And I'm off provider-hopping once more...

My uptime monitors have detected less than 5 min downtime since December 16.
Sad to hear that, hopes you get reliable one.
@ dmmcintyre3 - I'd really rather not pay for a year or 6 months up front, and the monthly packages you have are way overpowered, and as a by-product way too expensive for what I need.
Don't suppose you'd do me a custom plan that I could pay for quarterly?
He's not affiliated with DMBHosting i guess
If you want budget, and if you're being real tight, then you're going to need to consider 6 month or yearly. Each transaction you make costs say roughly 50c, be prepared to spend $6 a year in just transaction fees. Hence a $15 a year VPS, if you choose to pay Monthly means that of the $1.25, they lose 50c each month to a transaction. Thus why most really lean budget plans will not take monthly payment as it would eat half the annual cost of the plan nearly.
To be honest, I'd rather pay the extra 50c/month than pay for a year up front. I'd been with TinyVPS ages, and they seemed stable.
QualityServers seemed stable too. Sure, QS will give me a pro-rated refund, but it's a pain in the arse. I'd really rather not pay too much up front, even if it means I end up paying more in the long run.
I recommend VRS Micro package for 1.45eur + VAT/month (billed monthly) from EDIS. I use it for IRC and it works really good. Excellent support and server quality
That's interesting. I'm going to research them. How long have you been with them?
Ok, just signed up. I'll take advantage of their 4 hour trial to see how it performs. Not liking their signup process, it seems pretty shoddy.
@birdie25 would just like to add that nobody on these forums is affiliated with dmbhosting other than myself.
How about this deal?

Not got one myself but seems to have good comments.
@ Deor - that looks quite good, thanks. They say no irc, but then they say you can if you ask. Guess I'll ask them.
Edit: Run by a fellow Scot too, good stuff.
Edit2: sent off an email to see what they say. Fingers crossed! From what I've read, their customers love them, and the price is definitely right.
@Gary, I was using EDIS for more than half of year off and on (I had many VPSes hosted with them).
Let us know if you do get one Gary, I'm tempted just to have a 2nd UK box now my quality server stuff is gone.
Will do. @ xenu - why'd you drop them?
@Gary, it wasn't their fault, just projects that were supposed to be hosted died
But I still keep small VPS in EDIS for IRC.
Ah, ok. Well they're on the shortlist. I'll see what xenvz say.
