Don't know who folks are using for throne set-up....
OVH is great, but the network seems to have plenty of exposure there.
Aruba (
www.arubacloud.com) has several data centers (Czech, Italy, France, Germany, etc) and also has cloud servers priced at 1 euro a month right now.
Tiktalik (tiktalik.com) is a polish cloud provider that has servers for 10 PLN.
Openvz.io has some reasonably priced VM/Containers available across a range of geographies. This takes you to iniz.com, which is SYN Ltd in the UK... but it's reasonably priced.
Ultimately, there are good arguments for Crown to have:
1. A guide or list of cloud service providers, where you can either set up your own thrones/trons or whom you can contract with to operate the throne/tron servers.
2. A preference for cloud service providers who operate within a single legal jurisdiction - the complicated thing about crypto-currencies and the platforms of services which they could support isn't so much the technology, as how different regulatory and legal systems will deal with the capabilities of these systems. Since different countries will react differently, it is probably easier to know that when you have a server in a country you are subject to the legal system of that country -- rather than dealing with the issues of a corporate parent in one country with one set of laws and regulators and a server somewhere else.
#2 isn't an issue yet -- but just worth thinking about as folks set up their throne servers and as the team thinks about the next steps for the platform... so applying the logic from point #2 to the list of VPS providers above, Tiktalik is the only one which has it's servers and legal organization in one jurisdiction - and this is the sort of profile of a VPS provider that is probably a better long-term host for throne/tron servers than the multi-national businesses with complex multi-jurisdictional regulatory and legal issues...
Would be curious what other VPS/Cloud providers folks might recommend with a similar profile?
thx.
