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 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
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 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.
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:

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!
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.
Hetzner is pretty solid imo
For me Hetzner cloud is on the top, fair pricing (especially comparing to top cloud providers), very quick instance creation, pretty versatile - for example you can create an internal network between dedicated servers in hetzner and their cloud instances.
I just realized this was /c/sysadmin and I'm just using it for homelab stuff so ymmv
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.
Linode has similar pricing and is stable for me.
If you are looking for true enterprise hosting go for AWS, GCP or Azure.
