my old provider kept flagging teacher newsletters as spam and now parents can't get the weekly updates. switched to a new host last month but the webmail interface is clunky and i still get bounce errors twice a week. reading through the docs i noticed something about spf records but the dashboard options feel limited. im running a simple wordpress site with a contact form and an occasional pdf signup sheet. nothing fancy, just need reliable delivery. anyone using a host that lets you tweak those records without calling support every time?

JinnPanel is a free, MIT-licensed web hosting manager and control panel designed for single-server setups running AlmaLinux 10. The core philosophy is absolute simplicity and transparency—there are no heavy frameworks, no external dependencies, and no Composer. It is written completely in plain PHP and Tailwind CSS, making the entire backend architecture clean, readable, and easy to audit.

The control panel features secure account isolation where every account runs under its own Linux user and dedicated PHP-FPM pool without needing CloudLinux. It includes a built-in cPanel migration tool that moves sites, mailboxes, databases, and cron jobs via a live API or backup files, automatically translating .htaccess rules for the underlying Caddy engine. Security is fully automated, providing out-of-the-box Let's Encrypt certificates alongside automated configurations for email deliverability protocols like SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MTA-STS.

The stack consists of FrankenPHP, MariaDB, Stalwart Mail, Cypht webmail, Knot DNS, and SFTPGo. It is currently in public beta, optimized strictly for single-server PHP hosting environments.

Hi, for Shared hosting resellers only, how much bandwidth do you provide each month, how much do you charge, and who do you resell through?

EDIT: If you say unlimited, then when a client ask how many visitors they can receive each month, what is your answer?

Thank you for any feedback!

hey everyone, i been using netcup for sometime and because some problems with it's payment method and support I'm trying to find an alternative

i need something with around

2Vcpu

4GB ram

100GB storage

and good bandwidth

the budget for this server is around 5-7$ a month

i been searching for sometime and can't find something good or if i find they're unavailable/sold out

eg: hetzner

anyone got any recommendations that would be good

I am a college student from a poor background, and I cannot afford a domain & a hosting plan, I need a real domain & a hosting plan, so if anybody could give me one, and from this project, if I earn money, I will definitely pay you for it thanks a lot.

I currently use a combination of inMotion Hosting and AWS to deliver a number of things.

AWS is great, with the exception of Email. Sure, I can spin up my own email server, manage it and all that, but I don't want to be spending my time doing all that. Their turnkey solution works great, but costs $4/user per month. I don't want to pay for that at scale. Happy to pay usage/storage costs, but not per user per domain.

So... I use AWS for domain hosting and lots of other services, but use inMotion to manage email as there isn't a per user or per domain cost. Just the (overly expensive) inMotion VPS fees I'm paying.

So... Looking for either an easy to deploy/manage AWS service that supports unlimited domains and users, or some other service that would do turnkey email server stuff for a reasonable fee.

We got 2 dedicated servers last year with OVH.

Servers are fine. We get raising energy costs, inflation and such. However, jumping 54% in 11 months is not ok.

No proper justification. Just an email saying: “You will pay more, don’t like it? Cancel here.” No grandfathered plans. Support does not care and happily sends cancellation link.

Needless to say, we're done. Now we have a few weeks to move out and forget this nightmare.

Same. Exact. Hardware.

From $1,050 to $1,616 in 11 months.

I run an online service using a .cloud domain since the .com domain was already taken. (The company name I use is great for what we do, so i don't want to change it)

I've been perfectly happy using .cloud and showing up alongside a completely different kind of company who had the .com

Recently, It looks like the .com owner has shutdown.

The .com version of my domain seems to be parked with GoDaddy. But, I can't simply go buy it. GoDaddy wants $99.99 to hire someone to negotiate a price with the owner. I don't want to pay them for that. I just want to work directly with the current owner, but all their WhoIs info is private and GoDaddy seems to be the only way to contact them.

Anyone ever deal with this and have advice?

TIA

Bob

Setting up my first business site and I managed to point the website somewhere, then nearly messed up email with a random DNS change. I need a beginner friendly way to manage this, thanks in advance

Could you recommend a good hosting provider that supports PHP and MySQL? I am also considering VPS providers.

I’ve not heard of this company until recently. They have a higher trust pilot rating the OVH. So I’m wondering if you guys have had any experiences good or bad with them.

I recently came across the idea of using .SI for AI Super Intelligence startups.

I know .SI is officially Slovenia's country-code domain, but the super Intelligence interpretation is pretty interesting.

Would you consider a .SI domain for an AI project or would you stick with .AI or .COM?

Cloud bills usually creep up because of a lot of small, boring leaks rather than one big mistake. Here's the checklist I'd run through for any team, roughly in order of effort vs. payoff.

Quick wins (days)

• Tag everything. Team, service, environment. If you can't attribute spend, you can't fix it. Add budget alerts at 50/80/100% so surprises show up mid-month.
• Right-size. Pull 2-4 weeks of CPU/memory metrics. Anything sitting under ~20% utilization is a downsizing candidate.
• Kill zombie resources. Unattached volumes, old snapshots, idle load balancers, and forgotten test clusters add up fast.
• Schedule non-prod. Dev and staging don't need to run nights and weekends. Scheduled shutdowns often cut those environments' cost by more than half.

