Scaling a small SaaS? One WebHostingTalk member's warning: a client was paying $1,200+/mo across a dozen AWS services while barely using the compute. Moving off meant rewriting 30%+ of the app. #SaaS #DevOps #CloudComputing webhostingtalk.com/showthrea…

A WebHostingTalk member filed for an ARIN /24 at around position 440 in August. Replies guessed 9-14 months. It came through in two months. Another member got theirs in 12 days. ARIN filled 483 waitlist requests on Oct 7. #ARIN #IPv4 #Networking webhostingtalk.com/showthrea…

What's a fair price for a 1Gbps unmetered dedi in the EU? Replies mostly land at €80-200/mo. Two warn that much below €85 often means an oversold port, so ask if you can run it at full speed 24/7. #DedicatedServers #Bandwidth #WebHosting webhostingtalk.com/showthrea…

PHP2Shell: two critical (CVSS 9.2) PHP RCE flaws patched today in 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35. WordPress auto-updates won’t fix it, so it’s on hosts. How are you handling it? #PHP #cybersecurity #webhosting webhostingtalk.com/showthrea…

Would you rent an Intel Atom dedi in 2026? £15/mo gets 2 cores, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD and unmetered bandwidth. Most replies say a cheap VPS or mini PC beats it, unless you need the unmetered port. Poll closes Oct 24. #DedicatedServers #VPS #WebHosting webhostingtalk.com/showthrea…

Month-old WebHostingTalk thread, still going: which control panel do you run? cPanel's still the default, but pricing has hosts trying DirectAdmin, Enhance and Hestia. Brand-new AI-built panels? Lots of skepticism. #WebHosting #cPanel #DirectAdmin webhostingtalk.com/showthrea…
