I am planning to start an online reseller store for video games, and I am wondering what host provider would be right for this project at least to start out with.

I have heard people suggesting host-inger but I am not sure about the plan I should use premium or business

needs:

capable of handling -low-medium web traffic

stock management

reasonably price around $15-18/monthly max

I've been trying to figure out the right answer for days now and am just going in loops. If some kind souls could help me through it, I'd appreciate it. I'm a solid user (usually) with figuring issues out, but this one has me lost.

I'm the admin for a non-profit. I setup a free trial with Google Workspace. 14 days passed, got the message:

We are sorry, but your 14-day trial for Google Workspace has ended.
Please subscribe in order to continue using Google Workspace.

I click on Subscribe. It mentions a billing account being needed. I click on the help, it directs me to verify our domain. I went into our domain provider, set up an mx record. Today I looked at the domain in Google Workspace and it's connected. The message in that section points me to adding a user. I already have users setup.

I can access the workspace, settings, etc. Every time I go back to gmail, I receive the above error message. There's no way for me to add a billing account. Since we're a non-profit, I would think this should be free.

I'm at a loss. The only thing I can think of is our domain is a .com. Could this be the issue?

Any ideas out there? I appreciate any and all help! Thank you.

Is there anybody who ever bought the FlyWP lifetime license and is not using it anymore that is willing to sell it to me? Also, if there are people who have great experiences with other wordpress management GUI's who do not break the bank, please let me know!

If it helps, I run a service-based business in Canada, which is where pretty much all of my business comes from (I only get 1-2 US or international clients every couple years). I'm currently with Netfirms and my website takes sometimes upwards of 10-15 seconds to load despite only having 5-6 pages and all of them being very simple in content!! Any recommendations?

Hello,

If I am promoting my youtube channel on google ads to different countries, tracking conversions through google ads etc, is it 100% required that I connect google tag consent mode?

• If it is required, I cannot for the life of me get it connected to my youtube channel
• I was tracking conversions in google ads for my channel and it can't find the tag. Am I doing this incorrectly? Do I need my own website to do this?

I wrote on another forum about maybe it being SSL and needing my own domain but I don't think thats it.

Thanks everyone!

I am looking to setup an online store, I already own a cloudflare domain, what is a cheapish hosting platform I can use I would want to spend around edit: $15/month

I have a VPS and will be installing CloudPanel/ApisCP on it to manage my website. However, I do not want to allocate all of the resources of my VPS to my website, it won't be needing that much.

For example, I want to build an app on the VPS that will be using it's resources. Also, I will write a server-side chatbox that will store messages entered to the chat on the website. And last, a python script for monitoring. Do I have to use Docker to separate those 4 projects (the website, the app, the server-side chatbox, the python script(s) )?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I do not have much experience in web hosting and web development. If I am wrong, what would be the case where I will have to use Docker on my VPS to separate projects, what's the role of it?

I will be grateful for all corrections, advice, and support. Thank you.

Backstory: I started a NPO and my co-founder's husband purchased a domain and created a wordpress site for us several years ago. Fast forward: they have divorced and communication is difficult. Transferring ownership of domain and other accounts has been very challenging. I'm trying to understand what is going on before we contact him again.

Current Situation: I have a website built on Squarespace and the domain is managed on GoDaddy. I have all credentials for the SquareSpace and GoDaddy accounts and have transferred ownership, contact info, and payment info to our NPO. However, I know that A2 Hosting is involved in this somehow. Earlier this year when the fee didn't get paid our email (Google Workspace for Nonprofits) didn't work. I am 99% sure our website was down as well as I recall a notice when I went to the website that indicated to me the bill needed paid.

GoDaddy support has been great and they insist they don't understand what role A2 as they see on their end that the site is hosted through SquareSpace. SquareSpace customer service says that GoDaddy is managing the domain so they don't know what role A2 plays in all this. However, I know that when the bill didn't get paid the email didn't work and the website was down.

