There are a plethora of server hosting services on the Internet, and they have become less expensive and more powerful over time. Each of them have different benefits and drawbacks: thus, we aim to summarize them so you can choose the right provider for your needs.

This guide was written thanks to the advice and experience of Sunako, a skilled sysadmin that has shopped for and purchased from hosting providers around the world.

Sections

  • Hosting/Providers - The providers we recommend for a multitude of different purposes.

Special Considerations

If you have special needs, there's providers out there for you.

  • Hosting/Free - Free, high quality hosting really is available out there, and it is good enough for a small website or webapp.
  • Hosting/Cheap - Discount providers with high quality exist out there on the internet.
  • Hosting/Storage - If you need to store and host tons of data inexpensively on hard drives, there's providers that specialize in it.
  • Hosting/Minecraft - Minecraft servers often have special needs and pricing concerns.
  • Hosting/DMCA Friendly - Some hosts are relatively lenient with the DMCA and will be fine as long as you keep up with your DMCA reports.
  • Hosting/Lawless - Some hosting regions, such as Eastern Europe and Israel, have fallen into a black hole where copyright, patent, and trademark law have taken a back seat.
