I've been playing roblox games with auto grind features that require me to constantly run my pc. Since turning my pc on all day for roblox would be wearing my pc dkwn and waste electricity, I am thinking of using dedicated servers(Not VMs, i've tried VM but turns out roblox cannot run at VMs). However I am not really knowledgeable about dedicated servers I have some questions below.

1. Did anybody try running roblox on dedicated servers? Does it work or does roblox block you from running it on dedicated servers somehow?

2. Is there any cheap dedicated server providers that provides convenient control over server(like Windows) in under $25?

3. Is wholesaleInternet's dedicated server good in terms of these?

Thanks in advance.

I want to test internet routing with a video game to see if its worth paying for microsoft azure, is there any service that provides this? Must be based in EU/UK. Not looking to enter any card details or long sign up processes just something I can use with putty or other software. I've used wtfast and exitlag in the past so I cant use those for trials.

Need to be able to host in EU but im not from EU. Ive used azure before but its not free looking for alternative.

Hello guys,
I have a Linux VPS with 24GB RAM and 200GB storage that's currently unused.

Not looking for anything that needs heavy marketing or constant maintenance - more like automation, passive income, or useful background tasks.

Any practical ideas that actually work?

Hi, I'm going to create a centralised webinar platform.

Any VPS provider which can hold about 1000 participants in a webinar (not meeting) for under $20?

360p quality. The best I found was OVHcloud. I think we need about 2Mbps per participant. So, need about 2Gbps+ speed

Note: if it has asian servers, it would be great

Also, it should have enough bandwidth. I'm planning to host a 6-hour webinar every day

Have you heard of host4fun.com? Is it legit? They’re selling a 2GB RAM, 2 vCPU Ryzen 9950X for just $7.

Hi, I’d like some advice.

Currently I’m using a Hetzner CX43 instance (8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 160 GB storage). Sometimes the CPU usage suddenly spikes up to 800%, which causes my panel to hang.

I’m considering switching to a dedicated server with a similar budget. I found Netcup offering something like the RS 1000 G12 (4 cores, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage).

From what I’ve seen, Hetzner uses AMD CPUs from around 2019, while Netcup seems to use newer CPUs (around 2024).

My question is:
Would a dedicated server with half the specs but a newer CPU be comparable in performance to my current Hetzner shared instance (8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM with older CPU)?

I want the traffic to be fast, because im going to run a vpn so i dont want an oversold ip address,

1 gbps port would be good

Unmetered bandwidth/traffic

1 vcpu

1 gb ram

10 gb+ nvme

These are the stuff i want

Also a Turkish vps would be fine.

I will be the only user so i guess these specs are fine for a vpn

Note: i also dont want the provider to have a bs fair use policy

I have a few small ideas at the validation stage: landing pages, a dev environment, Docker, PostgreSQL, basic infrastructure. Nothing complex. And I caught myself keeping all of this on AWS purely out of habit, even though all I actually need is a solid Linux VPS with root access where I install packages myself, handle security and DNS myself, without extra layers of abstraction on top of every simple action.

AWS makes sense when a project has grown and you need managed services. But at the pre-MVP stage it is just unnecessary overhead and unpredictable billing. Looking at Digita͏lOcean and Serve͏rspace as more straightforward alternatives without that. DO feels like the obvious starting point, Serverspace looks similar in approach, but I do not want to judge by websites alone.

Anyone who has run small Docker and PostgreSQL projects on both AWS and regular VPS providers: what ended up mattering most before MVP? Cost predictability, panel simplicity, support, DNS, or does the AWS ecosystem still outweigh everything even at small scale?

I’m currently building and improving my own VPS hosting platform and wanted to ask the community something important:

What’s the thing that annoys you the most about your current hosting provider?

For example:

• hidden fees
• slow support
• poor performance
• complicated setup
• outdated dashboards

I’d love to understand what people actually struggle with so I can build something better.

Curious to hear your experiences 👀

I’m considering Scaleway as my main cloud provider, as I’d like to move away from US-based companies and toward EU providers. Part of that is also a personal choice: as an EU citizen, I feel I should support European companies where possible.

At the moment, I also use some Hetzner servers, but for me their offerings don’t really qualify as a full cloud platform. Their services are quite limited, and I’ve also found their S3 storage to be unreliable.

I’ve signed up for trials with a few other EU cloud providers, including UpCloud, but their service portfolio also feels fairly basic.

OVH probably has the widest range of offerings, but I’m not a fan of their UI. Their VPS pricing looks attractive, but I’m always a bit skeptical when it’s very cheap, especially when they don’t clearly state which CPUs are being used. In my experience, that often means older hardware.

