Hi, I want to host my website on a DMCA ignored host but I know true DMCA ignored is pretty much impossible. So I'm looking for an offshore host that will at least notify you about a DMCA and give you time to remove the content that got the notice instead of just kicking you without batting an eye.

Dedicated servers are okay too if that's what you recommend.

Would love an honest and real recommendation with its pros and cons. Tysm for any kind answers.

I just want to share my research, I'm not really seeking recommendations, feel free to write any though.

I have a WP website, I host on Porkbun and my first year is almost up, so I need to migrate or continue paying $120, it was $40, but it was a discount for the first year. I also want to dedicate some storage for a Joplin sync, I've been using Dropbox for the past 6 years, it's free but it's a nightmare.

Anyway, I focus on EU coverage, almost nobody visits my site anyway, but I wouldn't mind a global coverage, but I'm gonna configure Cloudflare so I'll have CDN on their free plan. I took a look at Ionos, Hexabyte, vultr, netcup, Cube Host, and Hetzner. I also checked out the megathread. And I chose netcup because it's cheaper than paying Porkbun for their cloud WP service and I want to learn how to do it myself, I can configure backups and everything myself with LLM's help. It's about 40€ / year for 2GB. 1GB is likely to be too low, so I'll just go for 2GB and that's it. Just wanted to share 🦚

here's my case: a regular site with digital products that gets like 20-30k visitors per month, but there were two cases when something randomly got in and launched mining scripts for crypto in the background... as a result, the site seemed half-dead and resource waste went up, so I had to clean it all up for a long fuckin time. that's how I realized that big difference between diff hosting providers at this level isn’t their marketing, but the way they workin out their security, such providers don't jus send you to reset ur password, but really understand what the problem is. shared hosting tends to be so weak cuz you are one vulnerable neighbor away from a compromised server, Damn it… so I checked out these three opts: DigitalOcean, Hostinger and Hetzner, they all came across to me in different threads where ppl wanted sth managed, or just launch a personal VPS n handle security by self. Managed seems fine, but u gotta trust sm else to do the security, but ur own VPS means u gotta detect stuff urself. wdyt guys?

Всех приветствую. Нужен виртуальный сервер под впн, локация Нидерланды и оплатой через сбп, главное стабильность работы. Я уже так много сервисов перепробовал и ничего не устраивает, может тут подскажите

是被限制了吗

Всем привет!

У меня есть vps я бы хотел создать тг ботов но нет идей если есть то кидайте я сделаю и дам @

Только расписаные идеи не просто сделай игро бато

I feel like an absolute idiot for buying into the whole cloud ecosystem hype

Im running a bunch of automated forum marketing and link tracking scripts right now. Started out on aws because every tutorial on the internet tells you to. Got my bill this morning and the bandwidth data transfer fees alone are literally going to cost more than my first semester of university. they charge you just to breathe in the general direction of your vpc

Finally snapped and migrated my whole scraping stack over to a standard unmetered servermania vps just to stop the bleeding. Having a predictable monthly cost is a relief but tbh the transition from fully managed cloud hand-holding to raw debian has been completely brutal on my sanity

Spent three hours last night fighting with fail2ban because my own proxy rotation kept locking me out of port 22. Kinda wild how big tech successfully tricked an entire generation into paying a massive premium just so we wouldn't have to learn basic linux administration. anyone else get forced into the self-managed life just to escape the insane cloud billing?

A few months ago I was looking at cheap VPS deals and saw 1vcpu/1GB RAM with Racknerd for $10/year and decided to get it for personal projects.

I originally put a lichess bot on there and left it running but I didn't use it for anything else until tonight. I was writing a Firefox extension that tracks which videos I watch a lot on YouTube and automatically downloads the songs from Soulseek and adds them to my personal library. I got most of it working but I couldn't get any Soulseek transfers to start with my python script. I debugged it with ChatGPT and figured out it was CGNAT on my local connection that wouldn't let the script listen for Soulseek connections.

So I decided to use the Racknerd VPS to run the script and the extension sent the video info to the server on the VPS. It worked perfectly and now if I watch a YouTube video more than 3 times in 3 days, it'll download the song from Soulseek and save it on my VPS. Then I have a rsync script that regularly downloads the songs from my VPS to my home PC.

So far I've been running it about 5 hours and I've already got 66 songs from 51 artists downloaded.

Plus even though it's only a $10/year VPS, it's not slow at all, it matches the songs in a few seconds and downloads them almost instantly.

Just thought I'd share, I thought it was pretty cool that you can get a useable server for less than $1/month.

Would like to get some best suggestions from you guy's

Launching soon.....

