Ask HN: personal hosting

1 points by sniuff 13y ago ↗ HN

Talking about hostings, what hosting would you recommend for personal website(-s)? After two years of using stablehost.com I find myself in need of bigger hosting (space) for similar price (had 50% recurring). Do you have any budget hosting recommendation?

I would use appfog but I need bigger than 100Mb database (mysql) for one of my projects.

It doesn't matter if it is PaaS or old-school ftp/cpanel hosting. I would like to spend not more than 50$

I'd assume most HN users would spring for a VPS, and if you're looking for a good price, check out lowendbox. You can easily get something for $12 a year.

What are the lowest requirements for VPS to run a ~5 websites with minimal load and couple of email boxes?

I can't know what you mean by minimal load, but I'm guessing you could get by with 128mb RAM to run a few personal sorts of sites, but I've seen $7/m for 1-2gb RAM. Be sure to read comments to make sure the company is decent, as most are run by just a single dude who could be flaky.
