Web Hosting

My web hosting company can't explain this.

My website is old school static, just HTML, CSS and js files. Nothing fancy.

No VPN, it loads fine. With VPN (various, but in my case Mullvad) it won't load. I get this screenshot. All other sites load fine with that vpn!

Can anyone recommend decent UK hosting, VPS. 2 GB RAM, single core will be fine 30+GB storage, and PCI-DSS compliant for future business needs. Free backups would be a bonus!

I need to host about 30 Gb of video, light traffic, but may need to upgrade in a year if things go well.

Self hosting isn't really an option. I don't want to deal with the security issues of keeping the hosted stuff separate from my home network.

I'd rather avoid AWS/Google, etc and give my money to a smaller company instead even if its a couple of bucks extra.

I'm also looking for a .family domain if anyone knows some good registrars.

It's been about 20 years since I've hosted a website, and the only thing I can remember is don't use GoDaddy.

I recently purchased a domain for myself as a why-the-fuck-not purchase and I need some ideas for what to put on there. Some ideas so far include: Small Blog Personal S/FTP server to sync back to Minecraft server

Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks :)

I'm considering creating another personal website, but for more formal things like writing articles and programming updates, as opposed to the usual blog stuff I have on my Neocities site. It'll also have a simpler design, optimised more for reading than having a fun appearance.

Unless the generic domain is particularly nice, I'll buy a domain from Namecheap; but Neocities requires a subscription in order to use a custom domain, so does anyone have any suggestions for cheap or free web hosting that I could use?

Any recommendations for a trust worthy and reliable domain registrar?

Is this a growing product market? Will this lower the barrier to entry for less technical communities, much like the wave of turn-key WordPress hosting solutions did for the general public starting in the mid 2000s?

Looks like there are instance options for Mastodon, Lemmy, but not yet Kbin:

• https://elest.io/open-source/mastodon
• https://elest.io/open-source/lemmy
• ?

Does anyone know of similar competitors to Elestio in this sub-market?

New post in web hosting to get things going.
