Good server/hosting providers I know
vServers
- OVH High quality vps with reasonable prices
- Noez German server provider for cheap vServers (with pretty cheap extra IPv4 addresses)
- Contabo Another german vServer provider with cheap storage servers
- Signaltransmitter Very cheap vps and even cheaper ipv6 only servers
- 1984.is Privacy focused vServers in iceland
Root/KVM Servers
- OVH Affordable bare metal servers + storage. Decent for ETH Nodes
- Netcup S-Tier kvm server provider. Good prices for decent hardware/uplink
- Hetzner Has tons of cheap dedicated servers. Hetzner also provides a cloud service + API
- Host.ag Affordable bare metal in Sofia (Bulgaria)
Webhosting
- Netlify Amazing free tier plan for static websites
- Vercel Free plan is okay. Would not recommend using them as backend for most projects
I am honestly not the biggest fan of many serverless cloud providers and running your backend on them. Some downsides I have experienced:
- Vendor lock-in everywhere
- Only advantage they provide is ‘on the edge’ hosting/cdn services & management features
- Overpriced af. You are paying a lot for fancy UI and CI/CD. Both netlify and vercel are just reselling aws lambda as backend at the end of the day
// TODO: Add more providers when i remember them & add affiliate links
// TODO: Do a more serious post where i talk/rant about vercel/next.js
