[talk] Hosting Recommendations - email/web

[Firecrow]

Hi Charles,

Here is what I use, its just my personal, all be it rather complex for one 
person (2 vps, 12 domains, 3 email domains 6 inboxes etc.).

Fastmail for email hosting, great admin preferences

DigitalOcean for vps (FreeBSD) 2 hosts resonably priced

DigitalOcean for nameservers

Hope that helps
