Looking for hosting for small browser game site

Ive been a customer of KnownHost for over 5 years. As my sites have been growing Ive used several of their different managed VPS and dedicated servers throughout the years. This has given me great insight both into their hardware performance and the customer support for the managed services they provide.

As most website owners know there are the occasional days which are nothing but headaches. Slow loading and watching as traffic drops. Its not fun at the moment but its part of the game. The most recent event was today and that gave me this reminder to take some time out of my day to write this review.

KnownHost is one of the best hosting providers out there which truly look after their customers. Today, as many times previously, they went far and beyond to resolve the issues with my dedicated server and helped boost the performance on my site significantly.

As someone who is not a developer it is truly a great feeling to know that a response from KnownHosts support staff is never but a few minutes away. This might sound too much like a 90s TV commercial, but I cant praise them enough! 5 years and they are still as good as back then (or maybe even better actually).

I highly recommend KnownHost to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy hosting provider with many years of experience in the space and who always puts their customers first.

Thank you KnownHost for being awesome! I will keep on recommending you.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a new server for my web hosting company and really interested in Vultr HF 12cores CPU vs Vultr Bare Metal 8cores/16 threads @3.7GHZ.

I have always used their VPS and have been happy with it so far, from RAM/ storage + internet speed pov, it seems Vultr Bare metal provides better value compared to their HF lineup.

Would 8 cores dedicated CPU outperformance a 12 cores vcpu? for web hosting? Assuming both hosting the same amount/ type of wordpress site?

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks everyone.

I have been hosting my sites on my current hosting company for 7 years. TBH, I am happy with them most of the time.

Since they were sold to another company, the tech support is getting worse. Each time it takes a long time for them to figure out what's going on. They always said the problem is on my side. But it turns out all the issues I complained locate on the server side. I had enough with those offshore tech support.

The second thing is: on my current plan, the server blocked a lot of proxy/Tor access, maybe for anti-spamming or whatever. And host-tacker shows some "HostNotFound" results, which I have not seen it from my friend's sites (we both run the same type of sites). So I lost some traffic as well.

That's why I am thinking to move my sites out.

My site is not big. Currently, I have 2500-3000 unique visits/day, and bandwidth/m is about 700 GB. I am thinking to try a dedicated server plan this time. Then I will have the faster page loading speed, which means better SEO, I guess? Hopefully I can get more traffic and more visits. And I won't get bothered by bad neighbors any more.

I checked a few dedicated plans, can you tell me what these mean? esp WAN uplink and LAN Uplink? Should it be included in total bandwidth?

1,000 Megabit WAN Uplink
1,000 Megabit LAN Uplink
25,000 GB Included Transfer

I read some articles about Dedicated IP vs Shared IP. It seems Dedicated IP is better than Shared IP. But for a small site like mine, do I really need a dedicated server?

I am thinking of mojohost as some friends recommend them. Do they have a coupon or I can negotiate with them for a discount?

Any advises are appreciated.

Hello,

I don't know if its right category to ask such question, please pardon me if i am at wrong place.

We want to host site on https://vsys.host as per their claim on DMCA free hosting. I didn't find much reviews about this Hosting provider so wanted to ask if this provider is legitmate and should i pay them to rent the dedicated server?

Regards.

We have been with HyperFilter for about 10 months now.
We host a game which makes use of both TCP/UDP and heard good reviews about HyperFilter and their protection, which is why we decided to go and get a server at them.

They are fairly priced compared to their competitors such as KoDDoS, DDoS-Guard, Voxility, etc.

The moment we moved to them, we haven't had any problems until a few days ago when we were receiving a continues UDP DDoS flood which took down the (game) server.
After discussing with the host, they provided a solution that has been working excellent so far. If you know what your traffic looks like, they can adjust the firewall rules in order to lower the impact on your server, which is not something that many other hosts provide. Their support is top-notch and extremely fast as well.

Overall, I rate HyperFilter a 9/10. I would definitely recommend HyperFilter to anyone who is hosting a game and has DDoS problems.

Im needing to migrate content from our site, like OnlyFans, from Wasabi.
We allow content creators sell their content via subscriptions to their posts.
We allow content creators of all types as long as its legal.
Financial Advisors, Gamers, Artists, Photographers, Programmers and whoever else wants to sell access to their owned, created digital content.
However, some of our content creators are amateur models who post nudes.
They make up about 16% of our content creators as on June, 2021 and its growing.
It all falls within the laws and is heavily moderated plus multiple reporting options.

Needs\Wants:
I'm looking for a scalable hosting solution that allows legal porngraphic content. I would like to start out with 2TB-4TB of SATA disk space but be able to scale up\add more as needed. Content migration is expected to take 6-8 months. After full migration is complete, it will be over 20TB. Looking to pay around $30-$50\month for the 2TB\4TB plan to start off with but would also need a quote on the 20TB plan when migration is complete. A 30-day trial would be a big plus. It will give us time to migrate our web app plus a little content to test performance. I can put down some $$ if needed though.

I'm currently considering:

Hi to everyone!

I just registered to ask if someone could recommend a cheap hosting plan for a medium-small e-commerce site.
It runs with wordpress + woocommerce and should be fast loading due to the new google requirements. Currently it is hosted along with other projects on a small plan, which - as you can definitely guess - runs still on HDD and no SSD.
To me it seems quite slow in speed performance. But please let me know what you think. I only have experience with blogs and no e-commerce sites. All blogs I was involved on were very easy to handle and easy to speed optimize. I think woo is quite ressource hungy and speed consuming... To be honest this is quite challenging for me due to lack of experience. I mean we decided to use as basis the Storefront theme (the default theme for woo) to have the smalles impact to loading times, but still the performance is bad.

