SOCIAL NOISE

I moved one of my servers over to test things out before migrating ... I'm considering moving my small static web hosting to Interserver (in a few months).

If you have a WordPress site - avoid them like the bubonic plague. Constant downtime or incredibly slow load times. The customer service and tech help is token

Dreamhost had 0 downtime in the last 7 days, where Bluehost had 5h 31m across 244 different incidents. My full article is here:

This redditor said their sites have been down for 5+ days - another redditor said their VPS has been down for over a week.

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. Additionally,

The website has had intermittent downtime until about 12 hours ago, when the website and VPS fully went down. I can't interact with the VPS even

Bluehost is decent if you specifically want traditional cPanel, but for overall value, ease of use, and global server locations, Hostinger wins

Even before I started at Linode, I thought it was terrible. It's extremely, unreasonably pricey. The UI is terrible. Their offerings are availble elsewhere.

I have been trying out Linode for just 2 days and I find both the user interface and the documentation is excellent. I would say $12 per month

Before pointing fingers, it's important to determine why the server won't boot. Filesystem corruption could happen with an emergency maintenance

Linode seems unreachable too (and related hosted VPS). Is it my problem or is it a general failure on Linode? mproud on June 21, 2022 [–].

I had so many problems with Linode. The company itself seems really poorly structured, too. Do you consider this when you're talking about value? I know

Hours went by with no movement. After waiting all night and into yesterday morning, I reached out to ScalaHosting with a few questions about making the switch.

I am in the process of moving all my sites to DreamCompute (it could be better) because I cannot run what I need in standard hosting. Keeping

Hi r/webhosting I'm looking at moving away from dreamhost (Basic VPS plan) as I don't think it's a great fit for me now (the AI stuff is

I stayed hosted with them, but moved my domain registrations to Google Domains (which just sold its domain registry business to Squarespace).

Hi all! My web hosting knowledge is very limited, but was hoping to get some pointers on how to move a full domain/site from one DreamHost

It could be something as simple as the DNS records haven't fully propagated around the world yet. Or there could be an error in the DNS or new

I've been hosting many sites with DreamHost for nearly 15 years. All of them are low traffic sites based on WordPress and they've been fine even on shared

Extremely frustrating experience with DreamHost. I signed up for Google Workspace through them, used it for less than a week, and then things went downhill fast

I've just noticed and seen good things about DreamHost's Shared Unlimited hosting. Has anyone got any experience with DreamHost hosting?

I made the request within IONOS' "transfer a domain to IONOS" and it just won't play ball, I get the following message: "Your desired domains cannot be

It makes sense to me that they won't allow moving a domain from one account to another because is a security concern. My question is why you

IONOS is currently migrating all existing VPS instances from VMWare to QEMU. Two of my instances have already been migrated, but the process was not all that

I've transferred all of mine to Cloudflare. No issues whatsoever and considerably cheaper. I too was on ionos and moved because of their dnssec

Finally completed moving the last two domains, hosting and email we had with Ionos, which was 1&1 back when the org started with them in

I dropped an email about the issue to customer support, Let's see if I get any reply.

I just had 2 sites go down and the support chat doesn't work. The support phone number just hangs up. Not sure if anyone else is having an

Something so large could be power problem, or perhaps problem with core routers taking the network down. Any ones guess, but these generally are

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.
