Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I want to share my experience so that website owners, affiliate marketers, app developers, and entrepreneurs can make informed decisions and better protect their businesses. I operated websites and mobile apps related to affiliate marketing. My business worked with established affiliate networks, and my apps were approved on Google Play. One day, my Hostinger account was permanently suspended. According to Hostinger, the account was classified under their prohibited activities policy and identified as high-risk financial activity. My main concern was not the suspension itself. I repeatedly explained that I was willing to move to another hosting provider and only needed access to my website files and databases so I could continue my business elsewhere. 📌 I requested: ✅ A backup of my website files ✅ A database export ✅ A one-time data download ✅ A review of the decision ✅ An opportunity to provide business documents and evidence of legitimacy 📌 Hostinger informed me that: ❌ The suspension was permanent ❌ No backups would be provided ❌ No files or databases would be accessible ❌ No additional documentation would change the decision ❌ Only domain transfer assistance would be offered 💔 The hardest part I was not given an opportunity to retrieve my business data before losing access. As a result, I lost website content, business assets, development work, and significant time invested in building my projects. I respect every company’s right to enforce its policies and protect its platform. However, I believe website owners should understand the importance of maintaining independent backups and carefully reviewing hosting providers’ suspension and data retention policies before relying on them for critical business operations. 📚 Lessons Learned 🔹 Keep regular off-site backups 🔹 Store database exports independently 🔹 Use Git repositories whenever possible 🔹 Never rely solely on hosting-provider backups 🔹 Review account termination and data-access clauses before purchasing hosting 🔹 Have a disaster recovery plan for your business This post reflects my personal experience and is shared to help others make informed decisions and avoid similar situations. Have you ever experienced sudden account suspension or loss of hosting access? I’d be interested to hear how you handled recovery.

I’m building my own infrastructure for offering web hosting services, and some cloud services, contracting bare metal servers in the USA, and installing several VMs inside each one. Every VM has Debian and HestiaCP. I want to keep it as simple as I can, and avoid overselling each bare metal and each VM. Any advice about services/tooling/ideas I can apply to be more efficient and bring a good service? Thanks in advance, guys 💯 submitted by /u/One-Suggestion-7906 [link] [comments]

Because of this increase, I am looking to migrate to another (inexpensive) email provider. I added a question on someone else’s Reddit post back around March of this year asking for inexpensive email hosting provider recommendations. I received some recommendations such as setrahost, hostinger, zoho, bluehost, mxroute, and at least one other that I could not find again. This one in particular that I checked out and thought I would come back to after a planned trip. However, the Reddit app was updated in the last few months and the posts/comments previously seen in the app, are no longer there. I have been searching as best as I can in Reddit, but have come up empty. Note that I do not need web site hosting. I would be grateful if anyone can suggest other email hosting providers, and maybe I the one I recall, but cannot find, will be included in the list! submitted by /u/TroglodyteGuy [link] [comments]
