Title: Need a Virtual Private Server
Post by: SjoerdPeeters on August 15, 2014, 05:00:36 PM
Hi,

Yesterday I bought a VPS from Qhoster.com, and paid $32 in BTC.
On my account login I can see the server is online, and I got direct support via Live chat.
The guy told me my Login-In info was in my e-mail and that was correct.
He also told me the server would be active within a hour.

They gave me: https://128.127.106.233:2087 (for login)

Username : root
Password : GGeSDaMvYxmgE3

Additional IP addresses with the server:

128.127.106.244
__________________________________________________________________

When I try to log-in it says: 'The login is invalid.'
Live Chat won't respond anymore so I think I got scammed.

When I started google I founded LibertyVPS but they seem a SCAM too.
Who Is trusted?
I know OVH got trusted VPS with good prices/service, but they don't accept BTC.

Can anyone help?

Regards

Try Chunkhost (if you want to pay in BTC), and DigitalOcean (if you want to pay in FIAT).

Yeah DigitalOcean and OVH are both fine options - you'll have to see if you can get your BTC exchanged for USD (be careful if you're using PP - please trade with trusted members). Check out the currency exchange section (on this forum) if you want to get a trade done.

Oh, for Digital Ocean, do use my referral link (jaja):

Digital Ocean (https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=efa78ea4e769) ... or not, Sad Digital Ocean (https://www.digitalocean.com)

a current promo code is UBUNTUDROPLET for $10 credit on there.

Linode (which is better):

Referral link ;D Linode (https://www.linode.com/?r=92298e46a34309a7a45c0addb52f34ce2dd900e1) ... or not,  :( Linode (https://www.linode.com)

IMO, Linode is much, much better than Digital Ocean.  They had a $50 promo code that expired about a month or so ago, but you can still get a $10 credit with LINODE10 (for Linode, you have to pay $5 before you can use the promo code, I believe) ..  I use the Linode 2048 for two of my bitcoin nodes (japan and london).

there's also Vultr, that had a much better promo that just expired... but you can still get $5 credit from making a new account, w/o having to deposit anything, just have to enter a valid payment method.

Referral:  Vultr (http://www.vultr.com/?ref=6809079[/url), or if you aren't keen on giving me mones, Vultr (http://www.vultr.com)

this other one I'm trying, I'm not too sure about it yet, but I'm using it for the Israel node (two locations in Israel, Petach Tikva and Rosh Haayin), it also has locations in Hong Kong, Amsterdam, New York.  The Hong Kong location has a limit of 200GB per month transfer, the others are 1TB I believe.

ClubVPS (https://www.clubvps.com) ...  you get ONE "free" VPS on there as a new user, up to $100.  Their pricing scheme isn't so hot for bitcoin nodes, unfortunately.  The best I could do with $100 was set up a 2 core, 8GB RAM, 200GB HDD (I just asked them to reduce it to 40GB, since that's all I need... it was essentially just where I put the last $50 or so that I couldn't use anywhere else)... remember that it's just for one VPS, can't use the $100 for multiple VPS's unfortunately.

oh, this gem for Russia,

VStoike.RU (https://vstoike.ru), or directly to the KVM I chose  Order (https://secure.vstoike.ru/index.php?/cart/virtual-server/) ...  About $12.50 for a one CPU, 2GB RAM, 90GB HDD, 100Mbps port (**I think it's dedicated, since I got a solid 11-12MB/s the whole time I was transferring blockchain over) & 3TB monthly traffic... blows any other offers I've seen from Russia out of the water, honestly.  Since it's a KVM, the resources are all dedicated, so the one CPU is plenty (I forget exactly what it is, but it can handle bitcoind fine).  You may be able to get away with using VPS-2 if you dropped the number of orphans stored in memory and what not (about 8.85USD)

oh, forgot Wable..

Wable (Incero) (https://www.wable.com) ... isn't the cheapest budget wise, but for $8/mo you get 3 cpus, 2GB RAM, 50gb SSD, 6TB & 2-20gbps port speed.  Uses a front-end using node.js I think?  Pretty slick.  You can move your resources about freely between Dallas, Seattle, and New York.  It's the first place I've run a speedtest on before and gotten > 1000 Mb/s,  Speedtest (http://nogleg.com/speedtest.png)...  that's from the Dallas location.  It also got over 1000Mb/s to a Houston & Oklahoma (forget the city) test location..  With bundle 3 you can also freely set your rDNS..  (also one of the cheapest VPS providers w/ their 1st bundle @ 0.75/mo, but won't be able to run bitcoind off of that obviously)

and last edit... re: bitcoin payments:

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1402950

I've used them a few times, I believe they're wholly owned by Colocrossing now... if not, they're a Colocrossing reseller.  But, anyway, you can pay w/ bitcoins there and they have a 75% off for a month on dedicated servers promo right now (very easy to cancel).  They also have some VPS', but I've never tried those.

I personally use FlipperHost (Aff) (http://www.flipperhost.com/billing/aff.php?aff=030) and LOVE them. I went from host to host until I ran into them. The owner himself is very responsive via live chat and responds pretty quickly via email as well.

In the past 6 months or so now I've had two times of downtime. One was due to a DDOS on the main node and one was due to an issue at the datacenter itself. Both times I was given about 10x the downtime as a credit (the last downtime was for about 12h and I was given an extra 14 days to compensate).

Definitely worth looking into. I love them, :). They're also ridiculously cheap.
