I use two bandwagonhost boxes (the 3,99$/year ones) for TSDNS-services and so far the uptime was good. I don't rely on the servers being up 100% of the time, as I have them in a redundant setup anyways, maybe NL isn't as stable as their other locations, I have a server in Arizona and one in Florida.
Uptime for the Arizona box:
I didn't monitor the 3.99$/year Florida server, but I got another server (512MB RAM, 5GB SSD, 9.99$/year) in Florida, that's hosting a small blog, so far there wasn't any downtime:
Their control panel (KiviVM) is great and I got the feeling that they know what they're doing. I would say they're one of the best providers out there, they let you use a fair share of ressources and they have a good system to prevent abuse and to keep nodes stable (Nodewatch).
Is there a link to order this?

Providers should stop use SSD for super cheap yearly VPS deal. Just use normal HDD.
What is the uptime script?
what's with the weird RAM values? (not that getting more RAM is a bad thing)
I use their 128 plan for a VPN server, have to say, I ain't disappointed.
i used them before and didn't face any issue
NL is out of stock since a while, only US is atm in stock.
https://www.statuscake.com and the one I used (I don't know which one you're referring to) is http://nodeping.com
why are we still usind dd as a measuring stick?
I would get the NL just for fun but they are not available anymore.
I also would've definitely get one if it were available.
do they still have this package for NL? i might be interrested in that...
@dcc
btw bandwagon ist one of the best low end providers, I really like their own webinterface and their support. Prices are cheap and service is really good.
Folks,
We do not currently offer NL as we are completely out of stock, only U.S. locations are available at the moment. I wish I had an ETA for you but I do not have one unfortunately.
Push it up. A lot of people like it.
We're pushing as hard as we can!
I see the head!
Small update, since last time, a lot less downtime since 2015.
DD Speed: 309 MB/s
Cachefly Network Speedtest: 27,9MB/s.
Btw EU location is in stock.
I have one BandWagonHost VPS at each of their locations and NL seems to be the weakest. That said, all of them are in my top 15. And I really like the fast disk I/O.
Try our second NL location - it has been online for a few weeks now (available in KiwiVM migrations menu).
I have ~30 vps in their NL location, they work great.
Why would anyone want 30 VPSes from one provider in the same location? Why don't you just rent or colo your own node in that location?
Cheap IPs in a Europe location. Makes 33.3ct/m for each IP.
Wooow, i3D at this ridiculous price? Give me 10!
Correct
Who is the other provider?:)
serverius DC in NL i think.
