Asko P. Research for my new project: what are some cons and pros you've found with shared hosting providers?

Martijn A pro, like @ancarda has mentioned, is that I should not need to know (or care) about server configurations. Firewalls should be in place, caching should be a toggle, that sort of thing. A con is that more and more packages assume easy access to package managers for installing things. I need SSH access if I want to install things through composer, bower, etc. Very few shared hosting providers offer me that. (Mine does.)

Asko P. If you don't mind me asking, what does a hosting provider like yours charge (specifically for the plan that has SSH access). I offer SSH access (while limited to the user' home directory) with what you can install and do whatever you want (in the scope of the user' home directory, of course).

Martijn It's pay-what-you-want over at uberspace.de, and I can use Linux Homebrew or Toast (wiki.uberspace.de/...) to install things. One of the things I am running is ZNC, for my IRC bouncer.
