#42Quick rundown of alternatives and up/downsides (e.g. everybody has Debian so that's not noteworthy) of which I've personally used the first four: - DigitalOcean has FreeBSD has Fedora - Vultr has FreeBSD has Fedora - Linode has Fedora cheaper than the others relatively fast CPUs e.g. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz UI not as nice as the others' - Exoscale has OpenBSD - CloudScale only does daily (rather tha…

Sorry about that, we're back up now!

#44IPv6? If not, this is a non-starter.
Unfortunately the DC we're at has yet to implement IPv6.

Still need to add credit card details. Can understand why you might want to do that, but it is now a barrier too high for me in order to just try out something which could be interesting. EDIT: As per the comment below, this does indeed work. I initially tried on my phone and I kept seeing an error to complete the missing fields. On my desktop, it worked. Thanks.
You can get the free credit if you just press ENTER after entering the promo code (without needing to enter the credit card details). It's not very intuitive, but it worked for me.
I've fixed this by adding a button for replying :)

Looks like they were rebooting or something. All working fine now, got the $5 credit using the promo code LAUNCH (without cc)... Can't wait to spin up an instance and try things out!!

ovh is a cheaper (& better?) alternative : https://www.ovh.com/us/vps/vps-ssd.xml OpenStack KVM 1 vCore 2.4 GHz 2 GB RAM 10 GB SSD Local RAID 10 $3.49/month
I'm currently running some OVH boxes and my largest gripe is the low storage space. That's the only thing that would draw me to another provider
Scaleway (scaleway.com) offers similar pricing to OVH but with more storage. They only have a datacenter in France, though, so if you use the OVH data center in Québec it will not be of much use.
I personally haven't tried them, but they are part of Iliad, the large French telecom / Internet business, so I would expect them to be reliable and to stick around.

Wow those look like an amazing deal! Storage really is my bottleneck on a couple of projects...
I'm in the UK so France is perfect.
Thanks

Whats wrong with using Dreamhost for nameservers, does it make any difference at all?
Not the op of that comment, but in my experience, DH is something to be avoided :) it's been a few years, but still have unpleasant memories of cryptic errors, stability issues, and a clunky control panel.
What hosting providers in that range are better?
I'm fairly satisfied with them, but I only really use static web hosting for low traffic sites. Apparently their mailing list services go down all the time.
Compared to the hosting provider I used over a decade ago, 1and1, Dreamhost is top notch... but I'd like to hear of anything better. I still believe in shared hosting!!!

If feasible development wise, you could also try 'outsourcing' your storage to S3 or something similar.
