That's a good why, but not a who 🙂 When I indicated self hosted, I meant with an external provider/company and not using CIC. I assume you took self hosted literally, as you are the host running your own machines OR you are running an unmanaged VPS (that you self manage) Edited January 6 by Clover13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilip Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I prefer Digital Ocean when possible. They make things easier for people like me. Yep, I misread the last time 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelR Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I've been using one of the sub brands of OVH when I first started and now host directly with OVH on another IPS community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilip Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I thought a lot of people lost faith after that fire incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dismalbliss Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I've been with KnownHost for almost a decade using a managed VPS. Their support is great, which I lean on if I am tinkering and screw something up, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortie Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Regarding my preferred self-hosting company, I use HawkHost, which has been reliable over the years and I have had no issues with them. Just last year there was a fire at one of their centres which took a lot of sites offline, our sites were some of them and they kept us updated and in the loop until they got things back online which I was pleased about.
