An honest review of extraordinary providers

flips · December 2020

I've been planning on writing a nice review for @seriesn's NexusBytes for a while. They are offering a very good, performant and stable service. And when there was some hardware issue, it was promptly fixed, and I ended up with an even better deal. Not to mention Jay's friendly service and helpful support. And it's also amazing how he values existing customers (family), giving access to new perks/addons and favorable pricing. Outstanding!
Great host offering good prices and quality service in good locations. Feel free to signup using my NexusBytes aff.link.

When that's written, I also feel like praising a few other great providers:

MXroute's services provide excellent value for money, unrivaled quality email for low prices. Been using MXroute for some years now, and all my previous worries from using shared web hosting's included email hosting have vanished. And @jarland's been very helpful numerous times, so much that I purposefully hang around in the support chat to try to help out when I'm able to.

Inception Hosting and @AnthonySmith has also been great. I have had rock stable services at great prices. As my needs changed, Anthony helped me out, and for my use, the UK Clouvider location is just perfect (great connectivity)!
Aff.link: Inception Hosting

For shared web hosting I should also mention @MikePT's offerings. Great performing and stable shared and reseller web services by MyW.pt (aff.link). I've also gotten great and quick support for the few, small issues that surfaced. Recommended!

Honorable mentions: @mikho's mrvm.net and Gullo's Hosting by @cam!

I just realized the title might give association with more critical reviews. But this really is my honest opinion. All hosts have technical issues every now and then, but with these, I feel I've been so well taken care of, and issues have been sorted quickly.

(As for critical/more angry reviews, I try not to write those when I'm angry, as my anger clouds my judgements. And I don't feel I need to warn of any of my bad experiences right now.)

Your name reminds me of old flippy who was in Loud House.

InceptionHosting · December 2020

Thanks for the mention.

seriesn · December 2020

My man, thank you for mentioning us .

Also this is probably the first time, I came across a review where it is grouped with others. Impressive and pretty neat

Of those mentioned here I have only used MXroute. Still am. They are powering 5 domains of mine, my family, and a shitload of relays for my self-hosted software (you know, typical notification stuff). All with a $30/3 years Black Friday 2018 package that I almost feel guilty to possess.

Thanks for this @flips. I have also committed to keep praising good providers here and the other green website. So many people complaining all around.

Seems not the 1st time mentioning.

You are among the best three VPS providers of 2019, remember that? Or maybe my poor memory? The other two are BuyVM and Virmach.

Ok, my poor memory. Fact check below.

Reviews are reviews written in an explicit way, in many occasions, by one person or an individual columnist.
Polls are implicit reviews in terms of behavior, in such occasions, people review by sending their votes.

So, any expectations or wishes in this year's LET billboard?

True true and while would love to be on the top 3, there are many amazing and awesome providers here and thus, if we can make it to top 10, without bribing anyone, I will be more than happy .

Here’s my Take on top 4 (in no particular order)
Hetzner,
Buyvm,
Ramnode,
Inception hosting.

Funny enough, I have service ls with all of the above

Actually, you've been spelling it wrong all this time but nobody had the heart to tell you.

I don't have current service with any of the above. They are too premium for me.

I had two of my firsts with these providers.
My first KVM box was from RamNode in 2012, 256MB, $11.35 quarterly. I canceled after one quarter because OpenVZ is cheaper.
My first NAT box was from Inception Hosting in 2013, €3.00 annually. I canceled after 4 years because I found it idling for the final year.

Sometimes the specs for comparing might be confusing. For example a NexusBytes Ryzen or a Inception Hosting 2276G KVM node with 1 vcpu: I would need 3 or 4 vcpu's to get the same performance with Virmach's flash deals ... So while prices might be premium for lowend, you actually get value for the money. Not to mention included stuff, like ApisCP with NexusBytes, or DA with IH's London nodes.
