For just (at least these days) reliable metal I would second OVH. I have been running servers there for 15 years, starting with support in French only. They used to have issues but now they are, for me, best bang for my buck: storage, cpu etc for spidering setups, experimenting, non critical heavy experiments etc. I have many servers which went from that kind of status to full prod because of convenience and they have not let me down through several major version debian updates.
- daddykotex 10y ago+1 for OVH as well. Super stable VM for a very good prixe.
- herbst 10y agoprice is amazing but the support can suck hard. I had one of my servers down for over 12 hours (even thought i noticed it instantly) because they claimed the issue is on my site. After 12 hours, many telephonates and so more they wrote a simple semi automated email that they found a broken cable and fixed it... Still pissed to this day, but yeah the price for the power is amazing.
- tluyben2 10y agoYep; that's why basically, don't use it for prod. Unless the service does not suffer from major down times. Which is more often than you think although ofcourse sit owners stress when there is downtime.
