Compared to some providers AWS Lightsail is a steal
I know AWS isn't on the LET, but I've had a really good experience with it. AWS's Lightsail product is also quite affordable at $5 a month (you can even use some discount codes). In short, AWS truly deserves its reputation as the world's leading cloud server provider (market share: consistently stable at around 31%-33%).
It's what it is. I only told the fact (and a little opinion maybe). Let the customers choose.
Or perhaps, as you said, it truly requires time, manpower, and cost. However, please also consider this: there was an incident where data corruption on a server, which was GreenCloudVPS's fault, caused almost a week of downtime for the customer. The compensation for that loss? A one-week service extension.
On a 25 USD/year plan, that translates to compensating the customer with about 0.50 USD. Yet, when a customer needs to migrate their data, the fee is 10 USD.
Again, I am just stating the facts for others to see and judge for themselves.
Thanks for the information though.
Providers I would definitely trust for large production:
@Francisco
@gigahost
@alwyzon
@Hybula
@dataforest
@jfreak53
@jh_aurologic

Data corruption? They got hacked, encrypted and then styled it out with their customers... 🙃

Stop the passive aggressive ish. The PMS is strong inside you.
Thanks for this list. It helps a lot for newbies like me.
@gigahost @Francisco are solid providers.
O, f- off. Yes, I'm most likely the one you're referring to.
It's quite normal to speak 'bout feeling (or in other words having the impression) that something is not as good as it was. I even come up with reasons. You can agree or disagree with those, but this topic is about the question which providers are considered top providers.
And even that question is subjective, because you should take into account what is important for someone. Speed? Stability? Price? Service?
But no, @jsg comes in and call it a "sad show" because someone used the word "feeling". You know, sad is also a way of feeling, and you expressed it. So you're 100% part of it, and even more as anyone else contributing to it.
Well I've mentioned the flaws in the Deb12 template a couple of times (I mean, I consider "not able to boot after installation" a real flaw) about a year or so ago, and my comments about this template on GreenCloud were based on the fact that even after that amount of time nothing changed. Thanks for confirming I'm not the only one experiencing it...
... and then there are providers who ask to just buy the other (better) VPS for its full price.
IMO a $10 one-time fee is OK as there is work to do.
(emphasis mine)
Granted, not very generous, but still fair, a week for (almost) a week.
Well, those ca. $0,5 are what a week of that VPS is worth - in both directions.
The $10 "upgrade" fee is an entirely different matter and based on a compromise (I presume) between actual work that needs to be done, temp. blocked resources, etc, and your desire to get a better system.
Plus, everyone is free to just keep the VPS they have.
I myself have 2 VPS from them, one super-cheapy ($40 for 3 yrs) with a single E5v4 vCore, 2 GB mem, 20 GB SSD and 2 TB traffic vol - and - a 4vC, 8GB mem, 60 GB SSD, 8 TB traffic vol for $45/yr, both purchased quite a while ago and with high to very high uptime.
I wouldn't consider those VPS a steal anymore with plenty Xeon Gold or Epyc available for the same or even lower price, but there's another - and important to me - factor: those VPS and @NDTN have shown to be very reliable and stable, which I can not (yet) say of a few of the relatively new on LET super-cheap providers.
But maybe it's about time to upgrade one or both of those VPS and if that costs $10 I'm OK with it.
And you maybe stop the active aggressive-ish. "active" as in it almost seems as if you tried to hunt him down. You don't like him and want that to be known? OK, goal achieved. But they, let @nohavps breathe!
can confirm he debugged and walked me through dedicated server supermicro IPMI Java 8 (EOL) VNC controls connected through the same vpn looking at the same screen to install fresh ISO. hands-on pants-off 1-on-1 coaching session 10 out of 10 recommend very experienced handy man.

@dustinc
Do you try us? You should experience it for real before sharing your opinion.
Well, many of already mentioned provides deserve to be mentioned as very good.
But according to my own experience the best one right now is definitely @Cam (hosting.gullo.me)
@HostDZire have a really good impression with a great deals
even support is pretty fast ♥
@advinservers same here i have 0 complaint and their servers are pretty good
@layer7 A responsible person, easy to talk
and has good services. same as if you talk about support
@berohost i have contact Andreas in ticket for some offer and he hook up some good deals pretty much good and still have it active after 3 month
@ComputeBox last promo was so good
without dropping in performance and was great value to money you pay
@RIYAD Grabbed Ryzen 7 8r/4c for 7$ that was pretty much good and until now after 3 month 0 ticket opened about anything
@sb_th reseller of leaseweb With a price very close to the original price but their panel not has much future but good for me i don't even have to restart most of my vps so it's not a problem for me
Thank you!!
According with my experience with @dan_onlyservers for 3 months & @Psychz_jason for +3 years and proud to cooperate with them for server rentals. Good deals, Friendly Support.
I too don't like you. Reason is simple.
Because I feel your business is around novice users who lacks the expertise to realise that they can get much better hardware, connection at the same price.
You are leeching from customers in my opinion.
@dan_onlyservers is the best provider I've ever used, excellent prices on 10 Gbps unmetered and customizable dedicated servers, and very reliable as well. I don't think anyone can match them in terms of pricing and flexibility.
Honorable mention: @Hetzner_OL with the cheapest 1 Gbps unmetered dedicated servers in Europe and a large variety of configurations to choose from.
@HostDZire if you are looking for India VPS.
Thank you very much for the great feedback!
