Back in the day, A2 was a good value for hosting a static site with direct access to the files. It also ran MailMan list servers with restricted users, as well as providing standard email addreses for the domain. Now that they have been bought by Hosting.com, those features come at a premium price. We are a dot-org group with less than 60 people on the list-serve and only a half dozen emails for the domain itself. The site is merely a reference point for documentation, how to reach us, and a bit of history. Does anyone have any recommendations for a hosting service that will provide these features at a reasonable price? Yes, it is "easy" to have separate services but I am not intending to manage this for much longer and those likely to replace me are somewhat challanged in domain management. TIA.

ETA: Mod requested I include answers to the standard questionnaire. So here goes:

• What is your monthly budget? Less than $10, i.e., $120/year or less
• Where are you/your users located? All in USA; No interactive features
• What kind of site are you hosting (Wordpress, phpBB, custom software, etc) or what is your use case? Plain old HTML. No logins or interactive features of any kind.
• Do you have a monthly traffic volume? Estimates are ok. Less than 500MB/month
• If you’re looking at VPSes: Do you have experience administrating linux servers and infrastructure? Yes
• Did you read the sidebar/check out the hosts listed there? I've personally vetted these companies and their services are a good fit for 99% of people. Some. Issue is subscripton-based list-serve availability.

I have a non standard Tld. It just went from 20 a year to 60 then to 100. This is happening all over the place. This is infuriating to me. This 100 dollar item consist of nothing more than a single database entry and a replication on a few servers. 1) there is no competition. Government's need to make this a public utility and force competitors to share lists 2)there are totally open source options like opennic that don't play this stupid game in the first place. All it would take is for a big player like Google to say enough is enough and adopt the open standard and icann is done.

I have no problem paying a fair price for a service. But I have a problem when someone (like in another post I read) has a "premium domain" and all of a sudden the price is raised from 20 bucks to almost 800 (this was for a .sbs tld lmao)

This is a rant , yes, but I Icann and the registries are a real problem. What can we do about it?

Have been with Flywp for 2 years. But looking for something alternative because their SSD Storage is limited and my website has more than 300GB(image & video based website). Flywp higher tier are quite expensive. Any good alternative managed VPS that may provide Wordpress media offload feature in a good price?

My monthly budget is $40-50.

Priority: more storage to store media files.

No VPS experience, so need managed VPS.

Hello!

I work for a small business in the construction and restoration industry. As part of our current initiatives, we’re bringing our digital marketing operations in-house after historically relying on third-party marketing agencies.

We’re also evaluating our current web hosting arrangement. Our WordPress website is currently hosted on InMotion, and we’re considering migrating to a managed WordPress hosting provider.

After some initial research, Kinsta and Rocket. net emerged as two frontrunners. I wanted to reach out to this community to get some firsthand perspectives on either provider, particularly regarding reliability, performance, security, customer support, and ease of management.

For additional context, our team is technically capable and comfortable learning new systems, but we have limited direct experience administering web hosting environments. We’re looking for a solution that minimizes ongoing maintenance while giving us appropriate control and visibility into our website infrastructure.

For those who have experience with Kinsta or Rocket. net would you recommend one over the other? Are there any meaningful differences or potential drawbacks we should be aware of? We’re also open to other recommendations if there’s a provider you think would be a better fit.

Context:
Our business is primarily conducted in the Phoenix Arizona Metropolitan area.
We use Wordpress
Our monthly budget is flexible, but many of the options we were looking at seem to be sub $50.

Thanks in advance!
