What perks/features do you wish more hosting providers offered?
Hey folks,
We’ve been following discussions here for a while and noticed that many providers (us included) often compete on price, specs, and location — but what about the extra touches that actually make your life easier?
So we’re curious:
- Are there any missing perks you wish more VPS/dedicated providers had?
- Maybe it’s a config option you never see on order forms?
- Or a website filter/search function that would save you headaches?
- Could even be a quality-of-life thing — something small that would make a huge difference day-to-day.
- We want to hear the unfiltered stuff you’ve thought to yourself: “Why doesn’t anyone offer this? It would be so useful.”
Drop your thoughts below 👇
We’ll be listening closely — and who knows, maybe some of the ideas end up shaping what we roll out next 😉
Cheers,
— Mevspace

More 7$ deals
steady like a rock with rational price
dmca ignor
chargeback allow
You are sloppy
As a start, you could put a link to your website in your signature, so we don't have to search for it.
You are messy
The selection of OSs you can choose from during the order process is very limited, and new versions like Debian 13 are missing. Your options also vary depending on which server you are ordering. You mention Windows as a choice in the description, but it can't be ordered.
And you are mentally weak
Mentally strong providers offer Kali Linux and internal private networks, so you can pentest your stuff without breaking the TOS.
@TheGreatOakley is cringe. Best to just ignore him.

Cringe post above. Ignore.

You have 2Gbps ddos protection for a server with 2.5gbps uplink?
@xvps We did not leave a link to our website because that post is not about our offers, but general question.
PLEASE PLEASE JUST ALLOW CHANGING EMAIL
Why does almost all provider disallow changing email address. Why.
Had to change some of my email address as I use domains for email address, had to open ticket, wait for response, etc.
Internal networking is a nice feature that can be very useful. And BGP/BYOIP.
Other than that, I cant really see some "extra perks" really affecting my choice of providers. As long as the service is stable and deliver what is promised, small stuff like website filters or order forms are really irrelevant since you do not use it more than once. The vps's that I consider to be the best ones I have are the ones that just keep running year after year without me even touching them, so the amount of features surrounding them are really irrelevant.
Just make sure the prices are competitive as it used to be the case in the past for you. But then something happened...
Awesome. Could you suggest specs?
That is a good one, thank you for stating that.
16 core 9950x 32GB RAM 1TB NVME 330TB @ 10G
4 Cores / 16GB RAM / 100GB NVME @ 10G - EU DC
@nameserver - that is a great question - let me check with our tech team and come back to you
i just need half of that im contented
@Protocol903 yes we do
Damn thats alot less and funny too lol. You can offer no ddos protection but have ddos protection LESS than the server's uplink is comical.
Actually, there is one thing that I think very few providers do today: monitoring.
I'm old, so a lot of years ago I had servers and vps's with companies like Layered Tech, Rackspace and iWeb. Something they all had in common was flawless monitoring and reporting. If your vps stopped, for whatever reason, you would get an email from their Netsaint (precursor of Nagios) just letting you know that something was wrong.
Today it's the other way around, I usually have to let the provider know that something is down, because they have no clue and would not even notice something was down unless I point it out.
So basic monitoring. If I manually shut down a vps and immediately get an email from the provider saying my vps is down, it just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that they are on top of things. And it's not really rocket science either, a Nagios/Naemon, Checkmk or Icinga with the right templates would be fully automatic and require very little maintenance.
It is something we are internally discussing to find best solution that will work and still protect our customers.
If you have any solution we haven't tried we are open to check it

what about 4 Cores 4 gm ram 20 gig SSD @ 1G - LA or NY? just surveying.

Yeah that's ridiculous
Hot snapshots that actually work.
The only provider that I know of that has a working hot snapshot functionality is Contabo, and that's why I still have a bunch of servers with them, although I really don't want to.
A lot of providers have the snapshots capability. But most of them either require the server to be powered off before taking a snapshot, or allow the creation of snapshots when server is up but the created snapshots are dead on arrival (almost all VirtFusion servers have this problem).
@dedipromo said:
that is actually interesting - thanks for the comment.
I may pick it up with the team to see possibilities.
Welcome. I do get the point of maybe this is trying to stop scam/fraud/possibly account selling or transfer?
(I do remember some provider even CHARGE for service transfer. YOU HEARD ME RIGHT. It cost MONEY to transfer.)
Another point, it would be useful if there's a feature in the hosting panel (WHMCS or Blesta or blablabla) to self transfer to another account. It's much easier to get rid of idling server and get some money back so I can buy new services. But again maybe providers don't want people to be able to do this because of scam/fraud/or what ever.
Pooled bandwidth.
Attractive price, but broadband is an issue
Weak DDOS defense
If 10Gbps 330TB is offered
I'd be a customer in a heartbeat
