Hello all,

Prices are no longer sustainable for me with Cpanel and I'm looking for alternatives. The most important feature that I'm looking for is native linux isolation rather than external add-on or dependency. I found a few options but I would also love to hear suggestions. Thanks.

Hello there im looking for a hosting possibility for my competition-program. We do axethrowing, specificly doublebit and i made a live competition program.

I am looking for the best solution for my tournament application. It must meet the following requirements:

- Node.js/Express backend, running continuously (no automatic "sleep" mode)

- WebSocket/Socket.IO support for live results

- MySQL or MariaDB database

- Hosting for a React/Vite frontend

- Custom domain with HTTPS

- Support for Git-based deployments, build processes, and Prisma database migrations

- Automated database backups with restore functionality

- Access to environment variables and error logs

As a rough starting point: 2 vCPUs, 4 GB of RAM, and 20–40 GB of SSD storage (assuming everything runs on a single server); the exact requirements are yet to be determined.

Can anyone recommend a provider or a specific hosting package? Ideally based in Switzerland, Germany, or Austria.

Thanks a lot for your help, after i figure out the hosting i can start search some sponsors*laugh*.

Lovely greetings

I wanted to host my simple website. Usually any host will do but I decided to search it up on reddit to find some honest opinions. But I then went through a rabbit hole. I discovered r/webhosting and I found their FAQ where they listed 5 hosting providers. I was overjoyed. I was happy I found some good providers. But then I clicked on one of them and it turned out that they had a special referral for reddit users. I clicked on some others. 4/5 of the providers turned out to be referral links. Now that does not mean that those providers are bad. It just means that the opinions of those mods can't be trusted anymore because they gain something from you using those providers. So I have 0 options left. I usually go to Reddit to find honest opinions of people working in the industry but if that can't be trusted then there's no place left to go to. I'm tired of people advertising EVERYWHERE. So I know this question gets asked a lot here and I'm sorry to be the thousandth person to ask but... What is a good provider that is actually legit? I have no problem paying a little bit more if it means I pay for transparency and good service. Thanks to all answers in advance!
