MODERATORS
This is very important. Not everyone at all knows how to setup nginx, haproxy, varnish, mysql, redis, php-fpm and maintain that going forward just to host performant wordpress.
modern developers dont seem to know anything ops-related, outside of basic jamstack(s) configs.
In no particular order:
- Price (if looking to host something low value)
- Price/performance (if longer-term)
- Details of Fair Usage Policy
- Bandwidth limits
- Overlimit pricing
- Location - proximity
- Location - creepiness of government / jurisdiction
- Reputation of the company - are they scummy? Do they oversell? Is their datacenter about to get yeeted? (cough Dedipath cough)
- Are they bullshitting me with RAID 100000 PURE SSD STORAGE!!!!!
In fact, I actually prefer HDD storage for most of my servers: for most websites, your bandwidth will be a bigger limitation than your data access speed.
Are they bullshitting me with RAID 100000 PURE SSD STORAGE!!!!!
very specific. who hurt you?
I prefer VPS with good price/performance.
Which benchmarks should one compare between providers?
for me price per gb ram per month because memory is always my bottleneck
Has to be KVM based. Then I look at shared / dedicated CPU cores and IO disk speed.
I like Hetzner. Very high price/performance, pretty easy, no complaints.
