I’m on Hostwinds VPS unmanaged. I can’t get technical support. I have asked many times to do something, because it would be their problem, since the site is not available for a short time. At the moment I am struggling to renew, but as soon as I have a stable economy, I will change hosting.
I need a 4GB RAM VPS at least and in the future dedicated servers with unlimited bandwidth.

How are you doing with the 7 methods listed above? Were you able to eventually solve your problem?
I should not have troubles.
