Ask HN: Where do you host medium-scale start up sites?
I have been using HostGator shared hosting as a low cost solution to host some of my start up ideas over the past year or so. Unfortunately any time a site gets a decent amount of traffic, my account gets disabled for server load or something of that nature. For those of you that outsource your hosting, what sites have you used that you like? My main requirements are PHP, SQL, ruby, and python.
Thanks!

- Dramatize 15y agoI second Linode.com It's the first real VPS I've used and it's been pretty straight forward to learn. We're using it to host http://rumplo.com http://rumplo.com
- carbocation 15y agoI second this. Furthermore, it's cheap enough that there's no reason not to have dedicated instances for your DB server and your HTTP server.
- JonLim 15y agoSeconding (or thirding?) Linode. We use it to host much of PostageApp. (http://www.postageapp.com http://www.postageapp.com)
- seointexas 15y agoMedia Temple is pretty sweet, and they have a friendly user interface.
- dibarra 15y agoPersonally, I have a dedicated server, there's plenty to be had out there for a relatively cheap price. ($50ish range, they're out there, I'm hosting at http://securedservers.com http://securedservers.com) A dedicated server is a good opportunity to learn about server administration too!
- vipivip 15y agoServerbeach folks have great infrastructure.

- hank808 15y agoRackspace "Cloud Sites". It is like shared hosting, except it scales. PHP and .NET only.
