Crunchbits(@crunchbits ). I've had no issues other than a couple short outages that were out of their control, these things happen. They answer tickets quickly.
We get about 1 million visits a month for terms of traffic.
but only original dataforest.
beware of some resellers.
So far @SolidSeoVPS for me. One VPS has 0 downtime and the other had a weird network problem that it wasn't sending all outbound packets. Rebooting the vps fixed it, but, idk who's fault that even is or why that happen. Support was less than 5 mins and usually only a min the few times I reached out.
@host_c looking not bad for me. Pretty sure no downtime as well. Only real problem is when they transfered the VPS they made a mistake and was causing errors in the panel until they spotted and fixed it.
@MassiveGRID 0 downtime so far. Unsure if trusted or proven for me as I seem other people have problems. Some nodes it's routing equipment for them must be bad.
Avoid contabo and databasemart. Contabo we all know why and databasemart support sucks and downtime is bad. Looking at like 80% uptime when I tried them.
@jar I have 100 GB, Black Friday offer for 3 years, I login into accounts portal only to pay invoice for every 3 years. It just works.
BuyVM / @Francisco and MXRoute / @jar
oh my god I forgot I use @jar for email, definitely a +1 there. mxroute just works so well that I don't even think about it anymore.
TheBasementHost. They are new but really promising. They even have photos of staff on website, all professional looking. Looks like big company as well. They have network department, billing department, sales department.
VPS currently has problem, there customer support department is having a look.
@Francisco BuyVM of course, and can’t forget about @Clouvider / @Clouvider_Dom
Impeccable service by both, and I run prod on both hosts.
Speedypage, I've had services with 90% of the other mentioned here, this one is the only one that has had good uptime and consistent low cpu steal. Upper level support only works on weekdays but that's the same or better than the others.
Some of the others mentioned here are absolutely not usable for production.
I know some of these are not Lowendtalk but
For production Reliablesite and psychz network but going to try moving from Reliablesite to Interserver (NYC area)
Backup servers at TMS (dallas) and Oplink (houston) and Datawagon (buffalo)
Datawagon great support and lowest prices (Lowendtalk range)
Thanks for the mention!
Reliablesite I would say is almost not suitable for production. They've had network downtime this year and last year, and I've had hardware replaced on each of the 4 servers I've had there, though they were replaced in a suitable amount of time.
People have been saying psychz is unreliable, but others have said it is better now.
TMS is only suitable for backups. I discovered that they have ping spikes every few hours. They say it is due to arp storms probably from using ancient routers/switches and too many servers. I tested 4 random prefixes they had, and they all had the same problem.
@labze Hostbrr
@crunchbits
@dustinc RackNerd
@Clouvider -- for prod
@ProHosting24 . @host_c , @hosthatch, @rsk layer.ae --- for QA / prod backup
For colocation, I will give a shoutout to @AaronW. Their support responds almost instantly and the remote hands is some of the quickest and best I've seen, despite being free for most basic tasks. I have limited experience with NOCIX since we just opened there, but it has been a very refreshing experience compared to opening in CoreSite/Hivelocity/Equinix/Evocative or any of the other very "corporate" facilities. Alternatively, @Hetzner_OL is also almost always pretty consistently quick and affordable for basic remote hands.
For dedicated servers, I would vote for @Hetzner_OL since they are extremely quick when it comes to hardware replacements. Almost every other dedicated server provider has given me some trouble or has taken a while at some point when it comes to hardware replacements.
I have had a pretty limited experience with virtual servers since I tend to use my own company for everything, but Hetzner and OVH have also been pretty solid. No issues with AllHost and Netcup either.
If it's a 'serious grown-up prod' that requires absolute trust and availability you can't use let providers, you either go for big boyz or colocate.
If it's a 'homelab prod' and you want 100% availability then just pick any, add a load balancer/scaler/db server on top (and have reserve ones). And keep 'kicking' the ones with an unsatisfactory uptime, and adding more if uptime isn't 100%.
If you don't need 100% availability, just pick any by looking at price/yabs and replace when it deadpools.
Lmao
My it s luv @ehab
@AlbaHost - the best so far with Performance and Support.
@hosthatch - best SLA
@Chunkserve - promising.
@Hetzner_OL - long time use very good SLA.
Some interesting insights!
I already use a few hosts mentioned here, most have great support and uptime.
I'm about to deploy a new API and most of my stack is already with Hetzner (a little with DO, a little with Linode Akamai). I didn't want to have all of my eggs in one basket so thought I'd explore some alternatives.
Addendum.
Honorable mentions:
Hetzner & OVH
Apart from Hetzner and OVH - from what I can see, none of the mentioned hosts have "cloud"/edge firewalls, right?
Otherwise, I use – @jar @layer7 @AlexBarakov @UltraVPS @loveservers - all great!
None.
hostsolutions
nexusbytes
dedipath
Depends on your definition of "production", I would not put anything important on anything lowend, at all.
That being said, providers that have never let me down are HostHatch, Gigahost, Crunchbits, BuyVM, Racknerd and MXroute.
Depends. Not sure if they will count: Hetzner.
We've had some customers in the past that had their whole infrastructure hosted there. Biggest bang for the buck if you ask me.
Just looked at root server deals. Meeeh
Enticing but the smallest one is more expensive, although not by much, than the one I have. Granted, it has double the cores (and more modern ones) but still, it's more expensive but I was looking to get a VDS similar to mine but cheaper. Yuck.
@speedypage
x2 5950x running a wordpress website on one and some very small couple of websites on the other one ( all wordpress, 1 laravel )
@hosthatch
x2 1TB storage for backups of everything running on speedypage and for backup of one which is on Vultr.
@NDTN Have used greenclouds storage before hosthatch and their service was excellent as well.
@onidel
x1 Running my personal wireguard instance.
Racknerd + @LittleCreek (sometimes high steal but decent helpdesk) + Mxroute @jar + @Hetzner_OL
Currently running dozen+ sites in prod on Hetzner. No downtime yet in last 4 years except once which was my fault for YOLOing
apt -y upgrade.Hosting 1 site on RackNerd. HetrixTools occasionally reports that my site was down for a minute or two, maybe once a month. Solid service for the price (1.5/m).