That led me to Scaleway. Their UI feels clean and modern, and they offer enough services that I’d genuinely consider them a proper cloud provider. Their pricing also seems reasonable compared to providers like Gcore. From what I can tell, they also offer premium CPU options, while still having cheaper instance types at attractive price points.

So I’m curious: what has your experience with Scaleway been like?

P.S.
Please, no Hetzner recommendations in this post. In my view, Hetzner isn’t really comparable to a true cloud provider.

i want to shift to a vps because of node applications but i also want to deploy my wordpress ones on the same plan of vps and not on a separate shared hosting plan.

i tried business and cloud plan for node apps but they were not to my needs,

can i easily deploy the wordpress websites on the vps without losing it as i cant get a straight answer to this question, some says you cant.

if anyone knows how to do it plz help me

I’ve been comparing different VPS providers recently and noticed that most of the commonly recommended ones here (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, etc.) mostly focus on Western Europe locations.

For projects that mainly serve users in Eastern Europe, I’m wondering if it actually makes sense to choose a regional provider instead of one of the bigger global ones. My thinking is that hosting closer to the target users could potentially improve latency and overall responsiveness, especially for things like APIs, small SaaS apps, or services that rely on frequent requests. At the same time, the larger providers obviously have a strong reputation for stability and infrastructure.

I’d be interested in hearing about real-world experiences in terms of performance, uptime, and network quality compared to the bigger international options.

Has anyone dealt with this situation before? I currently use Sitegrounds shared hosting plan. After the first year, they jack up the costs like crazy. I know RackNerd has its own shared hosting plan, but I've heard from time and time again the service is generally conceived as a budget version so im going to assume that SiteGround shared hosting is far superior than RackNerd's own shared hosting plan. I have about 10 fully running sites btw (with more to come). I heard good things about the general VPS tech. And it especially came to my surprise that racknerd's vps plans are sooooo cheap. that it being faster and more powerful but more manual which I will learn as i go.

What's your thoughts on me making this transition. its either be paying ~$850/2-year period promo with siteground shared hosting vs like... ~$85/1-yr period with racknerd vps... kinda a no brainer right? right????

Hello, I'm an independent developer trying to start a startup. During this process, I researched this topic to move my product to a test environment and make improvements on the server.

Afterwards, due to generally positive feedback about netcup.de, I placed my first order on April 9th, 2026, and received an email stating that the process would be reviewed and I would receive an email confirming the status.

The next day, I sent an email to mail@netcup.de inquiring about the process. However, I received no response. I waited until the weekend and sent my third email on April 13th, 2026. Again, I received no reply.

Today (April 15th, 2026), I received a reply. It stated that the purchase was deemed suspicious and cancelled. It said I needed to start the purchase process again.

I updated my address and other information and placed another order completely correctly, and 5 minutes later I received another notification that my order was cancelled again due to being deemed unsafe.

I wrote a very detailed email to find out what the problem was. I've attached it below.

"Dear netcup Team, I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding the recent cancellation of my orders and the lack of communication from your support team. I am an independent developer currently moving into the startup phase of my SaaS project, Sustys (www.sustys.com). I specifically chose netcup because of your commitment to green energy, as sustainability is at the core of my business. However, I am now stuck in the testing phase because I cannot get a server provisioned. This is the second time my order has been canceled without a specific explanation. Furthermore, I have been waiting for a response to my inquiries for a week now. For a founder who will eventually require a much larger infrastructure and who even considered netcup as a potential long-term partner, this experience is incredibly frustrating. Waiting a week for a basic response is unacceptable. If my information is deemed "incomplete," I expect a clear explanation of what is missing rather than a generic automated rejection. Please clarify the next steps and let me know if it is possible to verify my account. If I do not receive a positive and timely response, I will be forced to take my business to another provider. I look forward to your immediate feedback."

I've attached a screenshot of their reply to my email.

Their customer service and support department is quite poor. I'm experiencing a ton of problems even before receiving the product. What about the future?

This is my experience. Even for an unconfirmed order, I'm struggling for a week to get a response. There's no problem that can't be solved or bill that can't be paid.

Finnaly, I absolutely do not recommend Netcup.

++++++ Final UPDATE ++++++

They contacted me and informed me that this was an error. I know it's not a system issue, but we were able to find a middle ground to test their service. After a month, I will share my experiences in detail in a post. They informed us that they would be reviewing their customer service policies.

Hey everyone, does anyone use Hostinger or have a VPS recommendation for running WordPress sites with clean IPs (that Google won't flag as spam) and good speed? I need to connect it with Xcloud and I'm on a tight budget. What do you recommend?
