"Best effort" backups, suspension without notice, data ownership — hosting terms are read on signing day, not on unpaid invoice or dispute day.

Static site: can the simplest choice last?
Hugo, Eleventy or plain HTML — little server, small attack surface. Until you need auth, search or a thousand pages per day. Where static holds — and where it breaks.
Guide
Jamstack: publishing fast without forgetting dynamic content
Static builds plus a CDN speed delivery — but search, accounts, checkout, and editorial preview stay dynamic. Map those flows before celebrating the Git deploy.
Comparison
Bacloud or Hostpoint: which Swiss offering for a small business?
Hostpoint hosts in Switzerland with French support; Bacloud is a Baltic VPS budget provider. For a Swiss SMB, the comparison is asymmetric — here is how to read the real criteria.
Guide
Headless CMS: when decoupling the front end truly frees the project
Strapi, Directus or Contentful separate content and rendering — useful with multiple fronts and autonomous front team. Otherwise you pay for two stacks for a brochure site.
Guide
Jupyter for a team: making notebooks shareable and safe
A notebook running locally on 32 GB RAM is not team infrastructure. Sharing, auth, sensitive data and GPU cost — how to industrialise without Jupyter becoming shadow IT.
Guide
Renting a GPU for AI: questions that avoid an absurd bill
Hourly or monthly, spot or reserved, real or shared VRAM — a badly chosen GPU instance costs more idle than used. Ask these questions before signing.
Comparison
Anexia or Hetzner: enterprise service or best-value infrastructure?
Anexia sells Austrian managed cloud across 90+ sites; Hetzner sells cut-price VPS and dedicated servers in Germany and Finland. Two philosophies, one IT budget — but not the same trade-offs.
Guide
Hosting a language model: start with constraints, not GPUs
Renting a GPU before defining latency, context, and confidentiality leads to GPU bills and a POC that never reaches production. Map usage, data, and budget first.
Guide
Communicating during an outage: say what you know without guessing
A vague message reassures nobody; a false ETA destroys trust. In an incident, structure updates — impact, scope, actions, next checkpoint — without guessing the cause.
Guide
A useful status page before an incident, not only after
A status page built in five minutes after an outage helps nobody. Prepare components, subscribers and runbook before the first 502 — your customers and support will thank you.
Comparison
Domeneshop or Loopia: which Nordic host for domain and website management?
Two established Scandinavian providers, two takes on domain plus hosting. Here is how to choose based on your market, support language, and need for documented sustainability.
Guide
The 99.99% myth: translating a percentage into lost minutes
Four nines means 52 minutes of downtime per year — in theory. In practice, SLAs exclude maintenance, DNS, and sometimes upstream network. Read the contract, not the badge.
Guide
Core Web Vitals: what a host can improve—and what it cannot
LCP, INP and CLS depend as much on your theme as on the server. Before switching hosts for a PageSpeed badge, separate what belongs to CDN, PHP and the front end.
Guide
HTTP/3: visible speedup or premature optimization?
HTTP/3 and QUIC promise lower latency on unstable networks. On a site already fast over HTTP/2 with healthy TTFB, gains are often marginal — sometimes negative if origin stays slow.
Comparison
EBRC or Combell: which footprint between Luxembourg and Belgium?
EBRC anchors Luxembourg on managed hosting and continuity. Combell dominates Belgium with French and Dutch support. For a Benelux footprint, align legal entity, support language, and backup location.
Guide
OPcache: the PHP setting worth checking first
OPcache stops recompiling PHP on every request — immediate CPU and latency gain. Misconfigured or disabled after deploy, it stays invisible until the next outage.
Guide
PHP-FPM: tuning workers without turning the server into a gamble
Too few PHP-FPM workers and requests queue; too many and RAM collapses. Here is how to calculate pm.max_children from real memory use, not a magic rule.
Guide
High TTFB: find the slow link before buying more CPU
A TTFB above 600 ms is not automatically a hosting problem. Before upgrading, isolate DNS, cache, PHP and the database — the full chain, not just the symptom.
Comparison
Cloud Temple or OVHcloud: which criteria for a French health project?
Cloud Temple positions on trusted cloud and sovereignty. OVHcloud offers HDS on some offers with a broader catalogue. For health in France, HDS attestation and exact scope beat brand.
Guide
Does the Dutch privacy reputation withstand the details?
AMS-IX, telecom history, surveillance laws — the Dutch privacy reputation deserves a nuanced read: real connectivity, current legal framework, subcontracting.
Guide
What German hosts often do better than others
Bare metal pricing, documentation, Datenschutz—the German market excels on measurable criteria—without claiming "German" equals absolute sovereignty.
Guide
Choosing a French host without reducing the choice to a flag
OVH, o2switch, Infomaniak in francophone space—the French flag is not enough. Infra, support, compliance, and product criteria—beyond "made in France" marketing.
Comparison
Hostinger or o2switch: which first host avoids an early migration?
Hostinger attracts with global promo pricing and a simplified panel. o2switch sells unlimited French shared hosting with human support. For a first site, the real question is how long before shared hosting saturates.
