  • Paid SSL and DNS
    by /u/Billyjamesjeff on March 2, 2026 at 11:36 am

    I have a business domain with namecheap. They are charging a decent amount for a EasyWP App and Premium SSL and DNS. It still works out cheaper than squarespace but I feel like EasyWP should not be $120 dollars a year. Do I need a premium SSL? I’m not doing e commerce or anything with personal info, just advertising really. What about a paid DNS, is that a needed upgrade? Looking at a second domain and don’t want to be spending too much! Apologies, i’m a gardener not a programmer! Thanks submitted by /u/Billyjamesjeff [link] [comments]

    Hi all, I currently use wordpress premium and business for two websites. For one of them I have been using Claude Code to make a beautiful website but the wordpress themes are making it difficult on the layout. I dont particularly love wordpress, I just wanted a place where I can Collect emails Have a contact Page send messages to emails Write blog posts I know I probably sound a little stupid with this but I have been out of the tech industry for some time and everything has advanced so much. AI keeps telling me to self host wordpress on Hostinger but I read reviews and its horrible it seems. I want the ability to use my own code to build the website but not a huge amount of maintenance, and also have the ability to collect emails, write blogs, and have a well working contct page. I also have a google form on one of the pages. Any insights on what tools would be best? submitted by /u/djcolantonio [link] [comments]

  • MilesWeb vs Hostinger India — Done my research, need real-world inputs from people actually running sites on these
    by /u/mrugankpatel on March 1, 2026 at 10:38 am

    Spent the last few days deep-diving into Indian hosting options for a business website. Narrowed it down to these two. Sharing my findings and genuinely want to hear from people with skin in the game. What the research shows: 🔵 Hostinger India – Mumbai DC, LiteSpeed + NVMe, 99.99% uptime in independent tests – India TTFB: ~1.17s (excellent) – Intro: ₹129/mo (Premium) → Renewal: ₹449/mo (significant jump) – Built-in CDN only on Business plan (₹199/mo) — Premium has no CDN – Cloudflare on their own CDN bypasses the Jio/Airtel peering issue that routes Indian traffic via Singapore/Marseille on Cloudflare Free/Pro – hPanel is clean but no cPanel if that matters to you 🟠 MilesWeb – Mumbai Tier-IV DC (PCI-DSS compliant), 100% Indian company – India TTFB: ~1.6s — solid for domestic traffic – More affordable with smaller intro→renewal gap than Hostinger – CDN = Cloudflare integration (needs ticket activation) — same Jio/Airtel routing problem as vanilla Cloudflare Free – Global load time tested at ~4s average — not ideal for international visitors – SSH, Git, WP-CLI available The key tradeoffs I’m stuck on: If my audience is 70%+ Indian — MilesWeb’s India speed is great and cheaper. But is the support actually reliable when things go wrong? Hostinger’s Business plan CDN supposedly bypasses the Cloudflare Jio/Airtel peering anomaly. Has anyone actually verified this with traceroutes or real Jio/Airtel load tests? MilesWeb being Indian-origin feels like a plus for data residency and compliance — does this actually matter in practice for Indian SMEs? Hostinger’s renewal jump from ₹129 → ₹449/mo is steep. Anyone locked into renewal pricing and regretted it? Specifically looking for: – Real uptime experience (not claimed — actual downtime incidents) – Support response quality when something is actually broken – Jio/Airtel users — does Hostinger Business CDN actually serve you from Indian edges? – Anyone who migrated from one to the other — why and was it worth it? – WooCommerce or dynamic site owners — which handles traffic spikes better? Not looking for affiliate recommendations — genuinely want honest experience from people running real sites. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/mrugankpatel [link] [comments]

  • Advise please : Displaced Sitegrounder in India.
    by /u/idontnothing on March 1, 2026 at 5:43 am

    I hosted three websites on site ground, all using WordPress and Elementor … but now that India operations have been thwarted, we stand displaced and I have to move out my websiteS by the next month. One of the websites is most important than the other two – ( the second one is my portfolio and the third one is an e-commerce art store. ) I run a very important cultural website completely self funded and due to that I need to be very careful of the cost that it will entail to host this website. It is very important website for the cultural memory of the subcontinent and into two decades of hard work . and so therefore the material on it is also extremely valuable. I loved site ground for the very reason that they kept this website secure, they would do daily backups, I would get staging capabilities the setup was really simple. the Customer Service was so good that they could walk you through a solution and also by what you are being a very reliable service there was an help on the Internet that I could follow to find solutions . The costs were a bit on the high side but at time I managed to afford that. Now that site ground has discontinued a services to India I have to move all three websites out and I was wondering if there are other hosting sites you could recommend that a good options. What do you think of the one in Hostinger It’s definitely cheaper than side ground but it seems to be the most secure and it is very affordable. My only concern was that I am told that the Customer Service is not that good. I was thinking of moving to the business plan which basically gives me the same flexibilities that a side ground growth plan would’ve given me which is three websites I can stage them when I want I can play with them when I want and the customer service was extremely useful and very very good on moments of panic. They would also take backups every few hours which really makes you feel relaxed about your work online and especially when it is decades of very valuable work online and that is very important for the cultural memory of the subcontinent, that being said I would love your advice. What do you think of hosting and is that something that I can take for around 48 month plan when I was thinking of the “business” plan. Which comes to about Rs.11,000 for three years. I do not want to host who only offer who have hosting operations in India only I don’t think they’re trustworthy . Sooner or later something is going to go wrong because of somebody’s careless mistakes. It’s an unfortunate reality that is true.. Singapore is a really good centre for hosting so any hosting service that will offer anything out of India I’ll take it submitted by /u/idontnothing [link] [comments]
