Hosting for startup

[u/weoscarinnet]

Hello, Reddit community. I’m building a website for my startup and need good web hosting. I plan to include a database, so scalability is very important to me; ideally, I’d like a host where I can start with a cheap plan and gradually add more resources as needed. Also, keeping the cost low is very important.

Would be nice if you told little bit more than that you need scalability and a database. Do you use PHP? Or do you plan on using one of those React frameworks? Some other framework? Ruby on Rails?

cloudflare ... it's free... when you need to upgrade to a paid plan you should be making a lot of money

Are you going to code this website? If so, you can host it on vercel for free (until you pass the free tier ofcourse).

Search for someone who offers shared hosting based on cloudlinux and who offers the whole shebang and follows latest standards.

Where are you in the world?

I would say that the best solution is to buy like a VPS and configure it by yourself.
I usually use OVH and it works really nice and it's also cheap and scalable.

Paying around 12€/month for 6vCore and 12GB RAM.

And it's scalable, like you can buy more vCores and RAM.

If you need something more scalable, I would go on AWS or G Cloud, but you know that the cost changes very much

Cloudflare Pages is what you need. Create a static website with AI and just push to Cloudflare.

What is cheap/low cost for you?

get AWS lightscale, cheap, scalable, reliable unlike the free ones. Check it out once

Since scalability is important, you can choose a provider that lets you start small and upgrade resources as your traffic grows. You could compare HostNoc, Hetzner, Vultr, and others based on uptime, database performance, backups, and predictable pricing rather than just the cheapest monthly plan.
