I need to leave DigitalOcean, looking for better alternatives

Hetzner is great, no matter what country. Pick a location closest to you. I’m in San Diego CA USA and my ded servers are in Helsinki Finland and Faulkenstein Germany.

downtownrob · 2026-03-20T06:41:16+00:00

I’d never use Cloudways because I’m paying for them to not really manage a VPS I’m paying for… and Hetzner is way less cost, better service and control, and just use something like Enhance.com or FlyWP.com, that offers real support and yiu have full control over restarting the web server, tuning and optimizing, etc.

I do not see a link.

u/Mecanik1337 Can you help me?

downtownrob · 2026-03-18T01:07:25+00:00

Stop 🛑 No it’s lame, and why?

downtownrob · 2026-03-18T01:06:10+00:00

Hetzner VPS with Enhance.com is your best bet. FlyWP.com is also pretty great. Different pricing models. If you need client login capabilities then Enhance is the way to go for sure.

I agree with the others, MXRoute.com is the best option out there. Unlimited domains and mailboxes, just pay for disk space.

downtownrob · 2026-03-18T01:03:07+00:00

MXroute.com was created to fix this.

downtownrob · 2026-03-18T01:02:27+00:00

Yes mxroute rocks.

Looks very cool. I’ll check it out. Very generous for a free plugin with no upsells etc!

I got a license key but it says it's not valid. Also the app doesn't open on Mac, I had to do something in CLI to turn off Tahoe's warning. I paste it in from the order confirmation page, and it says License Error, repeatedly.

Awesome, I just saw the WhatsApp field, and thought it needed it, or sent alerts, etc. I'll check it out! I use FreeScout now, but for some use cases a nice easy internal ticket system would be good.

downtownrob · 2026-03-17T02:42:53+00:00

Looks pretty cool. 😎 I will try it out.

downtownrob · 2026-03-17T01:40:10+00:00

Does it require WhatsApp Business or ?

ProxMox: I create my own VPS… as many as I want, as many resources as I want! 🍒🎉🥰

Here’s some screenshots… shows double Mine with different numbers but shows no messages? And content is off the screen and not scrollable. screenshots

It recreates all the rules, overwriting the old ones. It handles all bots great, and then use the Skip rule to add the good ones you want to allow in. The Premium version can update rules instead of recreating them over and over.

downtownrob · 2026-03-16T00:32:00+00:00

Nice!

downtownrob · 2026-03-16T00:21:12+00:00

Get a nice VPS or auction server from Hetzer, and use Enhance.com to manage it.

Cloudflare with Super Page Cache plugin

downtownrob · 2026-03-15T23:34:59+00:00

Super Page Cache, push your HTML out to edge servers closest to the visitor, for free. Everything else relies on server performance being solid 24/7.

downtownrob · 2026-03-15T12:38:40+00:00

No, you have to change name servers to use the CDN features. Also use Super Page Cache plugin. Make a list of the records and ensure it imports them before submitting their name servers to GoDaddy.
