Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I spent the last few days trying to report a very obvious scam website that was hosted by Hostinger, and I’m still blown away by how difficult they made it. I sent them everything: screenshots, documents, URLs, the whole story. Instead of acting, they kept asking me for the same information over and over, like nobody was actually reading anything. Every time I tried to escalate, they pushed me back to the same team that wasn’t doing anything. Then came the template emails. I got multiple messages saying the site “has been suspended,” but the site was still fully online. When I pointed that out, they suddenly acted like they didn’t know which URL I was talking about, even though it was in every message. The wildest part? They told me to contact them from the scammer’s email address. I still can’t wrap my head around that one. Meanwhile, their public replies on review sites made it look like I wasn’t giving them enough information, while privately they were contradicting themselves and stalling. The only moment things suddenly changed was when they noticed that one of my earlier emails had an ICANN address in the BCC field. I hadn’t even submitted a formal complaint yet. But the tone changed instantly, and shortly after that, the domain was finally put on hold and the site went offline. It’s honestly ridiculous that it took this much effort. Most people would have given up long before that point. And that’s what worries me — how many scam sites stay online simply because the reporter doesn’t have the energy to fight through this mess? Hostinger loves bragging about becoming “one of the biggest hosting companies.” After this experience, I can see why. If you host every scammer under the sun and make it nearly impossible for people to get them taken down, your numbers grow fast. I’m relieved the scam site is finally down, but the process was unacceptable from start to finish. I expected a hosting provider to take fraud seriously. Instead, it felt like I had to drag them to the finish line. submitted by /u/GuessSuitable7711 [link] [comments]

Alright, so I just spun up a new VPS and now I’m sitting here staring at a fresh install like…now what? I know the standard things – perform a few speed tests, verify disk I/O, conduct a short curl test. But I think I’m probably missing something. I’ve been burnt previously when everything looked good on paper, and then as soon as actual traffic came, it was all over. What are the real steps you take to make sure that a new server is rock stable before pointing a live site to it? I mean other than yabs or bench.sh. Do you like to mimic actual traffic? MySQL performance under load? Check a few things like Test how it handles simultaneous connections? I’ve heard about people running load testing with tools like wrk or ab but I’m not sure what statistics I should be really looking at. Also what is your cutoff for “this is good enough” versus “this server is trash”? Would love to see your real checklist. Not the marketing version. The genuine thing. submitted by /u/onliveserver [link] [comments]
