  • The closest you can get is Prometeus.

    Prometeus from UK? Never heard :)
    The closest you can get is AllSimple, excellent UK provider with rock solid performance. It's not KVM, but more unique RAID 10 Xen SSD, instant IPv4 and IPv6 rDNS.

    Thanks @Spirit

    We do have some Xen VPSes which run on SSDs with a hardware RAID controller and the rDNS as mentioned, feel free to open a ticket if you have any questions, or check the link above for our current offers.

    Until very recently SSDs where expensive in the UK compared to the USA. However they are starting to fall now in price.

    The only person I can think of for this is @jtodd.

    Not sure how he does it for that price even with his OnApp discounts but he does.

    I doubt anyone does the exact same config for SSD caching, but there are a few in EU trying something similar :)

    The EU is a pretty big place and although we are in the EU, I tend to think of the EU as a seperate to the UK. We use a much better currency for exams. :)

    Is this bad? :) Host I recommended above do pure SSD btw.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "is this bad", but my point was that our SSD-caching system is unique as far as I know.

    Anything other than using CacheCade? Special settings?

    Prometeus works well for the UK, I get between 30-40ms ping to them.

    Other option is minivps.co.uk, get about 20ms ping to them.

  • nunonuno Member

    @Nick_A ... I hope you can start you service here :)

    I'm not in UK, but UK (30ms) is the fastest route to good vps providers for me :)
    NL or DE is double

    This UK vs. EU location I think is a bit blown up. I get constant 26.2 ms ping from London and 35ms from Edinburgh to Prometeus in Italy.

    I'd recommend you to choose a reliable and proven provider anywhere in the EU.

    Update: I've just checked from super slow Virgin media cable, and on that one there is a difference, something like 20ms vs. 70ms. But Virgin has terrible links to all over the world, I actually use a VPN to make my connection faster!

    On reliable connection (University or datacenter), I can ping Italy in <35ms.

    I like Allsimple, and whatever company Sean runs, and whatever company Patrick runs, for UK connectivity.

    We stopped UK after all the DDoS though NL has been rock solid and growing quickly!

    Thanks for the mention!

    Uk providers either offer pure ssd or pure hdd. No one seems to offer ssd cached high performance disk space like ramnode.
