me getting ddos = permanent suspention
@Taylor where?
That seems to be common with most hosting companies
best experience, tektonic. solid and stable. my uptime is more than a year.
node crashing from the start and i was told wait for an hour . out of lthe blue
There on LET so I do not think im going to name and shame their pad.
so this is common for most providers right?
@Jack is the free cloudflare service enough since my ip will be hidden?
My VPS was suspended on the grounds that I had Nmap installed on my server. I only use it to scan my localhost to see if I have ports opened that's not supposed to be. Funny they had this in their AUP though.
Guess I can't use nmap to try and secure my server.
since cloudflare will be my dns, can i add subdomains there?
i don't know this, but i will try to research.
thanks Jack, I will implement this soon in my websites.
edit:
can i just instead get a buyvm with ddos protection, and then install/configure nginx there to server as reverse proxy? would that be a good solution?
Well, for me isn't simple.
Best uptime/performance overall: Rackspace, Hostigation.
Worst support: This are several of them. AlienVPS is a piece of crap. Enscloud, the support always was awful.
I can't remember other bad experiences. And I prefer to not mention another hosts which are a piece of crap too.
And how funny is... I've been part of each scam at LEB/T since 2 years ago, and I can't classify them as totally bad. Also, some bad reputation hosts have been ok for me o_O
Another way to track a potential scam.
check(yomero==member) {flag:scam}lol. kidding
My worst experience was when I was receiving 16MB disk speeds, and all my host said was "you get what you pay for".
My best experience was the price of ChicagoVPS
lol how much were you paying @Insidiea
@black 2 dollars a month
Heh, I guess the host is honest at least :P
@black
Yeah, especially when they say:
"xxxx is dedicated to offering low cost, high quality Virtual Private Servers"
BlueVM has the highest down time I can imagine -.-
My best experience has been with VPS6 because
1)they speak english
2)their hardware is fantastic
3)their prices are great
4)they're very easy to talk to(no arrogant or angry staff), they're also fast and flexible(node I was on had some issues so they moved me within a few minutes on request. Also I got slammed with ton of bills all at once one month and VPS6 had no problem extending my bill date without hesitation and without charging me more.)
5) they also seem to be expanding to new places quickly and adding new templates which is exciting.
I'm not going to post the company i've had my worse experience with because I'm not into trying to hurt companies. I will say they were a far cry from VPS6 on all levels and miserable to use.
My blueVM node is pretty good to the point where I decided to move most of my stuff there.
Not sure if its just me but hostigation has been down almost everyday for me since last month, from random 15 mins to half an hour. I haven't bothered to log a ticket because i don't even use it because of that. Anyone having similar problem?
I think you should at least hear what the host gonna say about it, especially when it is a popular host here on LET.
the last time i asked they said i was ddossed. So i told them i only have a base install of centos on that vps with nothing on it except a vpn which i rarely use (maybe once every 2 months for occasional hulu/netflix and that's it. As a matter of fact, i only use it when my other more "favourable" vps/vpn is slow). Their answer : " it was a random DDoS"
i don't understand.
anyways i'm not saying they are the worst or bad, but it's just annoying with the network downtimes i'm having despite having "nothing" on the vps.
Worst experience: BuyVM KVM 512MB

if it's value for money exp, iperweb kvm have been great. im getting 100-300mb/s consistently on 2 kvms on different nodes.
@Antipatiko maybe its an older node?
By all means log a ticket
We will have a list sometime...tomorrow? of nodes getting SSD caches. This has greatly helped a few nodes already as there isn't a lot we can do to ask someone to 'not read a lot from the disk'. The vast majority of our work loads are from that and very little from writes.
We'll do our best to improve this where possible
Thanks,
Francisco
That is a bad experience?
Bah, you have no idea what is bad...
@Antipatiko you probably did not enable virtio drivers
Aaaaand... Welcome back... Just when I was about to post your picture on baby milk packs. Still Aldryic is on the missing persons list...
BlueVM does have a lot of downtime in the last couple of months, if anything I found the nodes down without any explanation and they are not booted when whatever problem was is solved so they stay down a lot since I dont check much. However, it was not the worst experience, not even close. besides that issue i dont have any other problems with them, so they still got a point in the hosts of the quarter list.
Some years ago there was much worse performance overall in the market and ppl were expecting less, as such had many terrible hosts which were passing as "okay" at that time. Unfortunately I dont remember names.
One good host was eNS, at least for my needs, great BW (was having unmetered and was going like 800K 24/7 stable for 6 USD) and I didnt really care for the rest. I throttled myself to 500 as I was thinking at first was some mistake and after a while, when I announced it and didnt get an answer, I still thought would be abuse to do that kind of BW hogging for that price so left it at 500 KB which was still shameless...
It lasted much more than a year I think...
M
I'm only here to let someone know that the issue can be looked into if they ticket, namely:
I'm not taking part in anymore drama as I would rather focus my time where I can improve things more for people.
Aldryic & Dilt are likely the same as well.
Thank ya' kindly,
Francisco
