I want to know who is hosting thier directory on a vps?
If so how is the performance?
Also what host and plan?
I use InMotion. The service is decent but they bait you in with a low price then increase it.
We use SiteGround (US) - love their service and their hostingplans and the performance is very good due to their own caching solution.

I use google cloud console. You can choose where to host and price is much more less. I recomend to use it. You can even set small server for free. Any way google gives you 300$ creddit and it is enough for a year
