Hello, I had a website built by a company. Although we had a hosting service provided by Founders Hub for $18,000 during the design phase, the company charged us $250 per month for hosting. Since we are not programmers, we didn’t understand this initially. When we spoke to the company, they couldn’t give a meaningful answer. Now they say they have moved the hosting to Founders Hub’s hosting. I have two questions: These guys charged us for hosting between June and December, but I think they used Azure and didn’t provide any service. How can I prove this? (There is an expense in the billing section; does this prove that they used Azure as hosting?) After our objection, they said they moved the site’s hosting from their own servers to Founders Hub’s Azure. However, we believe there was no move; it was on Azure from the beginning. How can we verify this? Note: There are expenses in the billing section during these dates. Do these alone prove that Azure was used for hosting and that the site’s hosting was on Azure? Thank you. https://preview.redd.it/5dsw6wrm8r9g1.png?width=1775&format=png&auto=webp&s=6642ecd92d7c509a159f89882b3144714c048776 https://preview.redd.it/4a98xrrm8r9g1.png?width=1723&format=png&auto=webp&s=b58d02ee5379bc94a5118ea9de79e681e6e0f28b submitted by /u/Busy_Classroom_9176 [link] [comments]

Genuine question – I’ve been moving sites around lately and it hit me that we’re still dealing with the “wait 24-48 hours for DNS changes” thing. DNS propagation is a real technical process, but with modern infrastructure, most changes actually propagate in under an hour. Yet every host still puts that 24-48 hour disclaimer everywhere? Are hosts just being overly cautious, or is there actually something in the backend that makes faster propagation risky/unreliable? Would love to hear from anyone who actually works in hosting infrastructure. submitted by /u/Miserable_Stress_246 [link] [comments]

Over 1.1 billion websites exist on the internet as of 2025, but only about 17–20% are actively maintained regularly. HostPapa United States Roughly three new websites are created every second — that’s around 252,000 websites per day! HostingAdvice.com Despite this growth, a large number of people don’t fully understand web hosting—surveys show a majority have only a vague idea of what hosting really means. submitted by /u/tejas_bhalerao [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’ve been self-hosting n8n for a while now and helping a few friends get it running without headaches. I’m considering turning this into a small managed service where people could get: a VPS n8n already installed and secured no need to deal with Docker, firewall rules, or updates Before building anything public, I’d like to ask the community: What do you find most annoying when self-hosting n8n? Would you personally prefer self-hosting or a managed setup? What would make such a service actually useful (or not worth it)? Not selling anything here — just trying to understand if this solves a real problem or if people prefer doing everything themselves.

Hi, I am using Cloudflare to redirect the API calls to my domain to EC2, by adding records in DNS (with proxy on), I have also turned on SSL for the domain. Using Cloudflare in the free tier with almost no traffic. It is getting solved if I remove the proxy, but that doesn’t seem right. What can I do? The server is taking up to 1.5 seconds to send data to the frontend mobile app. Is this normal? How can I debug and fix it without compromising on security? What’s the fastest way to get a request from the frontend to the backend?
