Latest Hosting News on Reddit

Hello everyone, First of all, I wanted to say that I am very new to this and I may get a lot of terms wrong, so sorry about that. (Also sorry if this isn’t the right sub to ask this.) I currently use OneDrive to store my data. I mainly use it to have a backup on the drive and to sync it between computers. I am a very simple user, as I only have about 60GB of storage there. I want to leave big tech companies and have my data more private and secure and I heard that hosting your cloud is an option. I looked into nextcloud and I should need to use a public cloud provider to use it. I looked into Hostinger and Linode and they seem to be about 10$/mth for 100GB, and that seems like a lot. I also looked into Hetzner and they offer a cloud service, a storage store and storage share for nextcloud that are way cheaper, but I don’t understand what are the differences between this services. Also, I wanted to ask if for a regular user like me it’s worth doing this instead of going for a secure drive service like Proton Drive. I know it’s harder to setup, but I am wiling to learn, my biggest problem seems to be the price. Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/DiogoP0 [link] [comments]

I want to share my experience with ThePowerHost.in because it has honestly been a nightmare, especially for beginners who purchase hosting in a hurry without carefully reading every policy. I bought a web hosting plan directly through their PhonePe payment gateway. The payment was successful, but after that they never provided access to my hosting account. Instead, they kept redirecting me to a KYC verification page. The strange part is that according to their own KYC policy, web hosting services are not even listed as requiring KYC. So the entire situation feels very suspicious. I contacted their ticket support, and for almost a full day they just kept repeating the same things: “Provide contact details” “Check KYC page” “Complete KYC” and so on. I understand if they have a strict KYC requirement, but if they refuse to activate the service without it, then why not simply cancel the order and refund the payment? The hosting account was never activated, and according to their refund policy, the payment should still qualify for a refund. The main reason I don’t want to complete KYC is because I’m not comfortable sharing personal documents and sensitive information on a website that already feels unreliable to me. At this point, I just want my refund, but they keep delaying everything instead of resolving the issue properly. submitted by /u/sabirans04 [link] [comments]

I spent important time looking up managed openclaw hosting options because self-hosting maintenance was eating too much time. Here’s my honest comparison of what’s actually available and working right now: myclaw.ai – $29/month base plan, decent uptime but limited customization options. their UI is clean but you can’t modify the underlying openclaw configuration much. good for basic use cases, frustrating if you want to experiment with different models or skills. runmyclaw – $35/month, better technical flexibility and they actually let you SSH into the container for debugging. uptime has been solid in my testing. main issue is their support team doesn’t seem to understand openclaw very well, so you’re mostly on your own for configuration problems. clawdi – easiest one to deploy, premium pricing but the security architecture is genuinely different with TEE isolation. setup process is the smoothest I’ve tested and their team clearly knows the openclaw ecosystem well. worth the extra cost if you’re putting sensitive data through the agent. clickclaw – $25/month, cheapest option but you get what you pay for. had multiple outages during my testing period and their backup/restore process is manual. fine for experimentation but I wouldn’t use it for anything business critical. xclaw – $40/month, positioned as enterprise-focused but still feels like a solo developer project. good technical capabilities when it works, but inconsistent performance and their discord support is hit or miss. overall, the managed hosting space is still pretty immature. if you need reliability, you’re probably better with clawdi or continuing to self-host with proper monitoring. submitted by /u/mahearty [link] [comments]

I’ve been wanting to make a website to move my blogging onto. I saw on the internet that WordPress was good. I didn’t realize there was 2 different ones(.com vs.org) and bought a subscription to the .com. Is there any point in keeping it or should I refund it before I start learning how to work it. I have no website making experience, if that is any help. Thank you very much! submitted by /u/Gingergirlz [link] [comments]
