   @clayton yeah! We migrated all our (4) sites to their shared hosting about a month ago.

   We're just using shared hosting, but it's load balanced across 3 nodes, which is pretty rad. Not tried a VPS with them yet. Got one domain registered with them.

   They have a custom built admin panel for managing your sites. The interface is a bit rough around the edges, but hey, at least they totally own it. Occassionally parts of the panel haven't been translated into English.

      Support response time is medium-ish I'd say so far, via email. I haven't had to contact them in an emergency. They're helpful enough. You usually correspond to the same people each time which is nice.

      Shared hosting supports ssh'ing in and has basic stuff like git installed. They support ed25519 which is good, surprisingly not all hosts have.

      Hard to beat them on ethics, full package of giving a shit about both the environment and digital rights.

         @clayton We had a brief period where the sites were going down for short periods overnight.
         GreenHost said it was another user of the shared hosting who were hammering the servers at certain times. I'm not too happy about that as a reason, but I guess it happens on shared hosting? Anyway GreenHost asked the rogue site to fix it or they would terminate their service, and we haven't had a problem since then (about a week ago).
