I was developing a small WordPress site for a client, and while looking for free hosting, just for staging, I found an outfit called CloudAccess.net[^] that offered free hosting of a WP site under certain very unclear conditions. But very easy, just click a button and WP is set up for you.
Great, I built and staged the site on Cloud Access, and did a file and DB backup to move the site to my prod ISP. Wednesday I took it live on my local ISP and all seemed fine. Today I found the site logo missing, and on inspect element I found the URL for the logo was an absolute URL rooted at Cloud Access. Then I tried an admin login, only to get a bad password error.
On closer inspection I now find that every single URL I have tried to use on our local, prod WP site is also an absolute URL rooted at Cloud Access. I now have to basically spend several hours tonight rebuilding the local site from scratch and just copying the content over from Cloud Access.

You don't need hosting to develop Wordpress sites.
I normally use Free Portable Webserver (USBWebserver) - YouTube - With that you can run a wordpress site with MySql database access locally on your development machine - basically without internet connection at all.
Extremely easy to work with. It even runs from a USB stick if you should want that.
I highly recommend it! Best invention since sliced bread (and bacon) 
I even have a USB stick with a portable USBWebServer instance and a standard Wordpress installation with the most used plugins. So whenever I need to develop a new site, I just update Wordpress to the latest version, copy it - and Presto! I'm up and running.

So how does my client that is some 400 km away access and review the site?
Otherwise all I do is switch on Apache and MySql and develop away, but then I'd be sending my client several screenshots several times a day and playing email tennis.

You get what you pay for.

Yeah, well, the client has dragged a 2 day project on for 3 months, and without the income from the project, I can't afford paid hosting at the moment.

If this is your rant of the year, you cannot have much troubles in the next 340 days.
[EDIT:] Oh sorry Rage, about the repost.

Is it just me, or have all the articles on the home page taken leave?

C'mon! It's Friday. They went out for some cold beers.

They would be out of luck in England. There you get only warmed up beer.

English rules to remember:
1) Drink your tea before it gets to warm
2) Drink your beer before is gets to cold.
|
|
|
|

3) Don't mix up "to" and "too".
(Or "two". Or "tutu".)

It was happening for me too, now can see articles but the site is running too slow today 
|

They probably did the "updates" to prevent the potential malware threats and those are having a serious affect on the performance of the site.

There is a "category" filter, e.g. www.codeproject.com?cat=3 will only show C# articles and ?cat=30 means ".NET Core".
And rather than showing the N most recent ones, there seems to be a time limit, so you may well select a category that doesn't hold any artcle considered suficiently recent; that's when you get nothing.
Furthermore if you somehow omit the cat parameter (or specify cat=0), it will remember the previous setting.
And then there are some peculiarities:
- ?cat=1 corresponds to the "All" button, but it does not imply you will see all articles, you may even see none at all, go figure.
- and once you established "All" you get more buttons, but some suddenly are missing others such as "C#" and "F#". What a mess.
