Latest Hosting News on Reddit

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]

I have a website where I share DJ mixes. It doesn’t get a lot of traffic so doesn’t use a lot of bandwidth, and I am only using about 6gb of storage. For years, I used Dreamweaver to cobble together an admittedly janky site, and then switched to WordPress 18 months ago for a better interface and user experience. The problem is that, since the switch to WordPress, my host (HostPapa, who bought LunarPages where I originally had it) sends me an email every few months saying the site is exceeding resource limits and they try to upsell me to a much more expensive plan. The first few times, I was able to open a ticket with their support team, who told me to install a plugin or change a setting, and that took care of things. But now they’re saying the site is fully optimized and I’m still exceeding resources, specifically CPU, I/O and RAM limits. I’d like to change hosts and a web search got me to Liquid Web, who offers a WordPress plan for as little as $4/month if I pay for three years, a much lower cost than HostPapa wants. However, the Liquid Web person I talked to on their chat said, “Please note we do not offer RAM and cores, we rely on PHP wokers with all Nexcess plans.” Here’s where I admit I don’t really understand this stuff, or know the difference between Nexcess and RAM and cores. Can anyone help me gauge whether switching to Liquid Web (or someone else) will give me enough resources for the site? Any tips would be appreciated. submitted by /u/2manyhotdogs [link] [comments]

Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for a high-quality hosting provider using LiteSpeed for a client based in the UK. The price is not the main factor – performance and stability are more important. The website will likely run on WordPress, so good compatibility with LiteSpeed Cache and proper server-level optimization would be ideal. Thanks! submitted by /u/BeneficialSite6550 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I recently ran into a problem on one of my WordPress sites where it suddenly showed “508 Resource Limit Exceeded”. At first I thought the website was hacked or something, but later I realized it was mostly related to CPU usage and server limits. From what I noticed, a few things can cause this: Too many plugins running at the same time A heavy theme or badly coded plugin Bots hitting the site again and again Shared hosting CPU limits getting exceeded In my case, I disabled a few unused plugins and also added a simple caching plugin. After that the site started working normal again. I also checked the hosting control panel to see which process was using too much CPU. I’m still trying to understand this better though. My question is: What is usually the main reason behind the 508 Resource Limit Exceeded error on hosting? And what are the first things you check to fix high CPU usage on a website? Would like to hear what others do in this situation. submitted by /u/choicereader [link] [comments]
