For Windows... Hosting.com

Hands down expensive as hell but AMAZING support.

For Linux... Inmotion Hosting

Reasonably priced, but UNBELIEVABLE support.

Seems like everyone working at these two companies is a wizard that put on their robe and hat before work. When you pay for hosting you want someone on call and smarter than you for when things go south.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you about InMotion.

Their infrastructure feels like using a couple of half disassembled servers on the floor. Their platform is fragmented to pieces, they have no idea what a "design system" is, and you have to log into like three different webapps to just play around with your server.

They are literally in the same place they were in on day one, playform wise.

If you're nostalgic for some 2006 era hosting company, go with InMotion.

What is missing? Does their infrastructure work?

I read that as Invotion at first, and had horrible flashbacks to working at Hosting.com's former parent company, Invotion. ( https://www.bizjournals.com/louisville/stories/2004/07/26/st... ).

Back then Invotion/HDC was kind of shitshow, so I left and spent a couple years at Rackspace...
