  • I need a host that does NOT use an AI chatbot where I can reach REAL HUMAN BEINGS

    I need a LAMP stack and just had to quit Hostinger because I can’t get past their damn chatbot no matter how much I ask. Even EMAIL was answered by the thing. Please point me in the direction of a host where a human being replies to chat and email. submitted by /u/Cold_Success_8421 [link] [comments]

  • Need advice about on caching plugin or caching what my hosting provider provides
    by /u/Anonymous_x_95 on March 30, 2026 at 1:17 pm

    Hi everyone, Currently I have a webshop running on WordPress + Divi Theme. I have the usual plugins that every webshop needs on WordPress like WooCommerce etc. For caching I have the free plan from Cloudflare and also the plugin WP Fastest Cache. I have no idea how good both these actually work. I’m a noob in this field and also dont have the wish or time to really become an expert in this field. The industry has told me caching is good for speed and these 2 came out like a good option for my webshop. Today I wanted to create an extra e-mail on my hosting provider Netcup for my assistant and suddenly saw that I have this toggle button for cachine: Caching (nginx) ”Enable nginx-based caching for your website to significantly improve its performance and loading times. Cache settings are already optimized by default, but you can change them at any time on the Apache & nginx Settings page of the corresponding domain.” I asked Claude and the AI says this: ”My advice for your situation: You already have Cloudflare in front of your site. Cloudflare caches your static content at edge level (even faster than nginx). For a webshop like yours, that’s honestly already sufficient. The setup I’d recommend: Cloudflare → keep it on (already active) Nginx caching in Plesk → enable it, drop WP Fastest Cache WP Fastest Cache → deactivate and remove, it’s redundant One important exception: make sure Cloudflare is not caching your cart, checkout and account pages. This causes issues in WooCommerce. Fix this with a Cloudflare Cache Rule excluding /cart, /checkout and /my-account. Do you already have those rules set up in Cloudflare?” What do you guys suggest? Webshop running on WordPress + Divi Theme. Hosting provider is Netcup. submitted by /u/Anonymous_x_95 [link] [comments]

  • [Tech Stack Request] Building a Remote-Managed Multi-tenant Cloud Workstation: Proxmox vs. ESXi for Isolated E-commerce Environments?
    by /u/Flaky_Detective5439 on March 28, 2026 at 10:10 am

    I need a centralized hardware host to provide isolated virtual environments for multiple remote clients. Each client needs their own Windows instance + dedicated physical ISP. Specific Management Requirements: Remote Orchestration: I need a management interface (Web UI) to: Provision new VMs instantly for new clients. Remote Power Control: Hard reset/Reboot specific VMs if they hang. User Assignment: Assign specific VMs to specific remote users with independent credentials. Resource Quotas: Ability to limit CPU/RAM per client to ensure one user’s heavy browsing doesn’t lag others. VLAN-to-VM Stickiness: A foolproof way to ensure VM #5 always and only exits through WAN #5. Hardware & Software Questions: Hypervisor: Should I use Proxmox VE for its open-source flexibility and ease of VLAN management, or is there a better “VDI” (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) solution for a small-scale setup (10-20 users)? Out-of-Band Management: Should I look for hardware with IPMI/vPro support? (So I can reboot the entire host remotely if it crashes). GPU Virtualization: Is vGPU (GPU partitioning) necessary for a smooth Chrome/Edge browsing experience over RDP, or will standard virtio drivers suffice? submitted by /u/Flaky_Detective5439 [link] [comments]
