Latest Hosting News on Reddit

So, I have a provider where I keep my domain names registered and sometimes I need a host for a website or so. Until now, that was never a problem, because I would just copy the DNS settings etc. to my domain provider and it all works (well, maybe after some tweaking ;-)). Recently, I discovered that more and more hosting companies do not give their DNS settings if you don’t host the domain name with them as well. So, now I’m shopping around for hosts that still do provide that service. Thing is that most specs on their websites do not mention anything about that. So now I’d like to narrow my search by using the right term for this spec I want. I found the term “Bring Your Own Domain” or BYOD (very unpractical, since it is mostly used for Bring Your Own Device). So, my question is: is Bring Your Own Domain the right term to use? Do hosting companies understand this when I ask for those specs? Or should I use another term? submitted by /u/Stompverband [link] [comments]

– the sites will all be WordPress – I’d like to avoid shared hosting – Am currently using WPEngine for a couple of sites and really like their staging/dev sites capability and would like something similar baked in (I know you can achieve something similar using plugins etc but it’s a bit more effort and not as nice as having it built in in my opinion) – daily backups is a must – emails is a big plus (that’s the only issue I currently have with WPEngine – they don’t offer emails – budget is around $100 a month initially, and can change as we add more websites (we have about 5-10 at the moment. I say 5-10 because some are in development and will roll out in the near to medium future) – as already mentioned I really like WPEngine, so if anyone has recommendations for an affordable email solution for multiple domains I might consider using WPEngine and going that route. I’m currently considering Zoho mail and MXRoute, so if you have any insights on those 2 providers or better suggestions they would be most welcome Thanks in advance… submitted by /u/Acceptable_Glass_285 [link] [comments]

Hello I’m looking for a web hosting provider, preferably somewhere in Asia. Must be paid in crypto only and I need it to have top tier security. submitted by /u/AdExpensive271 [link] [comments]

I am currently on LiquidWeb shared VPS at about $100/mo., I think. I run two sites, but one is just a 301 redirect to the other. Two databases, about 20 GB of files. The most complicated thing I run on the site is an installation of Invision Power Board, along with some of my own PHP scripts. I’ve had good experiences with them in the past, especially compared to the previous hosting company, but their support has become very slow for routine upgrades and other simple tasks. I am considering switching to a new webhost that is a good fit for a small business, something that will provide excellent support for normal tasks, reasonably fast page loading speeds, and a reliable backups system. I don’t have any strong affinity for CPanel. I asked if I could get rid of it, but was informed my price would actually go up if I did. What do you suggest? I don’t want to cheapest junk host, but my needs are not that of a large company. submitted by /u/MichaelKlint [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’m setting up a business email to link with Calendly. Nothing too fancy, I just need it to send/receive messages reliably and look professional. I was going to use Zoho’s free plan, but after reading reviews, it seems like everyone is calling them a dumpster fire… Is it really that bad in this case if it’s just for connecting with tools like Calendly? Also open to better free/cheap alternatives if you’ve got suggestions. Thanks! submitted by /u/thetowerandthedevil [link] [comments]
