I'm curious which host you'd recommend. I want a good host for making websites. Not sure if I need to be a reseller or just use their shared hosting. I'm hoping to create lots of static websites for different small businesses, and then cheaply host them. Considering Namecheap, DreamHost, and BlueHost, but I'm also hoping there's one that allows nudity (not porn, just artistic nudity). Or if there's a host that allows any content, that's a plus.

I've been trying to find non-Amazon or non-Google hosting options, wanting to spend my money elsewhere. Is this a waste of time or effort? I imagine that cloud hosting with Google would be less restrictive, though more complicated to setup.

Thanks for any ideas




NearlyFreeSpeech.NET has strong free-speech policies. But they do expect you to be technically competent. If you're not comfortable with the command line and wp-cli (if you're using WordPress), you probably won't be happy with them.

If you checked them out years ago, they've since added support for custom HTTP servers. It's not as flexible as a VPS, but they're no longer limited to static files, PHP, or CGI. You can now run Django, Ruby-on-Rails, etc.
