I am working for a very small website for someone I know and they're looking for a web host.<p>For the past few years, all I do is run work on cloud instances and servers that I really have no idea who are good web hosts for small websites anymore. Just the good old shared web hosting.<p>My needs:
- A web server (obviously)
- Email server
- Be able to run Rake (I will use Sinatra for a small part)<p>What is a good, reliable and cheap web hosting company?<p>(Please not GoDaddy. That's all I get when I do Google searches).
I built my startup to help answer this question. <a href="http://reviewsignal.com" rel="nofollow">http://reviewsignal.com</a><p>It's aggregating and analyzing the opinions people are sharing about many of the big guys on social media. So you can see the results of over 40,000 opinions about GoDaddy (not good) and many of their competitors. Take a look at the 'Compare' page to get a more full list. I hope that helps you in your search.<p>If you have any feedback please let me know.
