They make you talk to the Ai, there is zero way to talk to a human anymore. You can get it “reviewed by a human” but the response comes back as an Ai response. You aren’t really talking to a human. Never will I pay for 4 years of service at any company, up front. I’m thankful I have Oracle’s free tier server that I can utilize while they are offering it. Reviews on that are 10/10. Never had any issue with it. Just wasted my money on this damn shared hosting. Just as an FYI, this came up cause for (zero) reason on my side my portfolio site (tiny PHP site) went down 3.5 hours ago right as I was going to the movies. Didn’t find out until the movie finished. (Coyote vs ACME is great, btw!) and I had to talk to an Ai, When I basically screamed at it for a human it said a human was reviewing it. They barely did though. Took me 45 min to get the answer that my IP was part of a DDOS attack and my site will be down until that is resolved. -.- Regerts. Edit/Update: Talk to them and finally got to talk to a human and he is trying to extort MORE MONEY out of me for something that isn’t even my fault. The audacity. Thanks for your patience! I see your hosting IP address is currently being targeted by a DDoS attack, which floods the server with fake requests, making it hard for legitimate visitors to reach your site. However, your files and databases are not affected. To protect your site, we’ve null-routed the IP address, and we’re actively monitoring the situation. Once it’s safe, we’ll bring your site back online immediately. To reduce the risk of future attacks and improve your site’s performance, we offer Cloud hosting plans with dedicated resources like IPs, processing power, storage, and memory. Thanks for your understanding! If you have any questions or need help, just let me know! 🙏 submitted by /u/AngelicPrincessKitty [link] [comments]

I have a few questions: – So people should be able to access my media across instances, right? What will the traffic look like if I’m hosting like 3TB of FLACs? – Will I get copyright striken to death? I mean if they know my IP and I’m hosting music that isn’t in the public domain. submitted by /u/UncurledWire [link] [comments]

Ai builders are obviously changing the hosting/reseller space, but I’m not convinced they’re going to eliminate it. An AI agent can now build a surprisingly complete website in an afternoon, including databases and forms. The bigger question is whether a normal small-business owner actually wants to manage everything that comes after that. DNS propagation, SSL certificates, backups, plugin conflicts, broken pages, expired domains — those are the kinds of things that can turn into a panic call when someone isn’t technical. And if a website is generating bookings or leads, having someone available to troubleshoot the problem can be worth more than simply having the ability to generate the code. That’s one reason managed hosting still makes sense for a lot of small businesses. Hostinger is one option I’ve seen discussed for people who want more of that support layer, while DigitalOcean gives you considerably more control but also leaves more of the management to you. GoDaddy is another option that plenty of businesses continue using simply because they’re already there. AI is going to make building websites easier. I’m just not convinced that means the hosting and agency side disappears — the need to actually keep those websites running is a different problem. submitted by /u/Choice_Volume4090 [link] [comments]

Hii guys I’m running a project in production on AWS RDS and currently paying around $20 a month. That’s starting to feel a bit painful. I’m looking for a fully managed PostgreSQL provider that’s significantly cheaper, ideally under $10/month or Free. I need at least PostgreSQL 15+, 1 GB RAM, and 20 GB SSD storage, with managed backups and a web dashboard. I’d prefer to avoid AWS/Azure/GCP because of the pricing complexity and I’m also not interested in OCI or managing a VPS myself. Are there any smaller cloud providers, PaaS platforms or dedicated database hosts you’d recommend? for stable pricing and good latency in India. Would love to hear what you guys are actually using.
