Any recommendations? We usually go with Godaddy or Hostgator (Excluding cloud providers i.e Azure/AWS) But I see other brands like: A2Hosting FastComet DreamHost Hostinger Are these mushroom companies that open and shut down for their convenience? I'm not able to trust online reviews, as most of them are paid & cooked. A2Hosting looks attractive, but I'm not sure how well they do. It would be truly helpful if you share your experience/Feedback. thanks

I've used [DigitalOcean: Cloud Computing, Simplicity at Scale](https://www.digitalocean.com/) in the past and was impressed -- easy to set up, fast, inexpensive, etc.

all much of a muchness, all offer same thing but trying to be 5c cheaper than the other guy (and the extra discount if scroll down to end of the page.) I found the most important thing to check was the price after the first 1/2/3 years - most of the cheap ones can rise a few hundred percent and it's only say 2 years years later when the renewal invoice comes that you realise it's time to move again and again and again. I gave up trying to save that extra dollar per month or get the extra 5 GB of storage etc, rather chose on: 1. been around a good number of years, 2. has a good enough rep (user comments - those "top 10" lists are ALL sponsored crap), 3. has a price that will stay pretty much the same 2-3 years later. of course when checking user reviews there are fake / paid reviews: negative about the competition and good ones about themselves - not all are fake but most of those light on detail... check the 2, 3 and 4 star comments, if there's many more 4's than 2's and the 3 stars mostly complain about something that won't ever affect you then usually it'll usually be OK.

Never used it personally, but IIRC a few of the web comics I read are on Dream Host; since most of them are very shoestring low budget operations that will go with whatever is the cheapest hosting that gives them decent performance (generally by working their way up the cost ladder from cheaper "unlimited" plans that use a shared server so overloaded that if you have more than 5 page requests/hour you get throttled for high use) I assume their entry levelish plans are decent quality for the money.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Yeah DigitalOcean is very good. But some customers specifically ask for cPanel. Particularly the old customers who cannot adapt to any new management dashboard UI. I guess Digital Ocean doesnt have cPanel option.
Although you can't start up a Digital Ocean droplet with cPanel installed, it only takes a few minutes to install it yourself: How To Install cPanel on a Virtual Server Running Centos 6 | DigitalOcean[^ It's a little more work, but the performance per $ at DO is pretty nice, plus the admin page makes it really easy to administer all of your VPSes.
