to pay..... because there is allways sales....... as long as you buy 3 years instead of monthly.................... because monthly packages have no discounts, so it gets expensive fast....
