Choosing between providers

I have currently a hard time choosing a provider to host my site on. I have found some pretty good 512/yearly deals from Crissic, HostUS, NodeServ and VPSDime but they all offer like the same specs for the same price.
So Im curious if there has been any drama going on related to these providers last month? If there is anything I should need to know about those roviders? If there are uptime issues etc. Reviews etc are welcome aswell.

personally i havent used any of those yet. but i have used ramnode for like 6 months and chicagovps for 4 years. they both offer good stability
All 4 provide more than adequate service, for me.
Basically you should add that you sold DotVPS to Nodisto as well as working for them.
Going back to the topic: RamNode is a provider that I can recommend.
I only have experience with VPSDime and Crissic. I feel they both deserve a vote. Great services.
Nodisto is a parent of DotVPS. It's a same thing.
From these providers, I would choose Crissic.
Yeah, shut up Jack!
Wrong.
Go with VPSDime.
Using hostus for about 1 year and so far so good...
Don't see RamNode in the list so it's not the topic
Of the listed providers, I only have experience with Crissic.
They're excellent.
@Jack time for a disclaimer
vpsdime @serverian has stable servers good uptime runs a clean shop and fanstastic support.
hostus @alexanderm good guy suppport is average but the server perfomance is great.
Crissic is my vote though I've never used it.
have used crissic. top notch so far, with the service and commnication.
It's @alexanderm
thx i fixed it
Not using them atm, but hei, i like skylarM, seems nice guy
Running a plex media server (monitored close) on a Crissic 15/year vps. It works very well.
I have no vps with any of the other providers (soon vpsdime for another project).
About you being a nice guy or you working alone? ;-)
Working alone. Or maybe I'm not a nice guy at all
Thanks for all the help! Its hard choosing between Crissic Solutions and VPSDime. First I wanted to host 1 project on Crissic Solutions and another project of mine on VPSDime but sadly the second project neither does Crissic Solutions and VPSDime want to host it. So now I have to choose between both of them.
How is the performance on Crissic and VPSDime? Is the hard drive speed good? Is the network good? Are the nodes oversold? etc.
VPSDime = nodes oversold, I get some pretty bad network sometimes, and processes get killed randomly. Otherwise it's okay.
Crissic = decent, I would guess a little oversold/high peak times.
We oversell, but less than most hosts do. KVM is 100% dedicated ram and HDD. No thin provisioning or ram overselling. Worth a looksee if inside your budget. A few benchmarks are in this thread: https://vpsboard.com/topic/3899-crissic-512mb-kvm/ (look at my recent post)

do you also want him to tell you they are friends on FB?
If you want so, I'll tell you.
@Jack it was meant for transparency, I'm not angry about your service at all.
Wrong!
We oversell the memory, yet we keep at least 48GB free memory on the nodes. We sell 6GB ram on 384GB nodes, while people sell 2GB ram on 32GB nodes. Tell me who is more overselling here?
We do not oversell the disk IO and we constantly monitor it.
Nodes are connected at 4 x 1Gbps or 2 x 1Gbps to the switches with full utilization guarantee from our providers.
I think you are on a Los Angeles node with Colocrossing. I agree the network can be bad at times since they use Nlayer and major DDoS protection providers use Nlayer in LA. And when the attack comes at that provider, it unfortunately saturates their capacity and we end up getting a little packet loss and performance penalty.
Processes getting killed is something not a single customer has reported us. That shouldn't happen. Please open a ticket and we can look at your container.
I had this issue when I had my container which I think was cancelled a little while ago.
The process was Firefox, from what I remember. It was being used as a jump box.
However I am having issues with network and CPU on my Winity perhaps I was mixed up between the brands. Sorry!
Please open a ticket if you didn't already and let me know the ticket number.
