While I'd give them a whirl on their lower tier, their pricing for their largest instance (16384 MB/4 vCPU/200 GB/7 TB, $160 for Linux) isn't that competitive.

(non-affiliated plug) I've been using http://RunAbove.com http://RunAbove.com for something this large, and it's an absolute steal. They're backed by OVH.
Versus a similarly-specced DigitalOcean node for $240 (2.5x RunAbove the cost), we were seeing a performance increase of 35% on our high-volume API.
And that's on non-tuned Postgres/Rails4/Redis Docker containers.
- srcmap 12y agoFor this price/ram/cpu needs, does it make more sense to do colo your own server? I see colo 1U server normally ~100 per month.
- joshmn 12y agoIt would! However colocating requires money upfront to buy the hardware. It's a good long-term play but short-term you don't really see the benefits. There are other things to worry about too, such as remote hands, which we really don't want to deal with.
