I have been using OVH to host my main projects They offer dedicated servers for the hobby market, at unbeatable prices (http://kimsufi.fr http://kimsufi.fr, you'll have to look for your local OVH distributor), but also top-level servers at very good price. Plus they're very good (have awesome peering/transit quality, unbeatable prices, 3 datacenters and 10 years of experience).
For my own thing, I've got a shared hosting at SurpassHosting.com. I used to rely on Dreamhost to host my blog and do random tests, but they're just crap. Surpass is just good for what I need in those cases...
- AdamGibbins 17y agoOVH are - OK But they have absolutely terrible support, heaven forbid if your server goes down or experiences a hardware failure - its often a battle just to get them to replace hardware. They also throttle FTP traffic. Although, apart from the throttling and assuming your box never dies, yes OVH are good.
- adrinavarro 17y agoI have a pretty good contact with the old-skool OVH community and their administrators. And I can say that they don't throttle any traffic at all! (I'm sure of that) And their support may be pretty bad if you have a non-pro offer. That means that if you get a 200€/month box you'll have a pretty awesome, first-class support. But if you have a 20€/month box and your hard drive dies, you'll have to wait one day or two. That seems fair to me.
- _Lemon_ 17y agoI have 300 servers from the Kimsufi to PRO and the support is pretty much the same. As for the throttling, that doesn't happen (as far as I'm aware) however they do have poor peering connections to the US so it's pretty normal to get 5kb/s there which is much worse.
