Thu Mar 18 02:02:58 UTC 2021

For cheap stuff, we like Green Geeks

The renewable energy thing is cool, they've been pretty responsive, and
they're good for small stuff.  We have had nothing but headaches with
Siteground and Hostgator.

For larger stuff, we prefer Pantheon (Drupal only, don't like their WP),
WPEngine, and Liquid Web. Media Temple and Cloudways are good if you want
to figure stuff out on your own.

Good luck.
