Runs large side projects on WP Engine base plan at a fixed monthly price.

Calls Contabo the worst host they have used in 15 years.

Moved hosting from Azure web apps to Linux on Hetzner with Cloudflare edge caching and cut the monthly cost dramatically.

Recently moved their custom-domain email to Fastmail and loves it; Squarespace price rises prompted looking at hosting.

Was charged for a domain they never ordered; GoDaddy said a staff member with account access made the purchase and gave no clear explanation of how.

Found it frustrating that a client's whole Squarespace site could not be reassigned to a new subscription, forcing a manual rebuild, and now leans toward Framer for clients.

After years on a shared plan, renewal hikes put their bill at about $20.63 a month, above the $17.95 list price, so they feel overcharged and are shopping around.

Finds Contabo good value and flexible for both site and email hosting.

Has used GoDaddy for over 12 years and feels it declined; contact-form emails stopped reaching their inbox and GoDaddy branding is on their emails.

Runs KVM 2 plans and advises paying monthly, since one plan kept its old price while another jumped sharply on the next bill. Cancelling anytime is a plus for them.

Finds Contabo low quality, with roughly 30 percent CPU steal that forces buying more vCPUs than needed.

Uses RackNerd and checked their plan: about a year for a modest price with 2 cores, 3.5GB RAM, a 65GB drive and plenty of bandwidth, seen as roughly on par in price with a pricier Hostinger plan.
