We had a site that was banned with little explanation. We eventually got it reactivated but never got a good answer as to why. My guess is because the ads did really well and CTRs were crazy good. We had an Adwords account banned at one poi

I haven't used SES in over 2 years now so things may have changed but lots of ISP's blocked the emails. Even basic transaction type emails. Also, if you send over 10k too soon, you may be throttled or shut down. Lastly, they also

I always say coding is the easy part of your SaaS. Marketing is hard. Don't forget customer support, which if you are really good at can fuel your sales and act has it's own marketing channel. Let's not even mention all of th

MailGun has better delivery than SES and easier to get setup than SendGrid. I use both MailGun and SendGrid but stopped using SES awhile ago due to delivery issues.

I think that makes our profession pretty amazing rather than weird. Although, I don't think it's easy.

My biggest concern is who determines what is fake news? Seems as though people are now shouting "fake news" if a story doesn't fit within their belief system or agenda. I don't think a voting platform is the solution eit

It is not Amazon I am concerned about. I don't consider them one of the "smaller providers".

Don't get me wrong, I love the cloud and I use a couple of the providers mentioned in this article. But I can't help but think the cloud business is a race to the bottom. Seems as though a lot of the smaller providers are all comp

What people complain about that? Other developers or people in tech? Sure it doesn't look as modern by today's standards but is changing the styling, font, etc. going to make it easier to use? Doing so may actually startle a lot o

IMO, I shouldn't have to use Google to search Craigslist listings. Plus, this method only gives you listings that Google has already indexed.

I believe you are limited to 200 miles with this option.

Haha! Sadly, I have seen CL posts like that. 5+ years experience for frameworks that have only been around for 1 to 2 years.

Am I the only one who doesn't think Craigslist is "Ugly or Janky"? It's one of the only places left on the web where I can go and not be bombarded by ads, pop ups, crazy amount of JavaScript and slow loading. It just wor

User growth is flat though. That would concern me in regards to how much more they can accelerate their revenue in comparison to costs.

Very little sysadmin needed if you go with a managed dedicated server provider. They pretty much take care of most of that for you. A little more expensive than a non-managed dedicated server but oftentimes still much cheaper than the cloud

^ This. I recently moved a bandwidth intensive app off of AWS to a LiquidWeb dedicated server and have been able to save over 50%. The cloud is not the cheapest option and not always needed for small/medium sized businesses/apps.

Most of the web really sucks on fast internet connections too. Thanks to so many web developers thinking every dang thing needs to be a single page app using a heavy JavaScript framework. Add animation, badly optimized images and of course

I was a previous Rackspace customer for over 10 years and at one time had 9 dedicated servers with them. Their Linux techs were top notch. IMO you are smart to want to obtain some of them. Unfortunately stating in early 2015 the support sta
