Which cloud hosting service do you use/recommend?

Interested to hear which cloud services people use for their projects. Appreciate not everyone uses them, just interested to see what people prefer or prefer to stay away from as the case may be.

I use Digital Ocean in the main since 2013 I don't recall so much as a blip. Also started using Vultr for a couple of things. If I had a group of preferred providers they would be;

Digital Ocean

Vultr

Hetzner

Linode

Look also at vapor for aws. It's not hosting but supposed to be real helpful.

I usually see Digital Ocean, aws, Linode talked about here more than any others.

Vapor does look good, never really understood the 'Serverless Deployment' tagline, its not serverless :) But anyway, AWS is a good suggestion. I have used it in the past but always found the performance to be lacking in comparison to Digital Ocean and others.
