Looking for a VPS. I don't know who to choose. (lemmy.sdf.org)

My main use currently is a modded Minecraft server. But I want a VPS over one of those Minecraft host specifically because I plan on messing around with docker containers later and hosting my own Lemmy instance. Currently I have an openVZ server from TNA hosting because it was like $50 a year. But it's not powerful enough for the Minecraft modpack.

So what VPS provider would you lot recommend?

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: http://i.xno.dev/u/6ZM52h.png

These are the specs: http://i.xno.dev/u/qJeLjE.png And this is proof of the 4th year: http://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 as something comparable on DigitalOcean is $48/mo.

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.

Now my domain costs more than my hosting T__T
