What are the pros and cons of Kaphost and RTB Hosting?

I stated nothing but facts, sorry that that's upsetting.
Dr_Zegobob:
I have never ran my own server with RTB hosting, but I bought a Kaphost server around a year ago, and Kalphiter was so great with service and answering questions that I bought another six months when my first month expired. I would buy Kaphost again if he was accepting payments and I actually had something I was willing to host.
On the other hand, RTB was decent, as I have experience managing Zay's server and transferring files over there. RTB has many features in an easy interface, but Kalphiter is making a new panel going to offer many (if not all) of the same features.
I am sorry if I sound biased, but I am only stating my personal opinion on my own experience with the two services.

It's not upsetting and Rub can state his opinion, I'm just saying you know Kalphiter will come in here and cause a huge, unnecessary fight. I would say the same to him as well.

Well there's not much he can do about it. This topic is about comparing the two, you really do have to talk about both if you want people to think you're a credible source.
Anyways, now for my opinion. From my experience with RTB and Kaphost (being at servers that use one or the other), Kaphost has less lag. Probably 4 of every 5 servers I have joined that are using RTB (that I knew of) had lag spikes every once in a while, and sometimes 30 seconds of non-stop lag spikes. I have only had bad experiences with RTB hosting compared to Kaphost.
I am unfamiliar with the panels that everyone is talking about because I have not used either of the hosting services, but from what I here, RTB has a better one.
So if you want my opinion on which to get, I would probably have to say get RTB if you want to buy one of the services right now and host right now, or wait and get Kaphost once it's back up if you don't need the hosting service right now.

I have never used RTB Hosting, so i can't realyl compare the two. However I can tell you why I chose Kaphost.
I really just needed a simple server in a better location. That's what I was shopping for. So when I saw this:

I knew I'd have to go with Kaphost. I'm a tekkie. So when I saw that RTB was designed for the more.... simple users I decided I really didn't want to struggle with that. After checking to see if Kalphiter could be trusted with my money(he seemed very professional with his clients on the forums) I decided to go for Kaphost.
A month or two after I started using Kaphost, if I remember right, the service stopped accepting new members, and all existing members kept their servers for free, until he finishes the new panel.
So, my advice to you would be to use RTB Hosting for now, but to just try out Kaphost when it comes out.