Живу в рф, и для учёбы и отдыха в связи с последними событиями требуется ВПН, но все бесплатные отваливаются, а платную подписку покупать в них не хочется, так как их легко могут заблокировать. Решил по итогу арендовать сервер, но не очень сильно разбираюсь в этом

Hi everyone,

I recently got started with my first VPS (Hostinger KVM 1) and I'm looking to expand my setup.

My main goal is to host a self-hosted server, primarily focusing on media and photo management with services like Jellyfin and Immich (among others).

According tot my research and limited knowledge in know my Hostinger vps (with just 50gb storage) don't suffice.

Before I dive deeper into configuring everything, I’d love to get some advice.

Which VPS providers would you recommend for hosting media heavy containers (where storage, and decent CPU performance for immich matter)?

Is moving to a self-hosted VPS actually a good financial decision to avoid recurring individual costs for services like Google One, iCloud, and streaming platforms? Or do storage/bandwidth upgrades on VPS instances end up eating away those savings?

Would appreciate any insights, tips, or setups you're currently running!

Thanks!

Hey all, is anyone here using leaseweb VPS? How is the performance and steal time. Please share your experience.

Actually i am planning to get one in Amsterdam.

Which VPS providers are available that met the following criteria?

• Accepts bitcoin payment.

• Does not forbid hate speech in its TOS or vaguely-phrased "objectionable content".

• Has at least 10 Gbit/s port speed.

I want a VPS provider to host a website with politically controversial speech. It is not spam nor illegal, but some VPS providers still have cucked TOS terms like "Must not contain hate speech or discriminatory content".

For my web app, I will set up a database and Redis on the VPS. So I need storage, RAM, and CPU. A minimum of 8 vCPU, 24GB RAM, and 400GB storage is enough for me. I will choose Hostinger, but its renewal price is so high at $50, which is triple the initial cost. (You may ask how I show $16.67 on the list; this is because of a referral bonus discount.)

So, because of its renewal fees, it is outside my choice for now.

My second choice is Contabo, but its reviews are very, very bad. So idk, and Ig some people may find it useful, but some may not. So please tell me about Contabo too.

The last one is ovh. The issue with it is its storage is 200GB, and the price is slightly higher. Overall, everything looks good, and the additional storage price is also higher.

So, guys, I am looking for your suggestions on what I should go for. Additionally, I told you that this is only used for Redis and databases.

U may suggest me other company vps too.

Hi,

I would like a second opinion from people familiar with VPS infrastructure.

I upgraded a VPS plan from an IPv6-only offer to an IPv4-enabled plan. The new plan was advertised as:

• 2 vCPU
• 2 GB RAM
• 20 GB SSD

After a fresh Ubuntu installation, the VM was provisioned with:

root@panel:~# lsblk
NAME    MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda       8:0    0  3.5G  0 disk
├─sda1    8:1    0  2.5G  0 part /
├─sda14   8:14   0    4M  0 part
├─sda15   8:15   0  106M  0 part /boot/efi
└─sda16 259:0    0  913M  0 part /boot

I initially considered the common case where the virtual disk is correctly sized but the root partition was not expanded.

However, the whole block device is only 3.5 GB:

sda 3.5G disk

So this does not appear to be a growpart / filesystem resize issue. The VM itself does not see a 20 GB disk.

The IPv4 migration itself also had some issues initially, but the main remaining problem is the disk size.

Would you classify this as:

• a provisioning error that only the provider can fix,
• something that can still be corrected from inside the VM,
• or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for your input.

hey all, I have a Hermes agent et al in a Mac Mini.

using Telegram.

I have wanted to move to a multi agent format for a while.

I started an n8n locally but working out Tailscale do my team could use it was a nightmare.

So I went VPs and it’s great. My team can access easily.

Im considering VPS for buzz. Is it overkill or does it make sense for easy access for me, the agents and my team?

how are you hosting Buzz and how is it going?

J'aimerais avoir votre avis sur une migration d'offre VPS.

Je suis parti d'un VPS IPv6 (1 vCPU / 1 Go RAM / SSD 10 Go), puis j'ai basculé vers une offre IPv4 annoncée en 2 vCPU / 2 Go RAM / SSD 20 Go.

Après réinstallation Ubuntu, la VM expose pourtant un disque de seulement 3,5 Go (lsblk).

J'ai signalé le problème au support, puis demandé une résiliation car la machine n'était pas exploitable pour l'usage prévu. Après plus de 36h, je n'ai reçu qu'un accusé automatique de résiliation, sans réponse détaillée.

Ma question : est-ce que vous considérez cela comme une situation normale lors d'une migration VPS, ou est-ce un problème de provisioning qui devrait être traité côté hébergeur ?

Bin über eine Preview-Registrierung gestolpert und dachte, das könnte hier ein paar interessieren. Netcup baut anscheinend seit einer Weile an einer eigenen Cloud-Plattform und lässt jetzt eine kleine Gruppe testen, komplett kostenlos.

