Dreamhost is no longer the hosting company that I originally signed up for. I'm also looking for a different host.

I might have been willing to stick it out, but their panel/website-management is so slow.

I love their shared hosting; I have a $100/year account with dozens of little low traffic apps in their own subdomain/user isolation. They maintain the OS, I maintain the app, I can pull code with git and even compile a python interpreter if I need.

I love that I have infinite/unmetered email accounts. In practice I run 3-4 accounts on 2-4 domains, but they don't nickel and dime you on it, I've literally setup 1200 forwarders in the past. They have a good sending reputation.

What other provider does this as well?

have you tried digital ocean? some friends I have swear by them as good

Yes, they're in my rotation as well (I never want to have just one provider.) But I liked that DH would maintain the OS, the shared hosting performance never bit me (my sites are all highly performant, no wordpress dogs) so all of my time would be in patching vulns. DH giving me no-root access to a hardened, performant box is ideal all around.

Porkbun has been fine, used dreamhost for years prior
