Best host/server

I very much like and recommend KnownHost.

https://www.knownhost.com/

KnownHost has excellent technical support via support ticket system.

For very small forums the shared (Professional Web Hosting) cost $19.95 per month which includes cPanel.

For medium sized forums the managed VPS is an excellent choice. I suggest getting WHM/cPanel. There are 4 VPS offering which work very well.

what do you all think of whose preferred here?

We're doing affiliate links now? This looks like advertising to me. I think known host is the best one as many have mentioned. They are in Alabama. I have three different servers with them.

The only reason I would not recommend them would be if you don't need support and you have your own team. Otherwise, going with loan host is a super safe bet.
 
I use a small Canadian-based host called Crocweb but that's mostly to keep our data on home soil (with a couple exceptions, my members are Canadian residents). They are okay for shared hosting but only recently got their VPS offering up after having it as Coming Soon for years so not sure I would be ready to use them for VPS if I was going that route. Also, can be a bit laggy with updates (I had to bug to get MariaDB onto a supporting build).

I used Crocweb shared hosting years ago before I moved to my own VPS and never had any issues with them. They were quite good hosts.
