- Shock Hosting and other alternativesby /u/zamboknee on February 20, 2026 at 10:49 pm
I’ve been with Chillidog Hosting for years and love their prompt service and overall price and ease of use. However, they were acquired by Exact Hosting and so far the experience with them has been…uh..not good. A friend of mine in the same field as me (voiceover) uses Shock hosting and they seem to check all the boxes. I’m wondering if anyone here has any experience with Shock? Any other hosting services you’d recommend for a single person business? Thanks so much. submitted by /u/zamboknee [link] [comments]
- Oracle Cloud free version and hosting WordPress sitesby /u/DigitalSplendid on February 20, 2026 at 5:38 pm
It came to my notice that indeed it is possible to have one or more WordPress websites be launched on Oracle Cloud using their free plan. It would help to confirm how realistic that is. submitted by /u/DigitalSplendid [link] [comments]

- Wonder if there’s risk of using Ngrokby /u/Think-Extension-847 on February 20, 2026 at 12:03 pm
Context: I was trying to open a tunnel to my home WiFi with Ngrok so he can access to my Minecraft server, it was working perfectly until the opn shown as 6 and sometimes 3, while there’s only me and my friend who accessed to the tunnel. I wonder if there’s some potential risk of opening a tunnel like so, like being hacked something submitted by /u/Think-Extension-847 [link] [comments]
- Fast locally, painfully slow on Render free tier (FastAPI + Pandas + Supabase + Redis). Is this expected? Any better free hosting alternatives?by /u/Turbulent-Day2456 on February 20, 2026 at 5:42 am
Hey everyone, I’ve built an AI-powered CSV processing backend and I’m trying to understand whether the performance issues I’m seeing in production are expected — or if I’m using the wrong hosting platform. https://jetcontext.vercel.app/ Stack Backend: FastAPI (async), Python 3.11 DB: Supabase (Postgres via asyncpg, pooler 6543) Cache: Redis (Upstash) Data processing: Pandas + NumPy LLM calls: External API (streaming responses) Hosting: Render (free tier) Frontend: Vercel What the backend does – Upload CSV (up to ~100MB for testing) – Profile dataset (row count, column types, missing values, stats) – Run optimization logic (column relevance detection, filtering, aggregation) – Send compressed prompt to LLM – Stream response back via SSE The Issue Everything runs perfectly fine locally: – Profiling is fast – Query responses are quick – Streaming works smoothly But on Render free tier: – Cold starts are slow – CSV processing takes significantly longer – Sometimes requests feel “stuck” – Larger files are borderline unusable No crashes. Just very slow. My Question Is this simply expected behavior on Render free tier due to: – CPU throttling? – Memory limits? – Container sleeping? – Shared infrastructure? Or is there a better free (or near-free) alternative that handles CPU-heavy Python workloads better? What I’m Specifically Looking For – A free tier that doesn’t aggressively sleep – Better CPU performance for Pandas workloads – Compatible with async FastAPI – Suitable for an MVP Has anyone hosted similar workloads (FastAPI + Pandas + Supabase) somewhere faster for free? Or is this just the reality that free tiers aren’t meant for data-heavy backends? Appreciate any insights 🙏 submitted by /u/Turbulent-Day2456 [link] [comments]
