I’m setting up a self-hosted AI agent (Hermes Agent, running in Docker) on a VPS. Its main job is web research: it fetches pages, extracts sources, and compiles reports. So it makes a *lot* of outbound HTTP requests, plus some headless browser work. **Requirements:** 4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM / ~75 GB NVMe, EU location, ~€10/month, no long commitment. I’ve already done the spec comparison — OVH VPS-2, Contabo, Netcup, RackNerd all land in roughly the same range, and Hetzner is now way out of budget after their 2026 price increase. **Specs are not my question.** My actual concern is **outbound IP reputation**. From what I’ve read, OVH and Contabo ranges are heavily flagged, so a lot of sites will serve Cloudflare challenges or 403s to anything running there — which would directly break the one thing this box exists to do. **What I’d like real experience on:** Which budget providers have the *least* blacklisted IP ranges for outbound requests? Is Netcup/Hetzner meaningfully cleaner than OVH/Contabo, or is every datacenter range equally cooked at this point? Anyone running a headless browser (Playwright/Camoufox) on a €10 VPS — does it actually work in practice, or do you hit walls constantly? Is the realistic fix a search API (Brave/Tavily/Serper) instead of direct browsing? Or do people just pay for residential proxies? Does an IP with a bad history improve if you request a new one, or is the whole /24 the problem? Happy to hear “you’re solving the wrong problem” if that’s the case. I’d rather find out now than after I’ve built the whole thing. Thanks. submitted by /u/Academic-Swan-9191 [link] [comments]

I have an issue with one of my domains : spacewarp.fr The site is hosted on my own bare-metal Linux (debian) server at IONOS. Couple months ago, any updates I tried to do were not working. No matter what I uploaded (or deleted even), the website would stay like the old version. Couple of days after, I checked the domain again and the entire website had changed. It now loads a black page with some weird console/interface that definitely isn’t what we’re deploying. What I’ve checked so far: DNS for still resolves to my server’s public IP. I haven’t changed the DNS or nameservers. The server itself is reachable. (I have other domains on it, and they work fine) I contacted IONOS and they don’t see anything abnormal on their side. My other services on the machine appear to work normally. Deploying changes to the site’s files doesn’t seem to affect what is served on the domain. (I can still access via ftp my files on the server, but their modifications changes nothing) So I’m trying to understand where the hell the content I’m seeing is actually coming from. My first thought was that the server/site had been compromised, but if DNS still points directly to my machine, I’m not sure what mechanism would allow someone else’s page to appear there. I’m using nginx btw, could it be an issue from it ? If you have any idea, your help is truly welcomed. Thanks ! submitted by /u/RomainGilliot [link] [comments]

Looking for some more information, I’m looking into creating a few servers what typically is the most played now in 2026 and what major features have changed from owning a server in 2013-2016? The biggest thing was the entire EULA that caused a lot of owners to stop, is there anything now bigger? I have ownership of some big old name servers domains how much traffic do you think by itself it’ll pull into the network? I’ll also be hiring staff and an entire team where do I start with finding the team? Is builtbybit aka mcmarket a big thing? The backstory is I went on from owning servers to a normal career id call myself successful at the age of 27 but I still miss the freedom I had running my own server / businesses. submitted by /u/DiamondIntelligent88 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m moving away from Vimeo and researching different video hosting platforms for an online course. I’ve been looking at Mux, Kinescope, and Skippz and wanted to see if anyone here has actually used them. I’m mainly looking for reliable playback, good video analytics, reasonable pricing, and an easy to embed player. submitted by /u/damesssi [link] [comments]

Dealing with angry client emails all morning because my automated forum trackers just randomly timed out again. The shared hosting company I use apparently just silently throttled my cpu. no warning, just killed the scripts. tbh I knew I was pushing it with the amount of crowd marketing data im parsing daily now, but the whole “unlimited resources” marketing lie from these budget hosts is just so infuriating. They literally suspend you the second you actually use the resources you paid for Guess its finally time to bite the bullet and move to a dedicated rig. Was pricing out some server mania configs just to see what unmetered boxes cost right now, mostly because I just want something deployed instantly so I can get these clients off my back today. But man, the anxiety of jumping from a cozy cpanel directly into an empty debian terminal is real. Anyone else procrastinate migrating just because managing raw infrastructure sounds exhausting? kinda dreading my weekend now. submitted by /u/therey73 [link] [comments]
