Latest Hosting News on Reddit

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]

Hi everyone, I’m currently running a SiteGround Cloud / reseller setup and I’m wondering if there are better alternatives out there. My current setup: • Around 70 domains • Around 60 hosted websites • Mostly WordPress / WooCommerce • 11 vCPUs total (8 + 3) • Around 17 GB RAM total (14 + 3) • 310 GB SSD • Paying around €300/month I’m not unhappy with SiteGround, but I’m curious whether there are better options in this price range with similar or better performance and support. What I’m looking for: • Fast and reliable hosting • Good performance for WordPress and WooCommerce • 24/7 support • Ability to host 50 to 70 websites • Migration support, even if paid • Something that is manageable for someone hosting many client sites • Preferably agency or reseller friendly I’m technical enough to handle some setup myself, but I do not want to spend a lot of time managing servers every day. I’m mainly looking for experiences with providers that might be a better fit than SiteGround for this kind of setup. Would you stay with SiteGround in this situation, or are there better alternatives around this budget? Thanks. submitted by /u/Just_Imagination2839 [link] [comments]
