Whichever provider offers you a product at a price and level of service you're happy with. What's best for someone else isn't necessarily going to be best for you.
you can find many Good Providers here depending on your requirements and budget.
The question is very vast in itself!
@dhamaniasad +1
It really depends, for speed/network? I like Fliphost. For space? I like Ramnode. For ram? I like Gadgedz.
Ask yourself these questions, what specs do you want the VPS to have? What location? Is this provider reputable (look for reviews)?
Prometeus ftw.
The VPS provider :
you have been using for more than a year and you are satisfied,
provider that you would entrust your personal information and data with
provider that would cooperate with you whenever you have service issues
provider that would help you within the boundary of their TOS & AUP (if you get an unmanaged service, don't expect them to install cPanel, etc),
provider that have a service that you need in terms of machine, virtualization, RAM, disk space, number of vCPU, speed of vCPU, I/O speed, port speed, network speed, band with blend and price.
In my opinion, SecuredSpeed. Transparency: I work there.
In all seriousness tho, head over to LowEndBox, take a look at some of the offers and the reviews. Decide for yourself. There is no such thing as "the best" provider. That's like asking: "I'm looking to buy a car, which is the best one?".
Define best? Depends on your need. Best for me means good support and reliable server, 99.99 or 100% up time, plus budget friendly. There are many good providers out there, its your call
Having a great experience with iwStack. Best value cloud I've used.
BuyMyVM !
( no )
a laptop with big hd, lot of ram and long battery life if power goes down
find a friend or family with high speed and lots of bandwidth.
My best unmanaged vps provider is by far Prometeus.com, and now iwStack.com (Prometeus cloud service). I have used Prometeus for over 1.5 years now, and could not be more happy.
My two best managed hosts has to be KnownHost and SolaDrive.com.
The best VPS provider? They'd flown to Uranus to spend their vacation
@derp +1 Best answer, and it's true.
Why not try different providers? I think all have glory and shame times as with any business.
And don't forget "if you pay peanuts you get monkeys".
The big question is whats peanuts?
Two years ago I used Futurehosting and paid around $42/mo for a 1 GB RAM, 30 GB HDD VPS (fully managed), and my backup server was another $25.
People called me crazy when I went from managed hosts to unmanaged. Start paying $5-8/mo per server. Thats how I discovered Prometeus, Ramnode, Urpad (that I'm no longer using because they moved all operation to US), INIZ etc, you name it.
I have never had any better host then Prometeus. Futurehosting do not come close when it come to server/network uptime, quality of hardware, service etc etc.
I know that Prometeus is not the cheapest out there (maybe with iwStack cloud) but they are not the most pricey either.
So what is peanuts in webhosting?
RamNode.
I agree that Ramnode is a very good choice. I have used them for some time before, using them now, but they can't match Prometeus and their iwStack.
