Page views limit too low?

I understand that. Recently, Xooit, a French forum hosting company (that refuses to give customers’ data back if they leave) recently increased their price, and many users were constantly looking at their “views” number to avoid being upgraded to a very expensive plan. Looking at their complaints, It seemed indeed pretty stressful.

Wow… that must be stressful indeed! And that kind of behavior from those companies shouldn’t be legal, especially when Discourse itself is built on the premise that we own our data! There are some nasty people out there!

@Canapin

There are some, the only one I know is Communiteq

I actually asked Claude about some companies, and that was the first one. And I just LOVE their prices and what comes with it. The plans are more balanced, just the way I suggested on my previous post: $20, $50, $100, and with a HUGE difference when it comes to page views and storage! I will definitely check them out. And since it’s hosted with them, I just have to pay and manage my community, which for now is what I want.

It’s not official, available at GitHub - Arkshine/discourse-custom-progress-bar: Adds a progress bar below Discourse’s header that can serve various purposes..
If used alone, the progress bar values must be changed manually from the component’s settings.

As for me, receiving donations through ko-fi.com, I used their API and Discourse’s API to automatically update the “current value” setting when someone donated.

Thanks! I will keep this info for when the time comes.

Thank you for the extra info on your hosting, emails, etc. I’m not familiar with anything Amazon related. I think for now I will use the Communiteq option, let the community grow and when/if it really becomes obvious that I should self-host, I will look into that info you shared. More likely to hire someone to do that for me.

Really appreciate the info!
