Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I’m working with a few nonprofits and I’ve noticed a wide range of hosting costs — some are paying $50/month, others $300+/month. For organizations with limited budgets, what approaches have you seen work well for keeping hosting costs down while still maintaining: decent performance security/WAF backups dev or staging environments reliability during traffic spikes Do most nonprofits just stick with shared hosting? Do any use cloud credits (AWS/Azure/Google)? Curious what others have seen in the wild and what you’d recommend. submitted by /u/devpanel [link] [comments]

I have heard good things about Concourse (now Concourse Cloud) and their SQL hosting service, I am trying to see what other services are in this space that come recommended to compare. submitted by /u/Ozzie_Isaacs_01 [link] [comments]

I recently learned the hard way why I shouldn’t have gone with Hostinger as my provider. I got locked into their proprietary website builder and when the renewal prices spiked I couldn’t export my site. I am now rebuilding from scratch on WordPress and need a permanent home to ensure I don’t make the same mistake again. I am a small business owner, not a system administrator. I expect close to 150+ visits per month to begin with, but uptime is critical because I run a service-based business. I have categorised the providers I found into the following groups from my research. Category 1: Reddit’s Favourites KnownHost Nixihost Krystal Category 2: Niche Spaceship Hosting.com Interserver Zume Stablepoint Category 3: VPS Hetzner OVH Netcup Racknerd My Priorities: Reliability: I want a reputable provider that won’t hit me with hidden fees Affordability: I don’t mind paying extra if it’s worth the money Support: I need a human when things break, not an endless loop with another Kodee No Lock-in: I want to ensure I have at least some level of control and can migrate my site easily if need be. Thanks for helping me fix this mess! ————————————— Edit: I appreciate everyone’s messages and the valuable guidance provided. Following additional research, I selected Stablepoint as the provider. The deciding factors were clear: they demonstrated the best customer support (even during the pre-sales phase), I get full file management control through cPanel. They’re based in the UK and are very reasonably priced, transparent service with no hidden fees solidified them as the most effective solution. submitted by /u/bu_yah [link] [comments]

Hey folks! I need to pick a reliable hosting company today (Cyber Monday deals), and I’d love your recommendations. I’m currently on a reseller account, but I’m not married to that setup if a managed VPS makes more sense. I’m not a server admin at all, so if VPS is the answer it must be fully managed by the host. What I need (non-negotiables): Separate accounts per site/client. I need to keep websites isolated like I do in reseller hosting (separate cPanels/accounts, billing separation a bonus). Fast loading times. Real-world performance matters more than marketing claims. 99.99% uptime (or close to it with a proven track record). Free migration. I have a lot of sites and need the host to move everything for me. Regular price around $20/mo max. I know Cyber Monday pricing is usually first-term only but I’m budgeting based on renewal. Unlimited domains / high domain count. I host 150–200 domains (not all heavy traffic), and need DNS included. ~50GB storage minimum, SSD/cloud preferred. Nice-to-haves: Easy scaling if some sites grow Solid support (I’m not technical but I need humans who actually fix stuff) US/EU data center options Question: Given those requirements, what hosts should I look at today? If you think managed VPS is the better fit over reseller for this many domains + separation needs, tell me which providers do it well (and don’t wreck you on renewal). Appreciate any fast guidance. I need to decide ASAP. submitted by /u/Tall_Lab_5456 [link] [comments]

Who’s the winner? They both have deals right now, and I just need the most reliable option for clients. types of websites – complex portfolios with blogs, maybe e-commerce down the road plan needs ability to grow down the road not expecting heavy traffic… if so, I’ll just upgrade plans and charge the clients more SSL – I already have SSL with Porkbun domains. dashboard – I’ll need some kind of dashboard that clients can access without using all the complicated features (but I thought I could get that via WordPress.org, so do I even need a cpanel for them?) support for technical stuff backups for WordPress I’m looking at Hostinger’s Agency Plan and SiteGround’s GrowBig… so many options submitted by /u/Direct-Piglet-246 [link] [comments]
