Dokku is good but I prefer CaptainRover (previously CaptainDuckDuck). It solves lots of problem I had with dokku in the past.

What problems were those? We (currently, though this will change _very_ soon) do not have HA support, but otherwise I'd hope that any issues you've had are things we've resolved, or that there are open tickets for them. Note: I'm the maintainer of Dokku. Feel free to reach out privately with any thoughts as well :)

If I restart the server, domain mapping doesn't work properly. I have to stop every container and then restart them again to point to correct domains.

I hope it has been fixed.

I used lowendbox[0] to find great deals. Then, I automated buying a ton of them into one bill as they generally don't allow you to bulk buy (which lead to a failed bill as it broke their billing. This lead their sales team to contact me to discuss my usage. Then they provided me with a better quote than the one on Lowendbox). I wrote $15 / yr as that's the "discounted" price on Lowendbox. But if you bulk buy or buy w…

For what it's worth, last time I checked pretty much every host on lowendbox is a customer from ColoCrossing (the owner of the site, data center owner) and there's recently been some shady stuff happening over at LowEndTalk (basically forum side) of spammers and other hosts being unbanned by CC (as they own both sites, and operate LEB, LET is mostly operated by volunteers) , and just recently one host offering 3 year…

Thanks for the heads up!

I had noticed that almost all of them had the exact same website, emails and billing software. I assumed that it was like how all sites using Wordpress are essentially the same if you take away the flashy JS stuff.

I am currently paying for a year and if all goes well, maybe update to a 3 yr contract. My plan is to architect the cloud in a way that I can immediately migrate / scale to GCP at the first sign of trouble - so my data / customers etc. should ideally not have issues. But from a cost standup, it's definitely going to be difficult.
