Good that you've put the work in to compile your list, but for anyone new; this is a list of C-tier hosts, and seems to have a pretty strong focus on "privacy" hosts - some of the privacy features can be nice, but it can be a double edged sword. By using a privacy focussed host, you end up co-habitating with other privacy focussed users, which tends to have a higher-than-average concentration of sketchy or outright criminal users. This can have an impact on IP reputation and other operational issues, even if you aren't doing anything sketchy yourself

And if you do know, they are even more sketch

Their vos price isn't bad, but keep in mind no refunds if you buy a year of service.

[-] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Non-refundable registration fees are standard in the industry; I was referring to their notoriously predatory "extra add-ons" that they hard-sell on people. Also, in my experience, they are easily 25-50% more expensive

I recommend checking out lowendtalk.com if you're shopping for VPS hosting providers.

Also recommend https://lowendspirit.com/

AFAIK LET do shenanigans like requiring service providers to pay to create post there now.

That guy again... I just repost what i commented last time:

after looking around on that site, i deeply mistrust the original author about probably everything. using the search term "christchurch shooting was faked"
and arguing that the search results attack conspiracy theories, which means that there is censoring going on - that does not fit my definition of sanity.

e: ah, and the moon landing was fake and covid shots are evil. dudes, this guy is nuts, dont even take the time of the day from him.

it's the same guy but it's not from the same site. that website doesn't have a VPS comparison.

It isn't Digdeeper

I used to use Bytemark, but switched to Mythic Beasts.
