[ale] Replacing shared host?

[James Sumners]

I use vultr.com ( kickback link -- https://www.vultr.com/?ref=6889759 ) and
have not had any issues. I have been using them February of 2016 when I had
enough of Linode getting hacked on an annual basis. The nice thing about
Vultr is you can load any OS you like without having to contact their
support to get them to attach the ISO to your VM. Very handy when you are a
person that insists on running stuff that isn't in the traditional
Ubuntu/CentOS list.
