Hi guys,
I noticed my VPS becomes very slow during high disk IO usage, so I contacted the provider. They confirmed that the system drive was capped. They said I would need to upgrade to a higher plan if I want better disk performance.
I'm curious how you guys usually deal with this. Do you just upgrade, use a separate data disk, or move to another provider?
Hostinger India provides a huge first year discount and like many others, I fell for it! The pricing was attractive and India location was a bonus.
Skip forward to today, I have the plan renewing in August at over 4X the price. Since it’s a hobby project, I am okay with completely leaving hostinger, get my domain from cloudflare and a different VPS. But goddamn the asia market and IONOS reviews!
I’m currently looking for minimum 2c,4GB,60GB NVMe, seeing pricing in Asia I’m actually ready to go for Europe! The EIG(Europe India Gateway) link actually got a decent upgrade and I see low enough latency and low jitter to EU. I eventually ended up torn between:
IONOS M+ (36euro: insane value, EPYC milan,double the cores and storage but REALLY REALLY HORRIBLE REVIEWS)
Hostup XS: (38euro, EPYC milan, less cores/storage to IONOS, sweden does not sit on EIG so kinda worried about latency and network consistency)
bigRock: (~43euro, EPYC unknown, same setup as hostup but more NVMe storage, INDIA location is the only plus, the OS variants are ancient Ubuntu 22 and no debian option!)
Serverhost: (33euro, exact specs I require but on an old intel E5, dublin location)
I am willing to spend upto 50$ and don’t mind annual signups. IONOS(.de not .com) would’ve been perfect if it wasn’t for horrible reviews.
Hey everyone,
I'm hunting for a storage VPS or hosting provider with large HDD capacity (or multiple servers). Important: I'm not looking for object storage – I need actual block/file storage I can mount and use normally.
My current cheapest find: $1.30/TB (~€1.11/TB)
Has anyone found something more affordable from a reputable, official provider? Private setups aren't an option for me.
Would love to hear what you're using or what you've come across!
Hi everyone,
I'm currently looking to rent a dedicated server based in the Netherlands. I should preface this by saying I'm just a regular user. I'm not a hardcore systems administrator or network guru. I just need a reliable server that runs smoothly without me having to micromanage the hardware. I don't even know what the different of managed dedicated server or unmanaged dedicated server.
I did some surveying and looked at the big names like Leaseweb, Netrouting, OVHcloud, and Openprovider. While their prices are tempting, I get the feeling that their customer support is very "do-it-yourself," which makes me a bit nervous if things go wrong.
From a normal user's perspective, they caught my eye because they seem a lot more approachable. They give off a "boutique" vibe where it feels like you can actually get a hold of a real human if the server goes down, rather than waiting days for an automated ticket response from a giant corporation.
Before I make a final decision, I would love to hear from people here.
Any honest opinions, expert people in this area or shared experiences would be incredibly helpful for me.
Thank you!
So i currently rent a VPS-5 on OVHCloud, and i notice that i need way more performance, now i looked at Hetzner, Netcup, and OVHcloud Dedicated, Hetzner is already a no go because setup fee's are ridiculous expensive. Netcup goes up by €20/30 if u want to pay monthly instead of 12month periode,
and OVH has a setup fee aswell but 3x less then Hetzner is charging.
The dedicated servers i have looked at are:
Netcup: Netcup RS 8000 G12
Hetzner: EX63
OVHcloud: RISE-S / RISE-M
I run a discord bot on it and 2 soulmask servers and a minecraft server.
If you guys were in my shoes what would you choose?
I want a vps with atleast 2 vcpu (preferably amd) and 6-8 gb of ram under 10$. Which provider is the best to go with
Wow, over 5 hours down, getting a 502, Google “blocked their account”, and no ETA. I like Railway, but when you’re losing clients... it’s hard to justify staying.
I keep coming back to DHH’s move, using a VPS like Hetzner.
Hetzner looks ridiculously generous. But the real question is the devops time.
Anyone here actually using Hetzner in production?
Please, share your real experience. how many projects you run, how often you deal with outages,how much time you end up spending on devops.
And if anyone wants to share their experience with any alternative, I'd be glad to hear it.

A few months ago I posted a web site that I built to show hostile bot traffic hitting my seemingly unprotected VPS. Since then, I have expanded the honeypot to support Telnet, FTP, RDP, SMB, SIP, HTTP, SMTP, in addition to SSH. The site now shows all of my idlers (8) feeding into a single aggregate display. See the bots' locations, favorite usernames, passwords, an ISP Wall of Shame, and more, all of which can be filtered by protocol.

