Who to host with?
There are loads of great hosting providers out there, that being said there are LOADS of terrible ones too.
After a fair bit of trial and error we've found the best VPS Cloud providers to be Linode, Digital Ocean and Vultr, and we currently use all three, this site is hosted on a Vultr server.
There are numerous reasons for picking these providers and if I get enough time I may create a comparison and benchmarking post, but in the meantime I can tell you what we use each for.
Linode: Slightly higher price (and now only marginally with their latest packages), but rock solid stability and been in the marketplace a long time, we use these for client servers - prices start from $10 a month.
Vultr: The newest to the marketplace, but blazing fast servers at a good price, we use these for our own non-critical project company servers (but reliability has proven great!) - prices start from $5 a month.
Vultr have reached out with a $20 promotion link, just signup through this link and you'll receive $20 to try out their service completely free of charge
Digital Ocean: Somewhere in between Linode and Vultr, we use them for rapid deployment of more unusual customised setups - prices start from $5 a month.
*In the interest of full transparency if you buy through one of the above links I will receive a small commission. If you've found the information on this site useful and you're thinking of signing up with one of the above companies it would be great if you could click through from one of the links above... it won't make me rich, but it does help keep this site running ;)
