My vps price increased from $5 to $8. Thats a huge percentage. I’m looking for alternate VPS to get the same services vCores: 4 Memory: 8 GB Storage: 75 GB submitted by /u/Super_Moose5544 [link] [comments]

TL;DR: Stablepoint silently killed their “Unlimited” plans, slapped hidden hard limits on existing customers without notification, and completely broke existing packages to add accounts to my server without editing the packages. Hey everyone, I need to warn the community about some incredibly shady and downright fraudulent business practices happening at stablepoint.com right now. I’ve been running my London server with them and originally signed up under their “unlimited” packages. Everything was fine until I recently tried to add a new domain, only to find out the system completely blocked me as the packages were set to unlimited bandwidth as per the contract and legacy plans I have been paying years for. After digging into it, I found out why: Stablepoint quietly decided to remove the “unlimited” tag and secretly impose hard limits on their servers. No email notification. * No announcements. * No heads-up to existing customers. They just altered the server limits in the background. While the new hard limit might technically be a high number, the fact that they stripped the “unlimited” designation from their backend means my existing packages are now registering as invalid. Because of their silent backend changes. This is a classic, unethical corporate bait-and-switch. They lure you in with promises of unlimited resources, secretly change the deal, and break your server configuration in the process. I’ve paid for one final month strictly to buy myself time to migrate my data completely off their platform. If you are hosting anything with Stablepoint, I highly suggest you log in, check your package limits today, and start planning your exit strategy. submitted by /u/ankushthor [link] [comments]

I’ve been working on a server management panel recently (focused on game servers, but a lot of the challenges overlap with general hosting), and I’ve been thinking a lot about where existing panels fall short. Things like: – performance overhead from the panel itself – UI/UX complexity vs flexibility – scaling across multiple nodes – how much control vs abstraction users actually want Curious from people here, especially those running VPS/dedicated infrastructure: What do you think current panels (e.g. cPanel, Plesk, etc.) still get wrong? And what would you want to see done differently if someone were building one today? Would be really interesting to hear perspectives from the hosting side submitted by /u/badgerpanel [link] [comments]

I hope this question is welcome here, as in the end WordPress as a CMS is widely used by a lot of hosts, while wordpress(.com) is a webhost in its own right run by the company Automattic. I was working on a WordPress website for a while, but I think I have to start from scratch as there’s a lot of updated needed. This is the right moment as well to reconsider moving on with the same host, or starting again at wordpress(.com) which I’ve been using for 15 years and is very user friendly even to less tech savvy users. There is one question I have here. At the WordPress site that I have with a webhost, when you make a blog entry and someone responds, you have several options: approving the post, approving the post and allow the poster to make more replies to blog posts without needing approval for his future posts, granting the person whose response to your blog post had been approved to also write/edit/remove your blog entries, or even granting the person whose response has been approved the right to co-administer your website (including creating, editing and removing static pages). I don’t like those options. I am unsure if these options also exist at WordPress(.com) but I cannot remember having seen them: as far as I know there you can only select to disallow responses to blog posts, having to approve each response to a blog post, or granting the person whose response was approved the right to post responses to all blog entries without needing approval each time. But I cannot recall that there were options allowing the person who responded to your blog entry to create/edit/remove blog entries or static pages at all. I want my website and blog to be mine, without anyone else contributing to it except for visitors leaving a reply to a blog entry. But I do not want anyone to be able to create/edit/remove blog entries and static pages. Could the existance of those options be standard for wordpress(.org) or does it depend which theme you choose if those options exist? submitted by /u/AniMeshorer [link] [comments]

Recently switched from shared hosting to VPS. Performance improved, no doubt – but: Server setup took time Had to learn basic sysadmin stuff Security configs were confusing For non technical users, is managed VPS better option? Curious how others handeled this transition submitted by /u/HotAuthor6438 [link] [comments]
