Common problems

What holds Tech Startups back online?

Shared hosting limits your stack

Node.js services, background workers and custom software need server access that ordinary shared hosting does not give.

Foreign card billing

Cloud providers bill in dollars on a card, so costs move with the exchange rate and a declined card can take services offline.

The marketing site is an afterthought

Founders focus on the product while the public website, docs and company email are left on free tools that look unfinished.
