Get a Hetzner dedicated server. Don't mess with vps once it gets that large. Look on hetzner.com/sb for auction servers that might be better deals than regular ones. And does your 800gb of storage really have to be all SSD? Hard disks still exist and cost lots less.
If you want cheap and simple - Time4VPS. I am with them for a couple of years and for the price there is nothing really to complain about. If you take 2y contract, the cheapest plans are like €2.5/month.
If you do decide to maybe go with them, it would be appreciated if you could use my affiliate link, otherwise... just type Time4VPS into google. They are based in Lithuania.
I haven't used any of them, but in addition to the suggestions here, there is also Infomaniak which is a Swiss provider. They seem to have better reviews on trustpilot.
You could try getting your hands on an OVH dedicated server: https://eco.ovhcloud.com/en-ie/
I've abandoned Contabo a couple of months ago and I've never been happier! One of the worst customer service ever and the resources that they specify in the plans don't seems real to me.
One man's dream VPS is another man's nightmare VPS.
I do business with Contabo. They did raise my monthly by $1. I'm still with them, I have had no real issues with their service. I also do business with Ethernet Services. They are bare bones, no frills, hosters. I pay $25 per year with them so I don't really expect that much in return except for keeping everything online and they do a fairly good job of it. Their service tickets are slow, but they'll get around to you.
LuxVPS is my latest host. I get more bang for buck from them:
- Black Luxury Deal #1
-
4 vCores (Xeon Gold 6150) - 26 GB DDR4 RAM
- 150 GB Raid 1 NVMe
- 1 Gbit internet speed | 40 TB Traffic
- 1x IPv4
- 1x /64 IPv6
- 3.2Tbit Premium DDoS Protection
- 24/7 Ticket Support
- 4 Backups
- For ONLY 10€/Mo (recurring)
Their only caveat is that you have to pay extra for mail ports.
Saving this thread just in case. I started my journey with Contabo a month ago and they seem pretty okay, so I'm sad to see they do not treat revising customers well 😟
Let us know what you went with, bro!
Have a look to Netcup provider. They have easter specials coming up! I have three servers running there for longer time and am really happy with it (vps + root). But i am located in Europe, don't know if speed in US is okay..
I used to use prgmr, I still do but they call themselves TornadoVPS now. Haven't had any issues.
Check out lowendtalk, it's often smaller providers but you can find some good deals there.
You can take a look to UNIVIRTUAL or OVH. Both are based in Europe (Switzerland and France). I've had good experience with both so far. OVH is huge, so get a answer from the support can be tricky. UNIVIRTUAL is more responsive and reactive if you need assistance.
