Which web hosting company do you use?

HostKoala, hosted in Germany on DirectAdmin for $5 per year, ok for smaller sites .. =)

what is the difference in choosing direct admin and Cpanel?
 
I am using Digital Ocean to host my webpages. It's 15$ per month, but there are cheaper options. Used to have Amazon AWS (weird hidden costs), then Google Cloud (expensive) and now I've landed at Digital Ocean and I love it.

Everybody talking about DigitalOcean, please I want to ask which plan is better for a music blog on DigitalOcean I am kind confused
 
Siteground and Hostnine recently. Hostnine since 2015. Siteground since last year as a backup, if something goes wrong with my Bluehost websites (which actually did).

Went with Bluehost for two/three years, but they deleted my whole account, didn't gave me any access etc. - can't recommend those pricks.

Nothing much, in general, layout - but they have pretty much the same functions, nowadays .. =)

I mainly use Digital Ocean because its just easy to use and gets the job done.
 
Depend what i need, usually i target EU people, so Hetzner , good support and cheap enough
 
I am from EU. Data center also in EU.

My clients have special needs, and local data centers do not provide such services.

For example, protection against DDoS attacks. Typical data centers in my country operate as follows: if an attack occurs on a local area network, the local area network is shut down; if the attack is from abroad - disables the foreign network. "BGP blackhole."

I solved this problem simply by making a GRE tunnel with my partners and always filtering the VIP client traffic through Hong Kong, Moscow or UK. So protection till 250 Gbps is always on! (tested and confirmed with 180Gbps+ attack).

I agree with you sometimes managing DC is headache. But I love my clients and I know that they need special attention :)


This is a practice that many ISPs use, they build a Network Edge spread globally, allowing to dump traffic in different regions through GRE tunnels!
 
I now use Closte, HostKoala, Inleed. But used a lot of others too.
 
Services for delivery to final consumers are mainly built on:
- DigitalOcean
- Linode
- VultR

However, I use many other Cloud providers, as well as contract dedicated servers from others!
 
I am using Namecheap hosting
Same. Been using them for eons even though people say their not good, I've always had a good experience with them on VPS and Dedicated Server. They're not DMCA friendly though so if you plan on hosting that kinda stuff they'll bug the shiet outta you when the nannies cry.

Thanks to the recommendations on this thread I'm gonna try AWS too.