If you have an idea of what is going on, what options do I have if A2 account owner is unwilling to work with us? We have purchased another domain as part of an organizational continuity backup plan, but we'd rather not make the move unless we have to.

TIA for your help.

I recently bought VPS and set location in the USA while physically I'm located in India. The cyber panel dashboard is too slow and takes forever to load the page after I select anything and navigate through different options.
I am not sure if the issue is due to the latency my being situation far away from the server if the issue is something else. I am not sure if caching could improve the load times. Any tip would be helpful.

What I am using:
Cyberpanel on Almalinux
Hosting hardware: 2 cores, 8gb RAM, 100gb SSD
installed openlitespeed, nginx

Hi,

Looking for an alternative to Vimeo , use case is embedding to video for online training web page so platform must provide video privacy same like Vimeo.

Which one is a good price/performance alternative ?

• Hello, I am not that savvy with Wordpress and SSL's. I am computer savvy and can follow directions.
• Does anyone have a simple way for me to get/install an SSL? I am not sure if I even understand it completely.
• I am at the point where I am attempting to install /activate it and am confused and not able to move forward
• Do I need to pay for something? Any help would be beneficial. I'd prefer free if I could.
• I am ultimately trying to set my SSL/Bin setup for google tags but its just complex for me because it is not straightforward.
• Have been searching quite awhile. Thank you and have a nice day

I signed up for $69/year plan for DA Large which i think is 50 gig. BF 2024 has deal for $80 triennially. Do I understand that by taking the BF2024 plan I will save difference between $207 and $80? I understand I have to migrate from one server to another.

I’m looking to move over to xCloud in the next few days, but wondering how their support was. The chat feature available on their site is just ok, but sometimes it takes hours for them to respond. Not sure if that just pre-sales support or across the board.

Does anyone have experience with their support team or just anything else about xCloud that they’d like to share?

I'm looking into purchasing a web hosting business. I'm curious what people see for valuations (as a multiple of revenue) for these business and where people recommend going to look.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice.

Setup :

• Cloudflare dns / ssl
• Vimexx hosting. (domain name + site + mail server)
• Gmail to fetch pop3 mail from the mail server.
• Some external services as subdomains.

Problem :

Last summer when my ssl certificate on vimexx expired I had trouble renewing it.
The Vimexx helpdesk said I better manage it through cloudflare so I did.

The result was that the website was back to normal but gmail would not fetch the pop3 anymore due to an ssl error.

Today I took some time to look into it and found that cloudflare does not support ssl for mail and suggested to not use a proxy for mail. So I did. But that did not fix anything.

I tried to create a nex certificate on vimexx for the mail.domain only and that worked for gmail but now the site was unreachable.

I'm doing something wrong making me have to choose between site or mail.

What is the proper way to set this up?

Hi, I am a videographer and have used Vimeo for years to host my portfolio so I can embed it on my site. Vimeo has got very expensive and the UI gets worse and worse. I don't need the platform, I just need to embed my videos on my site high quality

Can anyone comment on the quality of videos uploaded to Bunny.net? How do they compare. Vimeo is much better than Youtube for example

Also, should I upload uncompressed Prores files to Bunny or should I compress them first to Mp4? The first would be over 10x bigger than the latter. Bunny compresses the files itself right? So how do you work out what you will be charged, is it based on the original video size, or what Bunny compresses it to?

Thank in advance, its all a bit confusing!

My website is hosted on hostgator shared hosting plan, it gets around 400-500 visitors per day and has over 800 articles published. I tried to update it to latest version of wordpress but it didn't work out well since I had taken a backup I restored it. But since then there are too many process requests that my website is generating somehow and loading the disk space.

The support team is available to call and they told me that If I upgrade it to cloud hosting on single domain plan the issue will be resolved. I had taken a VPS plan on hostlinger too but since it doesn't come with CPanel or hpanel, I haven't migrated the website there. Might use it to host other websites but not the main one.

