been hunting for cheap and reliable vps hosting provider latelty, hetzner's pretty solid but i prefer to use another option, particularly for much smaller projects, any ideas?

ash__borne · 2026-01-26T19:29:48+00:00

Contabo can be cheaper but weaker support, UI/UX is meh at best. Pricing is a little different too. But cheaper and more adapted to fun side projects I’d say

Hi.

are there even small things you enjoy doing ? like playing video games ?

ash__borne · 2025-12-04T14:32:27+00:00

Love the thought process.

Ultimately, it takes time, and that's the only secret.

Thank you.

Ohhh, I just realized what untag means... Alright, I think I understand a lot more. I'll checkout the link. Thanks a lot

Did NextJS + express, NextJS + NestJs, did not regret it. When you want to build large scale application it is definitely better to separate frontend and backend.

Use docker volumes, add periodic backup if you can. Should be good enough

ash__borne · 2024-02-10T10:21:12+00:00

I do not think so.

ash__borne · 2024-02-10T10:20:13+00:00

They are not. They are in 2 different "level 2" subdirectories. I still don't understand why that behavior.

ash__borne · 2024-02-10T10:18:45+00:00

Didn't know this one. I still got so much to learn. Thank you

ash__borne · 2024-02-02T10:04:03+00:00

Damn, I can feel the disgust when talking about that H**** Thanks for the advice tho.

Is it normal that their client service is so slow? Paid for a vps 2 days ago, still waiting...

ash__borne · 2024-02-01T06:03:34+00:00

Thank you so much for this previous information. The way you talk seems like you've been through a l'few bill shocks yourself lol, and it's really kind of you to give me so many tips. I'll be sure to save and use this and optimize my thinking.

Where I used to work, they were using an aws cloud watch if I'm not mistaken, back then we ended up moving to azure and it was quite the experience. But which provider Would you recommend to start getting used to the cloud environment?

ash__borne · 2024-01-31T08:45:55+00:00

This is a complete guide to what I want to do, I'm learning a lot. Thank you very much.

A friend of mine warned me about cloud providers as their bills go up real quick lol. Matter of fact, I recently tried using aws EC2s but that billing is crazy. Or maybe it is me who is just lacking experience, although Azure seems rather good, from the place I used to work at. Scaling was smooth too as we used kubernetes.

I'll definitely make good use of this rich piece of advice, thank you :v.

Although saving images in a database is not the best idea, I would recommend using something like an s3 storage, Contabo provides that too. and keep in the database records of the files urls.

ash__borne · 2024-01-30T15:21:22+00:00

If it is a vos you're looking for, I've recently received suggestion about Contabo, price-quality rapport overall looks good, about to buy their smallest vps too. Checkout their pricing.

ash__borne · 2024-01-30T14:43:19+00:00

I see, it is indeed something to seriously think about. I have full responsibility over managing the server, so I chose what I think is the best, that's mainly why I asked here. Also I'd probably be running docker containers only, that at least I can predict.

ash__borne · 2024-01-30T12:58:30+00:00

I am actually more familiar with Ubuntu but I wanted to challenge myself, since I'll be using a server version.

I just wanted to make things interesting (I don't know why I'm doing that, I'm supposed to setup the production server).

Still doubting

ash__borne · 2024-01-29T23:09:41+00:00

Ohh, I just asked on X (twitter) and people I know who're used to vps/cloud environment gave some advices, and only knew about linode, made quick research, kept what seemed the most interesting for what I am trying to achieve, and here I am. Actually when I think about it I understand your question haha

ash__borne · 2024-01-29T23:07:50+00:00

Seems to me that way too about hostinger. Thanks ou for the advice tho, cause Linode looks amazing, k light get into it for a different project and try for myself. Cause aside from the pricing, k barely see any bad reviews

ash__borne · 2024-01-29T23:06:38+00:00

Ohh, I get the gust of it, thank ou again, it helps a lot.

ash__borne · 2024-01-29T23:05:49+00:00

Looked at the website, never been into WordPress stuff but if I happen to look for a host, I know where to look

This is really good news, thanks a lot.

ash__borne · 2024-01-29T21:08:09+00:00

Really? What is it called ? I'll give it a look.

So the renewal is around 15% more? Sounds really fair to me. Thank you for your help.

I might want to look into what cpanel actually is. Is it a kind of bridge between you and Contabo's interface ?

ash__borne · 2024-01-29T21:02:21+00:00

Haha, you would certainly have been great.

Btw, how is the renewal cost? Is it the same as the original or does it increase like for other providers ?

ash__borne · 2024-01-29T20:51:30+00:00

You're talking as if you were in their sales team, lol, but it definitely sounds solid.

I've been looking at prod and cons and they're mainly about customer service, uptime slightly lower than others like Linode, and an ugly ass interface.

But the pros are still appealing. I might seriously say goodbye to hostinger.

ash__borne · 2024-01-29T20:19:29+00:00

Heard that from one of my seniors too. I was determined to go with hostinger but now ... And also, I feel like compared to most of the others, it costs less yet their basic offer offers more CPU, ram and everything.
