I am selfhosting a lot of stuff, but some things are on good old DreamHost instead, for reasons of reliability and such. I’m sure many of you are in a similar position.

I’ve been extremely happy with DreamHost since ~28 years but various reasons prompt me to look for EU options. I am not looking for just plain stupid webhosting (not VPS) but the options I see are so limited: limited subdomains, limited mailboxes, limited databases, limited everything. DH has always offered “unlimited everything” for a few dollars per month, that’s an insanely good offering.

Still, if you could recommend a good EU webhosting provider, what would you say?

      Seconding Hetzner. I recently went on a bibge and moved as many services away from US based companies over to EU based ones, Hetzner being my choice for webhosting, S3 storage and VPS (which I rarely need thanks to my homelab).

      I used a NetCup VPS for a while but it would repeatedly have terrible performance, presumably because whoever I was sharing the server with was hammering the machine.

        I rent the ARM VPS in Nürnberg, cheap and high performance. I don’t have any issues. Last time I had issues was with Contabo VPS. My main server is a dedicated one at Hetzner. Can recommend this one too.

    I see you have a bunch of good answers now, so I’ll ask; if you are comfortable self hosting, why not consider a VPS? Yes it can be a little bit of maintenance, but it’s very minimal and you get far more flexibility and the ability to further develop those selfhosting chops.

    I use both IONOS for domains and webhosting and a VPS from Host Unlimited, they also offer webhosting, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’m happy with both. Host unlimited apparently has a tier with unlimited mailboxes.

    Do you want all of that to be managed (DB, mailboxes, web-hosting,…) or just reliable hardware in “the cloud”?

    For the latter, Hetzner.