I am thinking to go for a new hosting because:
- ttfb is really bad: 1.423 in London
- no SSD installed
- no Mysql8 db

I am not sure, but I think the hosting is located in Germany/Italy. The TTFB should be at least under 1 sec.
Another issue I found is it is loading a bit slower for products, then for the startpage, but anyhow. I hope you guys could recommend me a really fast hosting plan.
Currently the store has low traffic, means <100 visits per month and it got about 300 products (posts).

Waiting for your great recs

PS: With Siteground I already got very bad experiences on other projects. Would be amazing if you could rec me others than that

Hello, a little introduction on what we are working on.

We are launching a B2B fully white labeled hosting reseller platform, making it possible for resellers to resell all hosting services for free without having to pay before they are able to resell on their custom website. How it works?


We working on over 20 templates for the launch next Month so you just registers and select a template, point a domain, modify costs and the reseller site is ready. No need for WHMCS, we are building a replica from scratch and it's even simpler and more user friendly for all end users to use in managing their domains and hosting (fully automated).
So this is like an advance Affiliate system, or you can call it hosting drop-shipping or any name you wish. Lots of work, funds and several other resources have been invested into this already and with all things being equal we are going to be able to fit into this very Competitive Market.


WHAT WE WANT, AND WHY THIS THREAD WAS CREATED.
We have invested a lot already for the development and we just want to partner with existing datacenter owners in several locations. We are looking for the best, affordable and reliable dedicated servers out there where we can sign an agreement with these Companies. As a startup we want to focus on managing the application, Marketing the products and providing support while we partner with data center owners.

Between the first 3 Months after launch we are expecting between 5,000 to 15,000 active Resellers since it's pretty easy to setup and modify the pre-built site, so at a rough estimate, we are expecting between 200 - 500 active dedicated servers to be ordered all things being equal with our Marketing budget and skills. So we really hope if we can get <<recommendations>> here.

Thanks

Not sure if this is the right category.. I want to know what makes a server speedy. My issue is, I tried about 6 servers the last 6 months.

Reseller Hostmantis (5$ a month)
VPS cloudcone 10 core 16 GB ram (50$) a month + cpanel (15$) + litespeed (30$) a month
VPS from a dutch guy, 8 core, 16GB ram, directadmin (70 a month)
Cloudcone VPS: 10 cores, 60GB ram, Cpanel + litespeed = like 70 a month).
Wpprovider (claims to have to fastest dutch hosting): 25,- a month.
Neostrada magento hosting (6 core, 8GB ram, cpanel = 20,- a month)

Believe it or not, but the freaking 5$ per month SHARED (!!!!) RESELLER (!!!!!) is the fastest of them all. And I really don't understand how that is possible. Is there anybody who can explain to me what makes a server fast? First I thought it was litespeed, so i bought a litespeed license for by VPS'ses. Then I thought it was the lack of RAM, so i went to Contabo with 60 freaking GB of ram WITH litespeed. And even that is slower if I 1:1 compare it with a 100% duplicated site on that Hostmantis reseller package...

Then a guy from Asia who tried to improve the pagespeed for a webshop copied the site to his dedicated server and the results were INSANELY fast. I asked him his config and he said:

2 X Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650
32 Cores
64 GB ram
2 X SSD Drive

He said he didn't had Litespeed, only Memcache installed.

Is there anybody who can tell me what makes a server fast? Is it the RAM? the CPU? The managing? The location? The LITEspeed/Memcached/Redis? And when does it make sense to get a Dedicated server instead of a VPS?

About me: As side job I build websites. Most of them very easy, 3 page wordpress sites with no visitors. I host about 60. They don't really care about speed, cause they are happy if there are There are some bigger clients (3 with a woocommerce webshop, 1 with a magento webshop) for which speed IS important.

What I would like is
THE FASTEST Server possible for my amount
At least 500GB SSD storage
Managed
Backups remotely (and something like JEtbackup)
Softacalous
Cpanel + WHM (100 accounts)
Budget: Under like 180$ for all (if that is anyway possible).

I'm a small business owner and developer since 2003. We have a few dedicated servers, each one with a different host. One of these hosts was sold and the new owner wants us to use a new server in a new location. We are considering switching to another host. This server runs some important client web sites, our own site, and web apps we're developing.

What we're looking for:
- unmanaged bare metal dedicated server, Intel Xeon 4c/8t minimum, 6 or 8 core preferred
- 16GB RAM, 32GB RAM preferred
- 1TB (or 960GB) SSD, 2 x SSD software RAID preferred
- FreeBSD 11 or 12 (our other servers are FreeBSD 11.4)
- $140/month or less (we're paying $130/month now for the current server, no SSD, 16GB)
- US data center, east coast preferred

Obviously we want a decent data center and good customer support but we also want a company who is going to be around for the next 10 years and isn't likely to be bought up by some Wall Street investment firm who doesn't care about the customers of the smaller hosting firms they're purchasing.

Hosts I'm researching:
- Vultr
- OVHcloud (the US branch)
- Linode
- Hivelocity

So far, OVH seems to have the exact hardware, price point, and data center but their billing system worries me.

If you have any experience with these hosts, good or bad, please share. If you work for one of these hosts, I'm open to offers.

thanks,

Robert
