Has run a VPS on Leaseweb infrastructure through a reseller and reports no problems with it.
View original sourceHit a ghost keyboard input problem installing an OS through Hetzner's KVM on a dedicated server. Support swapped the KVM, which partly fixed it, though a USB image error remained and they finished the install another way.
Has been a Leaseweb customer since 2019. Finds it never the cheapest but consistently better on support response and assistance, which matters for their business.

Says the speeds are still great but would not recommend it.
Has a dedicated server with Liquid Web bought in 2024 and was told it would rise about 51% on 17 days notice. The old price can only be kept by paying twelve months up front, which they find hard to afford as a self-employed customer.
