Reddit · r/squarespace · yesterday
Moved their domains over after the Squarespace acquisition and found the transfer simple: request it, wait out the lock, then follow the instructions.
Reddit · r/fastmail · yesterday
After reporting several bugs, the replies showed no grasp of the problem and then communication stopped.
Reddit · r/fastmail · yesterday
Every contact with support has been outstanding in quality and reliability, with a sense of being taken seriously.
Reddit · r/hetzner · yesterday
Moved from the old GoDaddy-owned hosts to Hetzner and netcup, with no surprises, rarely needed support, and netcup usually a bit cheaper.
Reddit · r/VPS · yesterday
Two months into an RS 8000 root server, tickets take days and end in unexplained one-line closures, with repeated downtime from the network, so they plan to move away. The provider is inferred from the RS 8000 plan name and the Austria network mention.

After about four years on the host, the swap from SiteLock to the host's own AI protection meant malware was found twice without any notification or cleanup for a small business site.
Reddit · r/webhosting · yesterday
About 20 WordPress sites kept crashing on shared plans, and the move to a managed VPS on the host's advice made things worse, so they are leaving.
Reddit · r/webhosting · yesterday
Runs large side projects on WP Engine base plan at a fixed monthly price.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 2 days ago
Moved hosting from Azure web apps to Linux on Hetzner with Cloudflare edge caching and cut the monthly cost dramatically.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 2 days ago
Recently moved their custom-domain email to Fastmail and loves it; Squarespace price rises prompted looking at hosting.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 2 days ago
Was charged for a domain they never ordered; GoDaddy said a staff member with account access made the purchase and gave no clear explanation of how.
Reddit · r/Hosting · 2 days ago
Has used GoDaddy for over 12 years and feels it declined; contact-form emails stopped reaching their inbox and GoDaddy branding is on their emails.
Reddit · r/squarespace · 2 days ago
Found it frustrating that a client's whole Squarespace site could not be reassigned to a new subscription, forcing a manual rebuild, and now leans toward Framer for clients.
Reddit · r/Hosting · 2 days ago
Finds Contabo good value and flexible for both site and email hosting.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 2 days ago
After years on a shared plan, renewal hikes put their bill at about $20.63 a month, above the $17.95 list price, so they feel overcharged and are shopping around.
Reddit · r/VPS · 3 days ago
Runs KVM 2 plans and advises paying monthly, since one plan kept its old price while another jumped sharply on the next bill. Cancelling anytime is a plus for them.
Reddit · r/VPS · 3 days ago
Finds Contabo low quality, with roughly 30 percent CPU steal that forces buying more vCPUs than needed.
Reddit · r/VPS · 3 days ago
Uses RackNerd and checked their plan: about a year for a modest price with 2 cores, 3.5GB RAM, a 65GB drive and plenty of bandwidth, seen as roughly on par in price with a pricier Hostinger plan.
Reddit · r/VPS · 3 days ago
Uses Hostinger for website hosting and says it has always been pretty good.
Reddit · r/hetzner · 3 days ago
Moved servers from Hetzner to Scaleway after Hetzner raised prices by more than other cloud providers.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 3 days ago
Waited about 12 hours on the trial, then paid for two years; likes the clean interface, fast site and app, and runs aliases and a custom domain.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 3 days ago
Came over from Proton, tried mailbox.org, and returned to Fastmail; found support great when needed.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 3 days ago
On the Fastmail trial after leaving Proton; so far finds few limitations, works with their own domain and masked emails, and likes the clean UI.
Reddit · r/Hosting · 3 days ago
Used a series of Liquid Web dedicated servers for 18 years and is moving on, citing outdated hardware, cPanel price rises and doing more maintenance with an AI assistant than with their support.
Reddit · r/Hosting · 3 days ago
Ran a web app on Vercel and liked the easy GitHub deploys and dashboard, but worried about the bill when junk traffic hit usage-based pricing, and later moved to a rented VPS.
Reddit · r/Hosting · 3 days ago
Has run several projects for months on an OVH 4 CPU, 8GB VPS with no problems and previously had good experience with Hetzner.
Reddit · r/VPS · 3 days ago
Bought an IPv6-only netcup VPS two months ago and enjoyed the low price with Cloudflare proxying, until a service needing IPv4 whitelisting caught them out.
Reddit · r/Infomaniak · 3 days ago
Support couldn't accommodate a custom webmail subdomain, leaving users confused by the mismatched login domain.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 4 days ago
Opened tickets about mail providers not receiving their custom domain emails and a billing issue; nine days later neither was resolved, and authenticated mail was still landing in spam.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 5 days ago
Has run a VPS on Leaseweb infrastructure through a reseller and reports no problems with it.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 5 days ago
Has been a Leaseweb customer since 2019. Finds it never the cheapest but consistently better on support response and assistance, which matters for their business.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 5 days ago
Says Leaseweb is raising prices and that support is poor, and is migrating away from it.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 5 days ago
Hosts with both Linode and Hetzner. Finds Hetzner cloud locations often full, so adding new servers can take months, and notes Hetzner has begun raising prices.
Reddit · r/hetzner · 5 days ago
Hit a ghost keyboard input problem installing an OS through Hetzner's KVM on a dedicated server. Support swapped the KVM, which partly fixed it, though a USB image error remained and they finished the install another way.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 6 days ago
