Well... there's a difference between what's on paper and what actually works;
also, many hosting providers charge quite a bit for the privilege, while others
offer it included and with great service to boot.

During my "shopping spree" half a year ago, I found vultr and ifog to be among
the best, to be affordable, and also having decent global coverage. They also
(both) have really good support. Additional shout-out to first root, if you want
to host in Düsseldorf ;-)

Interested in more useful providers (aka "working, affordable, usable").

Elmar.

PS: I went through the list at https://bgp.services - thank you for providing
    that service, even if some on the list turned out more complicated/useless
    than expected ;-)