Have fun, and send comments or questions.
Constant stability issues. The infrastructure is just not reliable. The support team avoids responsibility and offers no real technical assistance when the server abruptly reboots. Save yourself the headache and financial loss, choose a transparent cloud provider that actually stands behind its services.
A bit over an hour ago, my Hostsailor VPS dropped offline, and when I tried to investigate, it seems like all their websites are down, even the status page. Does anybody have any information about what's going on with them?
EDIT: my VPS is now accessible but only via IPv6, and can communicate outbound via IPv6 only, no IPv4 in or out and all Hostsailor sites are still down
i use vray render on sketchup sometimes i have big project too many shoots , can i programe somehow a vps so i upload the file .skp/.dwg < then the vps open and go from scene to scene and render the shoots ?
Hi everyone,
I recently created an account on OVHcloud and purchased a VPS. The payment went through successfully, and the money was charged to my card.
However, when I logged into the OVHcloud control panel, there was no VPS listed, no active service, and nothing showing under my account.
After that, I tried to contact support. When I entered my email and password, the platform said that my account did not exist or that the credentials were invalid. I then had to create the account again using the same email, but after logging in, there was still no VPS, no order, and no service associated with the account.
So now I have been charged for a VPS, but I have no access to the service, no visible order, and the original account seems to have disappeared or was never properly created.
Has anyone experienced something similar with OVHcloud? How long does it usually take for the VPS or order to appear? Should I wait, open a support ticket, or directly dispute the charge with my bank?

hey does anyone know a VPS with a genuine free tier (no free trials) that don’t ask for a payment method that would allow me to run a Minecraft server. 24/7 uptime is preferred but I would be fine with renewing the server every 24 hours to keep it from shutting down. it is going to be running velocity, a limbo server, and a 1.21.11 paper backend, so 16gb of RAM and 4 vcores at most is probably the best. please don’t roast me for being broke as I don’t actually have any payment methods
Hi guys, so I'll be mostly using the VPS for personal projects deployment, and I would also need a bit more storage like 200gb for hosting up my photos using immich. What is the most reliable cost effective VPS to use in India. And which one to get exactly?
Hey everyone, I’m setting up a Hostinger VPS plan to run my Hermes Agent and I’m at the checkout stage.
The plan is to have an always on agent handling workflows, automation, maybe some dev tasks. If it works the way I think it does this is going to change how I work completely.
One thing I’m stuck on before I hit continue - they’re pushing a daily auto backup add on for 6$/mo.
For context I’m planning to run live agent tasks on this thing. If something corrupts mid run or the config gets wiped I’d probably want to restore fast. But is it actually necessary or just a nice upsell?
Anyone running agents or automations on VPS - do you bother with backups or just rebuild from scratch when something breaks?
Hi everyone,
I am writing this post out of sheer frustration and disappointment. I just want to share my recent terrible experience with CloudCone and warn anyone who is considering using their services.
I’ve been a loyal follower and customer of CloudCone for over 7 years. I used to love their services, always kept an eye on their promotional emails, and stayed with them through thick and thin. Even during their massive server crash/data loss crisis months ago that took forever to resolve, I remained patient and supported them.
But their recent automated system and support have pushed me over the edge.
Here is what happened: I am currently using a $14/year promo VPS. There is still a prepaid balance left in my account. I barely touch this VPS—I only use it occasionally to test vanilla VPS management scripts (for domains and hosting panels). Everything I do is standard, clean, and never causes any issues on other providers.
Yet, CloudCone has completely locked my account for the second time now without any valid explanation or prior warning.
What makes it worse is their current support. I opened a ticket and emailed them 2 days ago asking for a clear reason, and I have received absolutely zero response. They are completely ghosting me while holding my money and my active service.
It feels like they are systematically banning low-cost promo accounts or just letting their flawed anti-fraud bots run wild without human supervision.
After 7 years of loyalty, being treated like a scammer while paying upfront is unacceptable. If you are looking for a reliable low-end VPS provider with decent uptime and actual customer support, stay away from CloudCone. They are not the company they used to be.
Has anyone else experienced these random account locks or getting ghosted by their support team recently?

P.S. for CloudCone reps if you are reading this: My registered email starts with ngo***hongphuc@... (opened a ticket 2 days ago). Please look into this and give me a proper response.
I’m currently looking for a budget-friendly VPS located in Malaysia with these requirements:
I don’t need high specs, just something stable and affordable with decent network performance.
If anyone has recommendations or experience with any providers, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
The starting prices looks really cheap, but when it''s time to renew,the cost goes up a lot.I know most companies gives first time discounts but the price difference feels too high sometimes.
What do you guys usually do?
