Has used Fastmail for several months and likes the 1Password masked email integration. Says the apps just work, has no complaints and considers it great value for the money.
“Been using Fastmail now for several months, the 1Password masked email integration is fantastic, the apps just work, no complaints, I think it’s a great value for the money”
Is moving a 100-site plan away from Nexcess after a year of decline: the price rose from $638 to $849 a month with no added benefits, PHP patching took over a day with little communication, and the included CDN and automatic updates did not work reliably. Says the speeds are still great but would not recommend it.
“Nexcess was the last of all web hosts I am aware of to patch the most recent PHP vulnerabilities. Took over a day with little to no communication.”
Has been with Hosting.com for about five years on a reseller plan and is leaving after three price increases in a single year, the plan renaming and going from $39.60 to $48.60 a month. Says he was not told the amounts in advance and found out only when charged; he cancelled and is moving elsewhere.
“They've increased my price 3 times this year! Starting on March 24, 2026 my price for their "Kickstart Reseller" had a name change to "Reseller 25" and a price increase to $39.60.”
Moved a marketing site off a roughly $12k a year Webflow Enterprise plan to Astro on Cloudflare for about $5 a month.
“We had an enterprise subscription which costed us 12k usd per year. I moved everything to an Astro project and hosted on cloudflare costing us 5$ per month”
Has used Fastmail with their own domains for about 15 months. Finds the support very good and human, and likes the configurability even though the many settings felt overwhelming at first, plus the detailed headers, boolean search and subdomain aliasing.
“The settings can be a touch overwhelming at first because there are so much it can do, but pretty soon. I got used to it and LOVE the configurability.”
Used Proton Mail with SimpleLogin for two years before switching to Fastmail. Found the domain transfer smooth and simple, and has zero complaints about the web, desktop or Android apps so far.
“I'm loving everything about Fastmail so far; I have zero complaints about the web app, desktop app or android app”
Agency paid Webflow about $9k a year and replaced it with a self-hosted stack costing about $25 a month.
“my agency was paying Webflow $9k a year for all of our website plans, this solution costs us less than ~25 dollars a month”
Has a dedicated server with Liquid Web bought in 2024 and was told it would rise about 51% on 17 days notice. The old price can only be kept by paying twelve months up front, which they find hard to afford as a self-employed customer.
“They say I can keep my old price of $355 if I pay for 12 months up front. That's $4260 I have to come up with to avoid the 51% hike!!”
Rebuilt a Webflow-ready sports team site on Astro, Sanity and Cloudflare to avoid about £34 a month.
“The Webflow version would have cost us around £34/month. The new site runs on Astro, Sanity CMS and Cloudflare, with effectively zero running costs at our current scale”
Non-developer designer loves Webflow and builds from Figma links via Claude in minutes.
“I honestly love webflow and with Claude its even better”
Moving away from Webflow as it is too limiting for ecommerce and nobody in house wants to use it.
“Too limiting for e-commerce and no one in house wants to touch it”
Agency developer no longer recommends Webflow and is moving budget clients away due to high small-site hosting costs.
“I haven't been able to professionally recommend a site be built utilising Webflow for the majority of the year now”
My domains have sat at Gandi since around 2009. Back then the mailboxes came free with each domain and renewals were never something I thought about. Since the company was bought, both changed. Mail became a paid add-on, so I moved it to another provider and only kept the free forwarding, and my .com renewals now cost more than three times what I pay at Porkbun. The DNS editor is still clean and I can't remember a single outage. Twelve domains moved so far, the rest will go as they come up for renewal.
Freelancer here. I run 11 small client WordPress sites on one Hetzner VPS with the Essentials plan. Unlimited web apps on a single server is what makes the maths work for me. The panel takes care of the dull parts: setting up the stack, free SSL, picking the PHP version per app, scheduled backups, and one staging site where I test plugin updates first. Keep in mind you still pay Hetzner for the server, RunCloud only manages it. Prices have gone up more than once since I signed up, and API access is now only on the Business tier, which annoyed me. One time an agent update failed and I had to update it by hand over SSH. Support is ticket based, they answered within a day and were polite but it's not instant.
Been on a Cloud VPS 20 with them since early 2024. It hosts my Nextcloud, a Gitea instance, Uptime Kuma and a few Docker side projects. 12 GB of RAM for what they charge is still hard to beat anywhere I've looked. Know what you're buying though. The vCPUs are shared and you can see steal time in htop during European working hours, so anything CPU heavy runs noticeably slower than on my Hetzner box. Disk is fast, no complaints there. Uptime has been decent for me. Two unplanned outages so far, one about 40 minutes, plus a maintenance reboot announced with very little notice. Support tickets get answered but slowly and the first reply is usually a template, so I don't count on them for anything. The panel looks old but does what I need: reinstall, snapshots, rescue mode. I keep restic backups off the server anyway. For self hosting by someone who can manage Linux it's great value. I wouldn't put a client's shop on it.
Was a Liquid Web customer for close to a decade and had several frustrating support experiences. When the renewal email threatened a 12% increase unless a one-year commitment was signed, it confirmed the decision to move to another host.
“At the time I had several frustrating experiences with LW support, and no longer trusted their quality. I was already in the process of moving to a new host,”
Already runs a VPS with netcup and is happy with it. Ordering a second one took just under 48 hours to provision with no status note, which they accept, and they praise the service and use the servers for AI testing and non-production work.
“Edit: soon after writing this message, the server start up email came through. So I think it was a little less than 48 hours. I’m OK with that. I love their service.”
Got the same Liquid Web renewal email but their increase is only 5% on a good original deal. Notes the price freeze now requires paying twelve months up front instead of monthly, and they do their own monitoring and troubleshooting anyway.
“Last time they did this we had the option to freeze the price with a 12 month contract, but still paying monthly. This time the 12 months has to be paid up front,”
KVM 2 for about 8 months, running n8n, a Postgres container and a couple of small APIs in Docker. 8 GB RAM at that price is hard to beat, and the panel makes snapshots, OS reinstalls and firewall rules easy. I barely touch it beyond SSH. Then I ran a heavy scraping job overnight and the server got throttled hard, everything crawled until the next day. Support pointed me to their CPU usage limits. Uptime otherwise has been fine. Check the renewal price before you pay. The intro rate only covers the prepaid term, after that it's a lot more.
About two years building client sites on it, mostly Next.js. The developer experience is still the best I've used. Push to GitHub, every branch gets its own preview URL I can send the client, merge and it's live. Pages are fast and downtime has been a non issue.
Moved the bakery's WordPress site and email here almost three years ago because the first year was so cheap. For a long time it was fine. cPanel is the normal one, installing WordPress took about ten minutes, and the chat agents were polite even if half the time they just sent me a knowledge base link. This year was rough. Renewal came in at more than double what I first paid. Then in August the whole thing was down for most of a day, site and mailboxes, and live chat was down too, so the only updates I could find were posts on X. Customer orders that came in by email didn't reach me until the next day. A couple of times around holidays the site also showed a resource limit page when traffic went up. Fine for a hobby site. If your business runs on email, put it somewhere else. I'm moving mine this month.
Says Microsoft 365's built-in backup is super easy to set up and works well.
“Super easy to setup and works well”
Mid-build developer says the Box element change forced a workflow switch and will make this their last Webflow site.
“this will be my last site built on webflow”
Was with Liquid Web from the start and left two years ago. Says the company went from a favourite to one that made them sick after the private-equity buyout, and recommends looking elsewhere.
“Left them 2 years ago. Was with them from the start. The minute the vultures bought them out, it became from one of my favourite companies to one that made me physically sick.”
