Moved hosting from Azure web apps to Linux on Hetzner with Cloudflare edge caching and cut the monthly cost dramatically.
View original sourceFinds Contabo good value and flexible for both site and email hosting.
View original sourceRuns KVM 2 plans and advises paying monthly, since one plan kept its old price while another jumped sharply on the next bill. Cancelling anytime is a plus for them.
View original sourceFinds Contabo low quality, with roughly 30 percent CPU steal that forces buying more vCPUs than needed.
View original sourceUses RackNerd and checked their plan: about a year for a modest price with 2 cores, 3.5GB RAM, a 65GB drive and plenty of bandwidth, seen as roughly on par in price with a pricier Hostinger plan.
View original sourceMoved servers from Hetzner to Scaleway after Hetzner raised prices by more than other cloud providers.
View original sourceHas run several projects for months on an OVH 4 CPU, 8GB VPS with no problems and previously had good experience with Hetzner.
View original sourceBought an IPv6-only netcup VPS two months ago and enjoyed the low price with Cloudflare proxying, until a service needing IPv4 whitelisting caught them out.
View original sourceHosts with both Linode and Hetzner. Finds Hetzner cloud locations often full, so adding new servers can take months, and notes Hetzner has begun raising prices.
View original sourceBeen on a Cloud VPS 20 with them since early 2024. It hosts my Nextcloud, a Gitea instance, Uptime Kuma and a few Docker side projects. 12 GB of RAM for what they charge is still hard to beat anywhere I've looked. Know what you're buying though. The vCPUs are shared and you can see steal time in htop during European working hours, so anything CPU heavy runs noticeably slower than on my Hetzner box. Disk is fast, no complaints there. Uptime has been decent for me. Two unplanned outages so far, one about 40 minutes, plus a maintenance reboot announced with very little notice. Support tickets get answered but slowly and the first reply is usually a template, so I don't count on them for anything. The panel looks old but does what I need: reinstall, snapshots, rescue mode. I keep restic backups off the server anyway. For self hosting by someone who can manage Linux it's great value. I wouldn't put a client's shop on it.
Running multiple VPS instances for production web apps and AI agents with zero downtime and fast customer support responses.
View original sourceAlready runs a VPS with netcup and is happy with it. Ordering a second one took just under 48 hours to provision with no status note, which they accept, and they praise the service and use the servers for AI testing and non-production work.
KVM 2 for about 8 months, running n8n, a Postgres container and a couple of small APIs in Docker. 8 GB RAM at that price is hard to beat, and the panel makes snapshots, OS reinstalls and firewall rules easy. I barely touch it beyond SSH. Then I ran a heavy scraping job overnight and the server got throttled hard, everything crawled until the next day. Support pointed me to their CPU usage limits. Uptime otherwise has been fine. Check the renewal price before you pay. The intro rate only covers the prepaid term, after that it's a lot more.
A newer OVH VPS-2 plan gave absolutely awful, CPU-starved performance for a game server, unlike their earlier VPS-3.
View original sourceFinds Hostinger great for most use cases unless bandwidth limits matter, with only good experience in North America.
View original sourceSupport would not respond during outages and afterwards said they saw no problems on their end.
View original sourceThey currently run a VPS with IONOS and have no complaints, though they describe their use case as simple.
View original sourceMoved 26 low-traffic WordPress sites onto one large Contabo VPS with CloudPanel in 2024, using about 9GB of RAM with object caching, and notes disk can drag under load.
View original sourceGoing through last year they found they appear to have been double billed, which they link to shifting billing dates.
View original sourceNewly assigned DDoS-protected IP came cluttered with dozens of old firewall rules and support ignored tickets and refund requests for 17 days.
View original sourceHad two Linux VPSes restart unexpectedly during the outage and could no longer log in with their passwords.
View original sourceRecycled DDoS-protected IPs retained old customer firewall rules without being reset, and mounting issues after the acquisition forced a move to OVH.
View original sourceHad three servers down for over 48 hours with no information from Hostwinds and plans to move to a new host.
