Welcome to HostingFeed.com — a community dedicated to web hosting, domains, website performance, security, and everything related to building and growing an online presence.
Our goal is to create a helpful, respectful, and professional space where small business owners, bloggers, freelancers, developers, agencies, and enthusiasts can:
Share real experiences
Ask technical questions
Discuss industry trends
Give and receive honest reviews
Offer or find relevant services
To keep the community valuable for everyone, we ask all members to follow these rules.
1. Core Principles
Respect & Kindness — Treat every member with respect. No personal attacks, harassment, discrimination, or toxic behavior. Disagreements are welcome, but keep them civil and constructive.
Honesty & Transparency — Always be truthful. If you have any affiliation (affiliate links, employment, partnership, or financial interest) with a hosting provider, domain registrar, or service you mention, you must clearly disclose it.
No Spam or Self-Promotion — Do not post promotional affiliate links, advertisements, or repetitive offers outside the dedicated Marketplace & Services category.
Quality Over Quantity — Low-effort posts (one-liner questions, “DM me”, vague complaints) may be removed. Provide context and details when posting.
2. Posting Guidelines
Use clear and descriptive titles (e.g., “My 6-month experience with SiteGround in 2026 – Pros & Cons” or “[Offering] WordPress Migration & Optimization Service – Indonesia Based”).
When asking for help, include relevant details: your current hosting provider, plan type, what you’ve already tried, error messages, and your goal.
Avoid off-topic posts. Use the correct category (see "3. Category Guide").
In Marketplace & Services:
Start titles with [Offering] or [Requesting].
Clearly state scope of work, rates (if applicable), timeline, and terms.
No vague “DM for details” posts — give enough information for members to decide whether to engage.
3. Category Guide – Where to Post
Announcements — Official news, new articles, policy updates, and important information from the HostingFeed team. Staff-only posting.
General Discussion — Casual conversations, opinions, and broad topics about hosting and domains.
Hosting Reviews & Experiences — Honest reviews, performance reports, uptime stories, and real-user experiences with hosting providers.
Technical Help & Troubleshooting — Ask for or offer help with technical issues: migrations, speed problems, security, control panels, errors, etc.
Domains & Registration — Domain registration, transfers, pricing, TLD strategies, branding, and new gTLD discussions.
Trends & Insights — Discussions about AI in hosting, green/sustainable hosting, edge computing, market shifts, and future industry trends.
Marketplace & Services — Offer or request paid/unpaid services such as hosting setup, migrations, website development, domain management, SEO, reselling, or consulting.
Rules here: Clear titles, disclose rates/affiliations, no spam.
Use Cases & Specific Needs — Targeted discussions for WordPress, eCommerce, small businesses, developers, agencies, or regional users.
Off-Topic / Lounge — Relaxed chat, introductions, memes, or non-hosting topics. Keep it friendly and respectful.
4. Prohibited Content
Spam, advertising, or excessive self-promotion outside Marketplace
Hate speech, harassment, or discriminatory language
Sharing illegal content or encouraging illegal activities
Deliberate misinformation or fake reviews
Excessive bumping of old threads without adding value
Politics or highly controversial topics unrelated to hosting/domains
5. Enforcement & Consequences
Moderators will enforce these rules fairly and consistently.
First minor violation → Warning + possible post removal.
Repeated or serious violations → Temporary mute, post bans, or permanent account suspension.
Appeals can be sent via private message to moderators.
We want this community to be a trusted resource where people feel safe to learn, share experiences, and grow their online projects.
If you have questions about these rules, suggestions for improvement, or need help with anything, feel free to contact a moderator.
