My main use currently is a modded Minecraft server. But I want a VPS over one of those Minecraft host specifically because I plan on messing around with docker containers later and hosting my own Lemmy instance. Currently I have an openVZ server from TNA hosting because it was like $50 a year. But it’s not powerful enough for the Minecraft modpack.
So what VPS provider would you lot recommend?
Just tried massiveGRID and their VPS have massive issues. They randomly halt for a second to 5 seconds and just stops responding to any call. Sometime I randomly see a packet with 1000ms to 2000ms with no reason, while CPU usage is under 10% and the server is basically idling (on a simple ping).
This shit happens every minute or so, it’s so annoying
Avoid.
This is mind-blowing to me. I’ve been using them for several months now and not had a single issue yet. I feel like a dick suggesting them as a provider when people are having issues with them, but I’ve not had a single one.
This is a ping graph over an hour directly connected to my VPS with them: https://x0.at/daqx.png
The connection speed isn’t stellar by any means, certainly well below the advertised–but they’re shared VPS, so that’s really to be expected. My uptime is 38 days since I last restarted my server because of a DDoS. The benchmarks were underwhelming, but considering I’m paying like, $2-3/mo for them, I’m okay with it. I even use this server to as a reverse_proxy for Jellyfin and it works just fine, no issues whatsoever. Transferred over 260GB in the past few days alone streaming HD content.
I’m looking hard for flaws but they’re no better, but no worse than any provider I’ve ever had. 🤷♂️
You’re not a dick at all! It seems a bit random. They’ve moved my VPS somewhere else and the issues are now more rare but still happen from time to time
What’s the thing you use to visualize the ping? I’d like to set it up myself to check as well
