Recommended Hosting Providers for Self Hosters

I’ve been using Hetzner’s servers for years. Very satisfied with it. Their back end interface is also very well made. They are fairly cheap with good specs.

I find that their ARM servers are performing much better than x86 for running Discourse. Though I didn’t run extensive tests, from what I saw, with comparison between servers with the same specs and different architectures, I got faster page loadings and way faster rebuilds (up to twice as fast).
I don’t know why.

I’m only bothered by the fact that I must rely on a mail-receiver fork to get it working on ARM (which has caused no trouble so far).
