Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I started a small business in February and needed a quick website. At the time, Hostinger seemed like the best deal, offering email, a domain, a website builder, and hosting for about £40 for the first year. It was fine for getting started cheaply, but the cracks appeared quickly. The website builder is incredibly restrictive. They slap an “AI” label onto everything, yet the results are consistently subpar, not to mention the extra credits or fees required for basic features. Now that my renewal is approaching, I’m facing a bill of nearly £200, which is absurd given the quality of the service. I want to leave, but I feel stuck. Because I used their proprietary website builder, I’m not sure if I can even migrate my site. I’m hoping for guidance on the following: The Website: Since I built my site within Hostinger, is there any way to export it? Or do I have to bite the bullet and rebuild it from scratch on WordPress (or similar)? Order of Operations: What is the safest workflow to minimise downtime? Should I purchase new hosting first, build the site on a temporary URL, and then transfer the domain? The Host: Who do you recommend for a small business that offers transparent pricing and good support? I don’t mind paying a fair price, but I don’t want to be lured in at £3/month only to be charged £15/month the following year. Domain & Email: My domain and business email are currently with Hostinger. How difficult is it to move these away without losing my email history? Any advice on how to untangle myself from this would be much appreciated. I just want a setup where I actually own my site, have full control, and the billing doesn’t skyrocket after year one. submitted by /u/bu_yah [link] [comments]

Hello all, I have a website that promotes my freelance music production gig. I don’t make huge income out of it and Siteground – while they are stable and good people – I cant’ justify the amount of renewal fee every year I had to pay I know people despise of Bluehost for instability, slow traffic and such – but is it that bad ? My website has really really low traffic – stability isn’t going to be an issue for me as much. Thanks submitted by /u/PackamK [link] [comments]

First of all, let me state something: I love supabase, and really makes my workflow and database managing very straightforward and easy. However, now that I want to deploy a real app with real costumers in Europe, a concern arises: can you get GDPR compliance with supabase? I am very far from knowing this field, and I get some really big discrepancies around this topic. In this same subreddit there are some people that states without any doubt that they do not support this, but meanwhile their official support told me that they do. I’ve read some interesting debates and seems like a gray area sometimes, but why is there such a discrepancy? And if it is really not an option for Europeans with sensible data handling, what other options you guys recommend that are an “affordable” migration from supabase? submitted by /u/AdditionalHall3009 [link] [comments]

Hey all! I’m very new to all of this, and looking to find my way through and make the best choices for my website. I am creating a sound healing and coaching site, which will include courses and a section to sell artwork, macrame decor etc. I want to do this inexpensively, and also set it up the right way. Three days ago I bought a domain with wordpress.com. I started watching videos that were promoting hosting and explaining that wordpress.com is a bit of a rip off. I can return and get my money back, and go a different route. Here’s where I’m getting lost. I want to be able to have a nice looking site that has the ability for e-commerce using woo commerce likely, and ability to book appts. I want something that looks good, is easy to use, and is user-friendly. I have autism/adhd and while my husband can definitely help me I want to do this myself. Can you offer me any pointers? submitted by /u/Feisty_Tutor_4104 [link] [comments]

I’ve been researching hosting options for Black Friday and I’m stuck between Hostinger, Bluehost and SiteGround. Here’s what I’ve understood so far: Hostinger: • Cheapest pricing this year • LiteSpeed servers = fast • Very beginner-friendly Bluehost: • Most stable WordPress setup • Good support • Good for long-term blogs SiteGround: • Fastest overall • Runs on Google Cloud • Best for scaling websites If anyone has real user experience with these hosts, please share. submitted by /u/Nervous_Branch7077 [link] [comments]
