I'm looking for inexpensive hosting for my web site and mail server.
Debian would be nice. SSH and rsync over SSH access. The web site is
low traffic, mostly static HTML with some light PHP. IMAP email for two
or three accounts. I handle DNS separately but that could be included.
Any suggestions, recommendations?
FWIW, I use Dreamhost, and as far as I can recall, they can handle
everything you're looking for. Cost is about $190 per year, unlimited
domains. Don't know how that compares to others.
There used to be a website, https://researchashobby.com, which detailed
one particular company which had bought up tons of hosting companies
(like networksolutions.com and register.com), and made them crappy. The
company was EIG, and they bought up every hosting company they could
find. The researchashobby site appears to be gone, but EIG (rebranded as
Newfold Digital) does have a Wikipedia article. The article is weak on
including all the owned hosting companies.
I hope the list gods won't mind-- I've attached a markdown file I
composed long ago, based on researchashobby's articles.

Apologies to the list. The website I mentioned IS working, and I simply
mistyped it. It is https://researchasahobby.com .
