It depends on the size of your store, the number of products, the location of your target audience, the level of help you require and many more.

Most of the replies are speaking about the target audience. Trust me, the location of the server does not matter as you will see very few ms deviations. That can be avoided if you use CloudFlare or a better CDN.

I always prefer clustered environment for M2 as it is too powerful and also to ensure high availability. 

So just pick some well-known provider like AWS, Google, Linode, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr, Kamatera

All the host I have mentioned above maintains 99.999% uptime. Just choose the one which is in your budget and hire some pro to build your M2 infra.

I do build my own infra for all my M2.

The first and topmost priority should be to look for all the requirements that a Magento store needs. Cloud hosting is a recommended solution.

Then you can look for these factors

• Nearest data center to your targeted location
• Security and optimization features like CDN and Varnish
• Server uptime and Support
• Ease of use
• Addons features (Like Free SSL)
• Backups
• Pricing
• Scalability

The choice of hosting solution for your online store depends on factors such as store size, product range, target audience location, and support requirements. Common options include  VPS hosting (more control and scalability), dedicated server hosting (maximum control and performance), and cloud hosting (scalability for fluctuating traffic). Consider factors like budget, traffic, and technical needs when deciding.

Hello,

It also depends on your skill level, the volume of sales, and if you are running solo, or with a team. You also have to factor in what type of business you run, and what level of privacy and flexibility you want for long term. Additionally, how you run your development operation is also a very important consideration. 

As a DIY hybrid hosting solutions provider on AWS, our customers range from small businesses to mega 150K+ users rushing the store on opening sale day. A lot of our customers are x Shopify, and decided to move to AWS for more privacy and control. If you are in a high-risk business, you also have more options where you can regionally operate. 

Keep in perspective, if a hosting company is trying so hard to get your business, you may want to look elsewhere. The best hosting companies are the ones customers keep quiet. Why? Because they don't want their competition finding out. Fact!
