Sometimes the implementation of setting a pw is really wow... yesterday I create a new db in my 1and1 hosting package. I generate a strong pw with a length of 20 and try to set it. It took me 1h to find out that 1and1 only accept 9 signs and I ranted after that because nobody says that they will just cut the inserted pw and set it with no warning or hint that I maybe should chose a shorter one...

    @Letmecode yes you're guessing right. I'm living in Germany.

    Hosting at 1&1 is so simple but actually I have had to know that security and simplicity most of the time don't match. I think about switch to a root server.

    @Letmecode I've already have several servers at home and in the cloud and yes it's one of the best feelings if you try e.g a new config and it's works. Maybe I'll do that for web hosting as well.

    Haha. Don't know if it is a special German think but I guess it is because sign and character have the same translation in German.
