VPSwiki.us
I have PM'd a ton of the hosts around here, and many have resulted to ignoring me.
I guess I just need to try a new strategy, so if you could please post a simple history of your company, links to things you find relevant (TOS, AUP, Twitter, Facebook, etc.), and some test IPs & files it would be very much appreciated.
If you feel like going above the call of duty you can also post:
wget cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test -O /dev/null
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync; unlink test
Some links to reviews
and a logo.
Here is some examples I made:
http://vpswiki.us/providers/bluevm
http://vpswiki.us/providers/catalysthost
Here is some examples community members made:
http://vpswiki.us/providers/ramnode
http://vpswiki.us/providers/solidshellsecurity
In any case, I really want to make this a great resource, and I need all of your help to get it there. If you fell like doing it yourself then by all means go for it.
I am also looking for hosts that will allow hosting of these: http://vpswiki.us/looking_for_providers
DDOS Mitigation
Game Servers
IRC
Minecraft
Nmap Sweeping
Pornography(legal)
Proxies (public)
Proxies (private)
Tor
Torrents(legal)
VPNs
ZNC/BNC
Anyways, please and thank you,
Mun

Thanks @Fliphost
I created your page and it looks like this: http://vpswiki.us/providers/fliphost
and I also added that you allowed IRC to our looking for providers page: http://vpswiki.us/looking_for_providers
Tell me if you want anything added
@Mun Awesome, I appreciate it
Is there anything else you fall under on the Looking For Providers page?

Sorry but folks overly rely on network information too much
A provider can change uplinks in as little as a few weeks or longer, a provider's uplinks can have issues (ahem, Cogent/HE), etc. and these kinds of content websites just encourage big number counters versus informing and educating users into understanding why this number is big and why.

It is just test stats. If you find them completely off balance then throw another test in place.
Looks nice, @Mun!
@Mun Mind I post my network testing result?
Go for it
Posted. Added a page: http://vpswiki.us/terms/unixbench
@Mun
Thanks, added it to the main page, and index.
There are some page like BuyVM needs to improve! @Mun
Agreed, waiting on them to give me some info <:(
@mun added "ServerBear" page. Is the wiki hosted on RamNode? What's the plan?
Added INIZ
@patrick Please add a logo.
@JonathanZhang Technically it is hosted on my cluster which consists of 3 bluevms, 1 Catalysthost, 1 ramnode, and 1 ninjahawk. The backend server is hidden for safety reasons. So pretty much a micro cloudflare
I also added serverbear to the index and main page, thank you
@Patrick I have added you to the main page, and thank you
Server cluster, great.
Meaning that no one host can hold it over me to give them better something, and it will have really good uptime
You should toss Cloudflare in front of it as well! Just for the heck of it.
and then after the proxies route it through buyvm's ddos protection as well?
at least 3 of the servers in the cluster should be ddos protected!
@bcrlsn mind making a logo for VPSwiki.us?
@mun - Sure! What did you have in mind?
IDK, something that looks good will work
Just have fun with it :P
(No rush)
Thanks for adding us
Would love to add more, but that was a community member that added you so thank them
This is a good effort, personally, rather than repeat in the wiki the general blurb which can be found on VPS 'About us' page , I'd like information like :-
How how many people own the Co?
How many staff do they have?
How OLD (in the light of Servercrate) are the people running it?
Do they own their own hardware?
Are they a registered business?
Have they filed their taxes?
How long have they been around or are they doing it as a summer job?
I'd like the providers to to be honest and provide this type of infomation. It's important for people to be able to make and informed choice about who they buy their services from. I'm quite shocked that 'children' are being allowed to run these businesses. Would you go and buy meat from a butcher that was running his own shop and was 14 years of age???
