Hostigation - Proxmox OpenVZ VPS from $3.50/month in Charlotte, NC, USA

This is another post where we pick providers outside our ticketing system. As Maarten gave me another spot to choose a host I wish to feature, I am selecting one that is special to me personally. In my perspective, I don’t buy services from a company – but from the owner/people behind the service. That is why we sometimes leave a specific provider when it is bought by another. We get the feeling that it is not the same when there is change of ownership.

Having said that, in my opinion, one of the most knowledgeable and trustworthy person in LEB/LET is Tim Flavin of Hostigation. Community reviews of his service are very positive. I have been a customer, and I only have good things to say about him and his company.

I am sharing below one of Hostigation‘s current promotion listed at LowEndTalk. This is a promotion for their Proxmox platform and the coupon code 30OFF4LIFE gives 30% discount and 10% account credit for any bitcoin payment.

  1. IF ProxMox and openVZ i guess they use Proxmox 3.4 (or below).

    Is there a plan to upgrade to Proxmox v4? and LXC (and drop openVZ)?

    Hostigation has been the most reliable host that I’ve used so far (out of a dozen or so), highly recommend Tim.

    Used them for at least 2 years at NC location. First year was great, the last 1-1.5 were pretty horrible. Not as horrible as BuyVM, but no one can top how shit BuyVM is. Definitely not recommended. YMMY though, but I doubt it. I moved on Leaseweb, Ramnode, Vultr for reliability/stability.
