Thanks. This is good to know, I saw OVH getting a bit of bad press on reddit. but good to hear positive stories.

Do they offer WHOIS privacy for free?

Do you need an email account with a web host if you use Gmail (programming.dev)

A friends business email goes through to his gmail account, but he also pays for an email account with his web host. Is it necessary to keep paying for this email account, does he need it if the email goes through to gmail?

EDIT: What I know is, they both receive and send emails from @theirdomain.com via their Gmail. They have their domain registered with a seperate company than the web host and have access to their DNS records there. With the hosting company they pay for email in addition to their hosting plan.

My friend wants to avoid the extra cost of the email account if possible, and I thought it wasn't required to have an email with your your webhost if setting up the DNS records properly, but not 100% sure. We wanted to get independent advice before proceeding, since the host has an incentive for my friend to stay on the email plan.

Struggling with learning testing (programming.dev)
 

I am really struggling to include proper testing practices into my code and would appreciate any advice on how to get going. I work in web dev so my I am interested in how to properly implement a suite of tests for websites and incorporate into it a CI/CD pipeline.

I find a lot of tutorials teach the most basic types of unit tests, 90% of the time most instructors teach how to write a test to sum two numbers, but when it comes to writing real unit test I find it hard to know what I should be testing. I learnt some cypress and have gotten better at including end-to-end testing because that makes more sense to me, but I still feel I am way short of where I should be.

How can I move forward? Did anyone else find themselves in my situation and find good resources to help them learn? Thx

Hi, I am looking for a WordPress host in the UK (or europe) and I have been researching them extensively, but would appreciate hearing people's experiences.

My research has led me to a Kualo (www.kualo.com), they offer free SSL, unlimited bandwidth, have good reviews on TrustPilot, provide cloudflare CDN, and have a faily decent knowledge base.

Has anyone used them and can offer personal experience? Or any other hosting recommendations? Thanks