I am looking for a hosting provider which offers VPS plan that comes with Cpanel and has good support. I am not a developer but know basic things to manage through Cpanel and would like to continue using it. Can you guys help me fine one?

I had a small host out of the Netherlands for many years who recommended me to a US-based company when he got out of the business. It's been fine but I want to get my content off US servers before inauguration day.

Looking for just chill, smallish business host recommendations out of somewhere in the EU. Need cpanel, free migration, able to host like 6 websites and subdomains.

Thanks for any reccs or leads!

ETA: No wordpress, small potatoes/personal websites. I'm an artist and webcartoonist, so there's always the chance of getting an uptick in visits in the future as projects fluctuate in popularity and readership.

Questionnaire:

• Mostly image-heavy static sites and a private/invite-only phpbb forum with few visits. No wordpress.

Do you have a monthly traffic volume? Estimates are ok.

• Probably 2-10k visits per domain per month.

If you’re looking at VPSes: Do you have experience administrating linux servers and infrastructure?

Did you read the sidebar/check out the hosts listed there? I've personally vetted these companies and their services are a good fit for 99% of people.

• Yeah.

Hello there!

I am now paying for a VPS, and own a domain. The VPS is on Contabo, it's running Ubuntu 22.04 and I hope to host a WordPress website on it. I have no idea what to do to get started. I do understand that I need to set up SSH and install something, but I am mostly clueless.

Should I install Bitvise or WinSCP for SSH and then install a web panel on the server?

Would I have to install nginx or would a web panel be enough?

What web panel and database do you recommend? (I can't afford cPanel)

I will be grateful for any advice. Thank you.

Hopefully not too far off topic here, I just want to ask someone with expertise on this subject. It's been a while since I've had to buy or renew a domain, when I search in my usual, smaller registrar I see their prices SPIKED DRAMATICALLY, offering an initial year for the usual ~$15, but then over $50 for subsequent years!?!

What happened?

But then when I went to check on a more popular, mainstream registrar I was seeing regular prices again? I'm avoiding naming the registrars here to avoid breaking rules or spamming. But it seems that smaller registrar are tripling their prices? Bigger registrars are not? Or just a matter of time before they all hike the price?

What's happening?

I see some domains going for as much as $100 /yr. That's insane for small business and personal sites.

Hello, I have a potential client that is in need of a website but they don't want to spend an arm and a leg on webhosting and a domain. Their in the landscaping business so I know it's not just the homepage.

I was hoping someone here would know of a good host/domain combo for a simple website. They're not selling anything just telling about what they do and contacting them. Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good hosting service? I’ve tried GoDaddy and a few others, but they always feel overly complicated to use. I just want something simple and reliable. Any suggestions?

Hi. I have used TSO host for over a decade and now my account is under 123 reg. It caused me to be locked out of my main 123 reg account until they sent me an email giving me access but I now have to use 2 email addresses.

I have tried using EcoHost in the past but your main domain seems to connect to all other domains even if their separate eg - browning url is 1st website the server name is brown. all additonal website then become brown/add/black web. If you undertand. I cancelled that main domain but now have to get tech support to change it but the domain still forms part of server name

Anyway is there any good affordable UK based web hosts that include free SSL certs. With good customer service? I need to pay monthly initially and host 2-3 websites.

What is your monthly budget?

• Where are you/your users located? UK
• What kind of site are you hosting - Wordpress
• Do you have a monthly traffic volume? Low traffic but will increase
• Did you read the sidebar/check out the hosts listed there? I've personally vetted these companies and their services are a good fit for 99% of people. yh

I have a local setup on my PC where, using Flask, I can upload a file of ids to an internal webpage and it will show a filterable/searchable table of information that was cross-referenced from a local mySQL db. I'd like to move this into a shareable solution.

What is a good webhost that I can set this up on? I'm fine with doing it myself, including the installation of the db and webserver, and prefer a linux server. The db table is extremely simple, so I'm not married to mySQL if that's a limiting factor.

