People struggle to find hosting that fits their budget and needs
Website owners, indie developers, and project maintainers ask for hosting recommendations when costs rise or providers lack requirements such as dynamic features, SQL access, or particular ethical and geographic criteria. Some are weighing a move, and one person says a price increase may mean giving up their website. The evidence shows people turning to social posts for recommendations, but their needs span several kinds of hosting, making a useful comparison hard to narrow down.
For indie website owners and project maintainers. Mentioned from Jan 2024 to Sep 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

The price for having my website is going from $10.95/month to $23/month so lol guess I won't have a website anymore. Anyone have any recommendations for a place I could shift over to?
