DigitalOcean combined with ServerPilot or RunCloud is The Best and Reliable Cloud Hosting. Just $5 per month. Awesome!

The TOS is clear that if you post it - they can do what they want with it - in perpetuity. Making this one of those MONEY HOSTS that would not be legal in France, that mandates fair treatment of artists.

I sincerely think that this should be outlawed because it is just not a fair and above-board way of doing business. It would be fair to outlaw it and level the playing field if it costs $.50 cents more.

BUSINESS WISE A TOS LIKE THIS IS UNTENABLE, AND A COMPLETE FAIL.

DO a very good cloud hosting with a reasonable price. It is easy to use and it's always improving. I host a small Rails app on DigitalOcean with Cloud 66. Great combo.

I now have tried AWS LightSail and Digital ocean beets them 20:1 . DigitalOcean is faster and has more options when setting up Droplets/Instants for virtual servers. the speed of Digital Oceans servers beet AWS 4:1 with the same specs. ill stay on DigitalOcean

Remote VM Hosting (ie. complete and total control over your hardware and software environment) at insanely low prices starting at less-than-a-penny an hour. Even the cheapest plan is extremely capable for software development and lightweight hosting and is capable of providing a graphical desktop environment to connect to via a protocol of your choice (VNC, RDP, etc)

The best I've tried so far. It's super easy to set stuff up and super easy to customize it. The only issue I've had is sometimes the interface glitches out, but it's nothing serious. People complaining about them not having a TOS probably got their sites shut down for a reason and plus should've had a database backup.
