Lesson learned: don't host your stuff at unknown cheapskate companies, you got what you paid for. $1 a month or "one time fee" for hosting, really? http://www.cloudatcost.com/pricing.php

Their plans look really attractive from a dev's perspective tbh.. simply use them for dev and deploy somewhere reliable.
Only if your time is worthless.
The difference between e.g. a DigitalOcean VM that will just work™ and a constant headache from one of the LEB[1] providers is, at most, $48 dollars per year.

Not _all_ providers listed on LEB are unreliable or unprofessional. My favourite VPS provider is one I found on LEB. They have fantastic routes to mainland China, which means I get ping times of ~85ms vs. at least 250ms with Digital Ocean.
What provider is your favorite then?

Oneasiahost: https://www.oneasiahost.com/ is great if you need access from mainland China.
Otherwise, Ramnode is a good solid one. Others here: http://lowendbox.com/tag/top-providers/

In the past I used A2 Hosting and had excellent service. I might just go back with them as it takes some time to validate a new host. So far I'm been recommend Rackspace if you want top notice support and require business class support.
