Hey everyone,

I was looking for people's opinions on different hosts, why they use a particular host and not another.

Please could you post the following:

What host you use.
What services you use from the host.
Why you use that host.
Link to the host's page.
Advantages of the host / features / unique selling points.
Disadvantages that the host may have compared to others.
What you look for in a host.

Please feel free to add any more information that you would like about the host. An example of what you could add is experiences that you have had with their support team and members of their community, especially if they have a Discord server or similar.

I would also like to say that this is not limited just to Minecraft hosting and that it could also be bot hosting that you have with them, VPS hosting, dedicated server hosting, etc..

If you have any suggested changes or additions that you think that I should make to this post, please let me know.

This is also open to host owners to give me some information about their host if they would like to. Please make sure that you are giving your honest opinion.

Thanks,
Zak.

We don't oversell or anything similar and we try to offer budget prices while having lots of power to back it.

Questions anyone :>)

Hello,
I have written a Hosting Reviews thread which is solely dedicated to Shared Hosting only.
Personally, I would recommend Titan Nodes. They were really helpful in support along with their great prices. They do have a downside which I listed in my review. You can read about it in my thread here:
https://www.mc-market.org/threads/426466/

Another host I would recommend is the one I currently work for, Humble Servers. This may be a little biased, but I feel they really want to provide good servers at extremely budget price (with the discount codes they offer). The full review I made before I joined their staff team is in the thread as well. I hope you enjoy the read as I have poured a lot of effort into it.

I'm not affiliated with any host but I recommend pebblehost. I've used their web hosting, VPS, and MC hosting over a number of years and they're just rock solid. Their support team is god level too.

I would recommended TorchNode, which could possibly be the better successor to PebbleHost if they continue to grow at the rate they're going at right now.

They are offering an Intel Xeon E5-1650v3, DDR4 Ram, SSD Storage, and free daily backups at its budget plan of $1 per GB. To compare to the PebbleHost, this is being offered at $2.25 per GB on their premium plans and they charge for backups. The only exception is that PebbleHost is using an NVMe M.2 SSD which is faster than your standard SSD.

I can't vouch for their support because I so far haven't had any problems but they do seem to reply fast to other people. I also don't know up to how much DDoS protection they have. (EDIT: 140 Gbps for budget)

Hey Rollermachine,
I'm going to reply from a hosts perspective but I'll try to be as neutral as possible.

What host do you use?
deploys.io

What services do you use from the host?
I'm going to focus mainly on Minecraft hosting, but we also offer Discord Bot Hosting, VPS's, Dedicated Servers and Web Hosting.

Why you use that host.
Deploys is a project which was founded with the goal to provide something unique for an affordable price. We offer the AMD Ryzen 2700X with DDR4 memory and Samsung Solid State Drives running in RAID to ensure data is safe. Additional we own all of our hardware which makes us super flexible and independent. From experience, I've seen a lot of hosts fail at expanding because they were limited to a provider and especially with cheaper companies they might run into issues to gain any profits later.

Link to the host's page.

https://deploys.io/

Advantages of the host / features / unique selling points.
I'm going to list a few points.
  • Unbeaten CPU performance (The 2700X is around 17% faster than the 7700K in single threaded Minecraft relevant tasks)
  • Owned Hardware
  • We use Voxility for our DDoS protection allowing us to mitigate over 1710 GBit/s of traffic spread over 9 scrubbing centres. Beside the capacity, the filter quality also matters a lot where Voxility has shown to deal a lot better with TCP attacks, whereas OVH's VAC technology failed with small attacks.
  • Discord Support
  • Number one rated game host on Trustpilot (https://www.trustpilot.com/categories/game-server)
  • Free 3-hourly backups

Disadvantages that the host may have compared to others.
The biggest disadvantage might be the limitation of the available locations, however, we are working hard to improve peerings and routings to ensure our services will run snappy anywhere in the world.

What you look for in a host.
I personally would always take a look at pricing, hardware and reputation of the company as those are the main three points. I personally would not just go with a host because they are dirt cheap, but at the same time, I would not pay 10$/GB just because it's a huge company. You'll have to find the balance between those three points. Another thing which I personally would look for is owned hardware, but that's nothing everyone needs to keep an eye on, it's more like a bonus.

Extra information
Our Discord has over 700 members and I would say our community is pretty friendly and most small questions can be resolved within our community.

Thank you for reading,
~ FusionCoding // Tim
