Has run a VPS on Leaseweb infrastructure through a reseller and reports no problems with it.

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 Leaseweb is raising prices and that support is poor, and is migrating away from it.

Hit 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.

Is moving a 100-site plan away from Nexcess after a year of decline: the price rose from $638 to $849 a month with no added benefits, PHP patching took over a day with little communication, and the included CDN and automatic updates did not work reliably. 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.

Was a Liquid Web customer for close to a decade and had several frustrating support experiences. When the renewal email threatened a 12% increase unless a one-year commitment was signed, it confirmed the decision to move to another host.

Got the same Liquid Web renewal email but their increase is only 5% on a good original deal. Notes the price freeze now requires paying twelve months up front instead of monthly, and they do their own monitoring and troubleshooting anyway.

Was with Liquid Web from the start and left two years ago. Says the company went from a favourite to one that made them sick after the private-equity buyout, and recommends looking elsewhere.

Left Liquid Web over poor service and saved $100/month with a DigitalOcean droplet and RunCloud.

Has been migrating sites off their Liquid Web hosting for the last few months and plans to cut ties as soon as possible.

A RISE-S dedicated server had a faulty RAM module corrupting memory, and standard support would not replace it without a pricey 12-month support upgrade that wouldn't cover the weekend anyway.

Moved dedicated servers from OVH, IONOS and Arsys to Hetzner and calls the flexibility the best decision in over 20 years.

Finds Hetzner support not useful and only contacts it to request a KVM.

Hetzner price increases made dedicated servers ridiculously expensive, about 5x before.

Hetzner dedicated servers are still cost efficient for long-held servers, but new VMs are not.

Got a 256 GB auction server with lots of disks for 130 euros a month and runs Proxmox on it.

Quit Hetzner dedicated servers over what they consider ridiculous setup fees and uncompetitive pricing.

A 2022 server was throttled from 100 Mbps to 10 Mbps with no explanation, so they cancelled it and will not return.
Reddit · r/hetzner · 49 days ago
With 3 Hetzner servers and 3 elsewhere for redundancy, Hetzner uptime is about 100 percent over two years.

OVH raised the price by 47% a month after the provisioning fee was paid.
Reddit · r/homelab · 59 days ago
A company had to move all international customers from OVH to AWS because of kernel panics, flaky connectivity and unhelpful support; Email Pro tasks got stuck for hours or days and API changes broke automation without notice.

Longtime customer since 2015 and hardware provisioning has always completed within minutes to a few hours alongside fast tech support.
