On a related note, what's a good place to host a high-bandwidth server? We want to host a backend for gaming, with video interspersed.
Do you guys know of any other alternatives? I'm curious what's available these days. I'm asking about dedicated server options.
Shameless plug time! My own company, Uptano, is doing something kind of neat with dedicated servers. We're letting you rent dedicated hardware and then launch multiple virtual servers on them. https://uptano.com We're not trying to be the absolute cheapest, just trying to be the company we wished to exist.
Question: Do all my 8 VSs have to reside on the same host? If the host goes down, it will take all my VSs with it. Any way of getting the same number of VSs but distributed across hosts?

Paying about 20 Euros / month or so.
At one point I was considering finding a dedicated server in the U.S. but I was surprised: apparently the prices weren't that competitive compared to OVH (I was looking for a full dedicated box, not a shared one nor instances).

not true. http://www.ovh.pl/serwery_dedykowane/kimsufi.xml https://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/kimsufi.xml etc. They operate from France, but have offices in Poland and all over Europe. there are no admins in here though AFAIK, every support request is just forwarded to France.
FYI, all OVH servers have a backdoor preinstalled on them. You'll want to: echo "" > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 rm -rf /usr/local/rtm echo "" > /etc/crontab killall -9 rtm We used OVH for some testing/dev boxes and ended up adding OVH specific puppet configs to clean up the box. Edit: Oh and on Windows you need to hit up Add/Remove programs and uninstall 'Corp SSH'

It's not mandatory. And the ssh key added enforces the source IP address of requests.
I just have ONE objection: If you plan to do something professional with them, just, don't.
For them, every client is dispensable (even if you rent 200 servers or more). They won't hesitate a single second to delete your server if they have a small problem with you (for example, getting DDoS'd).
OVH have shutdowned servers from a small association who was offering hosting, on the basis that the server made 3 DNS request to some "weird" server in Poland, for example.
So, it's okay for personal stuff, and, backup everything- your data is definitely not safe on their servers.
