Codero

Codero is the host we currently use as of Feb 2012. They're standard old-fashioned physical hardware servers, so upgrading requires requests to real people, time and setup costs, but they're very robust and responsive servers and bandwidth with good prices.

ElasticHosts

We haven't used ElasticHosts yet, but there flexibility looks extremely impressive and the pricing is competitive. It's fully cloud-based with the ability to dynamically adjust your own hardware specs for any amount of time you like. If you need to upgrade from four to a hundred CPU's for five minutes - no problem!

They're also extremely flexible with the OS's you can install - practically any Linux flavour is available, and you can even supply your own ISO to install from. You have full control over the whole installation procedure.

dotCloud

dotCloud looks really interesting and needs some more research!

Older hosts we no longer use

  • VPSLink - good for virtual servers, but we prefer either real servers or cloud solutions
  • eSecureData - good prices for real servers, but we found them too unreliable with many outages
