[ale] I'm looking for a good shared hosting web host

[Jason van Gumster]

For what it's worth, I've been using Dreamhost for the last 15 years for about a dozen sites or so. All of them are pretty low traffic and most don't demand all that much of the server... though I recently have starting partially hosting a little web app there, too (with some serverless functions offloaded to Digital Ocean). In any case, they have just about everything in your list and haven't really ever done me wrong.
