Ask HN: alternative to slicehost/linode? (need FreeBSD)

5 pointsby markupover 15 years ago

I need a FreeBSD VPS, can anyone recommend a reliable hosting company with prices (and virtualized hardware) similar to slicehost/linode? I found rootbsd.net but don't know anyone who can relate on them.

I'm using RootBSD and I haven't run into any major problems.

<a href="http://johncompanies.com/" rel="nofollow">http://johncompanies.com/</a> does FreeBSD VPS hosting. I haven't used them myself, but they've been around for years and years and seem to have a good reputation. Their prices are a bit higher than Slicehost/linode, though.

You can run FreeBSD on Linode: <a href="http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/BSD_Howto" rel="nofollow">http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/BSD_Howto</a> - However, last I checked, FreeBSD under Xen didn't support SMP (or 64 bit).

prgmr.com does VPS's also, and you should be able to install FreeBSD on their VPS
