Comment on Looking for a VPS. I don't know who to choose.

I just swapped from ssdNodes to MassiveGRID and I’m pretty happy with them so far (I’m sure there are much better VPS hosts out there). They just extended the sale they posted on lownedboxes through the weekend, so if you pay for 3 years, you get a 4th for free and you also lock-in the pricing for after that 4 year period, too. This is the thread.

If you do decide to order (before Monday) make sure you sign up and make a post in the lowendbox forum thread to get your extra year.

The only real downside to them is they only offer 1Gbps connections for right now (they’re upgrading so you can order multi-Gbps connections in the future), but I’m able to max out the connection: i.xno.dev/u/6ZM52h.png

These are the specs: i.xno.dev/u/qJeLjE.png And this is proof of the 4th year: i.xno.dev/u/0xN6Z0.png

So I ended up paying $141.28 for 4 years which is $2.94/mo. Very worth it, IMO considering the specs.

Thank you. I was paying that yearly for my VPS with half the specs.

  Ya, like I said. I jumped on them because of the price. The hardware isn’t the most powerful in the world, but to run my hosted services it’s been excellent so far. I’m super happy and I’m paying next to nothing which is great.

Oooh this seems like a really good value

  That’s what I said. I liked ssdNodes too, but they’re much more expensive. I generally troll around lowendbox every now and again for good deals and when I saw this one I checked it out and decided to take the plunge. I like them so far.
  
  Disk read/writes are a little slow because they use ceph volumes for H/A storage, but there are tons of benchmarks in that lowendbox thread. I highly recommend you check them out before you order and make sure they’ll be good enough for you. But if they are, should be a good value.

    I forgot to warn you about that! I got the same thing and opened a ticket about it: i.xno.dev/u/B0C5Fe.png
    
    It took about an hour for the VM to come online. haha, sorry.
