Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I’m working with a few nonprofits and I’ve noticed a wide range of hosting costs — some are paying $50/month, others $300+/month. For organizations with limited budgets, what approaches have you seen work well for keeping hosting costs down while still maintaining: decent performance security/WAF backups dev or staging environments reliability during traffic spikes Do most nonprofits just stick with shared hosting? Do any use cloud credits (AWS/Azure/Google)? Curious what others have seen in the wild and what you’d recommend. submitted by /u/devpanel [link] [comments]

I have heard good things about Concourse (now Concourse Cloud) and their SQL hosting service, I am trying to see what other services are in this space that come recommended to compare. submitted by /u/Ozzie_Isaacs_01 [link] [comments]

I recently learned the hard way why I shouldn’t have gone with Hostinger as my provider. I got locked into their proprietary website builder and when the renewal prices spiked I couldn’t export my site. I am now rebuilding from scratch on WordPress and need a permanent home to ensure I don’t make the same mistake again. I am a small business owner, not a system administrator. I expect close to 150+ visits per month to begin with, but uptime is critical because I run a service-based business. I have categorised the providers I found into the following groups from my research. Category 1: Favourites KnownHost Nixihost Krystal Category 2: Niche Spaceship Hosting.com Interserver Zume Stablepoint Category 4: VPS Hetzner OVH Netcup Racknerd My Priorities: Reliability: I want a reputable provider that won’t hit me with hidden fees Affordability: I don’t mind paying extra if it’s worth the money Support: I need a human when things break, not an endless loop with another Kodee No Lock-in: I want to ensure I have at least some level of control and can migrate my site easily if need be. Thanks for helping me fix this mess! submitted by /u/bu_yah [link] [comments]

Hey folks! I need to pick a reliable hosting company today (Cyber Monday deals), and I’d love your recommendations. I’m currently on a reseller account, but I’m not married to that setup if a managed VPS makes more sense. I’m not a server admin at all, so if VPS is the answer it must be fully managed by the host. What I need (non-negotiables): Separate accounts per site/client. I need to keep websites isolated like I do in reseller hosting (separate cPanels/accounts, billing separation a bonus). Fast loading times. Real-world performance matters more than marketing claims. 99.99% uptime (or close to it with a proven track record). Free migration. I have a lot of sites and need the host to move everything for me. Regular price around $20/mo max. I know Cyber Monday pricing is usually first-term only but I’m budgeting based on renewal. Unlimited domains / high domain count. I host 150–200 domains (not all heavy traffic), and need DNS included. ~50GB storage minimum, SSD/cloud preferred. Nice-to-haves: Easy scaling if some sites grow Solid support (I’m not technical but I need humans who actually fix stuff) US/EU data center options Question: Given those requirements, what hosts should I look at today? If you think managed VPS is the better fit over reseller for this many domains + separation needs, tell me which providers do it well (and don’t wreck you on renewal). Appreciate any fast guidance. I need to decide ASAP. submitted by /u/Tall_Lab_5456 [link] [comments]

Who’s the winner? They both have deals right now, and I just need the most reliable option for clients. types of websites – complex portfolios with blogs, maybe e-commerce down the road plan needs ability to grow down the road not expecting heavy traffic… if so, I’ll just upgrade plans and charge the clients more SSL – I already have SSL with Porkbun domains. dashboard – I’ll need some kind of dashboard that clients can access without using all the complicated features (but I thought I could get that via WordPress.org, so do I even need a cpanel for them?) support for technical stuff backups for WordPress I’m looking at Hostinger’s Agency Plan and SiteGround’s GrowBig… so many options submitted by /u/Direct-Piglet-246 [link] [comments]
