Latest Hosting News on Reddit

Hey – been using godaddy since I launched my site in 2016~ Currently looking at a 3yr renewal for 99$CAD (isn’t egregious personally to my bank acct) Been reading about PorkBun and how it seems generally cheaper, but how can I determine what it would cost if PorkBun lists the domain as unavailable (obviously) Do I have to transfer host to PorkBun just to determine whether or not to stick with it? Hope this makes sense. Looking to also finally step away from Wix… if anyone has any recommendations haha Cheers submitted by /u/xaxabel [link] [comments]

Hi. I have been blogging since 2005. I like to write, I don’t like the back end stuff. I do write erotica with the occasional picture, and link to some “adult sites”, so I need a host that is okay with that. When I started 21 years ago it was cheap and easy, just go through GoDaddy — they even had helpful support! Then came all this other stuff, plug ins, firewalls, SSL, price increases, pitiful support for people like me. I avoided SSL/HTTPS since I am not selling anything, until it finally became so important to SEO that I had to do it. I now have to get a new SSL every year and install it myself, which I hate. Same with firewall. I got DDoS at some point, so I ended up getting a firewall. Then I had all kinds of troubles with IP changing at my host or something and it had to be updated at the firewall level, so my site was down for days. It’s not that I am totally technically illiterate (though I am certainly no computer genius), it’s that I want to focus on writing, not updating SSL certificates, trying to figure out IP / aname type of stuff, etc., I also don’t want to pay some crazy fee like $100 a month. I just do this for fun. TLDR; My blog is a basic wordpress install with adult content. I have 2,000 “active users” and 16,000 “event count” per day according to Google analytics. I am looking for an adult friendly wordpress host where I don’t have to worry about HTTPS (ideally it’s done automatically by the host), setting up my own firewalls, or any other technical back end stuff. I just want to log in to my wordpress and type up some blogs when I get the urge. Any suggestions? I really appreciate anyone who read this far and can offer some guidance. submitted by /u/MisterHonban [link] [comments]

I have designed, built, and run my own website for a very long time – and I’m looking to switch hosts. The “very long time” here is the key to this problem for me – today, hosts are all offering massive AI run site design stuff and horrible (my opinion) control panels. I need a place to upload files, connect to a database, point a domain, and serve email addresses. Can anyone recommend a drop dead simple, rock solid host with no AI crap that I would appreciate? submitted by /u/Appropriate_Dot_5309 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m currently running a SiteGround Cloud setup and I’m exploring whether there are better options. Current situation: • Around 12 websites / shops • Mostly WordPress / WooCommerce • A few sites with decent traffic, but many are quite small • Current server specs roughly 11 vCPU / \~17 GB RAM / \~300 GB SSD • Paying about €300/month While it works well, I noticed that dedicated servers with better specs can sometimes be found for around €100–150/month, which made me wonder if I’m overpaying. However, we are not extremely technical, so I don’t want a completely unmanaged server where we have to fix everything ourselves if something breaks. What I’m ideally looking for: • Managed cloud or managed dedicated server • Ability to host 10–20 websites • Good 24/7 support • Migration support (paid is fine), don’t want any issues here. • Good performance for WordPress / WooCommerce • Something reliable where support can help if issues occur Are there providers that would make sense in this situation? submitted by /u/Just_Imagination2839 [link] [comments]

First of all, many thanks to u/biersoeckli for creating QuickStack, truly amazing job! a quick recap of what’s QuickStack, from the original Author: a free and open-source PaaS that aims to simplify deploying containerized apps on your VPS. It has a couple similar features to CapRover, Easypanel, and Coolify, but it’s built on k3s and Longhorn, which means it’s easier to manage a cluster of VPS. I just wanted to share my fork of this project, which adds new features: Github first experience: Connect your GitHub profile and deploy any GitHub repo you own with a dropdown repo selector and auto web hook configuration (For auto deploy on push). Railpack builder: When configuring a new app, you have the option to choose whether the app has its own Dockerfile, or you prefer “Auto build”, which builds the project automatically for you. HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaling): auto scale the application by defining min/max replicas and target CPU/memory utilization. Easy subdomain: if you have a domain configured in your QuickStack instance, you can create a subdomain to your app quickly and easily. Node Labels Management: Assign and manage Kubernetes node labels from the UI and/or the setup scripts. App Node Affinity: You can ask an app to be deployed on a specific node type (using node labels selector), this can be hard enforced, or a preference (or none). Stale Node Cleanup: if a node becomes stale for >x minutes, then QuickStack can auto remove it. The main motivation behind these features is the ability to easily deploy a PaaS hosting on a group of AWS EC2 instances while having only one medium-ish “On Demand” (constant) EC2 instance, any many small “Spot” (basically AWS left overs) instances which might restart from time to time but offered at a significant discount. So we can deploy crucial apps such as MySQL DB on the main EC2 instance (using the HPA feature), and other non-crucial apps (such as small websites) that we don’t might if they go down for a few seconds once or twice a day, on the small and cheap spot instances. Github repo: https://github.com/Aetherix-code/QuickStack Version 0.1.5 is the first actual public release. submitted by /u/jtannous [link] [comments]
