[ale] Replacing shared host?

[Beddingfield, Allen]

I highly recommend Vultr.  Never had an issue, and they are one of the 
few that will allow you to upload your own ISO and interactively install 
the OS. If you don't want to do that, you can use one of their images.

I use Vultr for VM hosting, Enom for DNS, and I have a paid account with 
ProtonMail for e-mail (got tired of trying to run my own mail server).

All have been good experiences.
