Hello,
a few days ago I got a nice little mail from ionos where I run some VPSs that due to WebPros International GmbH massively hiking their prices they have no other option but to transfer down these price hikes.
Since that would mean a 5-fold price increase for my contracts, I am looking for other hosting providers. The service I need the most is just some super small VPS with a static IP to tunnel all my dynDNS-traffic through so that I can have a static IP linked to my domain and the sorts. Currently I am paying 1EUR per month.
I know that my question probably super basic and that I could just move to any other provider. I just wanted to ask if any of you could (dis-)recommend any providers due to positive or negative experiences?
many thanks in advace and have a pleasant thursday!
I have OVH for dedicated but I’ve also used their VPS and they’re great. They leave me alone, don’t hound me for anything, cheap prices, reliable as I’ve never had issues them. can’t complain. They’re Euro based but they have servers near me in Montreal so I use that which is great when I put my VPN on there cause now I get student discounts everywhere since my server is at McGill University.
I tried OVH, prices seemed great… up until they asked me to verify my info with a picture of a government issued ID.
What the fuck.
really? I never had to do that. They’ve left me alone since I originally signed up with them.
Maybe based on location? idk. It said from the start “after we verify your info”, I didn’t realize they literally wanted pics. I kinda stopped after that, but there seems to be no way to cancel the order, so I’m just letting it sit until it expires.
I know when I tried to sign up with Herztwhatever, the other popular European one, they wanted my ID and I said no way. but yeah OVH has never once asked for mine.
Had to scroll too far down to find this. OVH is great, VPSes are cheap & reliable. Oh, and bandwidth is unlimited… arrr 🏴☠️
