Just my opinion.
For personal sites or ones that do not matter that much:
* Digital Ocean
* Amazon Lightsail
For sites related to your livelihood or that matter a good bit:
* AWS works well for me.
- dabernathy89 4y agoI always wonder, for folks who self-host on Droplets or EC2 - how do you handle provisioning the server to ensure that it's secure and has everything you need? I use Laravel Forge for this. I'm not a server admin and don't want to pretend to be.
- OrangeMonkey 4y agoFor droplets and ec2, you 'own' the inside of the virtual machine and its your responsibility to install software that you need and patch it according to a routine schedule. That said, both services have firewall rules you put in place that help manage this. IE - you may expose SSH to your local ip address, but only port 80/443 for the rest of the world. You are right though - its another attack vector. If you don't want to muck with that, and you have a static site, you could put your static site into S3 and then host with cloudfront. With that, you have no risk.
- Something1234 4y agoI personally would lean towards nearlyfreespeech.net as a first choice. They seem to be highly robust. At least this holds until we get to sites that need a full daemon.
- RainaRelanah 4y agoThey support that too[0]. They have a mode for nginx that just proxy_pass's to your daemon so you can run whatever web stack you like under it. 0. https://faq.nearlyfreespeech.net/q/runscript https://faq.nearlyfreespeech.net/q/runscript
