Besides marking them as spam inside the WordPress comments editor, what else should you do when you get this many attempts from the same sender?
Thanks Rob
block them....
under settings>>discussion in your backoffice you can add then to the blacklist....
if you report them as spam then they are notified that you have done this - so i just delete them....

When basic functions aren’t working properly sometimes just restarting your machine will fix it👍🏼

If my site is hosted here at WA, but I bought the domain through GoDaddy and there is a renewal imminent, do I need Godaddy's "Full Domain Protection" on top of their basics and
Hi Rob - the "full domain protection" really is just a money grab, it offers very little for you. I imagine that Domain transfer lock is ON for your domain, so that should be all the security that you need.
You can transfer your domain over to us if you like, or you can leave it with GoDaddy - up to you. When you transfer a domain to WA, you add a year to your renewal, so now could be a good time to do that if you wanted to, since you're about to renew anyway with Godaddy.
If you use your domain management tools at Godaddy, then that might give you some extra control that you do not have here at WA without going through our SiteSupport team.
Hi Carson,
One of these domains is my UK-based local site, so I have kept the hosting on a more localised platform. Not sure if that was the right move but I did do a little research which suggested a .co.uk site was best positioned that way.
Any others I do start to put together, I will bring to WA as I know I am allowed 10 sites with premium, but that just refers to hosting, correct? The cost of the original domain and annual registrar fees would still apply. how much for each registrar would it be, please?
Thank you
Rob
Just do a domain transfer to WA servers. Full Domain Protection is part of the deal you'll get at WA. Since you are a Premium plus members I believe you'll get something in extra.
how does the price compare to a similar domain at wa ....
it might be worth transferring the registrar to wa - you pay an annual fee, but this is given to you in ownership time - best time to do it...
Hi Phil,
I just asked Carson a couple of questions about that as really I did not understand until now what was definitely needed and what was optional.
Thanks
Rob
no worries Rob...
yeah you can host your .co.uk here - the main servers are in America but ( i'm sure Carson will correct me) there are cdn's across the globe to make sure the page loading speed is pretty quick - although i have found there is a lag the other side of the globe....
and yep you will need to purchase more domains and can build more sites on them upto your limit of 10....
or/and have any siterubix sites ( these do use up hosting spaces as well)
i would keep at least one or two slots free to have staging sites (as you site grows you don't want ot make major changes to your live site without testing it - so you make a copy and work on that - staging site- then copy the changed site back to your main site and your visitors will see the new site , which works perfectly as you have tested everything....)
as for page speed testing - i use epic browser with a built in encrypted proxy to place me in a few places around the world - so i can test from page loading speed from different locations.....this way you can decide whether it is worth chnging the host to wa for your .co.uk....
No, you don't. It's a waste of your money no matter where you host your website 😉 Besides if it is for the grace period may you forget to pay your renewal, other hosting companies offer that for free.
