Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I had my agent (Muse) set up an app on Cloady’s free tier, mostly to see how far “free” gets you these days. On paper it looks generous: no card, 0.5 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 5 GB SSD. In practice two things got in the way. The traffic allowance is small (their docs list 10 GB a month on the free tier), and the app was really slow. The free tier runs on shared compute, so I suspect that’s part of it, but I didn’t benchmark anything. A plain VPS for about $5 a month has been far more useful to me. A lot of free perks look great on the pricing page and turn out to be less practical once something real runs on them. For people who’ve tried a bunch of these: is there any free tier you’d actually keep something running on, or do you always end up on a cheap VPS? submitted by /u/moutsea [link] [comments]

Ik zoek een betaalbaar Europese hoster. Omdat ik volledig ga afstappen van Gmail ga ik mijn e-mails voortaan via mijn eigen domeinnaam laten verlopen. Ik zoek echter een betaalbare webhoster in Europa. Liefst ook een hoster die een eigen webmail interface heeft en geen gebruik maakt van RoundCube of SquirrelMail. Hebben jullie suggesties? submitted by /u/CtrlAltCed [link] [comments]

If a plan says “first term” or has an asterisk next to the number, I dig out the renewal price and that’s the only one that goes in my sheet. That’s the rule for wherever my 4 WordPress sites go next. The sites are tiny, three portfolios and a church site, maybe 2k visits a month combined. I’m fine running them on a 2GB VPS with a free panel. Email already lives somewhere else so the box doesn’t need to do mail. The part I’m not sure about is whether the rule even makes sense for VPS. On shared hosting the trap was obvious once I got the email. From what I’ve seen VPS listings mostly show one flat monthly price, but the cheapest ones tend to be promo plans. I can’t tell if that price holds after year two, or if the real risk is the plan getting retired and you get nudged onto a pricier one. I’ve been pulling candidates from VPSIUM’s listings and from provider sites directly, then checking each one on the provider’s own pricing page, which still tells me nothing about year three. So right now I’m only considering plans that are on the regular price list, monthly or yearly, and skipping anything that only shows up in a deal thread. Is that overkill for VPS? If you’ve kept the same VPS for 3+ years, did what you pay ever move, and was it a renewal bump or a forced plan migration? submitted by /u/Manueliia [link] [comments]
