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.

  • BuyVM not well known host here. Please make detailed review of them.

    How about your experience with Hetzner?

    Hey Hosthopper,

    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.

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

    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:

    @mishaboom said: Great free speech option

    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)
