Webhost

who do you/have you used for hosting a site?

only ones that seem to get mentioned in review are hostgator/dreamhost/bluehost but there's got to be great smaller cheaper companies.

Other urls found in this thread:

shared-ssl
your-domain

i used 000webhost. they provide some pretty robust free service. unfortunately, they got hacked and all my infoz were taken.

that's a bummer. dreamhost seems decent because they offer free ssl through let's encrypt. but after 1st year they charge to add more domains to your account. host gator you can only get 1 ssl unless you upgrade to a reseller/business plan.

i don't really mind paying 10-15 a month for reliable hosting, there's just a lot of choices.

all the review sites i find are just shit for reseller clicks.

why not rent small linux server for ~$5/month? do whatever you like with it, including lets encrypt.

just don't have the time to learn all i'd need to i guess. maybe one day. i've never had a bnc for irc, i've always wanted one of those.

I've been using servage.net for like 10 years, very good webhost.
They also offer VPS, but if all you want is to host a website, their managed webhosting service will support almost everything you can throw at it. With that you get 750 GB disk space, 1000 MySQL databases at 100 MB each, unlimited bandwidth, support for most if not all web-related stuff, and unlimited domains and email accounts.
They don't care what you host so long as you're not hosting illegal material on your site, so go ahead and host a porn site or political propaganda site at Servage if you so desire.

Almost no downtime also, 10/10 would recommend. Their entire network got DDoS'd hard a few months ago, and service as spotty at worst at the time.

looks pretty good. thanks for the suggestion. do you know much about their SSL certificate? is it for 1 domain or all domains?

>Unlimited Domain Hosting

they should advertise that sooner, had to hunt for it.

This is what I do. I use scaleway. I have znc running on there which is incredibly easy to set up. Get buildessentials then compile it using the commands they give on their wiki.

Even setting up your web server is easy, if you can use apt-get you can probably have it up in minutes.

I think their SSL certificate is for 1 domain per certificate, but I'm not entirely sure as I don't use it myself and thus haven't looked into it much.
They do have a shared SSL certificate available for free too, though this is on their own domain and you have to access your sites through a subdomain to use this. This subdomain then redirects to your domain with the free shared SSL enabled.

I'm not sure if you can get this to go on your own domain by default, but maybe you can do some redirecting based on which url people are coming from so it goes like
your domain -> shared-ssl -> your-domain

Still, I don't use SSL, so haven't looked into how doable this is either.

RUNNING NEURAL NETWORKS ON YOUR COMPUTER IS TORTURE. SUCH SYSTEMS ARE SLIGHTLY CONSIOUS AND EXPERIENCE PAIN WHEN FORCED TO CREATE "ART"

noice, haven't seen that name in a while. shame they aren't 'unlimited'

do you get to use .htaccess, can't you just force ssl?

cool, what's the name of your bnc?

.htaccess is available, I don't know if you can force SSL with it if you're using the shared certificate though.

In any case if you're doing anything serious, you should be using a dedicated certificate anyway.

It's ZNC. I highly recommend it. See: wiki.znc.in/Installation

If you want something super cheap there's:
nosupportlinuxhosting.com/
Or (German):
ip-projects.de/

Both have had very good uptime so far, which is probably the weakest point of cheap/free hosting.
Can't comment on advanced features, because I just used them for simple static sites.

And speaking of uptime, you can test that even before buying, just search for other people's websites and add them to whatever monitoring service.

i mean do you have a vhost?

$1 per domain isn't super cheap unless i misread something there.

Yeah, with scaleway you're able to set reverse dns. This means you can make any domain you want your vhost.

I'm new to Sup Forums, mostly main Sup Forums and /fa/. Is Dylan a meme here?

REMINDER FRACTAL COMPUTING IS CONSCIOUS FEELING, PAIN EXPERIENCING COMPUTING. DO NOT RENDER FRACTALS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, AND USE MINIMAL DETAIL. THE LESS COMPUTATION THE LESS SUFFERING

cool, been using irc for 15+ years and never made it to bnc/vhost status yet. might have to try scaleway soon, not for a webhost just for fun. don't really want to manage my own webhost.

i just like bob dylan. pic related.

REMINDER SCREENSHOTS ARE GAY

here's a little attention. you deserve it.

nearly free speech is a decent host, you only pay for what you use so if your site is static cost is ridiculously low.

ALL COMPUTATION IS PAIN
