Poll - 1st half of 2012 (EU and Asia)
I know that there was a poll recently (made by @liam) but I want to try something different.
There is a lot of questions about best providers in specific location or technology so ...
... please put only one provider name in each category (you can choose only few categories if you want)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU West (KVM)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (KVM)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - Asia (KVM)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU West (OpenVZ)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (OpenVZ)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - Asia (OpenVZ)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU West (Xen/VMWare/Other)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (Xen/VMWare/Other)
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - Asia (Xen/VMWare/Other)
Poll will be closed on 2012-07-09 00:00 UTC
I will draw one person - prize: 1 month of EDIS KVM Smart.
Note: For draw purposes I will merge votes from both topics (US and EU/Asia)
Rules (similar to @liam's poll)
- You have to be active user >= 30 days
- You can't vote for your company.
- One entry per person
- You plan has to be within the <$7 limit
Please feel free to PM me in case of questions
Update: limited to EU and Asia, there is another poll for US

I assume gray - west, orange - east
@liam - I want to use "old" kind of splitting Europe since the differences in infrastructure quality etc.
My vote:
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (OpenVZ) Fitvps
That's too many categories (I'm not going to even bother), should've had just three, US, EU and Asia, or two, if you for some reason exclude the US.
Also funny how Germany is an Eastern Europe country for some.
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU West (KVM): prometeus
Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - EU East (KVM): GetKVM (I'm just considering Germany as East so I can vote for GetKVM)
No!!!! Meh whatever I'm voting for Prometeus and GetKVM regardless! insert evil sinister laugh here
@rm_ - it's old map with separate East and West Germany - let's assume that right now Germany is West Europe
Thank you
