Nice project 👏

For podcast hosting, look for solutions that give you control over storage, bandwidth, and privacy — many “free” platforms trade that for data tracking.

If you want something more independent, we can help at RootHosts — EU-based hosting for files, site, and RSS, with no hidden limits.

You can test everything with a 7-day free trial, and we can offer NGO discounts 👍

That sounds really frustrating — especially with the domain issue, that shouldn’t happen.

If you're still looking, we can help. At RootHosts, we offer stable EU-based web hosting with email, proper domain management, and real human support. Our focus is reliability, security, and actually being there when something breaks

You can also test everything with a 7-day free trial before committing.

@_elena that’s frustrating — especially when it spikes traffic like that without warning.

I’m a Linux/Windows system administrator, and this kind of load can be managed. You can limit or block such crawlers and also protect your VPS with anti-DDoS, rate limiting, and traffic filtering.

If you want, I can help you secure and optimize your setup — or we can provide a VPS with built-in protection.

@fred
paying more only makes sense if you actually use the extra resources.

If you're looking for something closer to your current setup, we can offer a VPS with:

1 vCPU / 4 GB RAM / 20 GB NVMe / 1 Gbit/s port
from €5.69/mo (or lower with longer terms)

No hidden costs, simple pricing, and you can try it with a 7-day free trial before committing.

@archo
I get what you're looking for — it’s actually harder than it should be to find truly independent EU VPS providers.

Most popular ones like OVHcloud or Hostinger still operate across multiple regions or have ties you might want to avoid .

If you want, we can help — at RootHosts we offer VPS solutions with clear pricing (no hidden charges), flexible storage (50GB+), and full control over location and setup.

@elshara
I get your frustration — this happens often with unstable hosting and domain issues. Not everyone can self-host properly, though.

At RootHosts, we offer stable, independent hosting with more control and reliability. You can test everything with a 7-day free trial before paying. If you're happy, we can also help with long-term hosting and maintenance.

I want to insert one more thing..

If you are using providers such as Hetzner, OVH, or Contabo, keep in mind that they may suspend or terminate your service without prior notice if they detect policy violations, DDoS attacks, flooding, or other suspicious activity. Unusual traffic spikes or complaints can also trigger action. Before choosing a provider, make sure to carefully review their Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

@felixthehat

Hetzner are good,

You will receive adequate support and reasonable prices for all your projects.
