  • Hostinger- Multiple domains with 1 Hosting
    by /u/Hunny9901 on August 30, 2026 at 3:26 pm

    Hello everyone. Hope you’re all doing well. As the title suggests, I just bought hostinger unlimited plan ( 50GB NVMe storage ) for 2 different domains I completely understand that I can host multiple websites on it without any issue. However, my main concern is emails. I would be sending 10-20 emails per day to approach B2B businesses and I’ve seen many scenarios like blocking or domain reputation issues So my main concern is what if one domain or email gets black listed, will the other domain or its email will also face the same issue? Also, what if I use never bounce or other tools to verify bounce rate, can I still use same hosting for 2 domains Kindly let me know your experience with that submitted by /u/Hunny9901 [link] [comments]

  • Godlike.host misleading advertising/promises.
    by /u/OHBABYATRIPLEUWU on August 30, 2026 at 1:02 pm

    As the title says, I used godlike host in order to get a 16 gb server for 3 months for me and my friends to play a minecraft modpack named prominence 2. Either way, when checking out, i was given the option to get one month [for an AMD EPYC] or three months for an AMD Ryzen 9950 x3D[10 virtual cores] which I was quite extactic about. Now here lies the problem, instead of getting the CPU I was promised, I was given 10 virtual cores from an AMD EPYC 9474F which is drastically worse for minecraft servers especially modded. When questioned about this, I was told that the 9950X3D probably didn’t get chosen because of the location I chose, which is clearly not true considering I was told otherwise after. They even tried to downplay me further by saying, oh here 7950X3D in finland instead, and I had to keep presurring them to tell me where the hell the CPU model I wanted and was promised at was. At the end, they admit that I was in fact hosted in the netherlands, and for some reason I was given the “1 month plan” CPU instead of the “3 month plan” CPU but we all know it was probably intentional. Props to them for processing my refund, however, I will not be using a service I cannot trust/have to dig in to see what I was given to ensure that’s the correct thing I ordered. Not to mention that this is illegal in Europe. The way they are doing it especially. I have now swapped to bloom.host instead due to transparecy issues. submitted by /u/OHBABYATRIPLEUWU [link] [comments]

  • Need VPS for accessing Chinese Internet without being flagged
    by /u/theIndiaDecoder on August 30, 2026 at 12:42 pm

    I’m looking to buy a cheap VPS service to setup a split channeling proxy network on my phone for running chinese apps on it (Wechat, Douyin, etc). I already have a Hongkong esim phone number but I’m thinking it’d be a better idea to also have a dedicated HK IP and server to channel my data to avoid being flagged as an suspicious IP, as well as reduce latency on my raw signal sent via the sim’s mobile network. I plan to use my Indian phone number’s data and my home wifi for the primary data usage and keep the HK number active only for OTP/SMS verification…. and run the split proxy connection using the VPS and v2rayNG. I plan What are some good VPS providers that you can recommend based on my use case? (I think I will need a HK server location to be on the safer side… but anybody who has used Singapore server reliably with a HK number for China access can feel free to share their experience) My budget is capped at max 4$ per month or 40$ annually. (Less than 3$ PM and 30$ annually would be sweet!) Also, would be nice if the VPS provider also has other geographical server locations in Africa, South America, EU, Middle East as well for optionality. I would also like to hear your opinion on lifetime VPS access providers like Voxfor. (So far I’ve come across VMISS, Server.HK and Lightnode as some of the Chatgpt recommended options.) P.s. I’ve also heard that having a vps provider with a CN2 network is preferable, but not all vps providers provide that. Would love to know whether that actually makes a difference in latency, etc or if its just marketing. submitted by /u/theIndiaDecoder [link] [comments]

  • My girlfriend joined my online class store 8 months after I built it and now expects 50% equity. Am I actually the one being unreasonable here?
    by /u/Educational-Map-9565 on August 30, 2026 at 12:07 pm

    Laying out the timeline bc I keep going back and forth on whether I’m wrong here. I got the idea late 2023, grabbed the domain, sat on it for months, then started building March 2024, coded it myself, moved to a Hostinger VPS once the shared plan couldn’t handle checkout traffic during a sale – my first profitable month was July 2024, i got like $1,400. She didn’t even know the site existed till then – together since January, but the store was mine before she was in the picture… she started helping in October, emails and Instagram, bc the money was good and I asked her, in November we hired a part-timer for fulfillment and been the three of us since, revenue’s grown every month, about $9k/mo now. I always shared money with her, more when she was tight, we took a Portugal trip off store money in March, never talked ownership tho – my build, my risk, so it never felt like a convo to have, but two weeks ago she brought up equity like it was a given – not just a raise, 50% ownership. I didn’t know what to say, she works more hours than the employee tbh, but he gets a wage and doesn’t think he owns half the business, she’s paid like 3x him and somehow that became an expectation, not gratitude. Ins if I offer a fixed monthly cut goin forward, equity for future work only, or if this just ends things no matter what I pick, maybe letting her in without a conversation upfront was my mistake — doesn’t change what feels fair now. Anyone built something solo with a partner helping later? How’d you handle it? I feel like the bad guy for saying no. submitted by /u/Educational-Map-9565 [link] [comments]
