New to this 🙂 At the moment I’m using Kamatera as my VM provider, and honestly they’re very good at what they do — solid hosting, flexible, and very user-friendly. The problem is scale. Right now I have around 100 VMs, all Windows 10 / Windows 11 with RDP, each with a public IP. They’re distributed across London, Milan, and Spain because I need access to local services in those regions. The issue is cost. I’m paying €4k+ per month for VMs that are mostly idle. Not all of them are used at the same time — realistically only about 30 VMs are actively used, while the rest just sit online doing nothing. Most VMs stay powered on but idle. I know Kamatera supports hourly billing, but users don’t shut down their machines, and I don’t want to manually turn VMs on/off because I never know which one will be needed next. I’m considering setting up Proxmox VE and creating a resource pool to dynamically allocate CPU/RAM to VMs as needed, hoping this would significantly reduce costs. Does this approach make sense? Are there better hosting strategies or providers for this kind of workload? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🙏 submitted by /u/No_Conclusion6686 [link] [comments]

Dear r/Hosting, My name is Robert. I am reaching out to the community for advice as I have been building something I think everyone here would like, but I am having trouble with manpower. The currenht issue with the hosting industry is that many of these providers don’t listen to their customers or have a user-first architecture. That’s where this project comes in, we are a user-first infrastructure company that creates our product around feedback and what people need but don’t currently have. I have been building this startup for the past year with people I know in the current infra industry and in the cybersecurity industry, however, we have recently had to restructure and redesign our entire site and our product, as we realized we were not being user-first, user-first means compiling feedback and understanding what people want, not building another copy and paste hosting site. So, that’s why I am reaching out to everyone in this community, if you have experience in React, TypeScript, or even Low-Level Languages you may find useful in this case, reach out, no matter what you do, you could be a designer, we need all hands on deck for this, and I am sure we can find a role, if you want to help just reply here and I will pm you or just pm me directly and send your work/github as I would love to see what you guys have built. Thanks for reaching my wordful of a message, and thanks for your time, If you are also tired of the current solutions, reach out, I want to thank you guys 2x for reading this as I know it was a yapful. submitted by /u/statulr [link] [comments]

I’m moving my very simple website to Hetzner’s basic hosting plan, but keeping my domain name registered elsewhere. (I’ve already updated the nameserver records at that registrar.) In the SSL manager the option to request a free certificate is missing, with only a paid business one offered which is overkill for my needs. Unfortunately Hetzner’s two lowest tiers don’t include SSH access, so other methods for configuring a certificate are out. Do they really sell a product that has no way of adding a basic SSL certificate? I’m surprised that this didn’t come up as something to avoid when I was researching hosts. submitted by /u/objects_fun [link] [comments]
