Hey 👋🏻 I’m picking a VPS provider and could use some advice. What’s most important to you when choosing one?
You must log in or register to comment.
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.
Your skill level vs there support knowledge base and they type of support you may need.
Which benchmarks should one compare between providers?
