If anyone is interested, signing in using https://my.frantech.ca/aff.php?aff=626 will give me one free month of hosting.I am using frantech.ca for more than a year, and only got a couple hours of downtime. One day a RAID disk died, my server went offline for 4 hours, but I haven't lost any data.And they are cheap. I managed to get a 256MB KVM VPS 250GB Dedicated Space 2500GB Transfer for under USD 6/mo.Mauro

I have been using Linode for ~15 years and can't say anything bad
about them. They are great. But there have been a few rough patches
the in the past three years (the source code for their VPS management
console got leaked on the internet).
I'm a little scared of DigitalOcean after reading about them on Hacker
News. Apparently when the server has a hardware failure it's protocol
for them to delete all VPS on the server and make everyone start from
scratch (they do provided a backup services but it cost extra money).
I run a small dokku instance on DO and it has never happened to me.
