Hosting Service

[Owen Densmore]

The hosting service for backspaces.net literally closed up shop and disappeared w/o warning or access to data!

So I'm looking for a reasonable hosting service with ssh access and modest hacking capabilities .. bash, *nix commands, possibly node.js, as well as a reasonable "dashboard" .. like CPanel or similar for installing packages.

I'll probably use this as a way to toss hosted wordpress and media wiki and just use much simpler blog/wiki web services.

Any recommendations?

These guys have a cheap option:

I have the $4/month one and it works well enough.

Yes, I use Bluehost, too.  Works well enough and with a lot of accessories.

I have been using bluehost for years. It is good for my needs. I am not a "hard-core" programmer. Php, MySQL, a few javascript libraries and that's all.

Around ten years ago I hosted in my house my site and others of my friends but  It worried me the frequency of cyberattacks. Three in a year. Enough. Any how, It is fun to run a server at home. Some day I will do it again but with a firewall well configured and I will never provoke someones anger.

Hi Owen,

Most hosting companies will offer a VPS which will give you total control of the *nix platform. Costs more but you can install whatever you want including your own versions of PHP and MySQL for example. Shared hosting accounts don't allow that but suspect you know this.

Here's a report on 2015's Best "VPS" Hosting Reviews - noticed GoDaddy's not included, BlueHost comes in second but equally low priced at $15/mo.

Thanks
Robert

We are using Amazon AWS with pretty good results. You could use a small (t2.micro) Linux instance which probably would be adequate. The per hour charge is $0.013 (yes, a bit more than a penny an hour). However:

1. The first year can be free.
2. After that, if you commit to a time period of a year, the total cost is $75 per year.
3. If you commit to three years, the total cost is $151, or about $4.20 a month.
4. You can play around to your heart’s content. If you screw something up, you just throw your (virtual) machine into the trash can and start over.

If you have large amounts of network traffic from the outside, they may charge you for each gigabyte of traffic. The current cost of that is $.09 per GB after the first GB, which is free. That looks pretty good, but it is a large cost for us since we are running a CTAN mirror site.
