Where do you host your nameserver VPS?

MikePTMikePT Moderator, Patron Provider, Veteran

Hello all,

I'd like to have opinions about where you're hosting the VPS of your nameservers.

I'm currently using ramhost.us, which is a portuguese company, but with the current ram and disk allocation (it's a KVM btw), cPanel is giving me a lot of errors.
As such, I'd like to know good offers for 1 US and 1 EU VPS, paid annually, able to do the job :-).

    I usually prefer a real HA VPS for this, if it is supposed to be done the right way ofcourse.

    Otherwise, go for BuyVM's with their Anycast <3

    For sure, however, we've invested quite a bit last 2 months... So we need to reduce some costs :P.

    BuyVM sounds good, but I'll need annually offers, for a good price.

    It's a great idea, but I need to seek for Clouvider offers, for nameservers we don't need a lot of CPU power, etc. :-)

    How much memory do you need :)?

    512MB, to be safe, I have 256MB currently, in KVM, though. :)

    It's for cPanel DNS Only, though, not sure I can use Rage4 with it?

  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    @MrGeneral - you can do it via ModulesGarden cPanel module for Rage4 DNS

    Ahhh, if that's free... Then that's pretty interesting. Is it possible to whitelabel the DNS servers?

    Edit: Seen it, it's $40 one time fee, can't invest that much atm.

    Nowhere, because I see no added value in putting effort in managing servers for this purpose while you can for example use https://dns.he.net/ for free (up to 50 domains)

    @MrGeneral - yes, we offer both vanity NS and custom IPs

    Sure thing, just out of my budget right now :(

  • @gbhouse what kind of offer do you think is coming up in the birthday?

  • gestiondbigestiondbi Member, Patron Provider

    May want to take a look to NS1.com too.

    @Chalipa - for sure some discount on PRO packages and Rage4 ANY

    what difference will it have with the offer here https://prometeus.net/billing/cart.php?a=add&pid=96

    isn't it pro and unlimited?

  • Nowhere, cloudflare is fine. I'm not sure yet how much US gov funding they get.

    Thanked by 1MikePT
  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    @Chalipa - not exactly, PRO allows you to resell/provide services to third party, Prometeus accounts are for internal personal/business use only (at least from our side)

    Previously, I used one from BandwagonHost (NL) & one from GinerNet until it made problems with 5 GB Space. Then, I noticed lot of errors of low space then I moved it. Now, one VPS at Psychz DC through HostingBox & Another Dacentec, Looking for an EU option though. Anything 512 NB & min of 15 GB Space around $15/Yr.

  • Rage4 via Prometeus. The only basic infrastructure I choose to outsource. Insane value.

    Oh, and grandfather-ed Google apps mail .

    I'll get around to DiY mode once I have complete grip on the rest.

    I also use registrar DNS for some of My Domains however, OP says that he want to integrate his Hosting Clients Domains DNS. I don't think any Domain Registrar would allow that :P

    Module is pretty terrible and screws up quite frequently with syncing and records. Doesn't support most of the new TLDs either. Also not much point in using a higher end DNS service like Rage4 if you can't use any of the cool features. On the plus side, iirc it was full-source so you could modify it as needed.

    (this was as of a couple months ago. haven't tested recently)

    I loved Rage4 while using it but the weird usage statistics (I was getting thousands of queries logged when there was no way I was getting nearly that much traffic) and the unflexible payment structure made me switch to DNSMadeEasy. (Jump from free tier to paid is way too large)
