How many VPS or dedicated servers do you guys currently have?

135

Comments

  • 49 vps’s
    8 dedi

  • 4x Vultr (in APAC region, yay for their bandwidth bump recently)
    5x BuyVM (all locations for Anycast + 1 extra for Personal)
    3x Misaka
    1x Xenyth
    (Trend there being BGP Sessions)

    From black friday/cyber monday deals:
    1x LiteServer
    1x GreenCloudVPS
    1x Netcup
    1x LevelOneServers

    Plus 1x Hetzner Dedi

    So, 17, mostly lower spec ones. None of them are idle.

    I thought I had an addiction but compared to some of you I'm in the clear. Thanks for making me feel better ;p

    I think in total probably around 90 VPS, and ~8 dedis plus a few racks of colo. All personal stuff, mostly used for scraping and preserving the internet.

    Who have been the best providers for you?

    This could actually be an interesting follow up. All you people with lots of vps's, which providers would you buy more from? Or, which providers will you never buy from again?

    I must say that for me, Hosthatch and Servarica has been flawless. Nexusbytes and Terrahost has technically worked well, but the recent controversy surrounding their owners have made me hesitate to renew my services there. Racknerd has been incredible bang for the buck, but their reluctance to provide ipv6 is a dealbreaker for me.

  • I support @monk and @rcy026 comments! Can you tell me who your best provider is? I am also interested in hearing from those who have a lot of VPS.

    Not going to fool me you Fed, not giving up my crack supplier so easily.

    Who have been the best providers for you?

    Virmach and HostHatch by far for VMs.

    Pebblehost and Terrahost for dedis.

    Virmach has one of the nicest US networks I've experienced, thanks to Internap's network. I used to pay quite a bit more to nfoservers for the same level of network performance, so I'm really happy with the move. Services have been stable, around 200 day uptime on most of my VMs (VM count: ~45).

    Hosthatch is my favorite EU/APAC provider, I have a VM in all their locations (besides Japan) and performance is excellent. Lots of bandwidth, pretty nice network, and attachable storage "slabs" are nice. I run most of my personal infra out of their Amsterdam location, routing is excellent and global latency is pretty respectable (VM count: ~35)

    Pebblehost gave me a pretty OK deal on a dedi in the UK, $30/month for an e5-2680v2 and 64g ram, plus a 500g SSD. The SSD is actually terrible, they swapped it 3 times (which was very nice of them) but they're just using a shitty model of SSD without DRAM caching. I asked if I could pay to upgrade to a usable SSD and was told no. Still a nice box, will definitely hold onto it.

    Terrahost's dedi special was great, paid a year upfront and got a very nice system in Norway. I'm not sure if I would recommend them outside of Norway since they seem to be singlehomed to GTT in Amsterdam and Kansas (which sucks, they used to have a nice network in Kansas) and I try to go for a good network connection instead of a lot of cheap bulk bandwidth. GTT routing is pretty not spectacular so I try to avoid them when possible. Excellent support staff, had a hardware issue and was resolved in minutes. Would buy again, but only in Norway.

    Hosts I don't really like all too much:

    Basically any CC host, any of the purple ones, anyone using Path, and any sort of reseller. If a host doesn't have their own IP space, hardware, or network blend then I avoid them on principle (with the exception of HostingByDesign since they provide actual value and aren't just pointless leeches).

    I have experience with basically every provider on the LE* market, some are great, some are terrible, but I try to keep myself loyal to only 2-3 providers to simplify things for myself.

    Cheaper to colo baby. Think about it (insert meme here). Do the math.

    Upfront cost and flexibility disagree.

    for me no i dont

    personal and buissnes use and i like to lose my money😂

  • @Hxxx said:

    Depends, I like being spread out across regions. I could buy a 1u e3 server for an "edge" location and then colo it for $50/month, or I could just grab a $10 VM that has roughly the same amount of power, and scale up/down as needed. Colo is only really a better deal when you want to either have a large presence in a specific region, or if you need something that is generally expensive for dedi/vps providers to offer (for example, a few of my racks have 40/100g public uplinks, which would be incredibly expensive to do on rented dedis). Generally for storage focused tasks it's cheaper to colo, if you're ok with buying a fuckton of drives at once. That said, I still have one of those 10x16TB HDD boxes from hetzner because they priced it at 100 euro per month and I'm pretty sure just the power cost for those drives + the server would be more than 100 euro in the EU.

    Then Hetzner deserves a name in your signature.

    Signature hasn't been updated in over a year, should probably get on that.

  • I've moved pretty much everything I have to a single local server, and some cold storage. Electricity cost is about $150/year and I figure I will breakeven compared to hosted in about 5 years.

    I've kept one VirMach BF special and of course Oracle Cloud VMs for misc stuff. I've been using them to do slow AV1 encoding to save on electricity lol.
