Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I was curious where all this spam actually comes from, so I pulled from Abuse.ch, Spamhaus, and my own spam folder. 5,000 emails total. Not a scientific study, but the pattern was hard to ignore. Cloudflare showed up in 34% of them. Not because they send email — they do not. But spammers hide their real hosting behind Cloudflare’s proxy. You click the link, you hit Cloudflare, and the real host stays invisible. Makes abuse reporting almost impossible. DigitalOcean was next at 22%. Mostly fake invoices and phishing. Cheap droplets, easy to spin up, slow to shut down. OVH at 15%. Crypto scams, fake exchanges. A lot of people online say they ignore abuse reports. My data seemed to match that. The other 29% came from a long tail of providers — Hetzner, AWS, Vultr, Namecheap, Linode, and many smaller ones. So 71% of the spam I looked at came from just 3 providers. If they actually enforced their own rules, spam volume would drop overnight. Curious if anyone else has noticed similar patterns? Which providers show up most in your spam folder? Context: I am building a tool that automates abuse reports. This data is from my own research, not from the tool. Sharing because the pattern surprised me, and because I want to see if anyone else has other thoughts/input on this matter, not to sell or promote anything. submitted by /u/BrandonWindson [link] [comments]

A little background on myself: I’ve been in the bare metal space for some time. I’ve always know the gaming industry uses bare metal when performance matters most, but I’m just now starting to learn that side of the business. What I’m curious about is how end users prefer to interact with these providers. What I mean is, there are many hosting providers that have their own panels. For example, Shockbyte, Hostinger, etc. It SEEMS like these are all VPS providers that typically have their own custom panels where you can buy / rent these servers (for cheap, I might add). I have known bare metal providers to use WHMCS (not custom, c-Panel style) and be successful, and similarly I see open source projects like Pterodactyl be used in the gaming industry. So my question is, do any of y’all have experience using Pterodactyl as an end user, or do you typically stay with the providers that have their own custom panels? submitted by /u/DryWay339 [link] [comments]
