    Others here will surely disagree, but if you want large storage and memory on a budget, then SSDNodes is a decent option. Their marketing is annoying (list prices are high, but everything is perpetually available as "the deal of a lifetime" via their daily emails), and they definitely oversell, so the reaction here is understandable. But I buy the cheapest three-year plans, and they cheerfully refund the remaining balance as store credit when I'm done with them.

    Your mileage may vary depending on who else is on the node, but I've had a good experience with them in several different locations. Is it as good as the raw specs make it sound? No. Is it a good value for the (always-discounted) price? Yes. Disk speeds are reasonable. Network performance is not as stellar as you might expect from 10 gbps, but it's consistently as good or better than on 1 gbps hosts. I haven't had any outages to speak of, but my tickets for other things always get a reasonably-prompt replies.

    One weirdness is that they don't configure the hosts with swap at all. Though with the large amount of RAM, that's never been an issue for me. One plus is that they do support PTR records for IPv6, though IIRC you do have to open a ticket to do it for some locations.

    Here's a current yabs from one of their deluxe plans that's costing me $12.29/month in Chicago:

    Its not hard to offer this specs when most of your ram is hosted literally on RAM (benchmark it yourself or check my thread about ssdnodes), youre disallowed to make any changes to core of the OS.
    If you disable virtio balooning (driver that allows to steal all of your unusued ram and show you completly fake total ram) they will turn off your VPS.

    Not a good choice for "reliable VPS provider"
    Its not even about overselling, its fake specs.

    One weirdness is that they don't configure the hosts with swap at all. Though with the large amount of RAM, that's never been an issue for me.

    xD why have swap if ram is already on disk

    I'm looking for:
    I found PHP-Friends and their pricing seems unusually good? They're in Germany rather than USA, but their "vServer S SSD G3 AMD" has 2 dedicated cores, 10GB RAM, 80GB NVMe, guaranteed IO performance, for €6.71 with a 12-month contract (ex VAT). I emailed their support asking if they speak English (to see how fast they reply) and they replied in less than 2 minutes. I've seen positive posts about them on this forum - would you recommend them?

    And also 10Gbit burst network now.
    Absolutely premium provider, but I wouldnt call that unusually good. Netcup has 4 dedicated EPYC cores + 8GB RAM + 160GB NVMe + 120TB bandwidth for just one euro more (9euro with VAT incl.) https://www.netcup.de/bestellen/produkt.php?produkt=2892

    And theres also a ton of other providers.
    I would still go with PHP-Friends because of their support that is really willing to help. Youre treated as equal business partner even with this one single VPS. Strategy that works out, as I already recommend them to a lot of people and at least 10 bought VPSes :)
    I just hope they will make a good control panel, support said that its in works and it will be a lot more advanced and "cloud"-y .

    Hmm… I'm not sure about your specific claims, and you didn't link a thread, but let's see…

    Here's selected /proc/meminfo from an SSDNodes host:

    MemTotal:       98977324 kB
    MemFree:        95892524 kB
    SReclaimable:     109456 kB
    SUnreclaim:        85572 kB
    

    Here's selected /proc/meminfo from a Greencloud VPS

    MemTotal:        6082288 kB
    MemFree:         4281212 kB
    SReclaimable:      93676 kB
    SUnreclaim:        37232 kB
    

    So, your big complaint is about ~100 MB of memory? And even though it's smaller as a % of total memory than another provider? Or am I reading these stats wrong?

    As for the RAM being on disk, again, I'm curious about your specific claim. For example, here's a run of the sysbench memory test on the same SSDNodes VPS:

    Total operations: 38770417 (3876198.93 per second)

    What are you seeing in the above that sets off alarm bells? Looks comparable to me.

    3.5GB/s on dedi? What block size did you use to test it?!

    I used the default (1 KB, IIRC). It's a low-end dedi, which seemed like a fair comparison. 🤷

    I ended up going with GreenCloudVPS' "budget KVM VPS" deal in this thread: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3466227/#Comment_3466227 and it seems to be working well so far. Pricing was somewhat similar to HostHatch's old deals but their support is much, much better.
