Ask HN: What VPS are you using?

4 points·_ca··10 comments

I'm using Digital Ocean but I've been hearing that they sometimes lock accounts without sufficient explanation of why, so I'm looking to switch. Suggestions?

I like TransIP[1]. They're also using SSDs, they're price competitive with DO, they're hosted in Amsterdam and they've never given me any trouble.

Note: the discounted prices are just for the first month, and they don't include VAT (21%).

DigitalOcean for last 1.5 years. Was using servermania before that.

RamNode is the best I've used so far.

Can you expand a bit on your experience with ramnode? The prices look great. Is it reliable, and do you get the performance you expect from them?

We have a few VPS's with them, ranging from 2GB to custom 8GB ones. Their SSD performance, hardware quality and customer reviews are the main reasons we chose them. You'll find several benchmarks/comparisons if you search around. Their hardware and network is very stable. Haven't had any downtime with our KVM nodes in over 6 months. Support team is experienced and prompt. Nick (the owner) is pretty hands-on too.

Linode. I'm so happy with it

+1 for Linode. Used Rackspace Cloud before, v glad if I never go back.

Also Bytemark's BigV when I want better support.
