  • What is a file hosting service i could use that shouldn’t be blocked?
    by /u/BraveBlitz12 on May 12, 2026 at 7:20 pm

    Please make it a free, probably no account service with a high limit. I am trying to make unblocked games at school storing things on a zip and decompressing game files from there. submitted by /u/BraveBlitz12 [link] [comments]

  • Hostinger’s New Rate Limiting Has Completely Disrupted My Work
    by /u/drwhow on May 12, 2026 at 1:02 pm

    I honestly do not know what to do at this point, and I wanted to share my experience in case other Hostinger users are dealing with the same thing. Over the past several weeks, I started getting constant HTTP 429 “Too Many Requests” errors while simply using the WordPress admin panel on multiple websites hosted with Hostinger (Business plan hosting). At first I thought maybe it was Cloudflare, maybe one of my plugins, maybe my laptop. So I spent HOURS troubleshooting: whitelisting my IP in Cloudflare, trying different browsers, testing incognito, checking plugins. Here’s the important part. When I work from home, everything works normally. When I work from my office network, I constantly get rate limited. And I’m not talking about automation, scraping, bots, crawlers, or bulk actions. I am literally just opening wp-admin, clicking between pages, editing content, navigating normally and I STILL get HTTP 429 responses. It got so bad that simply moving from one admin page to another is enough to trigger rate limiting. And what makes this even more frustrating is that this is happening across MULTIPLE websites on my Hostinger account. I contacted Hostinger support and after a long back-and-forth, they eventually confirmed they are currently “fine-tuning” new rate limiting protections affecting AWS and Microsoft/business network ranges. They linked me to this incident: https://statuspage.hostinger.com/incidents/gnmsr61jybw1 Their technical team basically told me: – there is no active IP block – the limits were already “relaxed” – the solution is to reduce request volume from my office network But here’s the problem. MY REQUEST VOLUME IS ALREADY NORMAL. I am not hammering APIs or doing bulk operations. I’m just using WordPress admin like a normal person. I explained to them that this issue is now impacting actual work deliverables and creating real-world business consequences for me because I rely on these websites as part of my workflow during office hours. Their final response was essentially: “We understand your frustration, but we cannot adjust the thresholds on a case-by-case basis.” So now I’m left in this bizarre situation where my hosting technically “works” but I cannot reliably use WordPress admin from my office network and there is apparently nothing support can do for individual customers. Honestly, this has started making me question whether I need to move my hosting elsewhere long term, because I genuinely do not know how sustainable this is for normal business operations. Has anyone else experienced this recently with Hostinger? I’d really like to know whether others are seeing the same thing or if anyone has found a realistic solution. submitted by /u/drwhow [link] [comments]

  • Looking for specific providors
    by /u/Parking_Score_8636 on May 12, 2026 at 4:17 am

    Bah! Recently, I’ve been meaning to switch from my current provider, Interserver, for personal political reasons. I tried AWS Lightsail, but quite frankly the service is very shotty and pretty terrible. I’ve been needing to find a cheap provider, perferrably under $7/mo, who would allow port 25 to be open (waiting periods are fine) as I host my own email server. I also plan on hosting some websites with nginx too, but that should be fine. The main requirement is a decent provider who would allow port 25. Got anything? submitted by /u/Parking_Score_8636 [link] [comments]

  • Are there any modern registrars that don’t require ID just to make an account?
    by /u/PercentageNo6530 on May 10, 2026 at 6:51 pm

    PorkBun wants an ID to make an account which makes me very uncomfortable with the recent hacks showing those ID verification companies don’t delete any PII. Are there any registrars that don’t require this? submitted by /u/PercentageNo6530 [link] [comments]
