[ale] Replacing shared host?

[Jerald Sheets]

When doing something for myself, I just use my home Comcast Business and my own hardware.

For more important, customers, business, etc., I use Linode or DO. If corporate work for a customer, I offer AWS, GCP, or Azure.

For my personal tech blog, it’s Octopress on GitHub pages.
