[ale] Replacing shared host?

[Simba]

When was that? I've been using them since 2013 and I've never experienced more professional treatment from a low cost tech service. I run dozens of servers and have had zero issues. Performance is consistent and fast.

And you dont pay more for less. That's what AWS and GCP are. Vultr and D.O. are basically the same in terms of price.
