Hosting recommendations?

Hi Guys,

Any recommendations for managed cloud hosting providers? recently having a lot of issues with my current provider and thinking about migrating.

I need a Windows server the can run ASP, PHP and Angular.

Thanks!

I am not into Windows, rather Linux, but have a look at Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.com/cloud

Azure might be your best bet

If you wanna remove the the burden to run a VM and patch OS yourself, hop on Azure and get azure app service https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/app-service/ run your ASP/php (Azure app service makes it easy to deploy/scale your app, and won't have to worry about OS updates) and drop your Angular project into zeit https://zeit.co (easy deployments, adds CDN to your app and its cheap)

Hi

You can't go wrong with GCP/AWS. Personally I haven't used Azure.

Both of them have free credits for startups.

If there's anything more specific, we can chat.

  The thing is I don't even know where to start with AWS. My developer doesn't know any thing about hosting either.
  
  Which AWS service would you suggest? EC3? Do I have to install windows on it? Do I have to install Plesk? If my current server is windows 2012 do I need to change my code to make it compatible with windows 16?

    There is no windows 16 and there is no EC3. If you're unsure there are lot of tutorials on what comprises AWS, GCP, and Azure. For Windows hosting your best option is Azure. Their UI is pretty reasonable and they have official tutorials for how to create windows virtual machines: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/.

    I would suggest trying AWS Lightsail. They offer Windows servers from $8/month. Lightsail interface is simple and easy to use especially for beginners.
