Hi everyone! before I start this topic, I have nothing personal against Kyle & Carson or the founders of this amazing community, I liked everything they've done so far to help us with Affiliate Marketing and the motivation they provide every single day to each member, and I'm really really enjoying the courses and benefiting from them.

With that being said, let me get into the topic,

Recently, I had an issue with Siterubix hosting's speed, my site response time was slow, on pages, posts, everything, they have done what they could to help me and I apperciate it but it just didn't suit me since it was still too slow for a the world's most advanced hosting, the speed felt like a free hosting to be honest, and so I have decided to delete my site and move it to a VPS (I'm not gonna mention the source to not break the site's TOS) but it was like 5$/Month, I have configured the my own server with Nginx Fast CGI and it worked insanely great, response time is less than 1 second! which was a lot more faster than my site here, it gave me motivation to work on the site instead of the frustration of lagging, AGAIN, it's my feedback, I agree that not everyone here will be able to setup their own server since most don't know how to manage a server so Siterubix's might be the best option for them, but still I can't deny the speed has to be improved.

After 24 hours of deleting my site, I have received a message from TheWATeam (Probably Automated) convincing me to not host elsewhere and reminding me of all the features, I agreed with everything they mentioned, they had daily backups, secured platform, 25 domains, lighting fast support, I agreed with all that until this part:

I'm sorry all but that's is A LIE, you won't be paying 1,250$ a year for 25 domains for an SSL

Why?

The SSL Siterubix is using is called Let's Encrypt Authority X3 you can check it on all of your sites hosted here on the top left so you can tell that I'm not lying.

This SSL (Let's Encrypt Authority) Is completely FREE for Unlimited Websites, GOOGLE IT if you don't know this, in-short, if you host somewhere else you'll get unlimited SSL for all of your domains for FREE (I'm not encouraging you to host somewhere else, the platform is insanely great, it just needs improvements, this is just to clear a point that not everyone is newbie in terms of building websites) This text is misleading, I hope Kyle & Carson can change this and take my feedback into consideration.

That part of the message really made me uncomfortable as someone who's experienced in this area, it really made me lose some trust in WA.

I have to make one thing clear before I end this topic, I truly truly enjoyed the lessons so far with Kyle, It's premium quality with no doubt that deserves the money I paid for the subscription, but of course the hosting is really necessary at Wealthy Affiliate if they want to keep the price point of the subscription of 49$/Month, so I'm gonna move forward with the lessons only, not the hosting. Hopefully as I go in with the lessons I can gain my trust back in WA and renew next Month.

Finally, Kyle & Carson if you're reading this, please take it as a feedback and not an attack, because I'm not attacking, I'm just sharing my experience with the community so far. You guys mentioned in your emails you can take hard feedbacks, consider this as one, so please don't ban me for sharing this :)
