[Discuss] Report on moving web hosting

[Greg Rundlett (freephile)]

Congrats on your move.

I'm moving a (Wordpress) site from DreamHost to Digital Ocean.  One reason
is that DreamHost is noticeably slow.  They give out free hosting to
certified non-profits, but what they give out is really not worth the
price.  The site is for a non-profit that I volunteer for (
http://coastaltrails.org).  The site was actually first hosted at
wordpress.com. The thing that made me setup Wordpress and pay for hosting
was to be able to install additional plugins and integrations which you
can't do under the wordpress.com "software as a service" version. For a
straightforward and easy solution, the free hosting at wordpress.com can't
be beat.

I've used Linode in the past and have no complaints.  Digital Ocean has
been very good so far.
