If all you care about is speed and benchmarks, click the 'Benchmarks' tab of the links you posted.

Otherwise, they're both solid hosts.

Liam

Never heard of RamNode. Hostigation is solid though. In the words of @chief "Team Tim!".

Gotta agree with you there.

I vote for Tim / hostigation. ramnode.com was registered in May this year?

It doesn't really matter when they were registered, they could be an as good or better host. I haven't used them so can't say. Bbeen with Hostigation for a while now and had zero issues, plus Tim's been excellent at what he does.

They are also minecraftlayer.com

Taz

Both of them are solid. Flip a coin and dive in.

Don't say you're ever active on this forum again.. Come on, you must have seen them around here. They're both good, but yeah Hostigation gets my pick just because I've used it and haven't used RamNode ;)

@Damian what happened to your sig and gravatar? No more ipxcore?

Also ramnode.com looks too much like trying to copy the name of ramhost.us . At least initially i got confused.

Nick_A

Hostigation is great - I have one of Tim's VPSs for DNS myself!

@rds100 said: ramnode.com was registered in May this year?

Yes, but as someone mentioned, we've been hosting VPSs for much longer (over a year now).

I like in the words of @jarland better "It just works!"

Also, I can play better jedi mind tricks

Should check them out, solid network and performance. Definitely high on my top 10 list ;)

I had actually never heard of ramhost until about a month in.

dominicl

Hm, I could move my main site to Hostigation. Only $0.50 more.

JoeMerit

As a customer of both they are both great and offer similar feature sets

both have beefy servers and fast networks

Same, I'm always looking for a reason to buy a VPS from @Nick_A and I don't get that feeling very often.

dominicl

@JoeMerit - I agree. They are both great.

Buy one?

@dominicl said: Buy one?

He buys from me, why shouldn't I pay for my service if I require it as well. Or am I being completely crazy here expecting to pay my bills?

Ah, sorry. Didn't realise you already had one.

I bought a small vps today for our dns management in the usa. RamNode has an excellent support! Performance on SSD cached nodes are fine!

You wouldn't put a hostigation sticker on your bumper, talk about it in the coffee shop while writing poetry, or brag to all your friends. But you'll get a server that does it's dang job and has a serious uptime problem...in that it doesn't go down enough to be considered a LEB.

And there's my two endorsements for the day.

Ishaq

I personally have a RamNode and it's great, I'll buy a Hostigation now since it seems good.

TheHackBox

I like both.

I'm not sure why you're pitting ramnode against hostigation @muj. If you're thinking of purchasing a server from them then perhaps you should list out what exactly you want out of your server.

Been with RAMNode for about 2 weeks now (KVM 512MB RAM). Nick made me a personal plan because the SSD-cached KVM servers aren't available yet (additional disk space until SSD-cached KVM are released). Really awesome support, EXTREMELY fast network, very amazing host.

I just got a RamNode today, @Nick_A worked with me to meet my needs and price. Thus far I'm quite pleased with my purchase, I mean KVM with IPv6 in Atlanta, what more could I ask for?

I've setup my looking glass if anyone is curious as to how the network is setup, I am content with the speed testing I've done so far, they could be faster but the latency is excellent for me. The only downside I see so far as is that the bandwidth solely TINET.

Between the two processors which is better

Intel Ivy Bridge E3-1230v2 (3.3GHz) Quad Core processors - RamNode E3-1230 (3.2GHz) - Hostigation
