We got 2 dedicated servers last year with OVH. Servers are fine. We get raising energy costs, inflation and such. However, jumping 54% in 11 months is not ok. No proper justification. Just an email saying: “You will pay more, don’t like it? Cancel here.” No grandfathered plans. Support does not care and happily sends cancellation link. Needless to say, we’re done. Now we have a few weeks to move out and forget this nightmare. Same. Exact. Hardware. From $1,050 to $1,616 in 11 months. submitted by /u/SpellMyNameRightNow [link] [comments]

I run an online service using a .cloud domain since the .com domain was already taken. (The company name I use is great for what we do, so i don’t want to change it) I’ve been perfectly happy using .cloud and showing up alongside a completely different kind of company who had the .com Recently, It looks like the .com owner has shutdown. The .com version of my domain seems to be parked with GoDaddy. But, I can’t simply go buy it. GoDaddy wants $99.99 to hire someone to negotiate a price with the owner. I don’t want to pay them for that. I just want to work directly with the current owner, but all their WhoIs info is private and GoDaddy seems to be the only way to contact them. Anyone ever deal with this and have advice? TIA Bob submitted by /u/bobgager [link] [comments]

I currently use a combination of inMotion Hosting and AWS to deliver a number of things. AWS is great, with the exception of Email. Sure, I can spin up my own email server, manage it and all that, but I don’t want to be spending my time doing all that. Their turnkey solution works great, but costs $4/user per month. I don’t want to pay for that at scale. Happy to pay usage/storage costs, but not per user per domain. So… I use AWS for domain hosting and lots of other services, but use inMotion to manage email as there isn’t a per user or per domain cost. Just the (overly expensive) inMotion VPS fees I’m paying. So… Looking for either an easy to deploy/manage AWS service that supports unlimited domains and users, or some other service that would do turnkey email server stuff for a reasonable fee. submitted by /u/bobgager [link] [comments]

I’ve not heard of this company until recently. They have a higher trust pilot rating the OVH. So I’m wondering if you guys have had any experiences good or bad with them. submitted by /u/TwisleWasTaken [link] [comments]

Setting up my first business site and I managed to point the website somewhere, then nearly messed up email with a random DNS change. I need a beginner friendly way to manage this, thanks in advance submitted by /u/Capitacretel_Bu7549 [link] [comments]
