Looking for Cheap Cloud Providers

The most interesting one I've found so far is DigitalOcean. 512MB, 1Core, 20GB SSD, 1TB for $5.

Any other good deals out there? Anyone know what cloud platform DigitalOcean uses? I'm thinking maybe OnApp.

    It has it's own in house panel with KVM as virtualisation but please don't call it cloud.

    There is nothing except the pay per hour that makes DO a 'cloud' service.

  • Another cloud is from Iperweb and Stylexnetworks (they have problem with IPv6 allocation)

    There seems to be a bit of a debate about whether they are a true cloud service. Storage is local but snapshots/backups and archives are on a NAS that is synced between data centers.

    They are also doing something a bit interesting with the kernel. The bootloader seems to be happening outside the VPS. Changing grub.conf has no effect

    Try HostVirtual

    Hi

    we have real cloud infrastructure with server pool and VMs moving in the pool all the time to optimize performance. Also we are fully redundant (if one server fails your VM will not be affected, all network devices even the routers are redundant). we use SAN storage with 10GB network.
    we have good SLA as well

    currently we use our own panel but soon will start using cloudstack

    look at our new offers here

    if you have questions ask me here or by message
    Thanks

    Do you host cloud services or just DNS?

    Just found a fairly major limitation with DigitalOcean. You cannot install your own kernel. Even if it's stable released CentOS or whatever. You can only boot the kernels that DO provides. They provide a bunch of them but that is not the point. There is actually a newer stable CentOS kernel that has been out for awhile for 6.4 but I can only boot up on an older one.
