While that uptime looks good, I don't think that's difficult to achieve on a box doing essentially nothing......

#43I use rimuhosting. Been with them 8 years and love their customer support (they're not afraid to dig in and help you with technical issues). Best of all, you can order their VPS and scale that out to a full dedicated server with minimal downtime. I recommend them to everyone I can.

#45Hetzner. Great price and hardware, but disks failures are a joke though.

#46DigitalOcean. We moved from Rackspace, we pay half the price and get double the performance. I still miss private networks and additional storage, but everything else is great.
Interesting. Going to check em out.

#47If you are looking at the other extreme - i.e extremely cheap VPS - check out http://lowendbox.com/ - you can get some pretty decent ones for $10 a year
I've heard about those cheap VPS that simply disappear from existence.
Unless is something completely disposable, I'd rather pay 5$/month and go with something like Digital Ocean that I can be pretty sure will last for years.

#48I use digital ocean for my personal stuff, AWS is being used by our startup.
I've heard that Heroku has become incredibly slow (thus expensive to scale) in comparison to alternatives like plain AWS or even the Azure platform.
Have you guys seen this happen?

Avoid LowEndBox.
Owned by ColoCrossing, and ColoCrossing providers get posted ASAP. They also lied about owning it for a year, until someone found out.