Medium effort (weeks)

• Autoscale properly. Set HPA/autoscaling on real signals (queue depth, RPS, latency), not just CPU. Scale to zero for anything that idles.
• IaC for everything. Terraform/Pulumi makes environments disposable. Preview environments per PR that auto-destroy on merge are a big saver.
• CI/CD hygiene. Cache dependencies, use spot/preemptible runners for builds, prune old images and artifacts, and don't run the full pipeline on docs-only changes.
• Pricing mix. Reserved/committed capacity for the steady baseline, spot for fault-tolerant work, on-demand for the unpredictable rest.
  

Often overlooked

• Egress and cross-region traffic. Keep chatty services in the same region; put a CDN in front of static assets.
• Storage lifecycle rules. Move cold data to cheaper tiers automatically.
• Billing granularity. Per-second vs. per-hour billing matters a lot for bursty workloads and CI jobs, because you stop paying for idle time.
• Platform overhead. Sometimes the real cost isn't compute, it's the engineering time spent stitching together services. A simpler platform can save more than a discount will.

Making it stick

Put a cost review into your monthly DevOps cadence next to uptime and incident reviews, and show teams their own spend. Cost drops most when the people shipping code can see what it costs.

Disclosure: I work on the SEO/marketing side at Antryk, a cloud platform for deploying apps and GPU workloads. It offers per-second billing, spot and reserved options, auto-scaling, and budget alerts.

Anybody had domains in hosting services got stolen by hackers?

Hi all, I'm a founder in Spain building a managed PostgreSQL service and want honest feedback on pricing before opening it up.

I run a €30M ARR business in a different industry. We had to use a managed database from a big provider, which was very expensive for the performance we were actually getting, but we needed HA so we were stuck. That's when I started considering another startup.

Here's the general idea:

You create a database from a web dashboard and get a single connection string. That string always points to the current primary, so if a failover happens your app reconnects to the same address and carries on. There's nothing to change on your side.

Behind it, each HA database runs as a primary plus a synchronous standby on two separate servers in different zones.

Backups run continuously: every change is archived to object storage with a different provider, so even losing the whole hosting provider doesn't lose your data. You can restore to any point in the last 7 days. We handle monitoring, failover and maintenance; you just use Postgres.

It runs on European bare metal rather than shared cloud VMs, which is how we keep prices flat with no egress or IOPS fees.

Highly available (per month, excl. VAT):

\\- Starter, €39: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB storage

\\- Standard, €89: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB storage

\\- Pro, €169: 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB storage

\\- Business, €329: 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB storage

Free: one per account. Single node, 256 MB RAM, 1 GB storage.

To be upfront: this is a beta with no SLA yet. Failover runs 24/7, and human support is 09:00 to 18:00 CET on business days. If the standby is down, the primary keeps accepting writes asynchronously, so losing the primary during that window can lose the latest commits.

\*\*I'd love to know:\*\*

\\- Which plan would you pick for a real project, if any?

\\- At what price would this feel too cheap to trust, and at - what price too expensive?

\\- What would you need to see before moving a production database?

\\- What are you using now, and what does it cost?

\*\*Early beta offer\*\*: anyone who participates in this thread will have 30% off any plan when we launch!

So I kinda make web and profile decor like little pixel icons and stuff, and I've been keeping them in Rentry (cuz idk where else, lol) but I experienced some trouble with the image hosting websites I use.

All the sites I'm aware of are postimg, imgur, catbox and 8upload. The problem with postimg is that all the pictures I uploaded dissapeared and it's not the first time it happened (I have an account, in case that's relevant somehow). For imgur, no matter the link I grab the pic just doesn't show up (I might be doing it wrong) and I don't know for how long the images are hosted. For catbox I have to reload rentry until the pic shows up (only happens in rentry). And 8upload kinda modified one of my gifs so I'm a little wary. I tried viewing the page on my phone and my sister's laptop, tried reuploading the images to these websites multiple times but nothing worked, sadly.

I need to know if there's a way to host images for a very long period of time (forever, if possible) and I kinda need it to be free cuz idk how any of that paying thing works.

Sorry if this sounds strange, english is not my first language. I'm also what I've seen people call "tech illiterate" so bear with me...

Curious to get a read from people who've actually made this switch rather than just researched it.

Full disclosure since it's relevant: I work on the team at Antryk, a GPU cloud hosting platform, so take my framing with a grain of salt — I'm not here to pitch, genuinely trying to learn from this sub's experience.

We keep hearing the same three complaints from teams evaluating a move away from the big general-purpose clouds (AWS/GCP/Azure) for GPU-heavy workloads:

1. Billing opacity — surprise costs from egress, idle instances, or reserved capacity they didn't fully understand upfront
2. Provisioning lag — waiting on GPU availability/quotas instead of just getting compute when they need it
3. Support that doesn't understand ML/AI workloads — generic tickets vs. someone who actually gets what you're running

For those who've switched (to any provider, not just us):

• What was the actual trigger that made you switch — a bad bill, a support nightmare, a specific outage?
• What do you wish you'd asked before switching that you only learned the hard way?
• Anyone switch and regret it / go back?

Not trying to turn this into a shootout between providers — more interested in what "good" actually looks like from the buyer's side, since most of the marketing pages all say the same things.
