    My worst deal was with Dedipath, lost over 30K due to their sudden shutdown and also lost gear worth $10K (Flexentials)

    Best Deal so far with @fiberstate they have offered me awesome colo deal and they even picked and migrated all my gear from evocative (LA) to their DC in SLC for FREE ...

    Their support is good and Brianna and Dan @fiberstate both are very helpful and they are flexible with deals

    Glad to see the positive feedback. Thanks @HostEONS :)

    1 TB NVME for $10? How is the actual disk performance?

    This sounds like Bero Host, right?

    Excellent.

    I am using this VPS as my main development and testing machine.

    Interesting. I don't think I've seen that much of NVME storage for that price

    @Advin The new server pre-order located in Nuremberg was basically the biggest surprise of my Black Friday.Again, the best I've gotten in two years.

    The basic configuration is as follows:

    KVM Premium XL
    Starting from
    $48.00
    Monthly
    AMD Genoa 9554 (24 vCores)
    6 dedicated, 18 burstable vCPU
    48GB DDR5 ECC Memory
    480GB NVMe SSD Storage
    100TB Bandwidth (10 Gbit)
    Located in Nuremberg, DE

    There's a 50% discount for annual payments, so if I'm willing to pay all at once this is basically $24 per month.

    He also promised me a traffic increase to 330T for pre-order users, in other words this is an average of 1G * 7*24 on 10G, which I think is a very good offer indeed.

    This is an amazing deal
    Better than many dedicated servers deals under $60

    I should mention deal I got from @c1vhosting with 1 TB storage

    This VPS has excellent performance considering the disk performance is pretty good.

    There was initial hiccups regarding the OS installation on the VPS, once that road block is clear, VPS is value considering the price.

    I am genuinely interested to know why you think that, your experience and a bit more context though.

    That's my point, in this location in Germany you will inevitably make comparisons with Hetzner.

    However even then, unless you really need a lot of traffic and a full CPU 24/7, the vast majority of this product will be quieter and more powerful.

    This is fantastic pricing, especially running on the latest generation of EPYC.

    Free services can be included, right?
    Best: Serv00
    Worst: probably when Rackspace began charging a monthly minimum fee for cloud files (years ago)

    Best
    1 vCPU (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X)
    1GB RAM

    $1.17/year from @VirMach

    My story began when I ventured into low end community for the first time. I remember I bought an OpenVZ VPS from a company called Solved By Data. I paid for a whole year services, only to realize that they're closing down next few months.

  • reddevilreddevil Member

    worst:
    Ramnode, my VPS with all the application running got initialized!, as though the VPS was just provisioned.
    NexusBytes, $48/yr, 2CPU, 2GB ram. A few months after using this, my VPS got suspended for using more than 20% of CPU. This wasn't in the T&C when I signed up but somehow got added.

    Good:
    SpeedyKVM/Hivelocity, $7/mth, 2CPU 4GB RAM. Still using them after 7 years, cannot remember any downtime. Have not raised a ticket except during the first few days when I got my VPS. This reminds me to check if I still remember my login credentials to their client portal since I paid by automatic debit to my card.

    reliableVPS.net. Zero downtime. <$50/year for 3CPU, 6GB. Found them here on LET.
    I cannot remember the exact price since I paid yearly. Had them for two and a half years.

    Best:
    I had them for a year, 7950X CPU. Ticket responded within minutes. They were affected by reliablesite network outage a few weeks ago, otherwise no downtime. Their 50% BF is still on and I don't want to mention them here since they have LET prices but not on LET.
    Will be ordering new servers and upgrading existing ones before BF deal ends later this week. 7950X is unbeatable in terms of speed. I paid yearly to get further discount. I cannot find any deals here on LET than can match this in terms of price or spec.
    There was a flaky PSU affecting one of the VPS last week but it was fixed before I could raise a ticket. My Uptimerobot reported the outage on my phone.
    The number ONE reason I put them to be the best is that they are flexible - in terms of pricing - price matching and willing to setup an OS template specific for my needs.
