## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Cloud hosting for remote teams" splits into two different needs, so here's both - infrastructure your distributed team deploys to, then the remote-desktop side if that's what you meant.
> 
> ## Infrastructure hosting (app/site hosting your team manages together)
> 
> 1. **DigitalOcean** - my default recommendation for a small-to-mid remote team. Flat predictable pricing, a genuinely clean control panel, team accounts with per-member roles, and the best documentation in the industry, which matters a lot when your team is async and people need to self-serve answers at 2am in their timezone. A 16 vCPU/64 GB droplet runs ~$504/mo. ([DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/resources/article/hetzner-alternatives), [ServerMania](https://blog.servermania.com/top-cloud-hosting-provider))
> 
> 2. **Hetzner** - by far the best price/performance if your team is comfortable doing more ops themselves. The same 16 vCPU/64 GB box is ~$325/mo vs ~$560 on AWS/Azure - roughly $2,800/yr saved on one machine. Object storage is ~$0.0068/GB-month vs AWS's $0.023. Caveat: fewer managed services, and data centers concentrated in Germany/Finland plus Virginia, so latency matters if your team or users are in APAC. (
