All of my personal domains and when I have the choice of registrar are
registered with Dreamhost. I've been with them going on 10 years now. I
have used their unlimited hosting and liked it, along with their email,
until Digital Ocean came along.
Thanks for the reminder to check out their vps services.

For general hosting, mail, and domain hosting i use a fully managed
hosting account at dreamhost. they run my mail and web services (doing
a good job) and its 120/year. I also can build you a coupon to cut the
first year in half. then they also have AWS and cloud compute services
as well as virtual host options that you can mix and match. and they
are LetsEnrypt enabled with automatic renewals for any domains you
host with them. so far it has been a very nice service.

The million dollar question for me is what is everyone doing for a
mail server. I do not want to run a mail server nor do i want to
pay $10 per vhost for a mail server.

I have been using Digital Ocean for several years now and I have
dozens
of droplets running Centos. My typical scenario consists of
spinning up
a droplet, configuring it for lamp, and developing to my clients
specs.
All development is done locally and then moved to the droplet for
client
testing and everything else that comes along with consulting.
Once everything is completed and the client is happy, in every
case, I
have then moved the application to a different web host, such as
Rackspace or GoDaddy, depending on what the client requests or
their
ability to self-manage...
In all the years I have worked with these hosts, along with others
like
Bluehost and Hostgator, I have had significantly less problems with
my
Digital Ocean virtual hosts than I have on any of the other
"professional" hosting companies.
I'm currently spending ~$1200 a month with Rackspace and have
constant
issues, almost daily outages, and my dev servers for the same
application on DO have been up for months. (Some issues are purely
network related which is out of my control and Rackspace does not
want
to acknowledge any issues, and some are purely because some people
in
China want to be my friend...)
Is anyone else using DO for production environments? I guess my
real
issue is I've not used DO with a major application under sustained
heavy
load (cpu/memory/network).
I won't use anyone else but DigitalOcean for my production
workloads.
The rest - Rackspace, Amazon, Azure, etc. - are too damned
expensive,
too damned flaky, and don't even come close to the level of
customer
service I get from DO.
