Provider reviews: hostwinds/buyvm/spartanhost/njalla etc
Over the last 10 or so years, I've been hopping across server/VPS/domain providers, here's how they all worked for me, in order of best to worst. Note that a bad rating doesn't always mean it was necessarily all their fault, but I'm just rating my experience overall.
SpartanHost- 5/5 - Never had any issues, great pricing and 100% uptime. Also completely non-censorial. Great for production.
Njalla- 3.8/5 - Never had any issues. Servers are too pricey though. VPS was not 100% uptime, but close. Wouldn't recommend for normal production use, but rather hobby/testing projects where privacy is important. Also not a free-speech host, as they are not friendly to right-wingers. In interviews they outline who they will protect from censorship though and if you meet those categories you are good. Takes crypto, great site UI.
Hostwinds- 3.5/5 - 100% uptime and rock solid. Good for production. Great customer service. But they just roll over at any abuse report and so if anyone doesn't like your site/s, good luck, you'll be offline if you miss their email about someone's bogus report.
Hostinger- 3/5 - Great uptime, many server options. Horrible to non-existent actual customer service.
BuyVM- 2/5 - Had frequent network spottiness issues and Cloudflare errors while using Cloudflare as reverse proxy like always. Therefore, unusable for myself. Could possibly have just picked a bad datacenter at the wrong time. Might try their other locations and update if better. Spotty ssh speed into VPS. Good customer support, vibrant community.
Epik - 2/5 - Servers too expensive. They recently had a major security breach, and so also poor security. Great free speech option though, and if they fix their security could be a great provider No major issues except their security breach.
Vanwa tech - negative 3 - So bad can't even get into it. Unclear how they are even in business.

Are they legit?
Spartanhost and njalla were best so far.
BuyVM not well known host here. Please make detailed review of them.
How about your experience with Hetzner?

Hey Hosthopper,
Is Spartanhost from Sparta?
They appear to be discussed a lot actually.
Haven't tried hetzner but have considered it. Don't seem to offer anything unique. Am currently testing other providers not in the above list.
Never seen it. Where You brother sharp eye found it.

Really? I read they in 86 place in Billboard charts, isn't? Or they already improve their experience?

mishaboom 5/5
Sometimes they up till 35, but Hostsolution kick out them back very quick.
2/10 low quality troll, but you baited some fishes so I guess its 10/10
I would love to try SpartanHost, but they are always put of stock. And Njalla they are too expensive for me. I am poor tho.
When Marius sings ,Запрягайте Хлопцы Кони, in Romanian with Hetzner girls on back vocals it will hit 12-th place at least. Never know.
Njalla:
Epic:
Didn't you forget to add that Epic wasn't a free-speech host, as they are not friendly to left-wingers? (From what I read, no experience with them, nor with njalla)
So... Where are the reviews? A sentence each?
Do not pretend to be a genius, like Deank does, but if you don't know source you cannot recognize mention. That some masterpieces of intellectual humor for a middle level at least.
I think @Francisco would agree there was a solid amount of time where things in Vegas, if not elsewhere (I'm only in Vegas) didn't achieve the best uptime. I had more outages there than anywhere else I host. But thankfully it's very solid now. Enough that I've added more production services there.
Great experience with SpartanHost too, absolutely reliable provider.
Can you actually get into it please?
I am interested in their services and I was considering buying from them but found no reviews.
(there is also cloudlayar who seem to be an unknown company, reselling CF services)
