Where do you host your site?
I've owned UranusHost for several years now... I'm new here and I'm wondering... where do you host your site(s)?
I'm assuming if you're not running a WordPress site or HTML/CSS based site then you're using something like DigitalOcean, Heroku, or AWS. However, if you are using something more standard like shared hosting or a VPS, I'm wondering what you're using there!

I have been using render.com for a new project, and just wrote a little about how it works today actually at https://stackselect.tech/articles/under-the-hood/deploying-symfony-app-in-docker-on-render
It's good, at least so far
I host https://oneprofile.page on https://render.com - easy and so much cheaper.
Firebase hosting

On the internet bro
There you go...
Hahaha 😄
Backend (Rails + Postgres)
Frontend (Next.js)
Dokku on DigitalOcean. Dokku's an open source Heroku alternative that is super simple to configure, works just like Heroku with git push, etc. simple to setup SSL certs/domains.

I use hetzner. It is the best value for money. It does not have software products but you can install your own.
Netlify (static sites) or Digital Ocean (Laravel Sites). I skip AWS because of the way Amazon is treating their workers.
Front-end: Surge.sh & Vercel (now.sh)
Back-end: Clever Cloud, a French PaaS
Vultr.com cheap and fast
Firebase
Cloudflare
Namecheap
Digital Ocean for the DB/Prisma and Vercel for serverless API/NextJS Frontend.
Would highly recommend Vercel for ease of use with Next.
DigitalOcean
I am using for all my side projects Digital Ocean. They have really cheap prices for starters plan and they allow easily to upgrade if you need more CPU, RAM, or space.
Static sites get hosted on Netlify / GitHub pages (if can be open sourced), otherwise Dokku on Digital Ocean, or Kubernetes clusters.
Hi Joshmanders - Im interested in Dokku on Digital Ocean. How is the performance like for production ( heavy traffic) sites
Hey for UpStamps Landing Page I am using Vercel
Moovweb XDN is a great Jamstack solution for large scale, dynamic eCommerce/travel websites. Its JS-based CDN has a 95% cache hit ratio for dynamic content at the edge which leads to sub-500ms page loads. An impressive solution!
Hosted Status Page uses OVH VPS for quick tests and experimenting, Contabo VPS for production.
Also, shared hosting for random stuff on WebHostingBuzz (long time user).
For front-end only projects I always use Netlify. Very clean and easy interface and connects with github perfectly. For bigger web apps I use Heroku because it’s easily scalable and affordable too.
Ramnode here. Their premium KVM machines are some of the fastest VPS’s I have ever benched.
I use cloudways for e-commerce and siteground for for my blogs
Https://www.colorsandfonts.com and all my stuff is hosted on Netlify.
Couldn't e happier
okteto is free
Firebase for the DB and Netlify/Vercel.
pure static pages: gohugo via AWS Amplify
Dynamic pages: also AWS Amplify - but here I use React + amplify cli
I had the same question before and decided to host Lori's website on GitHub Pages. It's static site and open source hosting, so if you don't have to hide your code, I totally recommend it!
Almost always Heroku, I really wanted to use Vercel(Zeit) but it just had compatibility problems with what I was building.
I use AWS Elastic Beanstalk for my node.js web applications, I find it's a good mix of automation and configuration (and there's no added cost from it!). I used to use Heroku but I found it hides a bit too much from me. I do have quite a bit of familiarity with AWS already from my full-time job, so thus my ability to dive a bit deeper than Heroku.
For static sites I have just used AWS S3 + AWS Route 53, which generally costs $0.51 per month. My plan is to try Netlify for my next static site.
Github Pages, it's the easiest and it works great for fast load speed: joshternyak.com
I added Ghost CMS to make my website easy to work with and so far, it's paying off. I'm growing a bigger audience everyday. I talk and write about web development, productivity, and what I've learned along the way.
I was on GH pages and then moved to GL pages... at the time GH didn't have actions, and I was tired of using Lambda to rebuild my site on a schedule (to allow for "future" posts to show up). GL pages + runners solved that piece of it for me.
S3 bucket on AWS. All my backend is serverless (lambda, API gateway, Dynamo DB).
Static files? Frontend-y? Netlify everytime.
Backend? Heroku at first. GCP if it scales.
Just moved to glitch.com pro hosting. Never looking back
Frontend: Netlify
Backend: Serverless - so AWS Lambda, API Gateway
Digitalocean if you're comfortable using linux
Also def try to get free credits. When I entered YC startup school I got the promo for 10k free credits for a year at DO. Now i think it is 3k. If you schedule a meeting with them and tell them what you are doing, a lot of times they give you free hosting. i haven't paid in months for tons of servers
Been a big fan of Linode for years. They keep coming out with cheaper services or upgrading the services I already use. I used to run a bunch of $10/month VPSes, and now a run a bunch of $5/month VPSes that are more powerful than the $10/month ones ever were.
Plus, their support is stellar.
same here, been a customer for ~10 years now. part of my side hustle is running benchmarks between a few VPS providers and even though they don't always perform the best, their annual "birthday gifts" more than make for it since nobody else does anything close.
recently started to use their object storage up in newark and have been extremely happy with that (although still seemed a bit buggy in terms of trying to host domains out of it and such)
ironic that they just had some blips in dallas... whoops
Been a long time customer of DigitalOcean. I like managing my own servers. They introduced support for Docker and all the new DevOps stuff too. I'd probably switch to using Docker soon if the project gets more promising.
Vue.js frontend hosted on Netlify, Django backend hosted on Heroku
Hi. Interested to know how Heroku is working out for you with Django. Did you try other platforms. Any gotchas you've come across. Overall experience? Options for deploying Django seem limited.
It's stupid easy. If you need to run lots of jobs though do them somewhere else.
Cool. I can do stupid easy. Thanks for reply.
Depends of the project but AWS, heroku or a VPS

Disclaimer: I own the hosting platform
just reselling scaleway?
No
gotcha, well your site's living on a scaleway IP, so figured that was the case
