This is my current host, and the amount of power that you get is crazy, yet there is still an amazing amount of help that you get through the online tutorials as well. The price is good too!

Amazon Web Services S3

Tristan IshamCo-Founder of Cloudy · Written
AWS is easy, cheap, and reliably runs the majority of the web. If you can get over the technical bits it's a great way to host any website, app, or database. Plus, for some of the products, you get your first year free. S3 is the product you'd use to host a static website. I personally use it for my portfolio site and since it's pure hosting you can really add whatever you want with html to it however you'd like.

You never have to worry about scaling if you use Google. It works for people building a personal website all the way up to Snapchat-scale applications.

Join the static website revolution. Now with more CMS.

EASY, BEAUTIFUL, SIMPLE! Deploy & host JavaScript, Docker, or static projects with one terminal command. Zeit (the maker), is like the Apple of DevOps and developer tools.

Heroku

Cloud application platform

If you're not really interested in doing your own server management / devops I highly recommend using a platform such as Heroku. I've been using it for my pet projects, since I started programming many years ago, and it's just super straight forward.

Firebase

App success made simple by google

Kunal Bhatia22Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp · Written
I used to use eApps for most of my hosting (still a good service with fast support), but now write apps and design websites that I deploy to Firebase. Free https and you can redirect to your own domain. Starts for free.

Rock solid hosting. Main competitor to Digital Ocean I feel.

Namecheap is my favorite. If you're looking for something simple for your websites, it's perfect. For a bigger project, might not be best though. Also their support is fantastic.

Just found out this hosting service by Amazon. It seems to be alternative to Digital Ocean.
