Thanks for putting the time in
Damn you digital ocean!
Don't be sad. I'll vote for you.
Congrats to the top 20, you are all great hosts!
Probably due to the amount of free credit they give out :P
Thanks for the work Jon
Already use 7 over 20 provider listed. Maybe next time want to try the other 13.
i think i have signed up from 10 out of these 20
Ever been disappointed by one of them ?
Not really. I use each differently
Gr8 work Sir Joe
Wow top 20 in our first quarter! thank you all who voted!
TBH I dont like what I see there, all points coming from first choice ?
While not impossible, looks highly unlikely.
Use/used 8/20 of these hosts
Wow, I use No.1,5,19 provider listed.
digitalocean hardly appears in LEB but it's very good to be on the list.
I Voted for Backupsy and DigitalOcean.
btw, In Chinese market, there are some theorems for VPS atm:
eg:
Bluevm is only good only after they fix up all the glitches every time they release new offers.
Can't afford Linode? Looking for stable, reliable affordable KVM? Get DigitalOcean
Large disk for backup? Get a Backupsy, no swiftway please.
urpad? getting terrible
shardhost? I want my money back!!!
for location, eg:
West Coast of the US, good location
Japan, low ping, goes crazy at night
Hong Kong, Singapore? Bandwidth terrible, only good for blog sites.
It means people picked him as their first choice when they listed their choices :P
MaxVPS is a very good provider, he deserves it
@kyaky
You forgot South Korea and Taiwan.
I know. I'm missing the 100M fiber in Beijing as well.
You really need to make your upstream have Debian 6 for me!!
Just saying =P
I'm using or have used 13/20
need to try BuyVM again.
Considering their size, you've done very well.
Thanks to everyone who voted for us! Also congratulations to everyone else who made the top 20.
Incredibly well, I am amazed how he manages all those 12 DCs he said he deals with.
I am in awe...
And he was narrowly beaten by someone who offers free semi-cloud service with ssd and benefits from millions of investment money.
Amazing...
Thanks for posting this
Happy to be in the top 10, put a smile on my face.
Congrats @AnthonSmith
For anyone who is interested if this was based purely on number of votes rather than the 3 points for first 2 points for 2nd, 1 point for 3rd system then the results would be:
I have done it side by side with the current system table on the left and if it was by umber of votes on the right, the interesting change would be that the top 5 would have been:
Personally I think the number of votes and you are allowed 3 is a fairer system, just throwing that out there
Hi, @AnthonySmith great analysis, thanks! Your suggestion is indeed easier to count.
@johnlth93
I cannot require my upstream to do anything- - Maybe you can use ubuntu instead.
Oh, I miss the vote thread.