A couple of years on Proton and it has been fine.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 6 days ago
Very happy with Fastmail, with many domains to choose from and masked email used often.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 7 days ago
Moved from Proton and Tuta to mailbox.org with a custom domain; fine for years apart from clunky interfaces.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 7 days ago
Left Tuta for mailbox.org and likes it, with third-party app support and a custom domain.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 7 days ago
Four years on mailbox.org without issues, but support could not fix downgrade errors over three weeks.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 7 days ago
Found Tuta support extremely bad: overcharged, a support post unapproved, and three days for an answer, so they deleted the account.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 7 days ago
Tuta blocked two paid accounts and one free account, and their card could not be used on a new account without emailing support.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 7 days ago
Uses mailbox.org with a custom domain; does not love the interface and has heard of sent mail landing in spam, but incoming mail is fine.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 7 days ago
Has been a Fastmail customer for about five years and is very satisfied overall, praising its support documentation and noting it was easy to reach support the three times they needed it, while not always agreeing with its decisions.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 7 days ago
Has used DigitalOcean for years, finds it very reliable and has never needed to contact support because it has always just worked.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 7 days ago
Picked Zoho over Fastmail for a first custom domain because it was cheaper and after two years has no reason to move.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 7 days ago
A couple of years on Tuta; works great apart from a weak spam filter.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 7 days ago
Enjoys Tuta though the UI is disliked by some and third-party clients are unsupported.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 7 days ago
Set up Fastmail on a new domain over a weekend; easy and everything works great.
Reddit · r/emailprivacy · 8 days ago
They used the basic plan with their own domain and it worked flawlessly, with quota warnings only when forwarding and moving many mails; they call it cheap and good.
Reddit · r/laravel · 8 days ago
They could not provision servers or deploy client sites for hours during the incident. They patched PHP manually over SSH, and Forge's published instructions were incorrect.
Reddit · r/selfhosted · 8 days ago
They run their 8-person agency's tooling on 2 cheap VPS managed through Coolify and call it one of their favourite tools, handling deployments and infrastructure. They have also moved client workloads from AWS and Vercel to it.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 8 days ago
Has been with Hosting.com for about five years on a reseller plan and is leaving after three price increases in a single year, the plan renaming and going from $39.60 to $48.60 a month. Says he was not told the amounts in advance and found out only when charged; he cancelled and is moving elsewhere.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 8 days ago
Is moving a 100-site plan away from Nexcess after a year of decline: the price rose from $638 to $849 a month with no added benefits, PHP patching took over a day with little communication, and the included CDN and automatic updates did not work reliably. Says the speeds are still great but would not recommend it.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 8 days ago
Has used Fastmail with their own domains for about 15 months. Finds the support very good and human, and likes the configurability even though the many settings felt overwhelming at first, plus the detailed headers, boolean search and subdomain aliasing.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 8 days ago
Has used Fastmail for several months and likes the 1Password masked email integration. Says the apps just work, has no complaints and considers it great value for the money.
Reddit · r/webflow · 8 days ago
Moved a marketing site off a roughly $12k a year Webflow Enterprise plan to Astro on Cloudflare for about $5 a month.
Reddit · r/emailprivacy · 9 days ago
They have used Migadu for 3 years on the Micro plan with two domains, called it their best choice, had only two issues that were solved quickly, and never hit daily limits.
Reddit · r/laravel · 9 days ago
They found the Forge control panel completely unavailable during the PHP patch incident, not just slow as the post-mortem described.
Reddit · r/Wordpress · 9 days ago
They were charged $480 for a new site, could not edit it until buying a $520 plan, and now can only reach an AI support agent despite 24/7 support claims.
Reddit · r/degoogle · 9 days ago
Used Fastmail a couple of years before Proton and found it good, but now seems pricier.
Reddit · r/fastmail · 9 days ago
Used Proton Mail with SimpleLogin for two years before switching to Fastmail. Found the domain transfer smooth and simple, and has zero complaints about the web, desktop or Android apps so far.
Reddit · r/webflow · 9 days ago
Agency paid Webflow about $9k a year and replaced it with a self-hosted stack costing about $25 a month.
Reddit · r/webflow · 9 days ago

Reddit · r/webflow · 9 days ago

Reddit · r/webflow · 9 days ago
Moving away from Webflow as it is too limiting for ecommerce and nobody in house wants to use it.
Reddit · r/webflow · 9 days ago
Agency developer no longer recommends Webflow and is moving budget clients away due to high small-site hosting costs.
Reddit · r/webhosting · 9 days ago
Has a dedicated server with Liquid Web bought in 2024 and was told it would rise about 51% on 17 days notice. The old price can only be kept by paying twelve months up front, which they find hard to afford as a self-employed customer.
