Hostinger does not allow migration of Website Builder sites between accounts. So you cannot export/import the site. The safest solution is:.

Both work really well. Cloudflare has a free tier so I would highly recommend checking it out. But cloudfront makes multi origin path based routing really easy

I'm really satisfied with the performance and pricing. Support has been responsive when needed, and the reliability has been solid.

I think is a problem with an upstream provider to Hetzner? Basically my servers can't reach my CDN (api.bunny.net), nor a bunch of other sites on the internet.

The problem with hetzner, or any point solution, is that at some point you will saturate your bandwidth - either on the network or storage side. Maybe it's

Just ask the Hetzner support directly. Either over the phone or via Ticket support. They can look at your hosting and see whats wrong. My Guess:

Dreamhost is a decent web hosting provider but in total I think it's pretty average. Imo, Cloudways is definitely better and why I consider it the best.

There are always bound to be a few negative comments, but Dreamhost is still the best in my book. Great staff, great company, great service.

Avoid Dreamhost at all costs. After 20 years they've started adding random subscriptions and feed. Customer service is non-existent.

Cloudways is different, but not hard to figure out. The migration tool is very good, use that to move your site and you'll be done in no time.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Social Noise?

Social Noise is our real-time feed of what people are publicly saying about web hosting companies across X (Twitter), Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, and other social platforms. We surface genuine user opinions, the good, the bad, and the ugly, so you can see unfiltered feedback before choosing a host.

How do you collect these mentions?

We use automated search tools to monitor social media platforms for posts mentioning hosting companies in our directory. Each mention is classified by sentiment (good, bad, or mixed) and linked back to the original post and the host's profile on Hostlist.

How is sentiment determined?

Each mention is read for its overall meaning, not just for negative or positive keywords, and classified as Good (a positive experience or recommendation, even one that mentions a past problem but concludes satisfied), Bad (a genuine complaint or negative experience), or Mixed/Ugly (a nuanced take with real pros and cons). Posts from a host's own account, and promotional or affiliate copy, are excluded entirely rather than scored.

How often is Social Noise updated?

Social Noise is refreshed daily. We scan for new mentions across all monitored platforms every 24 hours and add them to the feed. The page itself revalidates every 2 minutes to show the latest data.

Can I filter by platform or sentiment?

Yes. Use the filter pills at the top to narrow by platform (X, Instagram, TikTok, Other) or sentiment (Good, Bad, Mixed). Filters can be combined to see, for example, only negative mentions on X.
