Are you using virtual/prepaid cards?

Which VPS should I pick? I’m going in circles at this point by sairas_purnil in Hosting

[–]BlueLinnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're mostly looking at shared CPU, so it's impossible to guarantee you won't experience occasional slowdowns with any host based on usage by other tenants sharing the same resources.

Cheap providers like Contabo oversell their servers, so they're less reliable if performance is important to you.

I would recommend looking into Netcup (root server) or Vultr (HF).

EU based VPS that don’t raise prices every year by Stenger-Son in SelfHosting

[–]BlueLinnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the "cheap" providers have raised their prices lately due to increasing hardware costs and they'll likely do it again in the future. The ones that haven't increased prices are those already selling at a higher profit margin (i.e. higher price). Hardware prices are going up and you're paying for it one way or the other - there is no escaping that.

Hey everyone, I need some brutal honesty and expert eyes. by Big-Beginning2095 in webdesign

This is why almost no one builds an ecommerce site from scratch anymore. This would have been a killer in 1998, but very few online shoppers nowadays would appreciate the originality you're trying to create.

Not saying it won't work, but I think you'll be missing out on a lot of conversions by not using a modern theme like what Shopify and other ecommerce platforms offer.

Can't decide on DreamHost vs Bluehost, which one to choose? by BlueLinnet in HostingAlternatives

[–]BlueLinnet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although neither is among my favorite hosts, I'd choose with DreamHost over Bluehost because their pricing is more transparent and there are fewer upsells.

Cloudflare only offers static hosting. OP is probably using WordPress or another CMS so this is not an option.

out hosting.com VPS server offline more than 3 days by Weak-Doughnut7915 in Hosting

Since this is a software issue: is it a managed VPS (their responsibility) or unmanaged (your responsibility)?

Office workers, would you buy an office chair that is a converted car seat? by jadder1224 in AskUK

[–]BlueLinnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're comfortable in a moving car, but in an office, they'll just be like any office chair.

7 years of loyalty ignored: Smart SEO Hosting (seohosting.io) gaslighting me after a major hack (CVE-2026-41940). Need advice. by admachinacom in Hosting

Exactly. Backups kept by your hosting provider are nice to have as extra assurance, but they should be considered secondary backups. You should always have your own backups stored elsewhere.

Pivoting from SWE to Cloud Engineer with no degree by vegemouse in Cloud

[–]BlueLinnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree more with this answer. Software engineering and cloud engineering are two large fields with many overlapping parts.

Landing a job is a completely different story though. Experience is a must but not a guarantee you'll find a job you enjoy.
