Hosting on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or other providers

At this moment our website is running on a hosting website from One.Com.
This works fine and is not too expensive but has its limitations. So we are looking at alternatives.
I am sure some of you have experiences with one of the big companies or local hosting providers.
What we look for is:
- website with PHP and MySql
- ability to mail with either PhPMail or an open port so we can connect to the our SMTP server in Office365
- (S) FTP access with multiple users
- SSH access
- managed hosting has our preferences (so we do not have to patch the OS, PhP and MySql). We'll patch the (Joomla) website ourselves

I find it difficult to estimate how much data access we have per day/week/month. Our hosting provider does not really give us these numbers.

Can anybody recommend a hosting provider or cloud solution ?

Hi Robert,
for security reasons I have my own server cluster in the Brennercom datacenter in Bolzano.
Do you have any idea what the traffic of the site is?
I suspect that major part are the downloads.

P.S. if you don't have a root server (that would be another possibility) it may be difficult to have SSH access.

Robert,

I use a company in the US called InterServer.

https://www.interserver.net

Their support is excellent and their pricing is great. They have various packages.

Good luck!

I'm with hetzner.com for many years. Might be worth a Look.
