If you are just starting out Heroku is ok to get going but I would not recommend them for anything that would get any sort of traffic at all.

Vultr wins on global regions. Linode wins on support quality. DO wins on documentation and ecosystem. But none of them answer the real 2026

Having run similar setups, dedicated and Linode. I like Linode because it's much easier to scale. Sometimes my websites get a ton of traffic and

console.hetzner.com is down. Why is there no official statement? This is seriously bad. I am pushing for hetzner services in our company.

I've been with Hetzner for over 15 years and haven't had any significant downtime. Yes, a server that broke down - but nothing from a

Recently I've started encountering issues in my hetzner-hosted game where the server would lag out and then restart itself after some time. I believe this

I hoped this would translate to cloud services as well, but it turns out (not surprisingly in hindsight) that offering a fully managed service is something completely different than cheap and easily administered server. I've been surprised and frustrated by the S3 issues we've encountered since the

No problems here, both virtual and bare metal servers are running just fine. Like someone else said you were probably hacked.

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.

All in all, they've been okay. My sites have been up and I've had few issues with the hosting itself. Softaculous is (just) okay. To my

It is never under any circumstance and I do mean never ever a smart choice to host with them. If you ee a domain for $1.50 for the 1st year,

Namecheap is definitely easy to use, but their hosting is a bit basic for those who need more control or customization.

You can transfer out you just can't use external nameservers while your domain is at Cloudflare Registrar, you're locked into Cloudflare DNS

1) On-board your domain to Cloudflare · 2) Cloudflare copies existing DNS settings · 3) Change the DNS servers at your existing registrar to use

Yeah, it can. Cloudflare's DNS is usually faster to resolve than a lot of default registrars, and you also get extras like built‑in caching,

Change the name servers to Cloudflare only after verifying that all the existing DNS records were detected and recreated, especially the email

We've used Cloudflare for a few years and the services are fine, but support has been rough. Delays, unresolved tickets, etc.

The bigger difference between Cloudflare and Quad9 isn't speed — it's policy. Quad9 does DNS-level malware blocking, which can be a meaningful

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.
