[TriLUG] Fwd: TriLUG Digest, Vol 3803, Issue 1

[Matthew Glassman via TriLUG]

I've only hosted small small stuff on Heroku and because it was free for my
usage.  I hear a lot about netlify, but I am unaware of what you can do on
their free tier and if they work nicely with Python.

Subject: [TriLUG] Looking for linux friendly web hosting
It's been forever and a day since I looked into web hosting.  Is there an
above-and-beyond preferred hosting company these days?  The website in
question will start off fairly basic but I can see a need for Flask or
Cherrypy or Django in the near future.  I am all Linux all the time as far
as any development goes so I would like to have a hosting company that is
friendly to such things.

Are there any small to medium companies local to Durham or Raleigh?

Thank you in advance!

Greg

I'll just drop this in without necessarily offering an endorsement:

I've used both Linode (https://www.linode.com/ - Philly-based I believe)
and DigitalOcean (https://www.digitalocean.com/ - NYC-based, IIRC); and
personally, I prefer DigitalOcean.
Based on what you are trying to do, I think DO may be best aligned with
your goal.

If you're looking for super-simple (!) web hosting of a wordpress site,
I've used LaughingSquid (https://laughingsquid.us/) for that purpose.

I'd also be interested in hearing from the DL which others exist and
whether or not DO/Linode have 'issues'...

Recommendations depend on what you are trying to accomplish.   Are you
looking for an experimental platform?  or are you looking for hosting a
business/group site?   Social Networking?  Video hosting? ....

For my personal needs,  I ended giving up on hosting.   Setting up an
account on noip.com.  Then setting up a server at the house.  Running
nextcloud and a few other  sites.  https://toebesacademy.com.  I can
experiment to my hearts content and still access it from outside the
house.   Nothing high traffic demand so sharing the home bandwidth is
not an issue.  Lower cost that way.
