Latest Hosting News on Reddit

I just came across this subreddit regarding hosting and I’m very new to this field, and i wanted some help. I’m working on a real-estate platform somewhat similar to 99acres / Housing.com. It will have a public website along with buyer and seller accounts, an admin panel, property listings/uploads, property images/documents, search/filtering, maps and WhatsApp integration. The planned stack is React.js / Next.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL. I’m currently looking at the MilesWeb Cloud Startup plan. It offers 5 GB RAM, 5 CPU cores, 150 GB NVMe storage, SSH + Git access, Node.js web apps (as advertised), unlimited databases, cron jobs, backups, etc. However, the technical details seem to focus quite a lot on PHP/MySQL, and I couldn’t find clear information about PostgreSQL and the exact Node.js/Next.js setup. Their customer support also hasn’t been very responsive, so I’m not sure whether this plan is actually suitable for my use case. I mainly want to know: Is this plan actually capable of hosting a Next.js + Node.js + PostgreSQL application? Is 5 GB RAM / 5 CPU cores sufficient for an initial launch with relatively low traffic? Is PostgreSQL properly supported, or would I need a separate database service? Would you recommend this type of cloud hosting for a project like this, or should I start with a VPS / managed cloud setup instead? Are there any important limitations I should be aware of before purchasing? I’m new to deployment/hosting, so I’m mainly looking for practical advice on what would be a sensible option without unnecessarily overpaying. Also let me know if there are better alternatives for this. Thanks! submitted by /u/DeerghP [link] [comments]

So… looking at grabbing a couple domains for a small project and im kinda stuck on where to buy rn. I used to just grab everything through the same big registrar because it was easy, but prices and random add ons keep creeping up every year. Privacy, dns stuff, email, all split out like lego pieces and it adds up fast. Hetzner and a few others bumped .com prices again and now I feel dumb for not paying attention to this earlier. For folks who buy domains fairly often, do you go straight to the big registrars, use your hosting company, or some cheaper niche registrar for just the domain and handle dns etc elsewhere? I’m mostly worried about long term renewal costs and annoying transfer lock in more than the first year promo. Would love any tips from people who care about keeping things simple but not overpaying, thx. submitted by /u/Perfect-Hunt-4259 [link] [comments]

They make you talk to the Ai, there is zero way to talk to a human anymore. You can get it “reviewed by a human” but the response comes back as an Ai response. You aren’t really talking to a human. Never will I pay for 4 years of service at any company, up front. I’m thankful I have Oracle’s free tier server that I can utilize while they are offering it. Reviews on that are 10/10. Never had any issue with it. Just wasted my money on this damn shared hosting. Just as an FYI, this came up cause for (zero) reason on my side my portfolio site (tiny PHP site) went down 3.5 hours ago right as I was going to the movies. Didn’t find out until the movie finished. (Coyote vs ACME is great, btw!) and I had to talk to an Ai, When I basically screamed at it for a human it said a human was reviewing it. They barely did though. Took me 45 min to get the answer that my IP was part of a DDOS attack and my site will be down until that is resolved. -.- Regerts. Edit/Update: Talk to them and finally got to talk to a human and he is trying to extort MORE MONEY out of me for something that isn’t even my fault. The audacity. Thanks for your patience! I see your hosting IP address is currently being targeted by a DDoS attack, which floods the server with fake requests, making it hard for legitimate visitors to reach your site. However, your files and databases are not affected. To protect your site, we’ve null-routed the IP address, and we’re actively monitoring the situation. Once it’s safe, we’ll bring your site back online immediately. To reduce the risk of future attacks and improve your site’s performance, we offer Cloud hosting plans with dedicated resources like IPs, processing power, storage, and memory. Thanks for your understanding! If you have any questions or need help, just let me know! 🙏 submitted by /u/AngelicPrincessKitty [link] [comments]

I have a few questions: – So people should be able to access my media across instances, right? What will the traffic look like if I’m hosting like 3TB of FLACs? – Will I get copyright striken to death? I mean if they know my IP and I’m hosting music that isn’t in the public domain. submitted by /u/UncurledWire [link] [comments]
