Who is your favorite VPS Provider? [closed]

vps

Who is your favorite virtual hosting provider? I'm looking for your thoughts on SliceHost, Dreamhost VPS, Linode, 1and1 VPS, etc and why you like the particular provider you named.

Thanks!

Solution 1:

I would have to say Linode. Linode is built on Xen and has a great management AJAXy interface.

You can partition your hard drive directly on the web and install a different OS on each partition, boot one or the other. Of course, re-install whenever you want without filing a ticket.

They also provide a serial console that you can access through SSH or through-the-web (hence the AJAXy part).

They provide DNS service, in case you need it.

Their support is quite good and they have forums and an IRC chat where you can often get good answers.

Or if you can speak German host-europe.

Solution 2:

I like Slicehost a lot. Although their prices aren't the best for what you get, they aren't bad, and the service is wonderful. There is nothing worse than going with a discount-bin host, and then having a problem, and finding their service staff is unresponsive.

Solution 3:

I vote for RootBSD, a very reliable FreeBSD hosting provider.

Solution 4:

I like Gandi (but they are in France which may not be the best option for you).

I really like their flexible architecture that let's you add server parts hourly to increase your processing power.