Edit: Survey questions:

• What is your monthly budget? Minimal. This is a convenience for enthusiasts, not a business.
• Where are you/your users located? Hawaii/Anywhere. Self-hosting is not an option as residential internet is terrible where I live.
• What kind of site are you hosting (Wordpress, phpBB, custom software, etc) or what is your use case? See post above.
• Do you have a monthly traffic volume? Estimates are ok. Honestly no idea.
• If you’re looking at VPSes: Do you have experience administrating linux servers and infrastructure? Yes.
• Did you read the sidebar/check out the hosts listed there? I've personally vetted these companies and their services are a good fit for 99% of people. Yes. Even the lowest plans seem to be more than I need.

I'm currently at my wits end with GoDaddy, though I have more than a dozen domains with them I've struggled with their hosting options and after today I'm just done.

Their 24/7 chat is offline. Their text tech support doesn't understand the problem and refuses to forward me.

I've spent a couple hundred dollars trying to upgrade and shift my website design and it's non-functional because GoDaddy doesn't update or operate at all.

Who offers an easy to use page design with service/appointment support tools?

I need to offer service/appointments, without set times. I was trying to workaround the appointment aspects (and the fact that their "scheduling" tool regularly crashes) on godaddy by offering it as a product, and sending service information separately, however that's erroring out now as well.

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking about changing my hoster and considering going to a hoster with cpanel or DirectAdmin. So I did some research on these control panels. I came across a (supposed) limitation:

Both systems allow the creation of email accounts and forwarders. For example, you can create an email account with the address

john@company.com

and then

admin@company.com

as a forwarder from which emails are forwarded to john@company.com.

1. but can you also use john's email account to answer emails with the forwarder address (in the example admin@company.com) / send emails with this address?

2. my current hoster differentiates between email accounts and email addresses. email accounts only have an internal username, e.g. “john01”. You can then assign email addresses to these email accounts, e.g. john@company.com, admin@company.com, whatever@company.com. This gives you the option of simply entering a “user-defined sender address” in the email program and choosing whether to send the email from john@company.com, admin@company.com or whatever@company.com. Do you know of another control panel that works like this?

I want to start a travelblog/YouTube Channel and have been waiting for Black Friday to make a purchase. Now I'm all confused what type of hosting to choose ?

So I'm not really a IT geek but also not entirely illiterate when it comes to tech stuff. But I should probably still go for managed wordpress hosting? Or will shared be enough since I probably won't have 1000 visitors/day from the getgo? What else to look out for.

Lmao SOS, so lost iver here. I will pay someone to set up the website anyways, so just have to figure that one out and would appreciate some help!

Thanks xx

Edit: eventually I'll also use this website to promote my books and business/other projects, so it should be a proper website^^

Hello,

I have tried some hosting that are very good.

The perplexities arise from the fact that by doing the company viewings, I actually see that they are made up of one person, with few assets, if any at all.

In your experience, what kind of risk might there be in entrusting one's clients' sites to such businesses?

Isn't it that if they get a cold then everything goes up?

Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Hello everyone!

I run a small blog on HostGator for about 7 years now, multi-domain linux hosting and off late there are a lot of issues with speed, increasing prices etc. In about a month I've to renew and I'm considering to switch but there are so many recommendations from AWS to Kinsta that I'm quite confused and would really appreciate the community's help. I am looking to build for future and speed and security are critical aspects, I want to move away from shared hosting but don't want to break the bank.

Many thanks!

I don't know if I should renew Gridpane. I've been using it for years and am on the $1k per year plan called Developer (not developer plus) which isn't offered any longer. I know the price is good compared to the current (BF) pricing, and that they say they're going to stop offering it forever soon in favor of becoming a managed WP host (they have some secret deal in the works, I think).

The new features and dashboard are probably going to come to my plan, but I don't really understand what my restrictions will be compared to the new services they plan to roll out, like multiple users. Does anyone understand how this will work, and are you keeping Gridpane or moving to a lower priced alternative like Runcloud or a self-hosted solution like Enhance?
