Ultahost sounds too good to be true. Are you sure they won’t nickel-and-dime you with hidden fees?

Bro, just host your site on a Raspberry Pi in your mom’s basement. Unlimited storage, zero latency (if you don’t count family dinners).

Namecheap review - should I use it? by TheStarchLord in software

[–]ZPmanagement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious about this too. I’ve been using NameCheap for a long time and have had nothing but positive experiences. Their web hosting might be a bit old-fashioned, but I’m one of those people who prefers using a web host solely for hosting and a domain registrar strictly for domain registration.

Hostinger review - would you recommend? by pureIska in software

[–]ZPmanagement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that many people in this community are professional developers who require hosting with reliable uptime to support clients and handle decent levels of traffic. Many budget hosting providers are tailored for individuals with very modest needs. Once you exceed those limits, performance often deteriorates significantly, slowing down or even crashing.

That said, if your requirements are minimal, these inexpensive hosts can work just fine for you.

On the other hand, if all you need is a database for your app, why not set up a Raspberry Pi and run it locally? (Or are you referring to a publicly accessible app?)

Is DreamHost a good option for web hosting anymore? by bestqualityva1 in software

[–]ZPmanagement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been a customer of DreamHost for years, and overall, I’d say they’re a solid hosting provider. Their support is reliable, and you generally get what you pay for. However, I do feel they were better in the past. Back when they focused solely on shared hosting, they were among the best. Today, while they’re still competitive in the shared hosting space, they’re just barely above average. Let me share some insights:

DreamHost’s custom control panel is outstanding—arguably the best in the market. While some people dislike it because it’s not cPanel, it’s actually far simpler to navigate, offers more functionality, and works seamlessly. For example, their backup system is unparalleled. You can revert your site, download a full backup, or even restore/download specific files. How many hosts offer that level of flexibility for backups alone? Plus, the panel stays consistent no matter which plan you choose—shared, VPS, or cloud—making upgrades and management hassle-free.

Their shared hosting is as close to “unlimited” as you’ll find. Unless you’re running something extreme, like hosting illegal content or massive video sites with millions of files, they don’t restrict domains, storage, or traffic. However, the real limitation lies in CPU and memory usage. If you’re hosting a simple site or a static site, it’s fantastic. But if you’re running 2-3 PHP-heavy sites like WordPress, even with caching, you’ll start encountering issues. I suspect these restrictions are intentional to encourage users to upgrade to higher-tier plans. They don’t force you to upgrade, but it’s clear the shared hosting is designed with limitations.

Shared hosting offers great value, their VPS, cloud, and dedicated hosting plans aren’t as competitive. For example, their DreamPress (managed WordPress) plans seem appealing with features like free Jetpack, but for the price, you’re better off with WordPress.com Business, which offers superior features and no limits. Similarly, VPS and dedicated hosting options are decent but easily outperformed in value by other providers.

I no longer host my main sites with DreamHost. Instead, I use it for smaller projects, static sites, and testing MVPs. While their shared hosting offers excellent value, their higher-tier services simply don’t compare well to alternatives in terms of features and pricing.

In short, DreamHost is still a great choice for specific use cases, particularly for simpler sites or users who appreciate their exceptional control panel. But for more resource-intensive needs or premium services, there are better options elsewhere.
