Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I posted this originally on r/selfhosted, got a bunch of responses saying they had similar issues with this company, then the moderators removed the post. So I’ll try reposting here because I googled this company before ordering, and only good reddit reviews showed up. Maybe for the same reason. For the benefit of anyone in the future who may order from this company I will try to post again, and see how long this post stays up before the moderators remove it. It’s amazing that you can’t leave a review for them on google either. It really seems they are using internet corporate plutocracy to hide any negative comments from the internet. Anyway, I ordered a $175 zooz z-wave device from them on my phone, and got an e-mail confirming the order. Then the next day, I got an e-mail cancelling the order “because it was placed using masked or anonymous IP software. For security reasons, we can’t process orders unless the IP address is visible. Please disable any VPNs or proxies and feel free to reorder. Let us know if you have questions.” Why would they turn down potential customers just because they use a VPN? Seems like a poor business move as I will just buy the equipment elsewhere. Anyway buyer beware, don’t bother placing an order from them if you use a VPN. They will let you surf their website and place an order and waste your time that way, then just cancel the transaction the next day. submitted by /u/peterchech [link] [comments]

I need for single website so if it’s better to buy single plan or will I get any good feature in premium plan which will be helpful like 1 year free domain. Where I can buy domain in cheap price and any other suggestion for hoisting. My requirements are 1 website with blog and appointment feature good speed. Minimal loading time, no downtime, secure, easy maintenance submitted by /u/Dr_Psytrox [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I need some guidance to make sure I don’t mess this up. I currently have a Hostinger Premium Web Hosting plan, which I bought on 15th January 2025 using my personal email, and it’s expiring on 15th January 2026. At the moment, I’m hosting only one WordPress website on it. This site is important because it’s tied to freelance work, and it’s working perfectly — so I cannot afford any errors, downtime, or data loss. Since I’m only using one site, I feel that Single Web Hosting makes more sense for me. I do not want to renew the Premium plan, and I don’t want to pay for anything else apart from the Single Web Hosting plan. My goal is to keep costs minimal while ensuring the site continues to work exactly as it does now. I’m planning to buy a Single Web Hosting plan and move this existing WordPress website to it. My questions: Is switching from Premium to Single Web Hosting the right decision if I only have one WordPress site? What is the safest way to migrate the website so that: Nothing breaks No downtime happens All data, themes, plugins, and settings remain exactly the same Should I: Buy the new Single plan first and migrate? Or wait until the Premium plan expires? Since both plans are on Hostinger, is there an official/internal migration option that’s safer than doing it manually? Anything specific I should double-check (emails, DNS, SSL, backups, etc.) before making the switch? I’m being extra cautious because this site is live and client-facing, and I really can’t risk errors. Would appreciate advice from anyone who’s done this before 🙏 Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/SDstark79 [link] [comments]
