• Ask HN: If you are starting in 2024, what is the most productive solo dev stack?

  Without becoming a software engineer? None. Work for 1 hour a month in the developed world to make enough money to pay for, say, a month on https://wpengine.com/, and get to working on the actual website, not its infra. Even Python will take someone starting from zero anywhere between 10-100 hours to fully grok. A phenomenal time investment if you have any professional interest at all in computers, but if... - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• Website Hosting Advice

  For hosting, if you want reliability over everything else, WP Enginge is probably your best bet. It's on the pricier side, though. I didn't use any other hosting besides local German companies yet, so I cannot recommend anything else. Source: about 1 year ago

• Public html folder removed without any trace, how?

  Transfer is super easy... wpengine.com is my favorite for WP sites. They handle backups and have security options and can handle plugin updates. Source: about 1 year ago

• Migrating a WordPress website to a better hosting service

  Go for a managed wordpress host. VPS is fine, but not any old host- find someone that does wordpress hosting and does it well, and has higher up tiers that will give you white glove service. Something like https://wpengine.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Alternative clouds are booming as companies seek cheaper access to GPUs

  I've got a dedicated machine for $30/month. It's ancient, a xeon L5640 with 16 GB ram, and 1 TB spinning disk, but it's dedicated and it works great. Well actually, the first one stopped working well, and I got a replacement with double those specs for the same price; and the second one is working great. I also run with full disk encryption, because I don't trust their opsec on wiping drives, so that's a bit of a... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Day 0 - Creating Your Own Local Server

  We normally recommend using Amazon's AWS "Free Tier" or Digital Ocean - but both require that you have a credit card. The same is true of the Microsoft Azure, Google's GCP and the vast majority of providers listed at Low End Box (https://lowendbox.com/). Source: 7 months ago

• Replit moves to permanent paid hosting after 7 years of free service

  I get them from the aggregator https://lowendbox.com when companies offer deals; some have been great, some poor, but all very cheap; I think $14/year has been a decent one. Although my current one only has 512MB RAM and isn’t enough for Rust to compile Scryer Prolog. Prolog, a language first run on the computers of 1971 and standardised around 1998. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Tech Independence

  FWIW, I recently found a VPS offering for $1.41/month (!) @ 1.5GB RAM & 30GB HDD via https://lowendbox.com/, at https://my.racknerd.com/index.php?rp=/store/black-friday-2022 (please note I have no idea how reliable it is though!). I managed to deploy NixOS there through nixos-infect (https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Migrating WordPress from Do to Hetzner

  Hetzner is still expensive for a blog. Check out offerings on http://lowendbox.com/ you can get a 4GB/2vCPU for like $45/year. Year, and not month. That is the kind of margin these big brand sellers have. I have been using a couple for the past 3-4 years and been pretty nice so yeah. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
