About the category

Hosting for developers in the USA

A curated selection: Hosting for developers in the USA. We picked providers matching these criteria and sorted them by rating and real reviews.

What matters about this combination of criteria: Developers need root access, OS choice and an API for automation. US data centres suit American audiences and Forex on NYSE/NASDAQ.

Bottom line: for most projects in Ukraine the ideal VPS means NVMe storage, a 99.9%+ SLA, a convenient panel and support in your language. Start with the ranking leaders above and compare them side by side.

How we test

  • 1We measure performance across plans

Frequently asked questions

PHP 8.1 or newer. Old 7.x is slower, gets no security updates and is no longer supported by some CMSs. Good hosting lets you switch the version in the panel.
For most sites there's no difference — MariaDB is a compatible MySQL fork. Both work with WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart. A current version (MySQL 8 / MariaDB 10.6+) and an NVMe disk matter more.
A KVM VPS with root access, any-OS choice, the ability to upload a custom ISO and an API/CLI for code-based management. NVMe disks speed up builds and database work.
Yes, some providers offer hourly billing — handy for test environments needed for a few hours. Create, test, delete — you pay only for the runtime.
When your audience is in America, you run a SaaS targeting the US market or Forex robots on NYSE/NASDAQ. A US server gives minimal latency for American users.
120–160 ms depending on location (East Coast is closer). It's imperceptible for regular sites but noticeable for real-time apps — for a UA audience, Europe is better.

Bad

Псоледнее время начал портится, проблемы с почтой, урезают предоставляемый функционал. Советую подумать перед тем как подключатся. Долго ими пользовался, все было супер, но щас начали портится.
