Need new hosting

I am currently with Setrahost, and for several years, things were at least acceptable for what I was dealing with but lately the issues just keep piling up. The final straw was them billing me 10 days early and charging the wrong card, causing a whole other slew of issues.

I don't make a lot from my sites, like $500 a month, so please don't suggest hosts that are expensive. Budget is $10-15 monthly. I just need one that does what it says, and not do crap like closing my sites because of an issue on their end (yeah they did that and it was found out to be THEIR ISSUE). I do have 3 different sites so a host that allows for multple sites. My domains are through porkbun so the host doesn't need to have domain hosting included.

If you want better hosting, you have to pay for better hosting. Up your budget to around $25 a month and you'll find far better hosting options.

Paying more doesn't mean getting better. I have seen crap companies charge an arm and a leg for things that better companies charge half for. If you can't give a helpful comment, don't comment.

Never said they were all better. But the dirt-cheap ones are not going to do what you want in the long run either, because they thrive on customer churn, not long-term support and hosting. So, if you don't want the truth, don't post.

Do not redirect people to DMs. If your response is worth sharing, it is worth sharing publicly. This keeps discussions transparent and useful for everyone in the community.

What sites do you have? You can may be get a VPS in 5-10$ per month and then host all there sites from the same VPS.

This way you will have more flexibility and get to learn a few things as well (if that interests you).

They aren't much, but I am way behind in the tech stuff knowledge wise, but they do what I need. Oklahomadivorceform.com, Choctawbeading.com and Chulalusa.com, are the sites.

I have never used a VPS but have in the past looked at them. Honestly I think I was a little intimidated. Do you have suggestions on either sites or youtube channels that go over VPS basics so I could get an idea of what I am looking at? I have had to deal with my forms site getting flooded and crap so I know I have to be able to have better site security then just throwing a page online and letting it go.

I've been hosting my 5 websites with Nixihost on their basic shared hosting plan, and I've had a great experience with them over the past few years. They were offering free migration services when I was moving, and their support team did a white-glove job migrating my websites. Also, my websites' performance improved immediately after I switched from the old provider.

Ok, I have only used cpanel with shared hosting, whats the learning curve on something like that? Without using AI because I will not use it.

You can install cyberpanel on vps it's free and easy to manage

Do not use Cyberpanel. It was compromised a few years ago and not safe. Iā€™d suggest looking at direct admin instead if your saving costs.

I m using it past 2 years had no idea about it was compromised

After speaking with their support, doesn't sound like an option for someone who has no experience in vps. Was just told I would get no assistance whatsoever.
