There are some cloud hosting providers like:
Google, Amazon, DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, etc
- You need to learn sysadmin stuff to manage the server.
- Pricing - DO, Linode, and Vultr, are cheapest among all.
- Flexibility - Google & Amazon has more flexibility.
- Adaptability - Amazon has the most significant market share
- Uptime - Google & Amazon, however, Linode and DO are also considered as the best uptime provider in affordable rates.
- Data-centers - Each provider has their own globally located data-centers.
While choosing a cloud provider, my preferred choice would be in this sequence:
1. Data-center
2. Pricing
3. Adaptability
Since I'm not familiar with the sysadmin stuff enough. I will search for a managed cloud hosting solution.
