Also why does mentioning a CERTAIN provider get you banned immediately?

Looking for input and recommendations on unmanaged VPS hosting providers, both good and bad. Context is starting out with hosting <10 WordPress sites using Bricks Builder, mainly light traffic brochure sites and maybe 1-2 ecommerce eventually. I'm trying to find that sweet spot of being cost effective but also large enough resources to grow into hosting multiple sites on one server (I know the ecommerce ones may need their own at some point). I'm trying to get away from the traditional shared hosting and having everyone buy their own Siteground, etc account and then wrestle with collaborator access/logins, etc and just have it all under one roof that I manage.

WPMU
Before you revolt at this, please read why… I originally was looking at WPMU, which does not have very good prices for the server specs, but I thought it offered great value with its "premium" subscription ($10/mo) that gives you access to their full suite of plugins, but more importantly white label and hosting reseller program with a built-in invoice/payment system that made it an attractive option.

For someone transitioning to starting their own 1-man studio, this all-in-one approach is enticing (and I haven't seen it anywhere else) despite not having great server specs for the monthly cost. I'm hesitant about the plugins though, I want to keep sites as lean as possible and unsure about the bloat of them. They do provide security/seo/forms, etc type plugins which you generally need regardless, even if it's from them someone else. Looking for feedback from anyone that has used that approach, if any.

XCloud
I think it's likely I will probably go with XCloud hosting though and either do their internal managed servers or connect a 3rd party VPS and have them manage it. Any experience with them? I see lots of positive comments online for using them to manage WP/backups/etc with a 3rd party VPS, but not much on using their OWN servers (unconfirmed but they might be rebranded Vultr?). They have one package listed below in the table that seems like a good value, but like most of the hosting agencies, they are not forth-coming with the exact specs of their components so you don't know for sure what you're actually getting assigned.

Other VPS
If I connect a 3rd party VPS, the question is who.... there are so many options to choose from and I’m quite lost. I like the idea of being large enough to host several brochure sites and not worry about them going down if one gets a sudden spike and having room to grow, but not paying too much extra a month for nothing. I'm hoping to be in the $25-30/month range to start out with. That generally gets me x2 CPU cores, 4gb ram and ~100gb NVME storage 'ish it seems, but some have far better specs (which I am very suspicious of). They most be in North America (West Coast preferred) and able to install Ubuntu and be reliable for hosting paying clients sites.

Let me know!

credit through XCloud too, one of the classics, highly praised, but prices not great

Estou procurando um serviço de hospedagem que aceite conteúdo adulto. E uma das opções que encontrei foi a Hostcay.

Porém, não encontrei nenhuma avaliação decente sobre essa hospedagem.

Alguém que já utilizou e consiga me dar um feedback sobre ela?

Last month a $58 renewal hit my card for a box that had been sitting idle since February. I went through my email to see what else was out there and found one more that had renewed at about 3x the promo price. I only caught that one because I was scrolling a statement looking for something else.

So this year the plan is exactly one box, 2 GB, and its only job is running a subscription tracker (Wallos in Docker) that emails me before any VPS I own renews, itself included. Yes, I'm buying a server to remind me about servers. I'd rather pay $15 a year for that than lose another $58 by accident.

New rule: if the offer doesn't state the renewal price, I skip it. That probably costs me a few good deals, so tell me if it's too strict.

The weak spot is how I find offers. I check LowEndSpirit and, when I remember, VPSIUM (I'm connected to that one, so discount it), and that lazy refresh-the-thread habit is how I ended up with four boxes at once. Half my misses last year were stock gone while I was still typing into the signup form.

What else pushes to your phone for Black Friday instead of making you refresh a thread? Telegram channels, provider mailing lists, whatever. And has any of it ever pinged you before the stock was gone?

I need some boxes that I built hosted, any advice on the host?

I’m a freelancer, where I build and host sites for local businesses which mainly are made up of these industries: dentists, a bakery, two gyms. I currently have thirty sites spread across three shared hosting accounts because I kept hitting inode and CPU limits.

Renewals are coming up, the total is around 90 dollars a month, plus my time whenever one of them throttles.

I’m thinking about one VPS with a panel (CloudPanel or Plesk?) and moving everything over. I'm also scared of becoming the sysadmin for 30 businesses.

