By Brian Krusic -
So I've chosen to host a website off a VPS on GoDaddy.
All seemed well for the past years or so and its actually still well.
However my account control panel has notified me of a free OS upgrade, oh cool, lets do it, FREEEEEEEE!
So I press the reprovision option as tats how I get the free upgrade and hit the error being something like;
Simple Control Panel not supported. Disable it to proceed.
There is no real that I can see to do this, so I call.
They are pretty quick to answer, only on hold for 5ish min.
Get this, its not possible to disable the Simple Control Panel which I don't use to manage my server anyways. Its a VPS after all so I do it via the normal system tools found on any OS.
Instead you must up it to some other panel, cPanel I think.
This runs an extra $5/month.
Why woud I pay $60/year to get a free OS upgrade which is free anyways?
I'm running and will continue to run CentOS 5.8x32 on it, not a big deal as its a simple web server.
I call this vampire economics; a buck here, a buck there, dayam, were is all my money goin.
