I am selfhosting a lot of stuff, but some things are on good old DreamHost instead, for reasons of reliability and such. I’m sure many of you are in a similar position.
I’ve been extremely happy with DreamHost since ~28 years but various reasons prompt me to look for EU options. I am not looking for just plain stupid webhosting (not VPS) but the options I see are so limited: limited subdomains, limited mailboxes, limited databases, limited everything. DH has always offered “unlimited everything” for a few dollars per month, that’s an insanely good offering.
Still, if you could recommend a good EU webhosting provider, what would you say?
I’m curious about the same thing, but also curious what you’re using your traditional hosting for. I also have had DH shared hosting for years and never had an issue. I don’t know if I’m ready to drop it, but not sure if I still need it.
I’m still a huge DH fan. It’s just that the latency from Europe is noticeable, and also there’s an increased risk that some self-proclaimed dicktator might do something stupid so I lose access to my account and my mailboxes. We’ve all read the horror stories of people suddenly being permabanned by Google and losing access to all their precious data. I’m trying to cover some scenarios here.
