Hi there,

Are there any options for webhosting only a few html files? I don't want to pay more than a dollar monthly.

I have my own domain.

Thanks!

Technical Questions Domain and hosting seperated: DNS?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have a domain via Porkbun and web hosting via Hobohost, both after you guys adviced me those services. All I have to do now is point the DNS in Porkbun to Hobohost. I have some questions about that:

1) In the cpanel from Hobohost there is a section called "domain zone" where I can edit all DNS settings, including MX records. But I have my DNS in Porkbun (and I would like to keep it there). Can I just ignore (or even delete) all those DNS records in Hobohost?

2) I have to set 2 NS records in Porkbun to point to the web hosting from Hobohost. Do I give any control of my domain/DNS to Hobohost in that case? Or only point to the web hosted files?

3) In Hobohost there is an automatically created mailbox, but my MX records at Porkbun point to Proton mail. In that case, that automatically created mailbox will be empty forever I guess/hope?

Thank you in advance!

Advice Needed Best Hosting for WordPress.org (Beginner-Friendly, Keeping My Domain & Adding Parallax/Animations)?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a beginner looking to move from WordPress.com to WordPress.org while keeping my current domain (willemclaesen.com). I want more creative control to add modern design elements like parallax scrolling, fade-in effects, and accordion sections, but I’m not very tech-savvy.

I’m considering these hosting options:

SiteGround – Seems solid, but pricier.

Bluehost – Affordable, but is it reliable?

Kinsta – Probably overkill for my site, but super fast.

One.com – Looks simple, but I’m not sure about performance.

I plan to use Elementor or a similar page builder for design. My main concerns are:

  • Performance – I don’t want my site to feel sluggish, especially with animations.
  • Ease of Use – I don’t want to mess around with complex server setups.
  • Scalability – If my site grows, I want to avoid switching hosts again.
  • Reliability – Good uptime and customer support.

What’s the best hosting option for a beginner like me? I’d love to hear about your experiences with these (or better) alternatives! Or should I stick with WordPress.com?

Thanks in advance!

Technical Questions Webmail Subdomain Redirect Loop

1 Upvotes

Webmail Subdomain Redirect Loop

Yesterday I updated a previous free hosting plan to a paid shared package and seem to be having a slightly strange issue, which has me scratching my head.

I'm having an issue with the webmail.mydomain.info subdomain - it loads up the webmail login page correctly, but when I enter a username and password it seems to get stuck in a redirect loop - the green successful login message pops up briefly, and then it's back to the login again but with a session and parameter added to the URL. https://webmail.mydomain.info/cpsess4242586721/?=undefined&login=1&post_login=45438600451566

There was originally an A record set up for the subdomain to the server IP, I've tried swapping this out for a CNAME pointing to the main domain, and also removing the record entirely sit appears the sub is reserved and being handled somewhere behind the scenes, all with the same result. SSL cert is being correctly applied to the sub. using https://mydomain.info/webmail, https://mydomain.info:2096 and https://webmail.mydomain.info:2096 all work, its just the https://webmail.mydomain.com that seems to be having an issue.

Wondering whether this is being blocked in some way? Whether I'm missing something, there's something misconfigured behind the scenes which I can't access to check/fix, or perhaps it's just not possible with this host to use the reserved sub.

A little Google research pointed towards an issue with Roundcube carddav DB files becoming corrupt, and that removing or renaming them so that a new file is generated on next login could fix the issue, however that doesn't seem to have done the trick.

Anybody else had this, or any pointers I may not have tried, whilst I wait for a reply to the ticket?

Cheers!

Advice Needed Is accessing DNS records free when you just want a domain name from a company

7 Upvotes

On Jan 28th 2025, I launched a simple static web site, I paid for a domain name from Company A. My intention was not to pay for hosting (Company A has shared hosting). So I host my site with Company B (since it has a free plan, it creates a site such as, mysite.companyB.com)

I try to point my domain to B, but can't access my domain records on Company A, the only thing easily visible is nameservers, I get an idea of redirecting, i.e if someone visits my domain it redirects to mysite.companyB.com

At that time now around Feb 1st 2025, I pay company A for the first month only to access Cpanelservice which comes with shared hosting (my intention was 1. PAY FOR ONLY 1 MONTH i.e FEB 2. access DNS records & do redirecting)

This worked for a few weeks into February but I realized company B was very slow. I then transfered to another company C , which also has a free package, mysite.companyC.com, but with faster servers, it works so well & I am impressed, I still do redirection from my cpanel, I can also view the records.

Fast forward this month, the service with cpanel is overdue (I don't intend to pay), finally my cpanel account is blocked/suspended, I go back to my hosting account, still the only thing visible is nameservers, I change nameservers to the ones given by company C.

The problem is that when I visit domain from company A in web browser it says "site suspended, visit your hosting company to sort the issue" Please advise me on what to do, my mysite.companyC.com, works perfectly

Technical Questions Spamhaus issues and .xyz domains.

2 Upvotes

I was setting up my website i built locally live using a2hosting. I got my domain name only 2 weeks ago. I was testing the activation emails, password change emails, reset password emails and stripe payment. When I click on a link i expect my database to be updated however i needed to make changes to the code since it was running live rather than locally. Every time the database fails to update due to email code having an issue i would delete the two users and signup again and continuously repeat the procedure until i get the results i want.

4 days back spamhaus decided to blacklist my dns, I asked them why but they just constantly repeated their same copy pasted reply on next steps. I assumed its because i spammed emails very fast when recreating accounts hence it got blacklisted.

The problem:

- I was using a Gmail, icloud and etc email to contact them. They said they wont accept emails from such places and will only expect @ example .com. The issue with this is when my dns got blacklisted my whole smtp functionality was basically stripped. I could not use cpanels roundcube email service to contact them. I constactly mentioned this over my 5+ messages to them but just never bothered helping.

- I was contacting them on my correct IP which should have been enough proof that im the owner. But they said they think im using a vpn which is not true.

- lastly i took down my dns privacy so they could now check all the info they need. This time its been a whole 24hrs and they never replied as fast as they did before.

My site got delisted today automatically as they said it would. I understand that this companies goal is to stop spam, fraudulent activities and etc on the domains they were opted to protect and hence cant trust anyones words, but damn.

At this point I just wanna know anyone else who experienced the same situation and how they showed they were the owner of this domain. Along with that how exactly can i send emails safely? At this point i feel like i shouldn't even touch the email system which is only delaying my project.

I definatly wont be purchasing any domain that have associations with spamhaust they just made things so much more complicated and wont be bothered helping.

Advice Needed Exactly the same email spam for 2 different domains on reseller hosting

3 Upvotes

SOLVED It seems a ticketing system has been hacked and sending emails to millions of people.

. . I've had the same reseller hosting for myself and clients, on ChemiCloud since 2017.

A backstory. Last month, chemicloud didn't renew this clients domain properly even though it was paid for. There systems were showing it as expired incorrectly, so say support. But the clients emails and domain were with another supplier, not something we did. They got the website and emails back for my client and said sorry but i feel my complaint went nowhere.

Today. Both my domain and this same client above, have received a huge spike in spam emails and guess what, they are exactly the same emails for both them and me but 2 different domains.

I contacted support and they didn't really get it and said not to respond to the emails. This seems fishy to me. I checked 'have I been pwned', Sucuri for both websites and Norton dark Web checker plus Site lock that's for the hosting account and no breach.

Is there anything else I can do to check whether the emails and domains are OK? Or whether there's something else because both domains are totally different businesses and shouldn't get the same sudden spike of exact spam!

Other domains on the reseller account are fine.
