I've used a VPS from mvps.net in the past. It was in Dublin but don’t know which datacenter.
Thank you! Any issues? Would you recommend them?
No issue. I was only running a couple of podman containers on it, and it was working fine.
I think racknerd, colocrossing have in Dublin
colocrossing has a location in dublin. try that
Thanks. RackNerd is out of stock. I'd avoid ColoCrossing due to the "recent" data breach.
I would not go with Colocrossing, no use for Ireland with practically every route (even for Ireland) going through London. No good connections with Colocrossing in sight for Dublin.
MVPS is a good choice to get Blacknight (DC and network) in Dublin but cheaper.
Haven't checked Racknerd but please double check that they are not using Colocrossing in Dublin, which I would assume (but haven't checked).
Racknerd uses HostPapa in Dublin which is father company of Coloncrossing.
That is what I assumed so that is as useless as Colocrossing.
E.g. for consumer ISP like Vodafone Ltd in Ireland: 9ms from Cork to MVPS, 30 ms to HostPapa.
AWS Dublin: 2ms to MVPS, 90 ms to Hostpapa going via NYC.
Lot's of other networks connected only via Cogent via London w/ Hostpapa with latency over 25 ms. Most UK providers (if that would still be EU) would be better for most of Ireland than anything on the Hostpapa network there.
Vodafone routing in Ireland is shit, all Dublin traffic goes thru UK. Which makes the latency to Dublin around 20 ms (same latency to UK)
Edit: Also considering UK traffic is now censored for me buying a VPS from UK doesn't make much sense.
So best so far is 30 ms to Netherlands. There is Blacknight but they are probably expensive as expected.
Edited for clarity about the UK connection
Otherwise there is only AWS lightsail, the Irish providers seems to be stuck somewhere 20 years ago with their offerings (anyone in for a vps with 512mb, 1 vcore and 10mps for $15/m?)
Teraswitch might be an alternative if you looking for dedis - or datapacket (.com not .net) as well - but both will probably come close into the $300 price range.
Thats all Ireland for you in general. Im glad there is Siro now else Virgin Media would rob everyone for a decent internet connection.
I always get the feeling that Ireland is eaten up by the big five with all their operations there (and now I think a DC moratorium in place as they eat up all the power for their clouds/AI for the European market...) and nothing really left for the small ones i like.
yea seems like it is either one of the big cloud providers, ColoCrossing, or a RU host like 4vps that uses PQ hosting as their Upstream.
Thanks everyone, this is extremely helpful.
Onecloud by Oneprovider also uses Hostpapa/Colocrossing, so I would not go for that one (but maybe they now offer hourly vps, so if they do, that might be handy to check this for 6 hours).
I dearly miss the second line behind the big ones like Vultr/Upcloud etc.to establish a presence there. CloudSigma has one but that is double the price compared to the others...
So if I would have to decide for one, I would go with mvps.net as a test. They at least use Blacknight as upstream, which is a long established (and therefore also connected provider) but without the "Blacknight pricing"...
Any feedback on ZetServers? I know almost nothing about them, but it looks like they are in Equinix DB2 and have their own network.
I knew about Oneprovider, found a few horrible reviews. So far MVPS seems the best bet. I’ll research CloudSigma. Thanks!
I am paying in Ireland €45/month for 32mbps max. Trust me, the internet here is absolute rubbish. The government simply does not care to add optical fiber in all the towns, because customers can get robbed by private companies for way worse connection.
Misaka @aveline, but they're OOS currently
@robohost we have servers in Ireland. Let us know what server specs you require.

I was going to suggest Teraswitch too, they have presence in DB2.
