I’m building a WordPress plugin that turns a WP install into a SaaS/WaaS platform. On a VPS it’s straightforward, but for non-technical users the setup can still be a barrier, so I’m looking for some hosting option to use for demos and setup tutorials. Budget is around $5/month. Wildcards and parked domains are hard requirements since tenants get their own subdomains or custom domains. So far Hostinger and IONOS don’t support wildcard subdomains on shared plans. Anyone know of hosts that do at this price range? Thanks submitted by /u/taicv [link] [comments]

I’ve been thinking about getting my first VPS to mess around with some small projects and learn a bit more about servers The more I read, though, the more confused I get. Some people say performance is the most important thing, others say uptime, support, location, or just going with the cheapest option. Since I’m still learning and not hosting anything serious, I’m curious what you all would prioritize. Looking back, what do you wish you had paid more attention to when you got your first VPS? submitted by /u/PapayaFar6659 [link] [comments]

Who’s used Bunny.net? Is it a good alternative to Cloudflare? I’ve used Pangolin for a vpn tunnel, But… using Vultr for “cloud access” is what I’m thinking of. BUT…. Has anyone used Bunny to save vs Cloudflare? submitted by /u/OkLab5620 [link] [comments]

I’m looking for an affordable EU‑based hosting provider for a small project. I’ll be running WordPress and phpBB, but the site will have very low traffic (maybe a couple hundred users at most; niche topic). I’m open to shared hosting or a VPS… Honestly, whichever gives the best value. My main requirement is high storage capacity, due to uploaded images and documents. If you have recommendations for storage‑heavy, low‑traffic hosting in the EU (shared or VPS), I’d appreciate your suggestions! PS: yeah, I know I’m asking a 2005 question in 2025… niche topic. submitted by /u/clioopen [link] [comments]

I’ve been running a few client sites on HostGator shared hosting for about three years. it was fine at first. then i had more than 4-5 wordpress sites on the same plan and everything started crawling. kept tripping their cpu limit and they’d throttle the account, sometimes serving a stale cached copy of the site. page load times went from 2 seconds to 8-10 on busy days. support kept telling me to “optimize my plugins” which yeah sure but the underlying issue was clearly resource limits on shared hosting Finally pulled the trigger on a VPS back in november. no idea why i waited. looked at a bunch of options, digitalocean, hetzner, vultr, ishosting. ended up going with ishosting mostly because they had a US node close to where most of my clients’ customers are. picked their NY location among Tampa, Chicago, Dallas and LA in the US. $21.24/mo on annual for Medium plan, 3 cores, 4 gigs of ram, 40 gig nvme. the flat bandwidth, no surprise overage the migration was honestly the hardest part. took all weekend. moving everything over, setting up nginx, getting SSL sorted, configuring wordpress on the new stack. if youre used to cpanel this is a real learning curve. nobody talks about how much time the initial setup takes when they recommend “just get a VPS” would not recommend doing this on a friday night. seven months in though, page loads are consistently under 1.5 seconds across all sites. haven’t had a single downtime incident that I noticed. control panel is bare bones. does the job. my one real complaint is the docs are pretty thin if youre new to server stuff, I had to figure out a lot of config from random digitalocean tutorials instead, which works but isnt ideal afterall the move made sense the second the client sites started pulling real traffic. spent way too long second-guessing which was the best VPS provider for my case. for US-east stuff the node location ended up mattering way more than the brand for me. anyone pick based on something other than location? submitted by /u/Jaevir [link] [comments]
