I like to enjoy full control of the server so I use a VPS, or in past I've had dedicated servers. Currently I pay around $48/mo for a droplet on DigitalOcean, and another server on Ionos.com for $15/mo.
I'm currently on Namecheap shared plan, took a deal for like $30 for a year and unlimited domains on cpanel. Using it as a start then I'll probably go to ovh or leaseweb vps like in the old days, never had issues there
Right now I'm on a cheap host, since my previous host broke our contract without warning us. Good thing I had a backup from earlier that week...
Currently, I'm on A2Hosting on their 3/mo plan. But since our community is very low traffic/activity, it'll meet our needs for a while. Once we start getting to the point where it's active enough to warrant a VPS, I'll look for a affordable managed VPS (since I'm not super technical on the backend).
