Virtual Private Server (VPS) / Re: VPS with Root Access for Custom Software?

« on: June 17, 2025, 02:28:42 PM »

Never personally used ShiftHosting, but from what I’ve seen floating around - they claim to offer full root, CentOS, and decent resources. Whether they deliver consistently? Hard to say. Like with any VPS play - start small, test the node, and see how support responds when you ask for something weird.

Setup help? Depends on the host. Some offer basic hand-holding, others drop you in the deep end. If you need actual assistance, either pay for a managed plan.

Dedicated Server & Managed Hosting / Re: Game Server Hosting Required

« on: June 09, 2025, 10:29:44 AM »

Haven’t personally used Shieldeum.net, so I won’t pretend to vouch for ‘em. Web3 dedicated servers sound cool on paper, but unless you know exactly how their stack runs, it might be a roll of the dice.

If you're looking for something solid and straightforward with low ping and no crypto-bs overload, check out https://vps.one/en-gb/vps-game-hosting. I’ve run a few game boxes there — zero headaches, full KVM, and servers in NL/Slovakia so EU/US pings stay tight.

Not saying it’s the only option, but if you want something that just works without the hype - worth a test spin 👍

Hey, never used Trunkspacehosting myself, but when picking a game server host, it's usually best to check recent reviews and see what others say about uptime and support. If you're open to trying different options, some go for well-known names or VPS plans that let you set up your own server - gives more freedom.

Start small, read the fine print, and take it from there. Good luck! 😊

Virtual Private Server (VPS) / Re: VPS which is great for hosting a blog ...

« on: May 27, 2025, 10:29:44 AM »

If you're choosing between the two, dig into user reviews (Reddit, Trustpilot) and see if people are actually happy long-term. Check how responsive their support is, what data centers they use, and whether they oversell resources.

From what I’ve seen, smaller providers can be hit or miss — great pricing up front, but sometimes shaky infrastructure or spotty uptime. If your blog matters to you, go with whoever gives clearer transparency and better real-world reliability, even if it’s slightly more expensive.

General Web Hosting / Re: Reliable VPS for a custom-built

« on: May 20, 2025, 02:05:19 PM »

I’ve come across a few providers while setting up similar environments. From what I’ve seen, their infrastructure handles high-traffic loads well, especially with optimized server locations. You can check out more details here: https://vps.one/en-gb/vps-netherlands.
As for HostPro, I haven’t used them personally, but some folks mention they’re okay for lighter workloads. You might want to compare features and see what aligns best with your traffic and security needs.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) / Re: Windows VPS for Remote Desktop?

« on: May 14, 2025, 09:05:38 AM »

Alright, straight up — for a Windows VPS running RDP, skip the sketchy cheap stuff unless you like headaches. If you go with GTHost.com or anyone else, make sure they actually give you dedicated RAM and CPU, not just a slice of shared hardware. Windows won’t run smooth otherwise.

Check that the license is legit and included, and that you get full admin access and a real public IP. Without those, RDP setup turns into a mess.

If it feels too slow or locked down, bounce. Your time’s worth more than fighting a bad host.

Colocation and Data Centers / Re: How do I check my ip?

« on: April 28, 2025, 07:56:36 AM »

Checking your IP is super easy. Just type “What is my IP” into Google, and it’ll show you the public IP address of your device right at the top of the results. If you’re looking for your local IP (the one on your network), you can check in your device’s settings — usually under Network or Wi-Fi info. On a phone or computer, it’s often labeled as “IP Address” in the network details.

General Web Hosting / Re: Need help with choosing a VPS host.

« on: April 28, 2025, 07:29:52 AM »

Your specs look like a solid starting point for most projects. As for the OS, it really depends on what you're comfortable with and what your project needs. Linux (like Ubuntu or CentOS) is usually the go-to for its flexibility and cost-effectiveness, but if you’re running Windows-specific apps, go with that — just keep in mind it’s pricier. Regarding GTHost.com, I haven’t heard much about them personally, so I’d recommend checking reviews on trusted platforms like Trustpilot or Reddit to gauge reliability before committing. One last tip: if you’re unsure about bandwidth or IPs, monitor your usage after launch — you might find you need more or less than you initially thought.

General Web Hosting / Re: VPS or Managed WordPress solutions?

« on: April 24, 2025, 04:24:03 PM »

For your situation, it really depends on how hands-on you want to be. A VPS gives you more control and flexibility, but it also means you’ll need to manage things like server setup, security, updates, and performance optimization yourself (or with support). If you’re comfortable troubleshooting and maintaining a server — or willing to learn — a VPS with good support could work well within your budget.
On the other hand, Managed WordPress hosting is designed specifically for WordPress sites, so it takes care of all the backend stuff for you — security, backups, updates, and optimizations. This can save you time and headaches, especially if you’re running multiple sites.
If you want simplicity and peace of mind, lean toward Managed WordPress. If you prefer control and don’t mind the extra effort, a VPS could be a great fit.

General Web Hosting / Re: Can you recommend a good SEO plugin for your website?

« on: April 22, 2025, 08:31:59 AM »

For WordPress, Yoast SEO is a classic choice — super easy to use and great for beginners. But if you want more advanced features without paying, Rank Math is a solid alternative with a cleaner interface and tons of free tools. Both get the job done well.

If you’re not on WordPress, All in One SEO Pack works for some platforms, or you can handle things manually with tools like Google Search Console for tracking and Schema.org for structured data.

The key is consistency — no plugin will magically fix everything. Focus on quality content and proper optimization, and the plugin will just support that effort.
