Who would you grow your company with in 2018?
So we have an idea, we have a few yearly servers which don't matter as they do some edge processing and if they do go down no one really cares.
I am looking for 2018 suggestions for providers who can provide a solid infrastructure to deliver our website and central processing, at the moment its just a few VM's with 2GB RAM / 2CPU at the moment but will hopefully grow so thinking @ramnode, @buyvm, @dediserve
Everything will be backed up and replicated to a secondary site so there is no dependence on one provider.
This is not so much about budgets or offers but if you were going to put your data somewhere in 2018 where would you put it?

The only VPS hosts I've used that isn't on an OVH server I have is RamNode and Oplink. RamNode has near 100% uptime since I got the current VPS (for monitoring). The Oplink server just idles mostly so I don't monitor it, but most traffic goes over Level3.
We'd be happy to assist you with this, our uptime is well know as is, but if you need something bulletproof we can help engineer a HA solution also. Our infrastructure is enterprise grade end to end with HPE blade chassis, Cisco networking and all-flash arrays.
Let us know what you're looking for, happy to provide a trial if required

Everyone has downtime, even those who promise 100% uptime. Look at the Amazon outages, major airline outages, etc.
Your best bet is diversity. Build a platform that either uses a provider with multiple geographical regions, or multiple providers.
Any vendor with 100% uptime is lucky. Across an infrastructure of any scale it's impossible.
Inceptionhosting, netcup, GestionDBI, bandwagonhost. Solid.
Am planning this year to start a advertising network hosted on netcup vps.
We use DigitalOcean for these type servers, if I was to do it now I would probably use Vultr. Vultr's uptime has significantly improved in the last year from my observation, and the plans are far more competitive.
That and I'm really sick of DO rolling out features only to select datacenters.
I'd wholesomely recommend @Clouvider, he isn't the cheapest, but my stuff there has never missed a beat.

This is a joke, right?
Of course
Which features are specific to only certain DC's?
Since you mentioned trust + data : I say
* dediserve London city(LON)
* clouvider/InceptionHosting(UK)
* Leaseweb EU location vps
* Liteserver (AMS)
* Ultravps.eu (AMS - zfs checksummed storage)
I've got all my services on: Linode, VMHaus, Hetzner, Hosthatch
At the moment I generally use Linode for any production-ready projects, my opinion of Linode has slipped the past 12 months.
I plan on utilising Inception Hosting / @AnthonySmith throughout 2018.
try to let go of services which are idle anyway... as every year.
no need base anything on anyone to grow. don't anyone dare to tempt me!!
Can I make that up to you? There's actually good reason, and it's not all one single reason. Long story made short: You always learn things in production roll-outs that you could not have learned in staging. There are advantages to a staggered rollout.
@jarland You just did. I didn't expect that.
I certainly understand the difficulties of rolling out new features. Though I hope your older customers who are mostly located on the 1 & 2 DCs in NYC and AMS get some features eventually.
I am using Veesp.com from @Veesp and I am very happy so far with their service and prompt support. Most importantly for me: it's Russia, not UK or some other country where everything is recorded by public law.
