couldn't agree more, i make a living off these servers i got with you, for me the downtime was a good way to actually prove my drp was working (lab tested it a few times on several occasions) and thus my downtime was like roughly 10 mins.
nothing lost, even dns failed over automatically
Thanks, but I meant 3rd party fora (as opposed to a provider's), neutral, with concrete and credible experience by actual users (as opposed to support, KB, etc.) or in other words, a "HET", i.e. like LET but for "high-end" products.
You seem to insist things must stay exactly as they are—just because this is LET? Providers like Hetzner, OVH, Netcup, and Host-c can raise prices. Yet you think Hostdzire isn’t allowed to do the same.
Global storage hardware prices are skyrocketing. The situation has gone far beyond expectations. So what’s wrong with a provider reassessing risks and costs—and adjusting prices to match reality? Or do you want them to become unsustainable and go under—the next “Deadpool” (not a curse)? Besides, I’m just an ordinary user sharing my thoughts. Hostdzire hasn’t even said they will raise prices. Their Terms of Service already cover this. So what’s there to argue about?
As for the ransomware incident or data loss—I don’t care. It didn’t affect me. The only thing I cared about was the original IP. When I learned two days ago it couldn’t be recovered, I executed my contingency plan. I updated all services manually. Everything runs fine now. I also understand why they assigned random IPs.
All misunderstandings are cleared up. If you still insist on your view, fine—you’re right. That’s all I’ll say. I won’t reply further. Have a pleasant weekend, everyone.
Where does everyone store cheap backups? Has anyone thought about sending them to Telegram?
Is this host desirable or not?
@HostDZire want to change ip please help.
Ticket #884062
Thank you.
This thread made my Monday morning.
Why are so many people hosting 'critical services' on dirt-cheap servers without any backups? You should always keep at least one backup under your own control.
any other alternative?
they do offer me a pro-rated refund if I want to, even though its a LET Special plan
They are trying to fix everything, listening to customers, not like ericlewisboloxmedia
most of my backup are small enough, so they goes to borgbase.com (free 10gb). the bigger one aren't on free service. as long as it's encrypted by default it shouldn't be an issue. if you really emphasis on free then use rclone + rclone crypt, it has more coverage on the free cloud accounts.
don't forget to setup a notification system on the backup action, so you knew if a backup was failing for whatever reason. i personally uses self-hosted ntfysh for this one since i'm not comfortable putting those message in telegram/discord .etc
for telegram i couldn't recommend, my account got whacked after storing around 2TB of encrypted data (which is deserved).
looking forward for dealz. especially on india location (alaready have sg with them)
You probably send it too fast
Did you have telegram premium by any chance?
nope, 2TB is accumulation in around 1 year timeframe. i have a track on it on google sheet (for every timestamp when a backup event is made). i did this with reasoning "is there a limit on this chat app?" and find out. i probably could do better if i managed to script to keep last n backup only (as it's not an incrimental backup), not just perpetually sending more files on daily basis.
i don't think telegram premium is a thing yet back then, it's around 2021-2022 ish. it's also before i knew telegram-as-filesystem too but nowadays i don't bother with it anymore.
if you're willing to pay i think it's better to pay some LET host instead, cheap storage like hostbrr as one of your mirror makes life easier. telegram premium cost $4.99 a month, boy that's a lot of money if the usage is only for storage.
I hope providers will offer VPS storage for backups. We’re entering uncharted territory with no limits; in other words, deep penetration attacks using AI are coming...
@HostDZire any update on this. i think debian 13 templete has issue with /boot/efi partion in /etc/fstab. incorrect uuid
No system is secure. The age of AI has made that easy; I think VPS servers will fall out of favour if these vulnerabilities keep cropping up – even a dedicated server isn’t safe if they manage to breach the router.
TG premium is like $20/yr in my country (IN) and while it doesn’t guarantee account bans, it offers some resilience and also increases the maximum individual file size to 4GB and better transfer speeds too. I have a few TBs of stuff stored that way and couldn’t complain.
Where do you think everything will move to? The cloud? I've heard clouds are safe
Perhaps carrier pigeons will make a comeback
While I can attest to this having stored lots of ahem encrypted linux ISOs ahem, there is no evidence to support the fact that it makes our account more resilient to being limited. Then again Telegram wasn't supposed to be a filehost alternative in the first place.
If the backups are crucial to our work then I would honestly suggest its better to stick to a verified host and follow 3-2-1 policy or 2-2-1.
Anyone can raise their prices, but maybe look at the reaction from LET users to some of those price rises. Especially with Host-C, who raised their prices by 200%+ like you recommend. Providers can charge whatever they want, and consumers can choose whether or not to pay the new prices. But none of the providers you mentioned their introduced any qualitative improvements with their service, which you also seem to expect from Hostdzire if/when they raise their prices so those aren't great examples.
The word "forum" has been absorbed into the English language, so please spare us your cheap attempts to look cultured and educated by using the Latin plural "fora" rather than the grammatically correct "forums". 🙄
But as web "forums" are effectively dead in 2026, the closest you'll find that matches your criteria is probably Web Hosting Talk, (unless you accept that Reddit is a collection of "forums" because then you have all sorts of communities dedicated to high-end hosting).
Cloud services are expensive, and you are subject to whatever pricing algorithm they decide to use. If they make a mistake—which has happened before—you still get charged based on whatever they calculate. What’s more, if you’re hit by a DDoS attack designed to drain your wallet, that bill could rise without your consent.
For me, the best option will continue to be using my own computer for backups. I have nearly 2 TB of storage available (unfortunately, it’s NVMe M.2 storage; fortunately, my backup is less than 200 GB), and I don’t store that much data anyway. On top of that, my computer runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I plan to configure the backup system so that it will update automatically only when both the new data and the previous backup can be read correctly, and when there isn’t a significant percentage difference in size between them. Otherwise, a password will be required before the backup can be updated.
This should help protect me from ransomware or anything else that might wipe my drive and then cause the backup process to automatically wipe the backup as well.
@HostDZire any update sir
A lot of this seems bizarre... But I just want to point out that if an attacker could infect/encrypt the "new data", then they could also infect/encrypt the previous backup. Unless you have some sort of gap that you didn't mention. Encrypted data can be re-encrypted (think: matryoshka dolls)
@dev127 just use reinstall script, faster and safer.
It depends on the storage system you use. If it supports versioning similar to GitHub, you could restore a specific file to almost any previous point in time.
The backup could also keep a record of the permissions each file originally had, while the backup copies themselves would be stored as read-only, with no write or execution permissions. The data could then be sent directly to cold storage and heavily compressed.
This could be combined with an AI-based monitoring system that only alerts you when it detects something suspicious, such as a Trojan hiding a remote exploit payload among the files so it can be executed later.
My server is up and running again. Thank you @HostDZire
Sorry but Debian 13 will take time, if you want you can open ticket for manual ISO mount.
Or you can use this for now.
