High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Pretty much man!So 1.5$/GB?
My experience so reveals that SnowStormServers' support is horrific. I have an urgent ticket currently online, after more than 1-2 hours of post, I got a reply that didn't even help. It has now again been approx. 1-2 hours, yet no reply.
YES, I understand the host is fairly cheap and of course it can't be perfect etc, however this certainly can be improved...

Just so you know Shockbyte is running on OVH. (Which is horrible)
We're fairly sorry for your experience with us we hope to make it better if we can!
We do use OVH as a service, very sparingly.
Whys that? Care to explain?
Not 90%, it'd be more about 99%. The 1% left uses 3rd party centers that hardly support 1Gbit DDoS attack without null routing you, there isn't anything wrong with OVH.
Yes and?
I usually respect what you have to say, Rama, but that simply isn't true. There are dozens of hosts operating on premium dedicated server providers (SecuredServers, Singlehop, Staminus, ReliableSite, LSN, etc) that can easily tank far more than 1Gbit, and there are more still that colocate their own hardware and choose to use DDoS Protection services on top of colocation. It's simply not true that 99 out of 100 hosts use OVH. Even some really budget providers own their own hardware (Minecrafted, MineRack, etc), or use budget dedicated server providers (Dacentec, Wholesale Internet, Versaweb, etc) other than OVH. On top of that, places like MineRack - who are backed by the ever-popular BuyVM folks - have 20Gbps of mitigation capacity in all of their locations.
Every provider has their own intended markets. While OVH works okay for Minecraft, I wish you luck running any other more latency-sensitive apps or game servers on their network. Their network simply isn't designed for low-latency transit, their support is next to nonexistent, and they do simply skimp out on some of their hardware configurations. Meanwhile, a place like ReliableSite or SecuredServers is going to be nowhere near as cheap, but they're going to offer you a latency-optimized, well-peered network and much better support. On top of that, many of them feature higher-end hardware (and newer hardware), which can be beneficial to server performance.
TL;DR - OVH is okay for Minecraft. They have their place in the industry. 99% is unrealistic for OVH vs Non-OVH hosts. Other providers can offer better performance and support at a higher cost. Other providers can usually withstand more than 1Gbps.
Well none of the providers you listed can or do provide a server for the price of $120 dollars with SSDS. Unlimited Bandwidth, and 256 IPS/$3 ech with free DDOS protection up word of 200GPS. And plus amazing hardware. Fine support sucks but if you're a person with half a brain google isn't hard to use.
Sure they can. Most providers are very willing to work with you on pricing if you spend the time to talk with their sales teams. It still won't be OVH pricing, but you can get some impressive discounts from just about any dedicated server host or colocation provider.
If we're going to be technical, OVH only guarantees 160Gbps of mitigation per serviceable region, and you're sharing that protection with literally hundreds of thousands of other servers. Most days, you'll only get about 20-30Gbps of actual protection before your server is nullrouted. Just about anything above that is luck.
OVH does not use amazing hardware. Their entire SoYouStart range uses desktop-grade motherboards and, more often than not, Non-ECC RAM. Direct from OVH, you're still getting corner-cutting, though admittedly the hardware they use on that level is much better. A company as cheap as they are simply has to cut corners somewhere. There's a reason that no other providers touch their pricing, because they don't want to cut corners or reduce the customer experience. Sure, they use HGST Ultrastar 7k4000 hard drives and Intel S3500 Enterprise SSDs. But both of those are older-gen, slower than modern drives (especially the Intel S3500), and often used an astronomical number of times in other clients' servers before being wiped and put in yours.
Before we start freaking out, however, keep in mind that this is only my personal feelings. OVH is fine for latency-insensitive games like Minecraft. I've used them for my own Minecraft servers before without major issues. I'm not calling you (or anyone else) bad for using OVH, I'm simply offering (completely factual) information about how OVH operates versus how more expensive providers operate, as well as offering support that other providers can offer things like DDoS Protection and even cheap prices if you know how to talk, to them.

I agree with yes ovh isn't picture perfect. But what data center is? I know a lot that perks - Colo Crossing AMAZING network, Secured Servers I personally have 2 servers colocated via 3rd party reseller for my own things amazing ddos protection, and super fast network. You're typing to much to prove a point you proved in the first post.
We colocate all our Kansas nodes Via joes datacenter. I met up with Joe the owner over my summer break and we sat down and setup a custom pricing that works well for us. I know that you can get a great setup speaking to the sales reps or even getting to know your datacenter.
I understand that you and I have two different points of views on hosting, and that's our opinion on this. I hold a high respect for R2F and HV. Personally never had a reason to use there service.
Sadly yes. I will have an updated image soon.
Man, was going to use, but I need that 50% off for life. Now I can't (don't want to) use
Were planning to run the promotion again in 3 months. So AprilMan, was going to use, but I need that 50% off for life. Now I can't (don't want to) use
I hope to see ya there.- Status
