"Not everyone can afford the time, money, and effort to maintain a server." Shared hosting doesn't need effort to maintain server and have been done for long time? There are a few free hosting. There is a need for more than just CMS, I have been working on the new idea.

I agree, many always start with the premise "hosting is hard", but maybe this was true 20 years ago, now hosting providers let you spin-up a server in a few clicks, have monitoring, alerts, automatic updates and more. The good part is that for 99.99% of the time, once you set-up a server it could keep on running without issues for many years. I am not a sys-admin but I have used multiple hosting providers (shared, VPS, dedicated) and so far I never had a single server fail or suddenly stop working.

  True, sadly shared hosting still limit with capped disk IO and bandwidth at a premium price which would be similar or more than competitive VPS in performance. I'm still looking out for competitive VPS provider other than UpCloud if you have any recommendations.

    I think that most of the VPS providers have similar prices, I personally use DigitalOcean as I really like their interface.

      True, I have been comparing performance and long-term contract which I have research on shared hosts and VPS providers.

    I like Linode personally. No BSD options, but they've got a pretty good selection of Linux distros as ready made images.

      Same, I have been using Linode for almost 10 years for small projects.

      I have Linode years ago and moved on when the pricing and performance weren't competitive as UpCloud.

    Look at BuyVM, OVH (SoYouStart/Kimsufi), Netcup.eu. All very solid providers and I have servers/VMs with all of them. ..or even Oracle Cloud Always Free Tier (which gives you 2x 1G VMs)

      I think the OCA Free Tier is for testing app. Sadly, none of those near to Singapore than a few including MaxKVM.

        Vultr has a Singapore location and they have good service for very reasonable prices. Similarly to DO in quality/price/offerings perhaps. And OVH Cloud I believe has Singapore location: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-sg/vps/vps-singapore/ https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-sg/vps/vps-singapore/
