Hi,

I'm not the biggest tech guy but can solve most of my problems with AI help, but recently I've just hit a concrete wall, my first problem was when I once tried to import products from one site to another (both on hostinger), after hours of troubleshooting the CSV file I was unable to import the pictures with the media links to the other site, Gemini said that potentially the problem was that hostingers server is blocking incoming traffic as a security feature, I was unable to resolve this issue. Now my newest problem is that I'm trying to connect it with Apollo (automatic email sending app) and trying to log in with an IMAP account, I give it all the things that my email says for IMAP and SMTP hosts and I just get the error: Unable to get a response from the IMAP server.

I'm constantly having problems with anything that is trying to connect to the servers, Is it my own incompetence or can I change it somewhere, because it really seems like the server just shuts down ANYTHING trying to connect to it.

I'm starting a 3d printing business with terrain pieces for RPG, there are a lot of part that take 36-40 hours of printing on my Creality V2 Neo, and i'm looking for an uprgade. My budget is max 400-500$ (tho a lot of companies have payment plans now and thats good for me if it's more then that). I need speed, detail and full control over my printer. Bambulab would be an easy choice but honestly I'm really uneasy about how they are handling their software, I can debug anything (thanks creality) so their handholding sounds like a negative for me. This is really important for me because the printer I buy next will probably be the same I buy after that when I will need to expand. Also I don't need multicolor printing and probably won't in the near future.

I'm using Google Search Ads to promote graphic design services, but it has not been effective, and I want to figure out if 1. Google Ads is not a good way to promote this kind of service, 2. If I just mishandled the Ads, 3. If my on site content is just not good enough right now. Details for clarification:

• Runtime: 2 months Budget: around 120$ (I know it's small but wanted to taste test first)
• Keywords: I run 2 Search Campaigns with really specific keywords, like one for my menu designing landing page and I targeted only the specific keywords connected to it
• Site: My site is 3-4 months old, organic traffic is minimal, I have a landing page for all they major services, price tables etc., I have a semi solid understanding of SEO so I would say my content so far should be good enough to convert people.
• Campaign info: Overall 30k results with 500 clicks (1,6%CTR, I tried switching around titles, descriptions but I couldn't get a better number) with campaigns, one for business card designing, one for menu designing, one for the home page as overall graphical services witch was a little broad, each has a dedicated landing page

My problem is that, even thought it's a small budget, It already is becoming more that what I would get for an average project, so I don't want to just shovel in money without any results, and was wondering if I would be just better off promoting with videos on TikTok / Instagram.
