Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I’m setting up my first real online store (small batch candles, nothing fancy) and I keep running into completely different opinions on what “good hosting” even means for around $15-20 a month. I don’t need anything wild, just steady uptime and decent speed for customers in the US who are mostly checking out from their phones at 11pm. I tried Hostinger for a smaller side project last year. It held up fine. But I don’t know if that experience holds once real money is moving through it every day. I’ve seen people swear by DigitalOcean, SiteGround, even Bluehost, and every single one of them says theirs never goes down. At this point I think “best” depends entirely on who got burned by what, so which one has actually held up for you under real customer traffic, not just when you spun up a test box and it worked once submitted by /u/heisenberg19038 [link] [comments]

My dad ran a hosting/site-maintenance business from a spare bedroom for 15 years – just him, a part-timer, and like 40 clients paying flat monthly fees, when he turned 58 and retired, he handed it to me – everyone in my family was thrilled, I wasn’t. It nets abt 3200 dollar a month, but I’m on call like ALL THE TIME – including my birthday, for panicked texts and 3am “the server’s down” calls from clients with zero concept of business hours.Last month a dev shop offered me a junior dev role for like 2400$ a mo – pay cut, but I’d finally be building something instead of babysitting servers, but when I told my dad I’m considering selling or winding it down, he gave me the silent treatment for two days, then asked if everything he built means nothing to me. I’ve looked at moving clients onto sth like Hostinger so they’d call a support line instead of texting me – but that just outsources the problem for a fee, which honestly still sounds good. AITA for wanting out of something that already works, or crazy to spend 20 years running servers for people who only reach out when something’s broken? submitted by /u/Educational-Map-9565 [link] [comments]

Is gravel host worth it or a outright scam? All the reviews are mixed and confusing and has anyone actually used it? submitted by /u/Kooky-Gate4206 [link] [comments]

I am currently running Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, and some Docker containers.The current host often has disk I/O problems under load.I am considering HostZealot’s EU PoP plan.They have a wide range of coverage in more than 18 data centers around the world.Does anyone use HostZealot to host their own personal application stack?How is the disk performance under continuous high load? submitted by /u/AddisonWashington [link] [comments]
