Looking for Higher End Cloud VPS
I'm looking to host a bunch of websites on as few machines/VPS as possible. I currently do not have the infrastructure to support what I want to do with this (raid10 SSD with a good amount of disk, scaling, redundancy, easy imaging, api etc) which is why I'm not hosting this myself.
Just wanted some advice on providers you guys like that caters towards the cloud market. (WP might get a little cpu intensive so it can't be too restrictive on cores either. dedicated is better)
I'm fine with using DO/Vultr if I can't find anything else, so no need to suggest those two. I also don't want to bother with iwStack as I've had bad experience with Prometeus.

How important is an API to you?
API is last on the list. Not that important.
In that case I invite you take a peek at what we could offer: https://vapornode.com/cloud
I would be more than happy to answer any specific questions you have. An API is the one feature we could not provide.
Lunanode dynamic
Well my first question would be: Is this just a regular VPS? Or is it an actual high-availability cloud? (The website says cloud, but the descriptions just sound like VPS)
How about Runabove and Google cloud
@Jonchun - what are your needs in terms of number of instances, aggregate RAM and disk?
These are not traditional VPS services. There is high availability infrastructure in place on the network and hardware node levels. We have gear on idle that will handle automatic and seamless failover in the case of any system failure.
RAM should be scalable at any time. I'm looking for hopefully (I know it's a high. This is just a guideline) 100GB SSD per 1GB RAM. The fewer the number of instances, the better (cuts down on cPanel/management costs). Most of the websites installed will probably be CMS systems like forums or blogs, so lots of RAM is a must. DDoS protection is not an issue (I have that worked out already).
@Jonchun - I don't mean it like that - I am looking at your total immediate requirement. Do you need 30GB RAM, 1TB storage (as total resources across multiple containers) or are you just looking for a single container?
DAS SSD is not HA, its just a VPS with a funky name; there is no HA in it. When the box falls over, then someone has to resurrect it or transplant the disks.
You've mentioned you want TRUE cloud in the sense of failover, so in the event that a compute node fails, the container is automatically spun up on another node with just a few seconds of downtime
As @MarkTurner has asked, whats your initial requirement, If I were to provision this service for you now, what would you expect to be utilizing over the next 30 days?
Thanks,
Ben
Ah the initial requirement is not high. Probably about 8GB RAM on the initial launch. @pbgben @MarkTurner
This is something we can provide, though we cannot beat the pricing of larger providers like DO, vultr etc
I would recommend Runabove as they use a very similar underlying infrastructure as us.
We use a VMWARE cluster to provide a highly available setup.
Had been using RunAbove for three months until now...No problems till now
Host is rock stable...I use it for production server...I think it will be good for you...Check out their Power8 Series
RunAbove is not a "higher end cloud VPS". And I did read reports about VMs simply disappearing from the CP just to return later, so not exactly production ready.
Can confirm; my CA VM was "gone" for a week (and unreachable) but then appeared again and worked fine (I did not contact support as it is only a gameserver).
Their panel also seems to only work in IE8 for me, not in Firefox (Granted, tested only on my Windows PC, did not try FF/Safari on my main Mac yet).
For the price it's certainly very nice but i would not put much trust in it (yet).
EDIT: Only a white page in FF on Mac, Seems to work in Safari
They are quite new to be fair. But vanishing vm's is never a good thing, whats worse is they come back! Perhaps aliens have moved on from probing the empty minds of humans :P
why don't you check Linode, Rackspace cloud, cloudsigma etc?
@dediserve comes to mind.
@dediserve .pretty happy with them.just waiting for their Singapore location
Looking into @dediserve. Will check Linode as well. I've never been a fan of Rackspace, but I'm considering it.
You can't go wrong with @dediserve, OP :-)
@pbgben, I'll looked at your site, but there's just not enough information about your services for me to be sold. I don't even know where your servers are.
Seems to be OVH; so Roubaix, Paris or Strasbourg, France.
@Jonchun My apologies. The location is OVH-RBX as stated above by @william.
Do you like cloudstack? Do you have some skills in networking? Then take a look at dedify.com
Been very happy with @dediserve over the last while, you won't go wrong running your production stuff with them
Thanks all for the mentions! Any questions let me know!
Just wanted your official stance on this, your website claims cpu is allocated on a 100% basis. Does this mean I can use 100% of allotted cpu cores 24/7? (not that I will, just want to know)
Yes it does.
