Hey all! I’m looking for a solid and somewhat inexpensive US-based vps provider and it seems like all of the top 10 lists from media sites are focusing on beginner friendliness and web hosting which I don’t really care about

Any favorites?

    I’ve had good experiences with Ramnode and BuyVM, and in the distant past, also Linode.

    Edit: Ramnode has competent support without a lot of time wasted with “cannon fodder” / tier 1 if you have a problem, sounds like that may be an asset for you. They are definitely oriented toward customers who know what they’re doing.

      Just as a counterpoint: I’ve had some bad experiences with Ramnode. This was years ago, but my VPS with them just kinda disappeared (went offline, permanently). And support’s response was basically, yeah that happens sometimes… guess you gotta restore from backup. And this wasn’t an isolated occurrence! It just struck me as total amateur hour over there. Maybe they got better in recent years?
