My current line-up:
Hostname box* indicates free or NAT, vps* indicates paid and non-NAT.
Location is IATA code.
CPU indicates persistent usage allowance.
RAM is in MiB.
Prices are annual unless noted.
I don't care about "licenses" as I do not use them.
There's no uptime record because I'm rebooting machines frequently to apply updates.
I like box1, vps4, and vps6 because they perform very well.
I dislike box2 because it's the slowest.
I have mixed feeling on vps8 because it has good connectivity but I might be too stupid to have it.
What promo was dat?
I have services with almost all hosts on here.
The few I do not have services with are either a spinoff of an older scam company, or in locations where I already have 2-3+ servers.
The specs range from 1cpu 512mb ram VPS, to a few i5 dedicated servers. I only have dedicated servers with @Clouvider (cause they are fucking awesome!), and with TNA hosting, cause it was $17/m or $19m (not sure which one it was), and you can't just give up a deal like that :-)
My VPS pricing ranges from $10/yr to $25/month (I use a lot of bandwidth, so most of my VPS are high bandwidth ones).
The perks - I do not really need those. I think @seriesn slapped me with a backup service or vps or something (I don't use it, so cant comment on that), and @Francisco got me a Blesta and DA for free, which I played with but have not really used.
As far as uptime - most have the same uptime of a few months (due to upgrades that I performed), except a few that I got recently. I must say - I have not noticed any serious downtime to complain about. Some of my highest uptime machines are with @SpryServers_Tab (over an year last time I checked) and with @anyNode (one of my machines with them is up ever since they moved from Cali to LV). There is also the one from @FHR - skylon host has been rock solid for me with one of the highest uptimes.
Overall, except a few bad apples on here - I have been very satisfied with LET and the providers that are on here. Looking forward to getting more and more as time goes by :-)
Thanks for the kind words @t0ny0 ! :-)
We’re happy to have you
@EvolutionHost provides a free VPS to popular websites, in exchange for a backlink on my homepage.
$0.00 KVM VPS - 4GB RAM, 4 vCPU cores, Gbps Port, DDoS Protection - Details inside
The popularity of my website qualifies for 3GB plan.
However, upon hearing my plan for using the CPU for software development, I only received a 2GB on which I'm allowed to fully utilize the CPU.
They advertise "dedicated resources" after all.
Now I use
box1
to build Docker containers.When not in use, it runs Archive Team tasks.
I need to keep the link in place on my frontpage, but I don't have to host the website out of this server.
Also, I'm expected to write a few ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews every 6 months.
My current active ones:
Till now, only run4 and little have some downtime.
I don't care about those additional licenses, and I care mainly
CPU burst performance, and network stability.
I like most of them, especially run1,run6 and little.
main and run7 are good, but I found that it is difficult to upgrade them,
so I ordered run1 instead of upgrading them.
run2 is also good but that price is only for one year.
run4 has good CPU performance, but the network is not stable.
The CPU performance of run5 degraded a lot since I ordered it.
run6 is in Japan and thus I like it.
little is very good since it is 4C at $3.5/month.
spec has very poor CPU performance and thus I dislike it.
next is good, but I feel 3TB is too much for me since currently I'm using less than 500GB.
In addition, recently I got the 128MB NAT bundle from Gullo($12/year),
and I'm still checking/testing them.
so in total 31.95 USD per month.
At this point i'd just recommend getting a dedi from hetzner (AX-41 Nvme)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Hexa-Core
64 GB DDR4 ECC
2 x 512 GB Nvme
2 TB HDD
All of that for 57.12 eur monthly including 19% VAT
(setup fee 46.41 eur one time)
Basically with every common provider.
The bigger question is how much are you paying for them monthly? or yearly
I don't know and I don't want to know.
90% of my stuff is purchased on good deals, not regular pricing, its dirt cheap.
COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT! COUNT IT!

Lol
If he knew how much stuff cost, he might stop giving away some of it for free.
Oh well, I NEED TO KNOW
SYS and PulsedMedia boxes for Linux ISOs. I'll probably keep the SYS box until OVH pries it from my hands because its fantastic for the price and I've pushed almost a petabyte since I bought it. Thank god it wasn't located in Strasbourg.
Oracle Cloud and VirMach as general purpose VPS. Hosts a few websites and docker containers. Pretty satisfied with their uptime overall.
The databases says 36 but I know that is too low, since it dosent include every machine.
So lets say somewhat above 40 machines.
There is a guy that just doesn't get it..
I have many services with EntryBytes @seriesn
Only me own right now
Ahh, thanks for the suggestion.
However, a dedi is not suitable for me.
I'd like to have them spread in different locations.
At least he didn't suggest OVH.
SGB is the most reliable datacenter tho
KnownHost for my dedicated servers for my and my clients' production websites and hosting my own nameservers. HostHatch for the backup storage servers for my KnownHost servers, also have DDOS protected one for communication server and an RDP server running for remote tasks. Servarica for the 2nd backup storage server just in case something happens to the HostHatch servers. BuyVM for the 3rd backup storage servers which hosts the same copy for backups and for some free speech content. A 2.99 EUR/month dedi I got from a sale on Scaleway/Online.net for hosting my own nameserver and billing portal. FreeRangeCloud for whitelabel purposes (SWIP, ASN). KimSufi dedi for Linux ISOs and some questionable stuffs. Free currently idling 1.5GB RAM Ryzen from RackNerd. Free shared hosting from VirMach.
Got KH, HH, Servarica on Black Friday pricing. Scaleway, a kiderchaire. Kimsufi, flash sale pricing. Paying regular pricing for BuyVM as I also got a deal for FRC.
I do have inactive Hetzner and Vultr accounts just in case I need to spin up some emergency VMs.
I have fewer than 10 VPS.
Even if I reach 32 VPS that would fully occupy a dedicated server, I will not replace it with a dedicated server.
Location: no matter where I place the dedicated server, some viewers won experience a latency of over 150ms.
The 2021 January push-ups report described such a scenario: the global NDN testbed has 10 servers capable of WebSockets but few in Asia, so that Asian viewers are getting the worst video quality.
Resilency: today my VPS was knocked offline, and I re-deployed the website on another VPS.
If all I have is a dedicated server, it would be a longer downtime.
I think Mali Hosting is better than them.
Servdiscount - Dedicated Server.
Contabo - VPS Box.
RackNerd - Shared CPanel Hosting.
You are absolutely right
Second, obviously is your host summerhost
racknerd .
used to have liteserver.nl .
And why aren't you with them anymore?
BuyVM - 3 active VMs + 1 slab
2x $2/month vm @ 512mb ram
1x $3.5/month vm @ 1gb ram
1x $1.25/month storage "slab" @ 256Gb
Free IPV4, tons of monthly bandwidth (like 8TB per gig of ram), etc
Uptime has so far only been limited by my stupidity & ddos attacks
Digital Ocean - 1 active VM
$5/month vm @ 1gb ram
Super fast network speeds (but lower bandwidth allowance), easy to add more complicated features like DNS, <5 minute provisioning
Uptime has so far only been limited by my stupidity & ddos attacks
I'd recommend either host depending on your budget and what you want to host. BuyVM is much more lenient about content and such, especially in the Luxembourg datacenter.
