Serious question: why are you stanning for Pair? Do you work for them?

No, I don't. I am vocal about brands I admire or dislike. One of the ways I was taught to evaluate web hosting companies was to check how long they have been in the business (both the company and the management) as web hosting is an easy business to get into (even today, any Tom, Dick and Harry can start a web hosting business with next to nothing investment by becoming a reseller). Pair hosting is one of the oldest…

Then it's weird you're consistently trying to rebut complaints about Pair in this thread.

Did you even read what I wrote or do you just like to troll when someone says something that is contrary to your point of view?

Some old businesses are still running because they've been able to stay relevant over the long term. And some old businesses are still running because they've been relying on name recognition and customers who can't be bothered to move. Unfortunately, I think Pair is in the latter category.

Businesses that don't change with times do die a slow death. I have no idea how you've come to the conclusion though that Pair is in that category - would you like to clarify?

Off topic: any updates on Linode's Bare Metal service? It's been 2-years since it's been announced as "Coming Soon" and I haven't seen any updates. https://web.archive.org/web/20201116142627/https://www.linod...

Limestone networks ( http://lstn.net ) offers great bare metal services. I used to work there 7-8 years ago and they are a no frills, no bs company. They will give you a good deal also :)

Yep. I use their bare metal cloud and it connects to our whmcs so we’re able to resell it. I did get a better deal than they advertise by asking.

Thanks I’ll revisit them. Had a lot of dedicated servers in my past and turned the self hosting part of my brain off I have also heard iWeb is or was a good choice for value. Montreal data centres can be a well kept secret.

Hetzner's dedicated servers are unbeatable in pricing. Especially the ryzen 5 3600x version.

Thank you I’ll have a look

That’s too bad. Which other vps hosts are folks using these days besides aws/azure/gc? If anyones thinking of switching to digitalocean, I’m currently switching linode from digitalocean who had an unforgivable, catastrophic loss of vm. Digitalocean also prevebts customers from downloading disk image backups offsite for any kind of adult DR. Linode lets you download backup images right from the admin console.

> an unforgivable, catastrophic loss of vm deets?

Deleted everything despite there being a valid cc with plenty of room on the card.

They admitted they didn’t charge like they should have.
