So, I’ve been with FeralHosting for a quite a few years now, but lately I’ve been getting more frustrated with not having root access, and how their pricing is completely linear, so a 2TB package is twice as expensive as a 1TB one, so I’ve been looking into other services to expand my never ending list of subscription all of which makes me feel like a piggy bank with internal bleeding every time my phone beeps with another charge.
I like feralhosting, as it lets me also host some of my websites, install whatever program I want (as long as I don’t use sudo), and I have a few vps-es for other purposes, but I’ve been looking into some other options, which has more storage, at preferably a better price, sudo, etc etc. (tbc I’m not planning to leave feral, I just want another service to host more of my stuff and run more linux ISOs)
What I’ve been looking into is RapidSeedbox, Giga-Rapid and iHostArt.
iHostArt looks very sketchy, especially for the price, but it does look like a pretty good deal.
Similar with Giga-Rapid(altho a bit less sketchy), but I’ve found their description of the service very confusing. Are they giving you a VPS? Or a shared service? But then SSH is possible with root acces. But some packages can’t run media servers? I’m not sure I understand exactly what they are offering.
RapidSeedbox seems to be the least sketchy, but also the most expensive. And that also seems confusing, regarding exactly what you get. They mention SSH, but not exactly what priviliges do you get. Or what distro if it’s a simple linux vps.
I would like to hear your experiences with these services, or recommendations.
I think it’s also worth mentioning that I’m not super picky about performance, although over 1Gb networking is nice to have.
What I am picky about is bandwidth, as I usually have dozens of TBs of outgoing bandwidth every month, which is not a problem at Feral, with it being unlimited, but if you have any recommendations, that’s something I care about.
