i finally had it with bluehost. i have been with them for like 2 years and everytime i log into my dashboard its just upsell after upsell. tried to cancel one of their addons that i never signed up for and support gave me the runaround for an hour. then i am looking at dreamhost since theyre not eig/newfold. from what i read they are still independent which is rare these days but i have seen some mixed stuff online like some people say their shared hosting is solid for wordpress others say support takes forever. im just running a small blog right now maybe add a little woocommerce store later. nothing crazy traffic wise. what is your actual experience with them? submitted by /u/Charmonix_Albanito55 [link] [comments]

Hello, When we buy a $5 hosting plan, they give us a graphical control panel like Cpanel which is easy like Cake. Now that I’ve bought a $100 server, should I manage the server without a graphical control panel through a black terminal screen, ssh client? Really? Are we living in the 90s where we have to do our work by typing DOS commands on a black screen? It’s 2026 where we should have some beautiful graphical control panel, to manage our vps or vds, not typing in the black screen terminal. My question is there any convenient graphical control panel for server management that is very similar to cPanel? (I’ve heard about vnc’s, but i need something user defined simple, easy as cake) Thanks. submitted by /u/NemesisCollins [link] [comments]

I built a dealer management system for a tea reseller (basically a billing/accounting app). The tech stack is: Frontend: Next.js 15 (App Router) Backend: Hono framework running on Bun Database: PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM Auth: Better Auth (session-based, role-based access) About the business: ~400 customers (tea leaf suppliers) 5-10 staff users max Daily data entry (tea collection weights), monthly billing with deductions Database will be tiny — maybe 15 MB/year of pure text data They want it to feel like a desktop app but with data stored safely in the cloud Budget is very tight — ideally free or under $5/month What I’ve considered: Free tier stack (Vercel + Render + Neon) — $0 but Render free tier sleeps after 15 min, cold starts are annoying VPS (Hetzner/DigitalOcean ~$5/mo) — Hostinger Node.js hosting — doesn’t support Bun or PostgreSQL PWA for the “desktop app” feel — seems like the right call My questions: For developers who build apps for small businesses in developing countries — what’s your go-to deployment strategy? Is the free tier stack (Vercel + Render + Neon) reliable enough for production? Would you switch from Bun to Node.js just to have more hosting options? The Bun lock-in is becoming a pain. Is there a better approach I’m not seeing? Something between “run it on a local PC” and “pay for a VPS”? How do you handle backups for clients who can’t manage their own infrastructure? Any advice appreciated. This is my first time deploying a production app for a real business and I want to get it right — it handles their financial data. submitted by /u/New_Statement7492 [link] [comments]
