Hosting & Cloud
Shared hosting, VPS, object storage, CDNs and cloud bills.
not gonna lie this is driving me nuts strange one: on my desktop teh site is fine. On an old laptop someone lent me, every HTTPS site including mine shows this: So is my certificate broken or is the laptop broken? 😤 i genuinely cant tell anymore.
Deployed my first real project to a fresh VPS today. On the server itself, curl localhost:8443 returns my page. from my laptop, the brwoser just says: ERR CONNECTION REFUSED. i opened the port in the firewall, i think. i restarted the app twice, i'm at the…
deployed my first real project to a new container host today. on teh server itself, curl localhost:8080 returns my page. From my laptop, the browser just says: ERR CONNECTION REFUSED, i opened the port in the firewall, i think, i restarted the app twice...…
ok so say youve outgrown shared hosting because you need things like cron jobs that run longer than a few minutes, a custom runtime, or root access. the VPS route looks cheap on paper. im fine on a command line, but…
ok weird one every hosting comparison i find is either an affiliate list or someone's ten year old opinion. So i'm asking real people: is managed WordPress hosting a reasonable choice for a hobby forum? What breaks first, what costs more than expected, and…
ugh. my site has been running fine for months on Nginx + PHP FPM 😅 now it falls over every few hours at random and all visitors get this: Restarting everything brings it back, until it doesnt :) Im not a full time sysadmin, i set this up from a tutorial and…
long time lurker first post lol my site has been running fine for months on Caddy proxying to a Python API... now it falls over only during traffic spikes and all visitors get this: restarting everything brings it back, until it doesnt. im not a full time…
im literally losing my mind here i thought turning on HTTPS would be a five minute job 😤 Instead a forum install looks broken: 'Not secure' in the address bar. In the console there are messages about mixed content and an embedded video being blocked 🤷 The…
ok so client called me upset because their browser shows console errors about blocekd content on our online shop since the HTTPS switch. i checked quickly and an embedded video are requested with http:// URLs. some come from the database content, some i…
Every hosting comparison I find is either an affiliate list or someones ten year old opinion. So Im asking real people: is a PaaS with git deploys a reasonable choice for a client site with modest traffic? What breaks first, what costs more than expected,…
woke up to monitoring alerts and this lovely page on every URL: its a Docker Compose stack behind Nginx, and it seems to happen whenever someone uploads a big file... the error log mentions the upstream a lot but Im not sure if thats the cause or just a…
im literally losing my mind here getting 502 Bad Gateway right after every deploy, and its starting to cost us orders. The setup is Apache proxying to Gunicorn on a small VPS. CPU graphs look normal, disk isnt full. The proxy itself is clearly alive because…

finally moved a static portfolio to HTTPS... certificate installed, the host says its valid, teh checker says its valid... but visitors see a half styled page. i think it has to do with teh stylesheet still loading over plain http, but i have no idea where…
im literally losing my mind here this is probably obvious to someone, not to me. I moved my app to a fresh VPS and now nobody can reach it on port 8080. it worked on my old machine with the same config. the only difference I can see is the new server has a…
this is prob obvious to somenoe, not to me. i moved my app to a new container host and now nobody can reach it on port 3000. it worked on my old machine with teh same config... the only difference I can see is the new server has a different OS version and…
hmmmm ok getting 502 Bad Gateway every few hours at random, and its starting to cost us orders. The setup is Nginx in front of a Node app on a small VPS 😅 CPU graphs look normal, disk isnt full. The proxy itself is clearly alive cuz it serves teh error…
help!! every hosting comparison i find is either an affiliate list or someones ten year old opinion. So Im asking real people: is a cheap VPS a reasonable choice for an agency running 30 sites?? What breaks first, what costs more than expected, and what…
Ive been at this for hours, my cloud VM, app running, logs say its listening on port 8443, but every outside request gets refused. Theres the OS firewall, the providers network firewall, and my router (or whatever is in between), and Im not sure which one i…
