The hosting I use
An overview of all hosting providers with short reasoning behind each choice. The list is kept up to date with real experience.
Static & Jamstack Hosting
3
Netlify
My #1 recommendation for Astro, Hugo, and static company sites. Zero hosting expenses to begin with and zero server maintenance overhead.
Vercel
The undisputed benchmark for Next.js fullstack applications, though Netlify and Cloudflare can be more cost-effective for pure static sites.
GitHub Pages
An incredible zero-cost hosting utility for project documentation, portfolio sites, and open-source demos.
VPS & Cloud Servers
3
DigitalOcean
My primary VPS cloud platform. Strikes the perfect balance between fair pricing, high reliability, and an intuitive UI.
Hetzner Cloud
The undisputed cost-performance champion in Europe. For a fraction of AWS pricing, you receive a powerhouse machine with 20 TB transfer.
AWS EC2
Massive enterprise capability for large organizations, but heavily over-engineered for basic websites and personal projects.
Managed WordPress Hosting
2
SiteGround
The best turnkey option for non-technical users seeking fast, secure, zero-maintenance WordPress hosting without Linux shell management.
WP Engine
The pinnacle of WordPress hosting. Perfect for profitable e-commerce and agencies requiring guaranteed SLA uptime.
CDN & Edge Security
2
Cloudflare
An absolute mandatory layer for every production site. The free plan provides superior security and speed optimization over expensive commercial appliances.
AWS CloudFront
An excellent enterprise CDN when your assets already reside on AWS infrastructure. Otherwise, Cloudflare is simpler and faster to set up.
