What VPS host is best for reliability/availablity?

Hey,

My apologies if this has been discussed 1million times before it's my noobies stupids coming through!! Can anyone recommend the best VPS host for reliability and availability of service or even point me in the direction of a thread that already discusses this?

Much appreciatiation! To get us started I have posted my experience of Liquid host here: lowendbox.com/blog/liquid-host-3-74-256mb-openvz-vps-in-seattle/#comments I have also tried EdgeVPS and didn't find them very good.

    Why not use the search feature or go and browse the main page and read the comments? It has been discussed many times and it is very similar to asking what car is best for you without telling us much about you. a Mini Cooper might be reliable but if you have 5 kids it might not be the best option :)

    That said I have a vps with SecureDragon and BuyVM and I can recommend both. Price is right and also they are very reliable and stable. Support is good as long as you keep in mind they are unmanaged. They will fix issues with the node but if you delete your /etc folder accidentally they won't help you with it (though you can reinstall using the control panel)

    consider using a reasonably legitimate host like securedragon or ramhost or something, instead of those shitpiles that start out and feed off hackforums?

  • jamsonjamson Member

    BuyVM or Kiloserve are a good start. :)

    I was KiloServe customer, their support was amazing, but few days ago, I contact them to ask about KVM swap (Yes, I'm n00b and I know it :P), they told me to looking elsewhere...

    Weren't you able to create swap space by yourself? It's KVM not Xen PV.

  • ChristianChristian Member

    You can't go wrong with quickweb(it's not cheapest though...)

    I use Xen and I can create swap space.

  • jhjh Member

    For something really reliable, you should be paying more than $7 really. What is your budget?

  • fanfan Veteran

    @tux said: I use Xen and I can create swap space.

    Yes you can do that with Xen HVM but not on Xen PV IIRC. My only Xen PV has a fixed swap size. Correct me if someone has the right answer.

  • miTgiBmiTgiB Member

    @fan said: My only Xen PV has a fixed swap size.

    While that is the default method, I don't see why you couldn't create a raw disk image and make swap space out of it from your disk allocation.

    I used to say the same but....

    Would someone please post a link to the last quarterly vote and discussion? I just got "in" and I only have 33 minutes until bellringing.

  • AuroraZAuroraZ Barred

    VMPort.com is also a very good provider. Nice support and prices. :)

    Quickweb is still the best VPS provider around here at LEB. I also have really good experience with ramhost, buyvm, securedragon, EDIS. But my German 1gbit/s quickweb box is unbeatable in performance, uptime and support.

  • sketersoftsketersoft Member

    Awesome thanks for all the replies. I'll check out some of those recommendations. Sorry again if it's a repeat and @luma my needs are a decent bit of RAM and CPU cycles I will need one for a JBoss 6 instance that should be pretty lightweight but still I would like to have the resources to handle bursty traffic... But defo cost saving is high on the list as I'm just a small start up. Cheers

    Seems that you didn't read well @net

    He was talking about Kairus. Or you currently have that award? :S

    And you already changed your signature lololol!

    Time to remove the signature. Pull up your shorts and amble on down the road man. Perhaps you will get the King of Trolls moniker someday if you are good. :P

    Please put your pants back on man! We don't want to see that. Now I have to scrub my eyes with rubbing alcohol lol.

  • drmikedrmike Member

    And I get crap for my rambling and off topic posts.

  • AldryicAldryic Member

    Hey @drmike, this thread is about VPS suggestions, not critiquing other people's commentary <_<
