Best web hosting for a startup?

Any quick thoughts on what web hosting service to use? Starting a new e-commerce site and with so many options, I'm just overwhelmed. Leaning towards AWS or Google Cloud but open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Yo, for a new e-commerce site, definitely think about managed services like Shopify or BigCommerce. They handle all the technical stuff, and you can focus on marketing and selling. Trust me; when you're scaling fast, having less tech maintenance is a godsend!

Why not just host it on your own PC at home? I’m sure the best servers run under your desk, lol. 😆

AWS vs. Google Cloud? They're both solid, but AWS has more services and maturity. However, Google Cloud offers fantastic machine learning and data analytics tools. For web hosting and scalability, AWS's Elastic Beanstalk or Google's App Engine are amazing choices. Consider your long-term tech plans, though. It might steer your choice.

If you just need hosting for an e-commerce site and not planning on leveraging cloud services like AI or big data, maybe just go with something simple like Shopify or Squarespace. Saves you from the hassle of backend management, especially if you're not tech-savvy.

Why not consider cheaper options like Bluehost or SiteGround? They might not have all the bells and whistles of AWS or Google Cloud, but they're pretty reliable for small to medium businesses just starting out. You can always scale to the big players when your needs grow.

Heard a lot of good things about DigitalOcean for startups. They offer simplicity and performance at reasonable prices. Might be worth checking out instead of diving straight into the grand giants like AWS or GCP.

If you're considering AWS or Google Cloud, both are great, but it depends on what specific needs you have. AWS has tons of services and flexibility, but it can be complex if you're new to cloud infra. Google Cloud is a bit more user-friendly and integrates well if you plan to use any Google services or APIs.