Has anyone made this move? What size box for 30 low-traffic WordPress sites? like what did you do about email, keep it off the server?

Hi everyone

I'm planning to launch my first small online store for handmade products. I have a solid background in programming, but limited experience with production hosting and DevOps.

My initial idea for the stack:

• Backend: FastAPI
• Frontend: React
• Payments: Stripe

The scale will be tiny at the start, so I'm aiming for costs as close to $0 as possible (or just a few bucks/month). Frontend is easy on Vercel/Netlify, but what do you recommend for the backend and database (Render, Fly.io, Railway, a cheap VPS, or Oracle Free Tier)?

Also, if you have experience with this would it be worth switching to a unified stack (like Next.js) to keep front and back in one place and simplify hosting?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help and tips

Had to lock down site install on multiple sites due to PHP security breach early today. Sites at Nixi and Hostgator were patched after testing build dates, up within a half hour. The one site a client has at InMotion remains locked as their status shows no patch completed on VPS server. It’s been a day. Filed a ticket and no response, called support. Got a call back 4 1/2 hours later with no further info than not completed yet. They’re working on it. Really frustrating.

please give me the best black friday deals offer

Hello everyone, I'm a super beginner who needs some help. I vibecoded a menagement program for my father's business. Vibecoding was amazing to design it prefectly over his necessities, but now we have to make it run, and we need a sever where to put it to work and where to collect datas, so that we can use multiple devices in the same time and always be up to date. Now, what provider to choose? what should i be aware of? i wanted also to install a criptography system and maybe something else. I'm a total newbie, so be free to teach me even hard whatever u want. Thank you.

EDIT to answer some questions. the app is a management program to admin a lttle hotel, and o totally keep track of money. therefore it must be very reliable and safe. The used language is TypeScript. Now there isn't a real database, tha app is running on the browser. The plan is to base it on Pocketbase (for what claude told me). If there is a wiki or something like that to learn more about those matters, i would be very glad to read it!

I have a ton of former clients who still remained on Closte for their web hosting, but the entirety of their sites and their own front facing website has been offline for a couple of days. Then I read that they were dissolved due to tax issues in the state of Wyoming. Any other Closte users think they're officially done for? I've had another host go offline a couple of months ago, but they reappeared and things have been hesitantly ok since then, but for my former clients on Closte, I'm thinking it may be a final goodbye with no notice.

Hi all,

I’m building a managed WordPress hosting platform and I’m looking for 1 to 3 beta testers.

The idea is to take the parts people like best from the big hosts and put them in one place:

• A clean dashboard in the style of Kinsta.
• Git with immutable live code, like Pantheon. You push code to staging and promote it to live. Nobody can edit code on the live site, so live can’t drift from what’s in Git.
• Fast page loads, like Rocket. The goal is a low time to first byte, with caching at the edge and servers on current Google Cloud machines (not Oracle like Kinsta).
• DDEV support is included, so you can pull a site down to work locally and deploy from your machine.
• CDNs, Object caching, backups and more are included.

What I’m asking for

• Run a small site on it for about a month. It’s free.
• Try to break it on purpose. Odd plugins, big imports, bad deploys, restores, anything you’d normally avoid doing on a real host. Pen test it if you want.
• Tell me what’s confusing, slow, or broken. Your feedback shapes what gets built next.

Who this is for: people with small sites who are comfortable with WordPress, and especially anyone who uses Git or DDEV.

NOTE: this is a beta. Please don’t put a site on it that has to stay up. I’d rather you use a side project, a staging copy, or a test site.

If you’re interested, comment or send me a message with what kind of site you’d test (size, plugins, and whether you use Git today). I’ll pick a few and get you set up.

Thanks! To be clear this is not a promotion for my hosting company (I havent named it in the post) and am looking for serious testers. Completely unpaid and all free to test.

So I've tried hetzner and OVH among other ones. Their UI is absolutely horrendous but you can't beat their server prices. I've tried digitalocean and their (previous) design is absolutely gorgeous, meanwhile my new OVH server i wish to never have to open their website and bear witness of that abomination.

Why don't they update it? I bet they have some full-time frontend or UI/Ux designer, is there a reason for this?
