So here's the thing... I'm planning to create a website for my app and I know that it's not going to get more than 30k visitors a month and I'm okay with shared hosting because I don't think I really need a dedicated web hosting because I know it's not really needed.

But do you guys think it's good to have a shared web hosting because I'm also concerned about the safety. Are shared web hosting safe?

And what should I have the budget? I think I can spend up to like $100 for shared hosting and I can increase my budget for up to $200 if I have to go with dedicated web hosting. But right now I don't know which one is safer and better option.

Please don't suggest godaddy because that's trash. Had a horrible experience with them with my domain.

So, which one should I go with?

Is dedicated hosting actually worth it, and if so... which one should I get?

I feel like I'm at the point where shared hosting just isn't cutting it anymore. My site has random slowdowns, and I'm tired of trying to figure out whether it's my code or just the hosting.

A few people have told me to switch to a dedicated server, but I honestly know next to nothing about it. Is it something you have to manage yourself? Is it overkill for most websites? How much should I realistically expect to pay?

If you were starting from scratch today and just wanted something reliable, which dedicated hosting provider would you recommend?

Bonus points if you've actually used it for a while. I'd rather hear real experiences than another "Top 10 Hosting Providers" article that's probably full of affiliate links.

I’m building a startup and part of it requires me to run untrusted user code (gvisor). I’m currently using digitalocean for running and building docker images but it’s pretty expensive (luckily I have credits). I don’t use any of digitaloceans native features.

Anyone have any good suggestions? I don’t need latency to be that low (max 400-500ms) so even if locations provided aren’t as many as DO it’s alright.

I searched for a2 hosting and figured out that it doesn't exist anymore. They're now acquired by hosting dot com now. Is this good? worth purchasing?

Hey there, are you using any hosting provider that's good for US/UK audience? Like, I want my website to be really fast for these 2 places because most of my visitors are from these places because I run ads for these countries.

I'm starting tomorrow so it'd be great if you can help me.
