You really need to pay attention to the underlying technology that each company has built their offering upon. It could be virtual machines, could be AWS, could be "virtual-machine style" containerization, could be "Docker style" application-orientation. You need to do "due diligence" to find out whether-or-not they suit your needs. For instance, start with finding out whether they offer " ssh logins to a Unix/Linux shell." Do they "host websites" using Apache, or nginix? Do they use "mod_this-or-that," or are they ready to handle "vanilla CGI?" Hosting companies have specialized in order to best support the particular market segment that they are aiming at. (And, quite frankly, "the market" is no longer on your side.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
