@jcrabapple Yeah I'm curious about that as well. And isn't this the one that Chris Trottier is involved with?

Example: I pay above market share for my #WordPress hosting, but that is because I want 24/7 security response if something happens.

I also host with @mastohost & Hugo is phenomenal but I do realize that he can not be up 24/7! 😂😅
I wonder if the difference is something extra like phone support‽

Cliff (cliffwade@allthingstech.social)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 23:19:04 JST Cliff @darnell I pay $40 a month for an estimated 500 users, 20GB DB storage and 200GB of media storage.
SpaceHost charges $106 for estimated 100 users, 50GB of storage space.
Clearly you can see that what I'm saying is indeed correct. These prices that SpaceHost are offering is INSANE and not something I would ever suggest to someone for any reason at all. It's just way too damn expensive for what you get.
I also get instant replies from Hugo at MH if/when I email.

There seem to be 3 levels: 1, 2, 3 & the price goes up the higher the level. I wonder what service Space Host is offering‽
I am glad they are offering PixelFed hosting as we definitely need more of that in the Fediverse.

Cliff (cliffwade@allthingstech.social)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 23:26:07 JST Cliff @darnell While no, he's not around 24/7, the support is beyond quick and always has been. I've been with him for well over a year now.
Even if they offer phone support, that's not worth $66 extra dollars per month.
In the end, their services are just way too expensive compared to MastoHost and others out there.
