Latest Hosting News on Reddit

Hello everyone, First of all, I wanted to say that I am very new to this and I may get a lot of terms wrong, so sorry about that. (Also sorry if this isn’t the right sub to ask this.) I currently use OneDrive to store my data. I mainly use it to have a backup on the drive and to sync it between computers. I am a very simple user, as I only have about 60GB of storage there. I want to leave big tech companies and have my data more private and secure and I heard that hosting your cloud is an option. I looked into nextcloud and I should need to use a public cloud provider to use it. I looked into Hostinger and Linode and they seem to be about 10$/mth for 100GB, and that seems like a lot. I also looked into Hetzner and they offer a cloud service, a storage store and storage share for nextcloud that are way cheaper, but I don’t understand what are the differences between this services. Also, I wanted to ask if for a regular user like me it’s worth doing this instead of going for a secure drive service like Proton Drive. I know it’s harder to setup, but I am wiling to learn, my biggest problem seems to be the price. Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/DiogoP0 [link] [comments]

I want to share my experience with ThePowerHost.in because it has honestly been a nightmare, especially for beginners who purchase hosting in a hurry without carefully reading every policy. I bought a web hosting plan directly through their PhonePe payment gateway. The payment was successful, but after that they never provided access to my hosting account. Instead, they kept redirecting me to a KYC verification page. The strange part is that according to their own KYC policy, web hosting services are not even listed as requiring KYC. So the entire situation feels very suspicious. I contacted their ticket support, and for almost a full day they just kept repeating the same things: “Provide contact details” “Check KYC page” “Complete KYC” and so on. I understand if they have a strict KYC requirement, but if they refuse to activate the service without it, then why not simply cancel the order and refund the payment? The hosting account was never activated, and according to their refund policy, the payment should still qualify for a refund. The main reason I don’t want to complete KYC is because I’m not comfortable sharing personal documents and sensitive information on a website that already feels unreliable to me. At this point, I just want my refund, but they keep delaying everything instead of resolving the issue properly. submitted by /u/sabirans04 [link] [comments]

I spent important time looking up managed openclaw hosting options because self-hosting maintenance was eating too much time. Here’s my honest comparison of what’s actually available and working right now: myclaw.ai – $29/month base plan, decent uptime but limited customization options. their UI is clean but you can’t modify the underlying openclaw configuration much. good for basic use cases, frustrating if you want to experiment with different models or skills. runmyclaw – $35/month, better technical flexibility and they actually let you SSH into the container for debugging. uptime has been solid in my testing. main issue is their support team doesn’t seem to understand openclaw very well, so you’re mostly on your own for configuration problems. clawdi – easiest one to deploy, premium pricing but the security architecture is genuinely different with TEE isolation. setup process is the smoothest I’ve tested and their team clearly knows the openclaw ecosystem well. worth the extra cost if you’re putting sensitive data through the agent. clickclaw – $25/month, cheapest option but you get what you pay for. had multiple outages during my testing period and their backup/restore process is manual. fine for experimentation but I wouldn’t use it for anything business critical. xclaw – $40/month, positioned as enterprise-focused but still feels like a solo developer project. good technical capabilities when it works, but inconsistent performance and their discord support is hit or miss. overall, the managed hosting space is still pretty immature. if you need reliability, you’re probably better with clawdi or continuing to self-host with proper monitoring. submitted by /u/mahearty [link] [comments]

I’ve been wanting to make a website to move my blogging onto. I saw on the internet that WordPress was good. I didn’t realize there was 2 different ones(.com vs.org) and bought a subscription to the .com. Is there any point in keeping it or should I refund it before I start learning how to work it. I have no website making experience, if that is any help. Thank you very much! submitted by /u/Gingergirlz [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, With the recent absolute nightmare surrounding the CVE-2026-41940 critical exploit in cPanel/WHM (the 9.8 CVSS auth-bypass that basically handed root access to anyone with an internet connection), I finally hit my breaking point with standard WHM infrastructure. Between cPanel’s aggressive price hikes over the last few years and now zero-day exploits actively being used in the wild to hijack entire servers, relying on a monoculture panel feels like sitting on a ticking time bomb. I’ve been testing out cloud hosting providers that use Hepsia instead of cPanel, and I wanted to share a quick, unbiased breakdown of how it actually holds up for anyone looking to migrate away from WHM. The Good: Why custom/isolated panels are winning right now Security by Obscurity & Isolation: Because Hepsia isn’t running on millions of generic automated servers like cPanel, it isn’t a mass target for automated botnets. More importantly, its file architecture isolates domains into distinct root directories rather than stacking them as subdirectories under a single primary account. If one site gets hit, the rest don’t immediately fall. All-in-One Dashboard: Unlike cPanel where you have to log into a separate WHMCS billing system, a domain registrar panel, and then the cPanel itself, Hepsia handles the site files, domain registration, and billing from one single login. Insane Panel Speed: Because it’s built natively for specific server cluster environments rather than being a bloated “one-size-fits-all” software, the file manager (which supports direct drag-and-drop) loads incredibly fast compared to a heavy WHM setup. The Trade-offs (What to expect) The Learning Curve: If you’ve spent 10 years looking at the classic cPanel grid layout, Hepsia takes a few days to get used to. It’s clean, but the settings are in different places. Lack of WHM Root Tweaks: If you’re a hardcore sysadmin who likes breaking into the command line to tweak niche Apache modules every Tuesday, a managed Hepsia environment gives you less “raw” server control because it’s optimized out of the box. Who is actually using it? It’s surprisingly hard to find hosts using it because everyone defaults to cPanel out of laziness. If you want to check out how it looks/feels, a few independent providers run it. I’ve been testing my dev sites on a American/Moroccan host ( souini Hosting ) lately because their entry tiers are cheap, but there are a handful of others out there utilizing the platform. Are any of you guys actively ditching cPanel after the April/May exploits? What panels (Hepsia, RunCloud, CyberPanel) are you migrating your clients to? submitted by /u/Revolutionarypsy [link] [comments]
