As a developer who wants to maximize control in terms of hosting, what should I look for in a web host?
- What are some web hosting services you would recommend?
- For hosting a low to moderate traffice website, is a VPS generall enough?
- What should I avoid if I want to maximize control?
- Which web hosting services should I avoid?
- What exactly is this cPanel thing I keep seeing?
- Do I even want to maximize control?
- What should I be wary of when choosing a host and a hosting plan?
As much as I've learned about developing a website, I'm still a bit clueless with respect to setting one up on anything other than the various free static site services around the web, such as github pages and similar.
Oh, and lastly, if I get into just playing around with a VPS, what are the general limitations of those services?
Actual lastly, do you have any good links to guides detailing this side of web development? Something meant for developers who usually have their head in the code, but whom are mostly clueless about everything else?
