  • v6node
    TNAhosting
    Liteserver
    St-hosting
    Vultr

    Good support, acceptable price, suitable for production.

  • Clouvider - got 50% off on their VPS from a stable company that isn't run like a shitshow and has a great network

    Crunchbits - nice server, decent folks, food bank promotion was very generous of them - great way to build brand loyalty. They went a bit crazy with their auctions, I doubt they will repeat that.

  • Would be easier to say how the bottom five are, but I wouldn't provide it. Instead I'll give you six not already mentioned that might be worth considering, each for different reasons, but all are generally viewed relatively positively by most I'd guess. In alphabetical order:

    Go for it, it'll be fun. Unlike those pansy mods, I don't mind a bit of derailment.

  • Crunchbits
    Speedypage
    AlphaVPS
    Atomic Networks
    HostEONS

    Great folks that provide a great service.

    Business, mission-critical stuff - I'd lean towards Vultr and Hivelocity.

  • That means work, I could roll the dice on the Providers that didn't had an outage in the last weeks if you want.

    Sure, whatever works, it's all useful. At this point, all I know is the @Clouvider is da prem and @InceptionHosting is da bomb, everything else is a mystery to me.

    I'll have to give Clouvider a run sometime! I just checked inceptionhost and I think that was actually one of my first black friday deals. The login doesn't work anymore but it was for a "minivps128" - so could only imagine how long ago that was. Whatever it was, it came from me lurking around here. I'll have to check them out again.

  • The all seeing eye sees everything...

  • AlpaVPS I think its the most "complete" out of all of those I am currently using, however I never had to use support so can't judge that.

    worthy, but limitations:
    GreenCloud is nice if you don't go exotic locations that tends to be DDOS magnets.
    Server-Factory is nice, but this is one man operation so no go for many people.
    LowHosting/v6Node is nice if you don't need ISO in panel (or even VNC v6Node - "soon").
    TerraHost is nice too, but they got DDOSed lately on some crazy core level plus this company is no go for some due to "parent" company.

    Crunchbits seems like nice guys, but for me USA is meh and not enough experience/too short using those.

    I like VirMach too - no one else will get me a mostly working VPS for 0.5$ per year, a fucking Ryzen on top of that.

    Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.

  • ExtraVM
    CrunchyToes

    Are my top 2 ATM.

    Terrahost is another excellent provider. Nothing but good things to say about them. Their parent company "Epik" used to be good, but they went downhill in a hurry. I wouldn't ever deal with Epik ever again but I'd happily deal with Terrahost.

    ExtraVM is fantastic. Mike's an awesome guy and I'd definitely recommend them!

    After the M&A I'd say so about both. It went downhill..

    IH is prem, great and stable service. Naranja has also been rock stable, just like Liteserver. I don't really get the difference between those two though, looks like only the brand is different.

  • Don’t want to rank them so:

    LiteSquirt, Hyboner, ExtraViagra, Crunchboobs and AlphaVirgin.

    But obviously there’s more.

    "He sounds like hearing him say to the liquor merchant: you who sell it what buys you better ?"
    F. De André --- Free NAT KVM

  • In no particular order:

    • InceptionHosting - had various VPS over the years, good range of plans for different project needs
    • Naranjatech - 2 years so far, great uptime, no issues
    • Yourserver.se/Makonix - had service with them in the past for a few years, excellent uptime and unmetered bandwidth plans
    • ServaRICA - decent storage plans, they have since added custom ISO access for older boxes which is appreciated

    I haven't got a 5th one yet. In the meantime, MXRoute as a mail provider. Fantastic customer support and communication.

    In no particular order:

    Greencloudvps (great performance and pricing)

    Contabo (lots of specs for money)

    ZAP Hosting (because "lifetime"/one-time payment LXC/KVM VPS, and dedicated server; no renewal fee)

    Hetzner (never had any issues)

    NatvpsUK (nat)

    You wish for it, I can provide it.

    ExtraVM - High RAM Specials
    Yours truly.

  • From experience, in no particular order:

    InceptionHosting
    Letbox
    Hosthatch

    Servarica and Greencloudvps are on the radar, but I've never used them.

  • Another one - if you're looking for a more privacy oriented provider - Incognet is another great choice. https://incognet.io/

    In addition to servers, he also provides VPN and has a privacy/security focused email and a DDoS Protected, Anycast DNS service in the works - so something different/unique to keep an eye on.

    Big fan of the guy.

    I really hated to see his promo not get the attention it deserved at OGF. He's one of the few providers who tried to set the bar a little higher than "just parrot this phrase you dumb apes" with entry to his giveaways and it didn't stand a chance when 20 other providers running pure spam threads occupy the entire front page.

    Quality > Quantity any day of the week.

    I sure don't miss leaving the other place. Saw people that were banned from there here and now I come to find out you can just Beetlejuice the cool people away from there and talk with them over here?

    Why I didn't sign up here sooner, I'll never know.
