Top Provider Poll Q4 2016
This discussion has been closed.
Comments
My vote goes to:
1) Quadhost/i83 for their awesome NAT range
2) OVH
3) Netcup
OVH and Kimsufi are the same company so votes will still be consolidated.
But no rules against that? You don't need to track down the owners of each host to find out if they are the same company...or?
There's no tracking down, the Kimsufi website literally says that they are OVH. So yes we both know that they're the same provider.
So, in no particular order:
Fiberoute - @Infinity is a great guy who know his shit, runs a tight operation, always willing to cut a custom deal so I can get exactly what I want.
Inception Hosting - @AnthonySmith is probably the most consistently reliable provider on LET over the last few years, IMO. Great range of standard plans, some brilliant specials and of course, the Daddy of LowEndSpirit.
@NorthHosts - had servers with them on and off over the last year, the new location is great and Jon's customer service is excellent (thanks for fixing all the Debian installs on the dedi's).
Also, please exclude me from the prize draw, I've really no need of additional plans and I'm sure there are others who need (and will make more use of) more than I.
Top Providers:
Best new:
ZXHost , UltraVPS.eu (bradler&krantz) , Arubacloud
best new: Vortex - don't have service with but he made quite some impact, so kudos at least for marketing tactics ;-)
HM: Hetzner, OVH, Netcup, Online.net
ZXHost, BuyVM, Hetzner.
HM: XHostFire, @deployvm was awesome when handling my requests back when I was with them.
Not really LET/B Hosts but I use them for infrastructure so they sort of are
1) @Clouvider - I really did not know what a first class network was until I started using them.
2) IOflood - don't think they have a rep here but super stable and consistent.
3) RackSRV - Again I don't think they have a rep but super dependable.
And thanks for the Inception/LEB/LHC/ServersNV votes so far
Best newcomer: Vortexnode
TragicSever, VortexNode, DigitalOcean
Inception Hosting: One of my faster vps's, network in the UK location is brilliant but that's due to @Clouvider premium network blend.
Netcup: Got one of there's 2 dedi core 6GB special a few month back, not the fastest vps ever but it's a nice stable workhorse.
Ovh: Got a few dedicated server with them, uptime is great not had any down time for well over a year, network/support can be a bit flaky at time but for the Price they are quite good.
This time, my current votes goes to :
Best new provider :
New Provider: Nodion
In no particular order:
Virmach - Best prices for services that just works and with good uptime.
GestionDBI - Good service and great servers, I hope their KVM line will be all that customers need.
Inception Hosting - What can i say, past years @AnthonySmith proves his company to be reliable, he have a lot of knowledge and know what he is doing. Since black friday his company also had best offers on LET.
HM : Liteservers.nl, BuyVM/Shared
hostsolutions - "cociu". Need I say more? (Plus: Not bad at all and in some things even great)
New player: nodion - Now, that they are going away from virtkick crap they might become a bigger player. Hint: Get your connectivity up, Nik!
H.M.: alphavps. Actually I got a dedi and not a vps but besides some minor hiccups I'm very happy with them. Lots of potential there and a good basis plus friendly support trying hard to have everything running well.
Special category I just pulled out of thin air:
Didn't try yet due to little interest in usa/uk but based on what I see and hear and read I take them to be very knowledgeable and professional players.
