- GoDaddy is Horrible!by /u/chezmichelle on January 16, 2026 at 7:42 pm
I was a GoDaddy customer 15+ years ago with no issues. Recently I bought a domain through them and used their website builder, and the entire experience was just awful. I tried to create an online store with the GoDaddy Web Builder. It wouldn’t save products, and when it did save a product, the information wouldn’t upload to my website. I called support 3 times over a week. Last time I was on hold for over an hour waiting for the guy who answered the phone to text tech support to get answers. But they had no idea what the problem was. I tried everything I could to make it work. Finally I had enough and told them to cancel and refund me. That was another 45 minutes on the phone while the customer service rep texted billing and commerce and then checked the refund policy (I only had the website hosting a week). Finally I was refunded. Tried to port my domain over to another host (WordPress) but it was locked. GoDaddy had me on the phone for another hour, sending me 3 codes via text and then putting me on hold to contact whatever team had to email me an unlock code. Turned out I didn’t need to give the receiving host any unlock code. This was all just a waste of my time. Anyone thinking about GoDaddy, just don’t. I ended up hosting my domain with WordPress, where I was able to port it for $9. Hosting setting up an eCommerce website has been easy so far with no issues. submitted by /u/chezmichelle [link] [comments]

- Looking for a cheap VPS provider in Europe for VPN hostingby /u/lynob on January 16, 2026 at 5:06 pm
I’m looking for a VPS to host a wireguard instance in Europe, ideally france or the Netherlands. What I’m looking for: – No DDOS filtering over IPV4 or IPV6 – NO UDP Shapping Over IPV4 or IPV6 – Unlimited traffic or at least 10TB – At least, 1 GBPS internet speed, minimum OVH. Hetzner, Aws, oracle, all implement DDOS filtering making it impossible to host a VPN, UDP packets will drop when the DDOS filtering is triggered OVH doesn’t have DDOS filtering over IPV6 or on their bare metal servers. I can’t ask all my family and friends use to IPV6, they don’t know how to switch. Android doesn’t support IPV6 over wifi by default, unless you change some router settings and I’m not going to buy a bare metal server just for wireguard. I’m currently using ramnode.com, but they switched to a new datacenter and they’re asking me to switch and tell everyone to reinstall another wireguard vpn profile. So I’m checking if there are better options. Ramnode offers 10GBPS and decent bandwidth. https://ramnode.com/pricing I’m currently using the $5 per month plan, in Netherlands: – 1GB RAM, 1 CPU core, 40 GB SSD, 2TB bandwidth, 1 Gbps internet speed – They’re currently giving me unlimited bandwidth, if I switch to the datacenter, they’ll start monitoring the bandwidth and they’ll give me 2 TB, but they charge only egress (outgoing) traffic. – The new datacenter has 10Gbps internet speed submitted by /u/lynob [link] [comments]
- Is VPS hosting really worth it for small websites?by /u/OkCry7871 on January 16, 2026 at 1:13 pm
I see a lot of advice saying to move to a VPS once a site grows, but in real life, it feels less clear. At what point did VPS start to feel worth it – traffic, revenue, resource limits, or something else? Curious to hear real experiences. submitted by /u/OkCry7871 [link] [comments]
