Same for Nexcess. Support quality dropped a lot and last year we had more issues than in the last 5 years before.

Downtime doesn't wait, and neither should your infrastructure.

Yup. I was with them for over a decade. Support went down the drain 5 years go and sites were slowing down by the day.

My question is, have you migrated your self-hosted to another platform (or even your own server), and if so, do you have a how-to or a step-by-step that you'd

Moving to a cheaper provider cuts costs but leaves all the server management work in place. You are still doing the same ops tasks on different

It's why DigitalOcean sells things like load balancers and managed databases. DigitalOcean is ultimately not responsible for the uptime/downtime

For "downtime" you do the same thing with metal, as you do with digital ocean, just get a second server and have them failover. You can run

I had 48 hours of downtime on a DigitalOcean node last week. All events on the node was stalled so I could not boot down or take an image to spin up a new

If you host some components at DigitalOcean, especially in the NYC3 region, you might be in for some downtime. It was especially confusing for

I'm thinking about transferring these domain names from Godaddy to another registrar, and I've been looking at a few options like Spaceship.com,

When I moved from godaddy to namecheap about 6 months ago: Godaddy erased the DNS list before namecheap to copy it. I had to rebuild from

What would be the most seamless transition method away from Godaddy? I am mostly concerned about emails. I think keeping Office 365 for each address would be

You can certainly transfer the domain registration to any registrar of your choice; any remaining time on the domain registration will be retained on transfer.

Yes, move away from GoDaddy. Go with SiteGround, Cloudways, Namecheap are all pretty decent. GreenGeeks is pretty good as you'll get decent hosting for around

So I've been using GoDaddy for a while now, and recently after placing ads on my site, the speed has turned to crap. My renewal for GoDaddy is

I have had a few incidents where my clients took hosting from GoDaddy. It hasn't been a pleasant experience talking to their customer

I've never experienced any problems with any of the sites, emails sent via the server through registration forms and the like go out promptly,

It sounds like you need to go into the database itself and change the url's that are set to the dreamhosters.com domain. It's pretty simple.

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.
