Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I have a few small websites I would like to put up. Nothing complicated. Just buisiness catalogs and such or legitimatacy. I have previous experience with setting up VPS for other projects. But is this a case where I should just rely on shared Hosting? I want to host them as cheap as possible. I expect very little traffic, maybe a few hundred hits a month tops. Do you have any recommendations on who to use? submitted by /u/Amos_Archon [link] [comments]

Signed up with a VPS provider last week for a small SaaS backend I’m building solo. Ran fine for about 3 hours, then I got an email saying the account wasLast week I’ve signed up w a VPS orovider for a snall SaaS backend I’m building solo, and it ran fine for like 3 hours, then I got an email saying the account was flagged and I need to upload my passport pic and a selfie to keep it active… that was acc weird, I mean I get verifying accounts after fraud or a hacked login, but that was just a fresh site w nothing but a Node app n Postgres on it. I said no and let it get suspended, I ain’t handing over my ID for 7$ a month box, but it turns out that’s common, a bunch of people on VPS forums got the same random flag w no reason. I ended up moving to Hostinger for now since they only asked me for a card, tho i have no idea if that’ll change once support gets involved on sth bigger, also been looking at DigitalOcean too, and someone mentioned GoDaddy does similar checks on new signups. Pls share if anyone’s actually got a provider that skips this unless there’s a real issue on the account. submitted by /u/Ok-Leadership383 [link] [comments]

I’m setting up my first real online store (small batch candles, nothing fancy) and I keep running into completely different opinions on what “good hosting” even means for around $15-20 a month. I don’t need anything wild, just steady uptime and decent speed for customers in the US who are mostly checking out from their phones at 11pm. I tried Hostinger for a smaller side project last year. It held up fine. But I don’t know if that experience holds once real money is moving through it every day. I’ve seen people swear by DigitalOcean, SiteGround, even Bluehost, and every single one of them says theirs never goes down. At this point I think “best” depends entirely on who got burned by what, so which one has actually held up for you under real customer traffic, not just when you spun up a test box and it worked once submitted by /u/heisenberg19038 [link] [comments]

My dad ran a hosting/site-maintenance business from a spare bedroom for 15 years – just him, a part-timer, and like 40 clients paying flat monthly fees, when he turned 58 and retired, he handed it to me – everyone in my family was thrilled, I wasn’t. It nets abt 3200 dollar a month, but I’m on call like ALL THE TIME – including my birthday, for panicked texts and 3am “the server’s down” calls from clients with zero concept of business hours.Last month a dev shop offered me a junior dev role for like 2400$ a mo – pay cut, but I’d finally be building something instead of babysitting servers, but when I told my dad I’m considering selling or winding it down, he gave me the silent treatment for two days, then asked if everything he built means nothing to me. I’ve looked at moving clients onto sth like Hostinger so they’d call a support line instead of texting me – but that just outsources the problem for a fee, which honestly still sounds good. AITA for wanting out of something that already works, or crazy to spend 20 years running servers for people who only reach out when something’s broken? submitted by /u/Educational-Map-9565 [link] [comments]
