• Fresh install does not create index.html page

  FYI I am using hostgator.com as host and installing WP 6.0 using Softaculous. I have tried various themes and am having the same problem with any/all of the themes I have tried. Source: about 4 years ago

• Customer Support for Non-account/customer

  My solution, that I started to use probably 20 years ago, is having my own emails & domain on a webhost server. Expect to pay $30 for a webhost, domain name & registration each year. Assuming your name is John Doe, you could have [jdoe@newDomainname.US](mailto:jdoe@newDomainname.US) or some such, plus 16 other emails [XXXXXX@newDomainname.US](mailto:XXXXXX@newDomainname.US). Spam filtering is free. You will... Source: almost 5 years ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)

  v3 of https://stacktape.com Stacktape is a PaaS that deploy to user's own AWS account. V3 adds many new features, but namely the ability to generate IaC config directly from code, by analyzing the user's repository (both deterministically and using multiple AI techniques).

• Show HN: Canine – A Heroku alternative built on Kubernetes thats 10x cheaper

  At https://stacktape.com, we're also in the same space. We're offering Heroku-like experience on top of your own AWS account. I like what you're doing. But, to behonst, it's a tough market. While the promise of $265 vs $4 might seem like a no-brainer, you're comparing apples to oranges. - Your DX is most likely be far from Heroku's. Their developer experience is refined by 100,000s developers. It's hard to think... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Heroku Is Down

  For those interested in a Heroku alternative, have a look at https://stacktape.com (full disclosure: I'm a founder). It's a Heroku-like PaaS platform that deploys directly to your own AWS account. It support both serverless (lambda functions), and serverful (AWS ECS Fargate or EC2) deployments. Besides that, it supports other AWS infrastructure resources, such as RDS, Aurora, Redis, ElasticSearch, etc.. You can... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative

  I'm sorry for being a bit off-topic, but I'm a founder of a PaaS company myself, and I think that what we offer is a great alternative to Coolify for companies that need a more "managed" and reliable infra. https://stacktape.com is a Heroku/Vercel-like PaaS platform that deploys directly to your own AWS account. It supports both serverless (lambda functions), and serverful (AWS ECS Fargate or EC2) deployments.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
