I run a simple, one-page website for my business. My current domain and host provider has just randomly doubled my rates this year after 3 years of blissful business, so I’m now looking for the cheapest, yet reputable hosting for the most basic hosting services (I’m a noob, and UK based) thanks. submitted by /u/DaggerMastering [link] [comments]

Hey guys, I’m trying to choose between these providers and would love a comparison mainly in terms of: • Reliability / Availability • Simplicity / ease of setup • Cost The providers I’m considering: • Scaleway • OVHcloud • Fly.io • Hetzner My use case is to deploy microservices / APIs (Docker containers). My target users will mostly be in North Africa, so I prefer European servers/VPS for latency. I’m a solo developer, so I don’t have a DevOps team. Ideally I want something where I can set up the architecture once and not worry about it much later. Important points for me: • Predictable pricing (I want to avoid serverless-style billing surprises) • Good storage pricing • Ability to run Docker containers easily Nice-to-have but not required: • Works well with Kubernetes • Autoscaling (especially scale down) If you’ve used any of these in production, I’d love to hear your experience. If you ever had a bad experience with one of these please share Thanks submitted by /u/Limp_Self_3770 [link] [comments]

Hey all, I’m an AWS expert and have used most of their services, but I’m exploring cost-efficient alternatives for deploying a project involving APIs, UIs, and media hosting (videos/photos – not at youtube scale, but very few, say about 50-100 videos). I’ve never deployed outside AWS before, so I’m curious to know what other services offer good scalability and cost savings at the start. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/fresh_preserve [link] [comments]

I am sooo tired of my hosting provider, overcharging and underperforming. I’m paying $12/mo for throttled speeds and unresponsive dashboard. But what really bugs me is the customer support, I get useless scriptied replies when I actually need help and a human to talk to. Am I expecting too much from my hosting provider? submitted by /u/muslihdev [link] [comments]

I’ve been running a few WordPress sites for a while and I’m starting to realize “wordpress hosting” means very different things depending on the provider. Some seem to just be normal shared hosting with WordPress preinstalled, while others push things like object caching, staging environments, better PHP workers, and built-in CDN. For people who’ve spent time optimizing WordPress sites, what features in wordpress hosting actually made a noticeable difference for you? Things like server stack, caching layers, support quality, etc. Curious what people learned after running real traffic on their sites, not just setting up a fresh install. submitted by /u/Beginning_Fig_6434 [link] [comments]
