Poll - 1st half of 2012 (EU and Asia)

edited July 2012 in Providers

I know that there was a poll recently (made by @liam) but I want to try something different.
There is a lot of questions about best providers in specific location or technology so ...
... please put only one provider name in each category (you can choose only few categories if you want)

Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU West (KVM)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (KVM)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - Asia (KVM)

Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU West (OpenVZ)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (OpenVZ)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - Asia (OpenVZ)

Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU West (Xen/VMWare/Other)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (Xen/VMWare/Other)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - Asia (Xen/VMWare/Other)

Poll will be closed on 2012-07-09 00:00 UTC

I will draw one person - prize: 1 month of EDIS KVM Smart.
Note: For draw purposes I will merge votes from both topics (US and EU/Asia)

Rules (similar to @liam's poll)

  • You have to be active user >= 30 days
  • You can't vote for your company.
  • One entry per person
  • You plan has to be within the <$7 limit

Please feel free to PM me in case of questions

Update: limited to EU and Asia, there is another poll for US

    I assume gray - west, orange - east

    @liam - I want to use "old" kind of splitting Europe since the differences in infrastructure quality etc.

    That's too many categories (I'm not going to even bother), should've had just three, US, EU and Asia, or two, if you for some reason exclude the US.

    Also funny how Germany is an Eastern Europe country for some.

  • Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU West (KVM): prometeus
    Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (KVM): GetKVM (I'm just considering Germany as East so I can vote for GetKVM)

  • @liam said: True, I'd say Everything past Austria is east then.

    No!!!! Meh whatever I'm voting for Prometeus and GetKVM regardless! insert evil sinister laugh here

  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    @rm_ - it's old map with separate East and West Germany - let's assume that right now Germany is West Europe

  • @HalfEatenPie said: Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (KVM): GetKVM (I'm just considering Germany as East so I can vote for GetKVM)

    Thank you <3

  • jcalebjcaleb Member

    Question, who are the providers in Asia?

  • @liam said: I would say though that Graz and Vienna is probably 'east'. But I'll stick with your map.

    By location: Partly.
    By culture: No, certainly not.

    But if Finland is in western Europe, so Estonian is also, because it located southern side of Finland.
