I was sick of mainstream companies after endless problems and issues and I found vultr on a web hosting forum: http://www.vultr.com http://www.vultr.com And it's awesome. A good hosting provider is one you forget about. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all. So far, I didn't have any problems, didn't need any support and nothing went wrong. And the reviews, when you finally find them, are usually great. I remember comparing performance when I made the decision. And basically, all the major players suck big time. GoDaddy, HostGator and BlueHost are shit. AWS works for large scale stuff, for everything else it's shit. If you want quality, go with a small provider. The mom and pop shops of the tech world. Bigger companies use cost reduction to increase profits and squeeze out every last penny. Small companies and startups are hungry for clients so they focus on great services and products.

Even though it's obvious, it's considered good etiquette to disclose when you're using a referral link. Also, you're on a new account. There's also another reply vouching for Vultr on a new account in this thread, albeit without a referral link. Something smells. If I were OP I wouldn't even consider vultr. > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9118593 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9118593 > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9118652 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9118652

  Yes, you got me. I created my account 10 days ago and commented on various threads just to post a referral link to a web hosting provider.

Read the TOS before you use it. You could be sued trillions of dollars for sending (accidentally or intentionally) spam over SMTP.

  It's a generic Indemnification clause. Digital Ocean has it. Linode has it. AWS has it. Even my startup has it.
