Hey 👋🏻 I’m picking a VPS provider and could use some advice. What’s most important to you when choosing one?

    In no particular order:

    • Price (if looking to host something low value)
    • Price/performance (if longer-term)
    • Details of Fair Usage Policy
    • Bandwidth limits
    • Overlimit pricing
    • Location - proximity
    • Location - creepiness of government / jurisdiction
    • Reputation of the company - are they scummy? Do they oversell? Is their datacenter about to get yeeted? (cough Dedipath cough)
    • Are they bullshitting me with RAID 100000 PURE SSD STORAGE!!!

    In fact, I actually prefer HDD storage for most of my servers: for most websites, your bandwidth will be a bigger limitation than your data access speed.
