    1. Mr.VM - took the whole NAT idea and ran with it, did it better than i ever did and has so much choice it is insane!

    2. Vultr its just so damn simple and easy to use.

  • Out of all the listed providers, I only have services with Hetzner so hetzner gets my vote.

    @SmallWeb Michael gets my rookie of the year vote.

    In that essence, @AnthonySmith may I suggest 2 category in the essence of making it more fun?

    Best host of the year
    And
    Best Rookie/New Host of the year?

  • edited December 2019

    @Hetzner_OL
    Hands down one of the best (if not the best) in Germany. Enterprise-ish value for a dime.

    @UltraVPS Another reliable and great (german) hoster. mod edit: fail.

    Honourable mention @liteserver
    There are other good hoster as well which are not on the list. But my two picks are basically the peak, top notch (whatever) provider.

  • +1 BuyVM : top notch service with cheap price.

    +1 Leaseweb : premium network and stable.

    UpCloud free $25 through this aff link - Akamai, DigitalOcean and Vultr alternative, multiple location, IPv6.

    I use more than 50% of them, but mostly for idling. So my votes go for providers that I put something there, after several testing:
    1. The first vote is for BuyVM by @Francisco . They keep their quality services and add more and more value for their customer without increasing a single dollar. First used them in 2014 and recently put my Blesta instance there :-)
    2. My optional vote is @UltraVPS for their excellent BF offer and their reliable quality over the past 4 years (I first used their service in 2016) mod edit: fail.

    1. @UltraVPS, very good, very stable, very fast. Just very very.
    2. @PHP_Friends, great performance on a low pricepoint and a rock solid network.

    Honourable mention: @seriesn, haven't used Nexusbytes long enough to make it to my top 2 yet. But the last month was promising.

    1. NexusByte - @seriesn keep doing tempting offers and offering a great customer service

    Do not vote twice for hosts on the register, any failure to follow these incredibly simple rules will result in your vote/post being deleted.

    In other words... your second (optional) vote has to go to a provider that is NOT in the register. I.e. OVH, Vultr, DigitalOcean, etc etc

  • @AnthonySmith This had me confused for a while, please change the sentence from "1 optional vote for any other host." to "1 optional vote for any other host not in the register/list below."

    1. HostDoc, great support and cheap
    2. Vultr, high CPU-freq VPS
  • I should have just spent the time making a poll, I have edited the failed votes out.

    @Solaire going to have to code around this in the future :)

    I am sorry haven't read it too carefully. Maybe I can get away with the excuse that English isn't my native language Haha.

    Anyway
    My first vote still goes to Hetzner and second to @php-friends then. Cannot edit my previous post.

    1. Nexus Bytes
    2. Hostsolutions (not sure why they are not in the list yet)
