Hetzner is pretty solid imo

Linode has similar pricing and is stable for me.

If you are looking for true enterprise hosting go for AWS, GCP or Azure.

Linode has been ok for me. I wouldn't use their managed services. If you need that type of scale go to AWS.

One cool thing I experienced with linode yesterday is I could boot from one of their kernels instead of my own grub kernel. I had a bad update on alma9 and this made recovery much easier without having to rebuild the node.

Digital ocean sucks, bluehost sucks, GoDaddy sucks.

Two cows was great. Idk these days, no Intel there. Namecheap. Namecheap. Namecheap.

Go to namecheap.

Theyve been solid for like 10 years.

Yeah. For years I was happy with DigitalOcean and had no issues, but this is the interaction I'm currently in the middle of:

  • I can't reach some particular other server; both of us can reach everyone else on the internet, just not each other
  • Contact support sending traceroutes
  • Support asks me to send mtr output (I mean... it's a little more detailed than the traceroute I guess, sure what the hell)
  • I do
  • Support asks if I'm running a VPN on my Linux server
  • Support tells me to disable my VPN
  • Support asks me to provide mtr output from a third place on the internet (which... he could do himself... I consider telling him to do it himself but decide not to). I send the mtr output
  • Silence for 2 days

I mean, it's far from an emergency but it doesn't inspire a ton of confidence. 🙂

Digital ocean changed the IP of a VPS I had like 30 clients on without my go ahead.

...

Yeah.

Namecheap is kind of obscure and doesn't have transparent pricing

foggy , (edited )

Idk man namecheap has been doing it for a LONG time. 24 years.

Not clear on Vps probs because they want to know if you're trying to run a home server, or a web hosting business where you're going to house 47 clients, or if you're trying to run a fucking public education system or something.

Name cheap ain't obscure. Two cows was obscure. They were fucking awesome. But again I have no current Intel on them.

Edit: I don't know man, I just checked, the pricing seems pretty clear to me

Maybe I'm just out of the loop. The pricing page seems clear but I still don't trust it. Additionally I don't care if the server is running on Raid 10 or not.

I'd recommend against ovh. We host lemmy.ca there and that's been fine so far, but I had a friend whose production server was down for 3 days due to a switch problem.

I just realized this was /c/sysadmin and I'm just using it for homelab stuff so ymmv

I was very happy with Vultr, but they weren't happy with my Linux isos.

Using linode now, the backup system is more expensive and the emulated terminals don't seem as nice as I remember vultr but I'm still very happy with it, especially for the price.

Got it, thanks for the recommendation, I poked at both of them a little and it seems like what I'm looking for.

Also, out of curiosity I looked at Vultr's GPU options and said "oh sweet they offer options with tons of GPU RAM if I want" and then looked over and saw it was $3,500-$14,000 a month.

Also used Vultr for a few years with no real issues!

Okay, I just signed up and from the tiny bit I see I really like Vultr.

Also, for new customers they have discount codes. I went with $250 credit for new customers, and then after I signed up, learned that it only applies to money you spend during your first 30 days.

LOOKS LIKE MACHINE LEARNING'S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

Edit: Also, this is the kind of thing that tends to inspire confidence:
