UK VPS Provider

Hi,

Is there a UK VPS provider who would be willing to let me land my /24 and also match the Hetzner cloud server prices please? I have around 12 VPS's ranging from small 1GB RAM, 20GB SSD and 1vCores to 16GB RAM, 400GB SSD and 8vCores. Would be looking for a long-term relationship where we can easily upgrade the servers (including disk space) and I have direct access to them via a control panel and I am also actively expanding the hosting side so more servers will come your way.

No startups, only companies that have at least filed two years worth of accounts and are UK based. Also need to have proof that there has been solid uptime (maybe an active status page). Company must have a phone number and also have reasonable response times (not like OVH who take 3 days to respond even if your server has gone offline).

Thanks in advance.

    Nothing is impossible.

    But highly unlikely.

    Depends, I like the personal touch with customer service anyway of speaking to my customers.

    I think you’re the same.

    OPs expectations on pricing to Hetzners cloud offering on some plans is likely not going to be met in the UK.

    Which CPU's are used?

    Aye, true.

  • hexukhexuk Member

    More than happy to increase the budget a little if you can’t match. Also any good European hosts who have a nice control panel i’d be willing to consider.

    VMHaus & HostUS are probably the only ones in the EU at the moment that I can think of that have custom in house panels.

    We plan to have one come 2019.

    Would it integrate with solusvm?

    Direct communication with your customers, regardless of their spend or package is always important and something to strive for. Yet, there are certain boundaries when the amount of tickets (for example) drastically exceeds the man-power the price paid makes up for. Clearly, a 2.96€ VPS does not really make up for consuming multiple minutes dedicated to the customer from a staff member.

    This does not mean that I'm against providing it, nor see it as wrong. It's just something that - if the host does it - is generosity on a new level.

    Plenty of tweets about how decent they are.

    They have a lot of outages...

    There was a high amount of outages in Los Angeles, partly out of our control (the entire building going offline due to an UPS issue). Los Angeles is to be upgraded very soon. Other locations have not experienced any total outages for over a month, any outages planned are announced in advance.

    Can think of some good UK VPS providers, but none that match Hetzners cloud. Sometimes you might catch a good offer from Clouvider or Inception, but other than that it seems everything is dearer in the UK.

  • @Jack said:
    @Mr_Tom power and bandwidth is more expensive in the UK also at hetzner and OVH scale I assume they’d get a decent price on transit.

    Uhm, transit is the least problem of all factors.

    Yeah I figured power was dearer here.

    OP would probably benefit from a smaller firm where they can speak with real people and get a personalised deal, but then a smaller firm is less likely to be able to match Hetzner etc prices.

    That was just an example of companies buying at scale would get better pricing.

    Product doesn’t really matter.

    If I go to (insert hardware vendor here) at say I want 10TB of DDR4, I’m going to get that probably 50-60% less than you would asking for a single 32GB DIMM.

    Is that a better example?

    RAM is an even worse example :D
