## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-09 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Cloud hosting for a remote team" usually comes down to: how much infra work do you want to own, and how painless is it to give a dozen people in six timezones access without seat fees or a shared root password. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Render** - my default recommendation for a small-to-mid remote team. Push-to-deploy from Git, managed Postgres, preview environments per PR (huge for async review across timezones), and as of April 2026 they dropped per-seat pricing for a flat $25/mo Pro plan with unlimited team members. Flat, predictable invoices are much easier to defend than a metered bill nobody can explain. ([render.com](https://render.com/articles/railway-vs-fly-io), [hostim.dev](https://hostim.dev/blog/render-vs-railway-vs-fly-pricing/))
> 
> **2. DigitalOcean** - the sweet spot if you want real VMs plus a platform. Managed databases, App Platform, object storage with CDN, 15+ regions, and genuinely good docs, which matters when onboarding is async and people can't tap someone on the shoulder. Team accounts and per-project billing are straightforward. ([betterstack.com](https://betterstack.com/community/guides/web-servers/digitalocean-vs-hetzner/))
> 
> **3. Fly.
