So here's the thing about finding a good hosting provider — most of the time you end up on some massive platform where you're just ticket number #48291, your server's in some mystery datacenter in who-knows-where, and the "99.9% uptime" promise quietly evaporates the first time you need it.
Then there's Airnode.
It's a Dutch hosting company running out of Amsterdam, small enough that the CEO apparently pops up in support chats personally, and cheap enough that the entry-level VPS starts at €4.99/month. That combination is either a red flag or a hidden gem. After looking at what real customers say and what they're actually offering, it's pretty clearly the latter.
