I have been using Namecheap since about 2008. Over the years I consolidated dozens of clients to them. But since their acquisition by private equity last year, service has been dropping, prices are going up, customer service is getting worse, and their AI fraud tools are going wild locking long standing accounts that never had issues before. submitted by /u/hamellr [link] [comments]

I’m looking for a PostgreSQL database host like Neon, but Neon has the drawback of shutting down, so it has to be restarted afterward, which isn’t ideal. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. submitted by /u/Prize-00 [link] [comments]

I’ve got a couple VPSs with these folks, who had acquired prgmr.com (my old host) some years back. I was getting email on one of mine this morning, but neither of mine are connecting today, nor does the corporate web site. Anyone else? submitted by /u/tlavoie [link] [comments]

Looking for a sanity check from people who run reseller hosting. Setup: ~80 cPanel accounts on an InMotion shared reseller plan, mostly small WordPress brochure sites for local contractors. Been with them 10+ years. Same stacks running fine for 5-7 years, nothing changed on my end. A couple months ago all my sites started throwing intermittent 500s and database connection errors. Their advanced support diagnosed it: MySQL max_user_connections being exceeded (error 1203). They told me the limit can’t be raised on shared servers. I’ve already been down the optimization road – paid a developer to review and optimize the sites, and his conclusion after going through a bunch of them was the sites are fine, the environment is the problem. Months of troubleshooting on my dime. This week I finally got the full picture out of their support in chat, in writing: – My plan is a discontinued legacy plan running on older SSD hardware (their site sells “20X faster NVMe” to new customers) – The connection limit is 25 on ALL their shared servers, including the new NVMe ones – Upgrading to their top reseller plan (R-4000N) costs $932 for 2 years vs my current $695 renewal… and their own agent admitted it “may not resolve the issue” since the limit is identical – The R-4000N renews at $2,639/2yr after the intro term. $110/mo for shared hosting with a 25 connection cap. – No discount, no price match, nothing for tenure So their only actual fix is a VPS upsell (plus cPanel licensing on 80 accounts, lol). Plan now is to migrate everything out. KnownHost quoted me 100 MySQL connections per user on their reseller plans with published renewal rates, also looking at NameHero and Krystal. Questions: Is 25 max_user_connections as low as it sounds for shared reseller in 2026? What are other hosts actually giving? Anyone done an 80-account cPanel-to-cPanel migration – how painful was it really? KnownHost vs NameHero vs Krystal for this use case – real experiences? Anyone else watch InMotion decline like this or is my server just cursed? Not trying to trash them, decade of mostly fine service, but this feels like managed decline + teaser pricing and I want to know if I’m reading it right before I move 80 client sites. submitted by /u/jr_fury [link] [comments]