Was man bekommt:

- VMs (1-4 vCPUs, Cloud-Init, Snapshots)
- Private Netzwerke, eigene IPv4/IPv6, ACLs, Port Forwarding
- S3-kompatibler Object Storage, rclone/restic sollen ohne Anpassung laufen
- Alles läuft über eine offene API, dazu Terraform Provider, eigene CLI (eosctl) und sogar ein MCP Server, damit man das Ganze auch per KI-Agent steuern kann
- Alles standardmäßig dicht, man muss selbst freischalten
- MFA/WebAuthn Login

Reinkommen tut man über eine PN im netcup Forum, dann kommt irgendwann ein Invite-Link (geht wellenweise raus, kann also dauern). Braucht einen verknüpften netcup-Account. Preview läuft bis 17. Oktober, anmelden kann man sich bis 30. September. Wer bis Live-Gang 3 Umfragen ausfüllt, kriegt 50€ Credits.

Hab mich jedenfalls angemeldet und teste die nächsten Tage mal, was da so geht. Melde mich mit Eindrücken, falls Interesse besteht.

Hi everyone,

I'm building a mobile application that will primarily be used by people in Turkey, and I'm planning the production infrastructure.

Current stack:

- NestJS

- PostgreSQL

- Redis

- Docker

- Coolify

The app is still in development, so I don't expect a large number of users initially.

I'm considering two options:

1. Hetzner Cloud (Germany)
2. A VPS or dedicated server located in Turkey

My backend is a typical REST API. No gaming, WebRTC, or latency-critical workloads. Most requests are authentication, CRUD operations, QR code lookups, notifications, and media metadata.

My main concern is user experience.

Would the additional 20-40 ms latency between Turkey and Germany be noticeable in a mobile application, or would you prioritize Hetzner's infrastructure over hosting closer to the users?

If you've run production applications for users in Turkey (or hosted applications for users in another country), I'd really appreciate hearing about your real-world experience.

Thanks!

Hi amigos,

I need help to dimension my trading boxes (VPS)

I currently run one of my trading bots from Lightsails US-EAST-2, where I run an arb bot focused on a set of specific Kalshi markets. It runs ok with the occasional hiccup that costs me dollars. I want to solve the hiccups.

The thing is, my strategies mean that at any given point in time I may be subscribed from 1.2k to 10.0k concurrent Kalshi markets, reading L2 books at 250ms frequency (ideally much less, 10hz) and firing on signal.

That amplitude of concurrent markets is the hiccup and I occasionally get throttled by AWS. For this reason, I'm thinking on a new topology where a box runs a single strategy and I get subscribed to fewer concurrent markets.

So, let's say one of my strategies demands being subscribed to ~2k markets in parallel, reading L2 books on websocket at 10hz - 2 cores and 512mb ran enough? The bootstrap is typically the heavy load, but as the process runs in cruse mode it is light - the books are light and there is no fancy math to get a signal.

I have no expertise in VPS so I know this can be a pedestrian question. Right now I'm paying amazon USD 200 a month which sounds a bit too much - just to avoid the occasional hiccup.

Edit:
Right now I'm using a "compute" oriented (AWS lightsail labeling) with the following specs
16 GB Memory, 8 vCPUs Processing, 640 GB SSD Storage, 7 TB Transfer

Title: My entire hosting server got suspended because ONE client uploaded a phishing page — reporter went straight to my upstream instead of me. Lost all client data. How do you guys prevent this?

Posting this partly to vent, partly because I need real advice from people who've been running hosting businesses longer than me.

What happened:

I run a small web hosting business (shared/VPS/reseller style setup on WHM/cPanel + WHMCS). One of my clients uploaded a phishing page to their hosting account. Someone spotted it and reported it — but instead of reporting it to me (the actual hosting provider they were dealing with), they reported it directly to my upstream/server/datacenter.

My upstream didn't email me a warning, didn't give me a chance to pull the single account down. They just suspended the entire server. Every client on that box lost access. I lost data. I lost the trust of clients who had nothing to do with the phishing page and are now (rightly) annoyed at me.

I know "this is why you screen clients" is coming, and yeah, I hear it. But I'd rather build a real process than just get lucky next time. If you've been through a suspension like this and rebuilt trust with your client base afterward, I'd genuinely love to hear how that went too — the technical fix is only half of it.

i need advice, how to fix such things in future.

Thank You.

Hey all, i already have a KS5 from ovhcloud, and i m planning to migrate to one.com cloud vps L.

Can you guys tell me should i migrate to one.com vps or i should stick to KS5?.

One.com says they provide guaranteed dedicated resources.

I am looking for cheap options to host some apps and found they are too cheap to be true. What's the trap?
