  • c1vhosting by far, just unbelievable how bad it was.

    I was a huge fan of RamNode till 2019. It was far more stable than almost any other providers in LEB. I held more than 20 VMs, OpenVZ through, back in 2010s. Pity their pricing soars.

  • Best:

    • @ProHosting24 BF XXL 2024: amazing specs for the price, reliable.
    • HostBRR @labze StorageBox
    • KS-Mystery
    • MXroute @jar for emails: just works, setup and forget
    • NameCrane @Francisco DirectAdmin Shared Hosting

    Good:

    • ZAP-Hosting Lifetime LXC (migrated to KVM now)
    • koofr Storage (Lifetime)

    Worst:

    • iHostArt Cheap KVM Storage
    • Dasabo: dirty cheap, pretty stable, but slow

    Nice!

  • Host c Pioneer 5TB storage $45/year
    Layer7 5 TB storage $50/year

    I also want this storage if @host_c and @layer7 still sell it with this price

    Best of the best:
    * KS-Mystery E-2288G / 128G
    * @host_c LET 15th Anniversary 3TB Storage VPS – HOST-C Edition $15/year
    * NameCrane EU @Francisco
    * @berohost VPSes (Bday!)

  • Not through LET. My best purchases are based on the length of time I've used the service.

    • Leaseweb GP VPS, purchased in 2015 and requested a cancellation at the end of 2024. Followed by purchasing a new VPS package.
    • Dedicated server from kimsufi - n2800 4GB 2x 2TB, purchased in 2016 and still using it to this day.

    Once I'm happy with it, I never leave unless I no longer need it. The desire to buy or have the best service (performance-to-price ratio) doesn't always align with my needs.

  • Holy fcuk.

    I just checked my idle ramnode.

    It was $12/year last year and then yesterday it was $37/year.

    Holyyy rcukkkkkkkkkk.

    If i knew it earlier i would terminate.

    Im removing my cc from ramnode now.

    No more auto renewal

    Honestly the best were probably servers i bought and then got to know the owners/workers there, met a lot of good hard working people and actual friends through servers I tried. For example but absolutely not limited to Crunchbit, Terabit, Host-c, Layer7, Kuroit and a lot more. Wonderful people.

    I value my experience with the people working at the hosting companies WAY higher than the actual value of the server itself. Which is why I don't and probably will never use corporate robotic companies like hetzner and ovh.

    The worst? I commissioned a drawing for my 5yo niece who is obsessed with horses from an artist here on LET and he sent me this

    She cried for 2 days straights

    Funny enough, most of the people you’ve mentioned aren’t ones I’ve had great experiences with.

    It really feels like some folks get treated differently depending on their reputation or status in other communities (e.g LET), which is kind of ironic.

    That’s my main issue with reviews -- they’re almost always biased in one direction or another. Maybe someone had one really positive experience and ends up overselling it, or someone else had a bad run-in and makes the whole service sound terrible. Either way, it rarely reflects the overall quality, which is what should actually matter. I’ve seen that happen plenty of times on LET, especially with negative reviews.

    When I try the same providers myself, the results are always different -- sometimes better, sometimes worse.

    either way, I never trust reviews.

  • can anyone still able to contact Virmach support? my server down for couple weeks now, all I can get is AI supported ticket and no follow-ups...

    I think you need to pay @emgh royalties for that username homie.

    Flagged for impersonation.

    Best: GreenCloud @NDTN @phanh

  • Just realise that Hostbrr storagebox has restocked the Germany server (but unlikely Hetznet, not sure 100%).

    It supports restic/rsync/borgbackup. The speed is reasonable.

  • GooseVPN lifetime: each year promising WireGuard and failing. not a LET purchase: worser [sic]

  • Worst: Nuyek

    Paid for a dedicated server annually from their LET offer. Never delivered in more than 4 months. Their account here is suspended too.

  • Best:

    • @dustinc - Had no issues sofar, just works and deals were ok

    Worst:
