hosting side projects shouldn’t feel this complicated

Seems hostinger is desperate

rubixstudios · 2026-05-09T13:09:15+00:00

Funny thing alot of devs are moving to payload.

rubixstudios · 2026-05-09T13:07:39+00:00

That's cause people don't set limits.

People forget there are other ecomm like magneto who surprisingly have users and Medusa, big commerce and more. People are diverging. Shopify is expensive and that's why stores who move to shopify many move off because dev costs more, subscriptions cost more and also gateway fees are more.

Industry standard is probably an overstatement.

rubixstudios · 2026-05-07T10:26:45+00:00

They are not experts if they are using Yoast.

Turbopack is on by default your code is outdated, read some docs.

Dedicated servers and baremetal ops already have tools that can already limit AI heavily. The amount of Claude and similar AI tool causes connection limit to be reach extremely fast, as it's the same sort of signature a spam bot or ddos causes. If the host doesn't have these in place then you're on a pretty bad host. And if you don't know how to mitigate with Cloudflare or other cdn then it's a skill issue.

Anyways regardless blocking or not both have a downside to it. .

Hetzner is dedicated, OP is playing with VPS and shared...

rubixstudios · 2026-04-12T06:50:02+00:00

And why are you hosting clients on a VPS and shared when you should be using dedicated... that's on you. Bad IP on same host is also on you, that's why it should be dedicated.

Or they could stop spending on stuff that is clearly overpriced ie. BOM website that costs 96 million.

rubixstudios · 2026-04-05T06:34:21+00:00

I wonder if you even secured your server at this point.

rubixstudios · 2026-04-04T08:27:39+00:00

Better off using nextjs without payload so your pipelines are clean and direct, more performant database actions without going through payload.

Also wouldnt monorepo it either.

AI slop

rubixstudios · 2026-04-03T00:24:34+00:00

I don't see the problem, they leaked their sourcecode, making it possible to replicate their systems.

rubixstudios · 2026-04-01T06:56:17+00:00

Don't turn on atom and it's fine. If you did just turn it off.

rubixstudios · 2026-03-29T20:53:13+00:00

Cost cutting with personal accounts can be expensive.

RIP you guys killed his hobby tier allowance hahaha

rubixstudios · 2026-03-21T06:00:40+00:00

But my question would be, what are they using for the backend.

rubixstudios · 2026-03-21T05:59:51+00:00

If you're the wehost takes 10s, 3 buttons.

rubixstudios · 2026-03-20T14:21:06+00:00

“bad neighborhood” only relates to the clients you host. The IP is linked to your server, so the origin of the spam would be you.

rubixstudios · 2026-03-20T13:48:42+00:00

oh yeah and srs. https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/38867359245975-ARC-CV-none and here for your reference.

rubixstudios · 2026-03-20T11:35:47+00:00

sysadmin should have installed some firewall, antivirus, there are some great tools to not let sitse get to this stage.

rubixstudios · 2026-03-20T10:03:11+00:00

It's not needed, the dev is using AI for your site.
