HostHatch NVMe KVM Review
I've had this VPS for a little while, enough to evaluate it and say that I am going to happily keep it.
This is located in Tokyo and it serves a few purposes.
1. Being a game server.
2. Being a Japanese IP (as I'm booking some things as in 3 months and 12 days I land in Narita airport for a nice holiday).
3. A external development platform.
It's served all of that extremely well. I haven't seen any steal according to Netdata whilst it's ran 3 Minecraft servers that do idle but do also get some use by several players. Originally it started with one, now there's 3 MC servers it's hosting(with mods to boot).
This server has done extremely well and it's putting to shame my own ML110 G9 with a E5 2660v4. It's come in clutch too and for $22 USD that's very good value.
Hosthatch's panel is... lackluster to say the best. Every time I log in I have to refresh in order to see all of my options, an annoying nitpick.
Initially I couldn't setup SSH keys when I trialed my initial one before I went full send (had to spin up a machine in order to add SSH keys after). The UI is pretty, wish it had dark mode. A lot of wasted space though.
Ticket response times are OK. The two times I've made a ticket for questions (no issues! that's how reliable it's been) were answered OK.
I cannot fault Hosthatch for the actual service. They are a premium.

I don't have a GB6 score as I think I ran out of swap and it failed (it is currently loaded with 3 MC servers ATM) but it this puts shame to the original setup which was several VMs on a E5 2660v4 on Hyper-V at home.

@MaxTakeba
GB6 test should not fail if VPS/VDS has at least 4GB memory
In fact, in my benchmark tests I have included GB6 score with VPS with 2GB memory or more
example -
2x vCPU / 2 GB / 40 GB
I agree totally.
@hosthatch is a premium provider.
Don't think it's the VM
I can curl the site itself so shrug, not gonna troubleshoot it today.
I have written VPS / VDS in my post and that is applicable to dedicated server as well
The responsiveness of our panel is definitely a problem, and we have a completely rewritten panel coming soon enough. The current panel was more of a "get everything done". The new rewrite is "do everything in the best way possible", and we're taking our time with it because every detail is important and we're not in a rush to get it out (like we were with our current panel).
Thank you for your kind words.
I love how so many development problem I hear about is common across orgs & time
Doing it fast, then having to redo it right, such a common theme. We are doing the same thing right now..
Talked to someone who developed in like the 80s and 90s, exact same issues
@hosthatch
I like it how the console (RDP session) can be viewed in the panel itself.
