- No "one-click" install of some 3rd party apps
Sadly, that's a tough one. You either need to build your own (Vultr + cPanel/CWP + Softaculous) or you need a full on web hosting environment like ASO (not ASO, just like that.)
There has to be a "great" version of ASO or A2???
Maybe there really is a market gap? Is that possible?
Maybe it exists & we just don't know who?
That's what I'm saying... seems impossible that this does not exist. It's not the hardest service to provide, but I never hear about anyone offering something really great.
This is why I've stayed with Viviotech.net even after getting away from a ColdFusion based web app. The base VM is the right size for our site. cPanel was originally included in the price, but is now an optional add on. Our hosting dropped to 1/4 what it was with a Windows Server + ColdFusion package. We moved to Viviotech when the previous hosting company went all "cloud" and was going to double our monthly cost.

@FATeknollogee I'm with Hawkhost for my basic sites, they have been great for many years and have much respect over on the web hosting talk forums.
for this type of project I use a vps or my dedicated server. I personally wouldn't want to run owncloud on a shared web hosting, plus many shared hosts put in their t&c's about not using the account for storage purposes.

@StuartJordan Who hosts your VPS & ded server?
-
@FATeknollogee - I'm with https://www.linode.com/ for my VPS and https://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/hosting/ for my dedicated server.

The CloudFlare DNS is always free. It is their CDN that has paid tiers.

The free plan also include CDN.
I've been looking to make the move to CloudFlare myself for DNS but here's a question for those who already use it. The "Client maximum upload size", if Cloudflare hosts your DNS records, are you then running in a "off Cloudflare" mode to allow file uploads larger than 100MB? Just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly.

No shared hosting provider is going to want you to use there shared hosting offering for file storage.

Yes, but it has the paid tiers.

If you turn off CloudFlare features for a URL, then CloudFlare neither sees nor controls that traffic. It is literally "off" and only a DNS service.

What are costs like?And vice versa, we've had many clients go down because of Azure stability problems (software, not hardware). We won't touch it or recommended it. Very high price, very low quality of service. Everyone makes mistakes but their ability to address them was terrible. And we've had hundreds of Azure consultants say they've had the same problem.

That was my first thought as well.

I haven't looked at the $$, what seems to be the problem?

$45/month for 1GB RAM and 20GB SSD storage. We're paying $50/month for 3GB RAM and 50GB SSD storage at viviotech.net, and the only reason I stay with them is their amazing support. You'd be getting 1/3 the RAM and less than half the storage, and I know we're paying to much for the service. In the case of Viviotech I know that extra cost is for the tech support that comes with it.
You can get a VPS from vultr.com for $5 with 1GB ram and 25GB SSD. For us, and equivalent vultr.com VPS would be the $20/month one, what we'd loose is the cPanel and additional support. Even viviotech.net isn't that much more money that vultr when not using the cPanel addon.
