Amazon Web Services (AWS)
AWS’ robust, global network of data centers offers blazing-fast speeds and unparalleled uptime, but it’s not ideal for beginners. If I had an improvement suggestion, I’d request instant customer service for all customers.
RoseHosting
RoseHosting is one of the better hosts that I’ve come across. The shared hosting and VPS plans really stand out, and scalability isn’t a problem either. Add them to your list for sure, but you’ll also want to shop around and be careful of those optional extras.
