Latest Hosting News on Reddit

Marketing has changed a lot. Keyword names are not as relevant. Would a new name throw you off your long term host? submitted by /u/webhostpro [link] [comments]

Someone close to me sells reseller hosting plans, and he’s been trying to get me to sign up as a customer. I get why it’s a good deal for him, more accounts on his plan means more revenue for him. But I’m struggling to see what’s actually in it for me as the buyer, compared to just going with a regular shared or VPS plan from an established host. submitted by /u/GuruPedia [link] [comments]

I have only used shared hosting up until now but after the crap with setrahosting I think I am ready for VPS, but with my lack of experience at it, it’s freaken scary. What affordable (prefer to keep under $200 for the year) VPS is there out there that is also user friendly. My main site has experienced carding/bot attacks in the past so I know it needs some kind of “firewall” to help with that type of issues. I have 3 sites that will be hosted on it, with 2 being wordpress based and the other just being a link tree page. I used to love playing with all the bells and whistles, but I will be honest, that was 20 years ago and now I just want set it and forget it for the background things for the sites. submitted by /u/snow__wolfe [link] [comments]

Hi, I want to host my website on a DMCA ignored host but I know true DMCA ignored is pretty much impossible. So I’m looking for an offshore host that will at least notify you about a DMCA and give you time to remove the content that got the notice instead of just kicking you without batting an eye. Dedicated servers are okay too if that’s what you recommend. Would love an honest and real recommendation with its pros and cons. Tysm for any kind answers. submitted by /u/Kind-Pear-4947 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I recently ordered a small VPS for self-hosting experiments. The initial offer was an IPv6-only VPS (1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM). I later upgraded to an IPv4-enabled plan advertised with: 2 vCPU 2 GB RAM 20 GB SSD storage After reinstalling Ubuntu, I noticed that the server was not usable for my intended setup. A simple apt update was already problematic because the root filesystem was almost full. I checked the actual block device size: root@panel:~# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS sda 8:0 0 3.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 2.5G 0 part / ├─sda14 8:14 0 4M 0 part ├─sda15 8:15 0 106M 0 part /boot/efi └─sda16 259:0 0 913M 0 part /boot The important point is that the whole virtual disk (sda) is only 3.5 GB. It is not a 20 GB disk with an unexpanded partition. I have already checked the usual filesystem resize scenario (growpart, resize2fs), but this does not apply here because the block device itself is too small. The provider support suggested retrying, but after a fresh reinstall the VPS was still delivered with the same 3.5 GB disk. I requested cancellation/refund because the VPS cannot currently be used for the purpose it was purchased for. My question: Does this look like a typical provisioning mistake from the provider side? Would you expect a provider to fix the instance or refund in this situation? Thanks! submitted by /u/Difficult_Hand3046 [link] [comments]
