What Reddit says

DreamHost

Reddit users are mostly discussing a late-October DreamHost incident in which email and FTP/SFTP passwords were expired, with no cause named in the posts. One user who chose DreamHost for a small site says its Remixer AI website builder made setup easy.

FluentBooking

Only two Reddit threads mention FluentBooking directly, so the evidence is thin. One user chose it alongside Fluent Forms because it can calculate a booking price from form answers, which standalone booking systems could not, while the other thread is a request to share a lifetime licence.
