I was thinking about your experiences with hosting companies. I myself have also used reseller hosting for a while but have switched to my own Dedicated servers in recent years. Pure that I can set my own rules and manage the server myself. I have also had bad experiences with certain companies in the past, but also good experiences with some. I am also curious about your experience. Let me know what kind of experiences you had with your Shared, Reseller (Master and/or Alpha), VPS (OVZ/KVM), Colo, Dedicated etc..

I’ve previously used HelioHost before I even thought a free VPS was possible (I don’t have a credit card to buy myself a VPS, otherwise I would’ve done so ages ago).

Unlike other hosts that put in a lot of limitations to force you to upgrade (even if the limitations have absolutely NOTHING to do with consuming resources), HelioHost doesn’t do that.

They are a non-profit and have no paid plans, their web hosting is completely free. And because of that, putting in limitations to get you to upgrade isn’t a thing because they simply don’t have any paid plans to force you to upgrade to! 

The result would be a web host with tons of features that I’ve never ever seen enabled on any other free host. For a matter of fact, their limitations are so minor and those are only to allow more space for other users to be able to register an account.

However, now that I finally have a VPS, I host everything on it rather than any other web host. That allowed me to fully “break free” from all the limitations and was a much needed upgrade.
