I use a bunch of them - AWS, Linode, Rackspace, DigtalOcean - as well as Hetzner and NineFold. I also "self host" both at home and at work with a few linux boxen, a Mac Mini, and a bunch of RaspberryPis.

I also use webhosting (as opposed to a vps) from a bunch of WHM hosting providors, Dreamhost, and for a handful of WordPress our clients who can easily justify the cost - WPEngine.

I'm using an EDIS[1] KVM and am quite happy with their small offering (I don't really need a whole lot of disk space). Speed is good, reliability/uptime is good, support is quick and friendly, and they have good locations all over Europe (I'm using the Frankfurt/Germany DC). [1]: http://www.edis.at

EDIS looks very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. This is great.

Could you please also allow downloading data as CSV or Excel?

I use DigitalOcean for my (rapidly disappearing) PHP stuff and (shameless plug, am co-founder) PythonAnywhere for my Python stuff.

WiredTree is a wonderful VPS host. I think the difference between them and some of these bigger companies mentioned is that there is a level of personal care and a relationship between customer and company, which is rare in the hosting world.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

DigitalOcean has private networks now, no? https://www.digitalocean.com/blog_posts/introducing-private-...

Digital Ocean has one private network shared amongst all of it's customers. I believe that you can have a software defined network private to only your servers with Rackspace.

Ah, thank you for explaining.
