Bitcoin Forum

Hello I am currently renting a server from OVH, I notice that 2-3 times a month we will experience downtime due to the fact the network our server is on ends up getting attacked. I am wondering if anyone can fill me in on the sites or services the exchanges use to stay online and have a secure server. I can tell you I pay now about $60 US a month for the server and we pay for Cloudflare Pro as well. I am seeing allot of big sites going with Amazon any tips would be appreciated

Namecheap offer vps I think and they accept Bitcoin.

I have never really heard of anyone using them for VPS hosting before, Prob would not be someone I host with as I tried there oversold webhosting a year or two ago and that was not good.

have you try digitalocean ?
im still using it
cheap and good services

I have tried them in the past and was changed extra for server usage that I was not using.I am wondering who most of the exchanges are using, I have seen allot of people using hosting from amazon but there more of a cloud hosting I am not sure if they do VPS servers.

host1plus? or tragicserver

there is also hostripples with plenty of servers and "edis" also with plenty of region/servers

I would recommend https://www.bitronictech.net/bitcoin-vps.php (https://www.bitronictech.net/bitcoin-vps.php).

Used them for months,never had a downtime.I hosted a btc faucet there with arround 6k visitors daily.

I recommend you to use this website http://www.hosting24.com/ with cPanel , It has CloudFlare all it needs they are also ddos protected by them selfs .
I was with them for about 2 months and never got my forum down , not even for a second . they offer the best support and you get quick answers on the Ticket system. also Sometimes they do your work instead of you (transfering files etc .. to other providers)

They don't accept Bitcoin as payment method tho , only Verified/Unverified Paypal accounts & Credit Cards I believe
Hope this helped  8)

For unmanaged VPS hosts, DigitalOcean is always one of top choices. It has proved itself to be a reliable VPS host. Vultr was established just about 8 months ago, however, its specifications look pretty good. If you don’t want to sign up with DigitalOcean for any reason, Vultr is a good alternative. RamNode is the best choice if you are looking for some low-end box offers.
For managed VPS hosts, consider the offers from WiredTree and KnownHost if you have a limited budget. LiquidWeb is a much larger company and its plans usually cost a bit more than the rest. In return, it’s plans include generous disk space and transfer. LiquidWeb’s technical support is also excellent and it promises that any questions will be responded within 59 seconds.

LOL at all you guys and your cheap beginner hosts Hosting 24 is by far the most oversold seller or one of them around you will find 10 bad reviews for every good one I used them as well over the past 10 years. Please do not mention to me some new start up or re seller Im not looking for amateur hosting 

Again not looking to for start up companies

Alright , sorry because I was just trying to help you here .
I hope you find what you are looking for man , GOod luck .

No need to be sorry, just none of the sites mentioned would be useful, None can be trusted with what I am looking for that is why i am trying to find out what site most of the exchanges use but there ip's are masked with cloudflare like mine.

I'd recommend you have a look at http://lowendbox.com as they've got many good VPS Services options.

As to specific services I'd highlight https://libertyvps.net and http://www.qhoster.com/vps.html which are good services with the advantage that they accept cryptocurrencies as payment method.

Thanks I have tried qhoster before and did not have any problems with it but would not use it on anything with large amount of funds on it. Anyone here ever use amazon or have known someone who has and had a good experience.

Reportedly bitstamp is using at least some of AWS now.  (https://www.bitstamp.net/article/bitstamp-is-open-for-business-better-than-ever/).  I have a non Bitcoin related server there at AWS EC2 (for 7-8 years now) and while not the least expensive, is quite reliable. (I also have a non Bitcoin server at both digitalocean and Rackspace and have been happy with both of them). 

For Bitcoin, there are always risks for not doing your own hosting on your own machine(s).

Thanks for sharing your experience, I appreciate it and thanks for the tip.

I really liked www.bsdvm.com
They worked pretty well for what I used them for.
I get nothing for this just saying.. Although I should see if there is a referral because I thought about
getting another one off them lately.

DigitalOcean, but they don't accept BTC :)

Thanks I see allot of people recommending Digital Ocean, I am going to do some research and comprising between them and amazon.

Yup, Amazon's EC2 and DigitalOcean are the most reliable in the industry.

Namecheap is okay,

Digitalocean is great. I use it without any problems.

Perhaps ask them to move your server to another network? But I find that oddly suspicious that an attack on another server would affect yours.  I have dedicated servers with them and 20+ vps's and don't encounter any issues... I'm sure a few of them are on the same network as yours. I've searched far and wide for the best and, it's OVH.

he is currently renting a server from OVH i dont think so they accept bitcoins aswell so his main conserne is not bitcoin accepting vps

There is also badass.sx

Found them like 5 minutes ago.

i USe https://in.godaddy.com

so many discounts and offers even if you renew a hosting or domain

not accepting btc

Thanks for pointing this out It dose not matter how you need to pay for it Paypal, Credit Card or BTC I can pay.

It was one of there nodes that was attacked, I have had my server moved and have not had any problems with it in 2 months But I am thinking long term here and do not want to be looking for a host in the future when the site is really big

I think a mate was using CentOS with decent results, look it up.

DO accepts PayPal one-time deposits and credit card pay-as-you-go.

anyone ever try cloudsigma ?
there is free trial

I'm sure they have the capabilities to host more than your site would demand.

Hotspot Shield

If they did I would not be making this post here, Do not get me wrong they have some good services for some good prices.

I have a VPS through InMotion Hosting and I love them. I actually just migrated all of my sites over there from HostForWeb,
who I'd used for over a decade. InMotion servers are much faster than what I'm used to at HFW and the tech support is great.

Big thanks to everyone who posted. I have decided after doing extensive research and taking into account all the suggestions I was given here I am going to give digital ocean a try. I will be purchasing a server from them very soon and will make a post about how things are compared to them and my current host OVH.

Im glad that you found what you was looking for mate .
I was searching for a good hosting company also because I'am planning to make a Wordpress website that should get a lot of traffic but not sure if I should go with http://www.bluehost.com/ or not . you may wanna see that company too , they have around 2 million customers .
and if you are that experienced you may wanna advice me of something , Wordpress hosting says 100m visits/month and dedicated says 5 TB bandwidth , so not sure what to take here

I have did some research on bluehost and found allot of bad recent reviews, The have poor support, always trying to sell you something, downtime, oversold ect.
The 20 dollar a month plan with 3tb transfer at digital ocean  will be good for you until your site grows then you can update at a later time when you get more traffic and site grows.

Good luck with DigitalOcean. I used them for awhile for one of my sites and they aren't bad at all. Their admin panel setup
isn't what I am used to though and I am just OCD enough to where it really bothered me, so I switched.

Yea I am used to using cpanel, I myself am kinda like you ocd when it comes to things i like them a certain way.I guess I better look into the panel before I get started. Currently I use a OVH server that I installed Cpanel on.

How much traffic that 3tb can handle ? how much visitor per or per month or whatever . I'am new at this to be honest
for Bluehost , ye I heard that they have crappy Support and they barely answer customers or takes too long but the good thing on them that they have "money back" anytime , so if you don't like their product , you can get your money and walk away .

The 3 TB is not just for traffic, the bandwidth is also used for images, when members post comments ect. This all uses bandwidth. Due to the fact your just starting out 3TB should be plenty.
