Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I keep seeing posts about n8n hosting, but I don’t understand what n8n actually does. Is it a website builder? An app? Why does it need its own hosting? Can someone break this down simply? submitted by /u/OkCry7871 [link] [comments]

been lurking for a while and figured i’d finally ask. i’m setting up a small side project and needed to grab a new domain, nothing fancy just a basic .com. i’ve used godaddy years ago and don’t remember it being this confusing or expensive once you get to checkout. i keep seeing people mention that there are ways to lower the first year cost, but every time i try something i found through search it either doesn’t apply or changes once i log in. makes me wonder if those things even still work in 2026 or if i’m just late to the party. for anyone who’s registered a domain recently, did you just pay the listed price or is there something obvious i’m overlooking? does creating a new account vs using an old one change anything? also curious if renewal pricing is really as painful as people say or if that’s overblown. not trying to game the system, just don’t want to overpay out of ignorance. how do you usually approach domain purchases now and is godaddy still worth using compared to others? submitted by /u/Daniel_Dylan904 [link] [comments]

Hey all! Recently I’ve been working on a auto-scaler for my Hetzner deployments writting in Go and React. I’ve came around project like hetzner-k3s where I really like the auto-scale aspect, but I don’t want to use k8s for my side project. As my side project has been growing, so did the need for scaling, which is why I built this little auto-scaler + load balancer for my project. It works pretty straight forward, you enter: CPU and RAM thresholds Desired min and max instances Git repo info and credentials Deployment instructions Load balancing strategy (round-robin, etc.) Health and readiness endpoints (you must of course implement these yourself) I also built in some other cool features, like using the public IP initially for the readiness checks and then using the Hetzner API to remove the public IP and use the private IP for further health checks if you desire so (it creates a private network via the Hetzner API for doing private IP comms). You boot up the program and it will start doing its thing. Scale up new server instances with the desired Hetzner resource type as load increases, scale down as load decreases. I was thinking of open-sourcing this and building it as a docker image if people are interested. Ofcourse this takes some work and time, like making some features more configurable. But I don’t mind if there is interest. Let me know your thoughts on it! https://preview.redd.it/lvc8wbisbcbg1.jpg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c10c6d015f67504936860945cf16f66cd0c60df1 submitted by /u/West-Astronaut-6134 [link] [comments]

i am thinking about moving a few of my automation tools and some scraping scripts over to virtarix because they have a great cost to spec ratio however i have seen mixed reviews lately about how they handle account suspensions one person on a forum claimed they shut him down immediately over an old abuse report for those of you who have been with them for a few months what is your experience i am not doing anything illegal but sometimes scraping or certain scripts can trigger automated flags i would much rather stay with a provider like contabo if they give you time to explain yourself but their performance has been too sluggish lately does virtarix actually talk to you before pulling the plug or are they super strict i just want to make sure i am not walking into a zero tolerance situation for simple false positives looking for real user experiences not speculation submitted by /u/Proper-Reason-8381 [link] [comments]
