Recently I read a long article about the difference between SYSDATE() and CURRENT_DATE() in Oracle databases. It reminded me that I once researched the difference between NOW() and SYSDATE() in MySQL. These functions seem very similar, and for many (most?) uses, you'd be hard-pressed to observe a difference.

Our community is usually not shy about making its opinions known. From threads where people light into providers who disappoint them to people who fall in love with a host and put links in their sig, our readers are passionate about the providers they support. The reviews category is a great resource. We never edit or reject reviews that are posted on LowEndTalk (unless they're obviously fraudulent). You're getting the voice of the community and unvarnished, unfettered user experiences.

In our community, we see a lot of providers who build out a very "same as everyone else" kind of infrastructure: rent some servers, set up Solus and WHMCS, and call it a day. And for some users, that's all they need. But if you want a full cloud experience - load balancers, objects storage, snapshots, K8s, API, etc. - then a company like Entrywan is who you want to look at.

This offer won't be for everyone in our community of mostly DIYers...but some people are DIFMers. As in "do it for me". They're business people, side hustlers, or organizations that want someone else to handle all the heavy lifting. After all, a web site requires a range of technical decisions, and then the actual setup, content creation, artwork, and optimization. For those who'd like to avoid all of that and let someone else do the driving, HostPapa has a Do-It-For-Me plan!
