Latest Hosting News on Reddit

Hey everyone 👋 I’m working with a team that’s been expanding VPS infrastructure in Dubai, UAE, and it’s made me curious about how people here think about hosting in the GCC region. From what I’ve seen, the main focus tends to be: Low-latency access for users in the Middle East Reliability for high-traffic or business-critical applications Solid protection against attacks and unexpected downtime Rather than promoting anything, I’d really like to hear from the community: What do you usually look for in a VPS provider? Have you faced any specific challenges when hosting in the GCC or nearby regions? Are there features or support options you feel are often missing? Do you prefer regional data centers, or do you usually host elsewhere? Happy to discuss purely from a technical and practical perspective and learn from your experiences. Thanks! submitted by /u/Full_Budget_427 [link] [comments]

Currently paying 22USD/month for 6 vCPU (AMD EPYC 7R13), 24GB RAM, 100GB storage in New York. I’m running Ubuntu with Pelican Panel where I have a couple game servers setup (ARK, Enshrouded, Minecraft etc), but I notice CPU performance struggling with these. I am only ever running 1 game server at a time and I just switch between whichever my friends want to all play at the time. The issue I’m running into when searching for a new server is comparing CPUs. Mine is a 48-core processor but I only have 6 virtual cores allocated. Every benchmark shows the full 48-core score which tells me nothing about my actual single-thread performance. ARK’s dino AI keeps rubber banding and when monitoring the server it’s spiking one core to 98-100% while the rest sit at ~20%, the core that spikes keeps changing but it’s always only 1 core that spikes. This to me come across more like a single-threaded bottleneck where more virtual cores won’t help. So I need to find a server with better single-core performance. Looking for recommendations around 35USD/month max with 32GB RAM and decent single-thread speeds. Needs to be North America East (Quebec/NewYork) for latency. So many servers in this price range appear to be the old Intel Xeons which have the same issue. Granted I understand I may be out of luck, the server I have now is already a pretty good deal, so if I do need to go above 35 USD I’ll consider it, if it’s for a worthwhile performance increase. Anyone hosting games on cloud dedicated servers that actually handle single-threaded workloads well? edit: I found 40Gbps, 5GHz VPS Hosting – 0Ping.eu SRL which would’ve been a good fit price/performance but they’re hosting in Germany. submitted by /u/Void-kun [link] [comments]

When choosing hosting, most people focused on price and speed. But after using different setups,I feel some things only matters once something goes wrong. For you what hosting feature turned out to be more important than you initially thought? Backups, 24*7 support quality, uptime, security or something else? Curious to real experiences. submitted by /u/HotAuthor6438 [link] [comments]

CDN (Content Delivery Network) helps a website or app load content faster by using servers in many locations. It sends data from the nearest server instead of one main server. Real-life example (Netflix) When you watch a movie on Netflix, the video does not come from one single server. Netflix uses CDN, so the movie loads from a server near your city, which means less buffering and smooth streaming. submitted by /u/Shubh137 [link] [comments]

Hey guys, I want to ask something. I have an API built using Golang, and I want to host it so my friend can test it. He’s a pen tester, and I want to give him access to the API endpoint rather than sharing my API folders and source files right away. The problem is, I’m not sure where to host it for free, just for testing purposes. This is mainly for security testing, not production. Do you have any recommendations for free platforms or setups to host a Go API temporarily for testing? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/CogniLord [link] [comments]
