Title: BitVPS alternative?
Post by: Topazan on July 21, 2015, 08:19:24 AM
I don't know what happened to them.  I've used them for years with no problems, but my servers have been down for months with no response to my tickets.  Can anyone recommend another VPS service?

Why don't you use NameCheap? Isn't it good?

A useful article: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Virtual_private_server.

Thanks, guys.  I've used namecheap and cinfu for domain names, didn't realize they provided VPSs.  I'll check them out.

Anyone know what happened to BitVPS?  I heard they were under new management, but the one customer service message I got in the past five months still said James.

If your purpose is just to run Bitcoin daemon, you might try bitnodes.io.

It's not (I want to run websites), but I'll keep them in mind.  Seems weird to charge by the hour for a server, though.

cinfu is very expensive, time4vps is more cheap, i would suggest to use that if they are still active or something else like vmbox or other exotic vps

I'm going to toss a vote for FlipperHost (http://www.flipperhost.com/billing/aff.php?aff=030) (aff link). I've been with them 19 months now and they've been beyond awesome and helpful (even when I broke things on my own VPS). And their cost is only a few dollars a month for 512 MB, and it's like 5.50 for 1GB. Awesome site, and great support. Though they don't take Bitcoin.
