[UK/USA] StackCP Hosting - One time Deals Have Returned - Upgrade Option

    This is a mini-review for those considering this service.

    Think of this offer as a better free hosting service with SSH access. Don’t expect anything beyond what you’re paying for. In my opinion, the best use case is running something highly cacheable behind a CDN—such as a CMS like Grav.

    Configuration and Features

    • Subdomains: If I'm not mistaken, subdomains are unlimited.
    • Weird Phenomena: They apply some hacks that are hard-coded to specific request paths. For example, a redirect related to /wp-admin/ appears to expose internal directory structures to end users. This behavior was observed on a Laravel application, not a WordPress installation, which suggests it’s some kind of hack. (I expected a 404 error because it’s Laravel. The same thing happens with .env, where I also expected a 404 since no such file exists; instead I received an unthemed 403.)

    Technical Limitations and Performance

    • Resource Limits: They do not use CloudLinux, and there is no LVE limit as advertised. In fact, there is no LVE at all. Who needs artificial restrictions when you already have actual physical limitations?
    • Control Panel: The control panel is neither cPanel nor DirectAdmin, so some features—such as domain pointers—may be missing.
    • Performance: A simple test page (/up), which is essentially a near-static page in a Laravel application (commonly used for uptime pings), took around 500 ms to render, excluding network time. (I guess, the bottleneck is the disk I/O.)
    • PHP Configuration: There is no CageFS. I suspect custom php.ini files are not supported (I’m currently confirming this with their support). However, the more restricted .user.ini does appear to work, though it doesn’t allow for much configuration.

    did you try changing this behaviour in htaccess?

    @szymonp said: did you try changing this behaviour in htaccess?

    I wrote my own .htaccess, and I’ve checked every file in my home directory. None of my .htaccess files do anything like that; I haven’t done anything even remotely related to WordPress. The redirects are happening in other layers, not controllable from the home directory.

    Also, they run multiple reverse proxies. The server has no IPv6 when accessed through SSH.

    @szymonp said: did you try changing this behaviour in htaccess?

    Ah, you mean adding -Indexes and similar directives.
    By “exposing directory structures,” I mean through highly non‑standard redirects—not file indexing pages.

    For example, when I rewrite / to /my-somewhat-hidden-dir/, it redirects /wp-admin/ requests to /my-somewhat-hidden-dir/wp-admin/. This is highly non‑standard and potentially exploitable if someone already has an almost-working vulnerability chain.

    Correction

    It turns out that the weird redirects aren't from the hosting after all.

    It's due to edge cases in Laravel's redirection logic. By default, Laravel trailing-slash redirects don't consider internal rewrites, which leads to unexpected redirect destinations.

    And this is confirmed to affect more than just /wp-admin/. It impacts any path with a trailing slash on a Laravel application. Furthermore, mod_rewrite isn't expressive enough to fully prevent this gotcha in every scenario.

    That said, the .env behavior is still not what I would expect, and it differs from standard hosting environments.

    @xHosts; we missed you.

    Quite a few people here are still waiting for the storage upgrade.

    Thanks for sharing an update.

    I will try and get on my laptop later today to apply these upgrades, due to a recent illness, I required medical treatment. I have just been managing most direct support requests as I felt these are the most important to resolve support requests.

    Oh, wow. I'm so sorry to hear you've been ill and needed treatment.

    Don't worry about the upgrade; it's not an urgent thing to be done, no need to rush or stress about it. We'll be here when you're ready.

    Order Number should be either 6140562994 or 3264715746.
    Your system gave me a Bad Gateway error during ordering, and two invoices were created after a refresh. I have paid the first invoice, but the second one remains unpaid. Please remove the unpaid invoice/service that was generated during this process.

    We are working on processing these upgrades.

    Just a side note, we have migrated from WHMCS to Hostbill yesterday, 99% of accounts are working in terms of access to control panel, only a handful seems to have not linked correctly, if you face this issue please raise a support ticket and we will resolve this for you.

    @xHosts
    Hi there,
    I am an existing customer (currently enjoying your UK/EU hosting) and I'm looking to grab another Lifetime Hosting package, specifically in a US location for a new backend project.
    However, the purchase link for the US offer seems to be broken (possibly due to the migration). I have just opened a support ticket regarding this: Ticket #391854.
    Could you please check the ticket or DM me a working link? I am ready to pay as soon as the link is available.
    Thanks!

    Hi John @xHosts,
    Thank you for restoring the links!
    I noticed that the £12.50 plan offers "Unlimited Premium Bandwidth" while the other plans just say "Unlimited Bandwidth". Could you please clarify the difference between the two? Does the "Premium" version come with better routing, higher priority (QoS), or different network carriers?
    I'm quite interested in this £12.50 plan and really want to give it a try for my project, but I'd love to know a bit more about the network side before making my final decision. Thanks!
