Update: I changed my DNS resolver and it solved the problem. I just changed it to 8.8.8.8.

That's how I used to host my static sites but then I switched to Netlify because the UX for me as developer was just so much nicer. Maybe
I prefer Vercel much more over Netlify. It is faster, easy to setup and easy to work with. Especially if your projects are React, serverless, or
Netlify trapped me in their new credit system, can't revert, can't upgrade due to a bug, and my whole account is paused. This is a product trust
I just switched to Netlify from GitHub Pages a little under two weeks ago. The process of setting up DNS and switching everything over was
I moved my site from Netlify to Cloudflare Pages. Netlify support confirmed they removed the domain from their system. DNS is fully propagated

May 27, 2025 - Overall, Vultr seems to be a strong option for experienced developers who are comfortable managing their own infrastructure and are looking for cost-effective VPS solutions . However, for businesses or teams that require responsive human support,

Awful service from their billing team. The support team is great - but wow the billing team is absolutely awful. They don't know I have several
Easy, great quality and good performance. It's all you need from a managed hosting provider. Kinsta has it all plus the best customer support team I've ever
I keep hearing Kinsta offers excellent performance, great support, and robust features, but I want to make sure I'm not just falling for the marketing hype.
Yeah - I had ICDSoft back in the day. Switched from them to SiteGround but it looks like they have a lot more scalable services now.
Our web developer is hosting our site through siteground which is fine but he mentioned that when we take full management of the website we may
The host my developer uses seems slow, only 100Mbps, vs 1Gbps or the 10Gbps for Siteground. I've been with SG for about 4 years, recently
I wanted to know if anyone has switched from SiteGround to another host that has more hosting space but just as much site security and help/

September 22, 2020 - I highly recommend trying to skip over Cloudflare and repoint your DNS directly to your server to see if it’s a Cloudflare issue or check if your htaccess file somehow got altered. Those are the main issues I usually have. I’m very very happy with SiteGround and have experienced

You can however swap hosting providers at any time. Many providers offer free migration services, if you're not familiar with how to do so
If you're looking to move away from InterServer, I'd recommend either Shock Hosting or Hostinger. I've had a good experience with both

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.
