Ask HN: F*ck HostGator. Can anyone suggest a better managed VPS alternative?

6 pointsby vickenabout 11 years ago
I&#x27;m sick of HostGator&#x27;s constant outages, including today&#x27;s. Can anyone recommend a solid managed VPS service not related to BlueHost&#x2F;HostGator?<p>I&#x27;m currently paying $51.95&#x2F;mo for the following and would like to stay in the same price range for similar specs:<p>2.3Ghz (1 core) 1024MB RAM 60GB Disk Space 1000 GB Bandwidth<p>I&#x27;d gratefully appreciate any input.

DigitalOcean!!! You can&#x27;t get a better VPS for their price. Super fast SSD (you feel the difference), almost no outages, extremely easy to setup and you build the stack you want. Stellar customer service. <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.digitalocean.com&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ve had good experiences with Webfaction - they&#x27;ve been quick to respond to tickets and communicate issues&#x2F;outages well.<p>Roughly looking, your setup would be about $20&#x2F;mth with them, I think.<p>Direct link: <a href="https://www.webfaction.com/features" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.webfaction.com&#x2F;features</a><p>Shameless affiliate link, even though I&#x27;d recommend them anyway: <a href="https://www.webfaction.com/features?affiliate=stevejalim" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.webfaction.com&#x2F;features?affiliate=stevejalim</a>

I&#x27;ve heard decent things about WiredTree for managed servers. Decent, not awesome.<p>Bytemark are awesome, and do offer managed servers, but I don&#x27;t know how much they charge for them.

Go for dedicated server for the same price:<p><a href="http://c.gg/ovh" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;c.gg&#x2F;ovh</a><p>That&#x27;s what I use after I ran away from crappying hostgator.

You should definitely check out WiredTree or Future Hosting. They are both fantastic for managed VPS. <a href="http://www.futurehosting.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.futurehosting.com</a> <a href="http://www.wiredtree.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wiredtree.com</a>

I think LiquidWeb is certainly worth considering for a managed VPS in this price range: <a href="http://www.liquidweb.com/StormServers/vps.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.liquidweb.com&#x2F;StormServers&#x2F;vps.html</a>

How strongly do you feel about it being managed? What are you hosting?
