Nimbus hosting - Now terrible - September 2025

[RobParker]

Doh! They keep assuring me it’ll be seamless and no need to test and it’s just a “button click” but I’m not confident.

Yes it was, the problem was I didn't want them to do it and we had an agreement they would wait until we'd tested a forum upgrade on the new server (essentially using it as staging).

Now I'm getting a load of elastisearch errors :-(

I’ve been using OVH to host all my 12 websites running on different scripts.

They are located in France if that’s any good.

OVH deleted a backup server without warning. Awful experience.

Never had any issues with them.

I've been with IONOS, formerly 1and1, for over 30 years and still with them today. A few minor outages which were quickly fixed. I've only used their shared hosting, but always find it nippy and does the job for me. They have some excellent pricing for shared and VPS hosting. They are international, but have offices in many countries, including the UK. This is the current pricing for shared hosting:

Do they include a free SSL certificate? Or only for the first year?

Thx.

I believe the SSL Certificate is for as long as the contract - if you're interested in their hosting, start a chat with them to clarify. I have seven SSL certificates on my contract, though only four domain names, so I can only assume some of them are remnants from previous domain names I held with them. They're all Wildcard certificates, too, so they cover variations of a domain name and subdomain names. They have some great offers too on VPS if that's to your liking:



Check to see if they have a presence in your locale. Good luck!

Me neither. I've been using OVH for 10+ years. Even when hardware has failed, their support has been good at performing the work at times when I've requested it to be done etc.

I’m the same, 10+ years using them. Very happy. Don’t think will move somewhere else, plus they are cheap to start projects
