Does anyone have any preference when it comes to web hosting?

I've been using GoDaddy for a couple years, and my server has been up 100% of
the time, from what I can tell. They now allow you to select your server with
geographic preference, and despite what some people say, it's made a
significant difference for me using a USA server vs using a Singapore server.

It's come time for me to upgrade to HTTPS, and GoDaddy charges way too much
for their certificate (like $80 a year,) so I'm seeking a cheaper
alternative, but I really love the speediness and reliability of the server
that I'm on.

It's hard to choose where to go. I like Dreamhost's option to use "Let's
Encrypt," a free alternative to paying for a certificate. However, Dreamhost
has some drawbacks. I like paying up in advance, as there's often a nice
discount if you do, but wouldn't it suck if I paid for like 3 years of
hosting and then had poor performance?
