What hosting do you use?

[Jason]

What are some pros and cons of it? How long have you used it? How did you discover it?

I use Digital Ocean for everything. They let you spin up a virtual server to suit your needs and you can group them by project. I use one server dedicated to my forum and another I just host all my small static sites on.

They provide Ubuntu as the operating system and then I install nginx as the actual server software.

I like it but there's not much in the way of support. You're just left to your own devices and trusted not to screw up your server.

Does the price make up for lack of support?

Yes it does. You can host there for under $20 a month.

I'm currently using Hostinger as well as OVHcloud for one of my projects. I used Ionos before switching to Hostinger for most of my websites because they had a good deal for the first year hosting was only $6 but as time went on I noticed the renewal fee really wasn't worth it. Not only did they increase the prices, they also charge you for SSL certificates and you can't use ones you bought from outside sources.

I'm currently using USHOST247 as my hosting provider. I've been with them close to almost a year now. I used to host with Mddhosting for 4 years though. They were great as well.

Why do you like the hosting?

Their support team is responsive and fast. I also like how fast their servers are.

I use Name Crane. The hosting has more free speech, and I need that for my Christian blog/forum.
