LugHost hosting -- Service shutting down (page 11)
YayFun:
I'm seeing the host you have chose has an average download speed of 1MB/s and upload speed of 217kB/s. I also talked to their support, which is really slow. I feel like I'm chatting with AT&T. According to support they give you a burstable 100mbps line, which does not guarantee that speed at all all the time.
I suggest looking into http://www.nfoservers.com/ (one of the best I have used) or https://www.digitalocean.com/ (also a good one if you want cloud). I've been with both of them and never have a problem. If you think you will get attacked a lot like ephis hosting then NFOServers might be your best bet, they won't perma null you. They will null you for 24 hours though if the attack is bigger than their nodes can handle, which I believe is about 20gbps. But in most cases the attacks stop at the node before it reaches your server.
Edit: I should add I get gigabit speeds on NFO and DO.

i guess it's good for some people. personally, i'll probably keep waiting for a more professional service. i hate using consoles to run things.

this is one of the reasons i doubt this. i went on their site and i couldn't find anything related to network speed (probably the main reason why people use blockland hosting services), are there speed specs available?

where are you getting that from

This isn't even a 'quick and dirty' service, because that would imply you are offering at least something unique. Right now it's just buying something and selling it for more without changing it at all. Such a revolutionary 'service'!

can you do it for $8 a month with enough resources for a blockland server..?

I didn't have any troubles with support, and installing packages on the server just now downloaded at ~27MBps. However, that isn't a perfectly accurate representation. I'll look into that thoroughly.
The biggest problem I ran into when choosing a service was how ridiculously expensive they were for way more resources than I needed. I don't need a 80GB SSD, I need lots of a ram, a great processor, and lots of bandwidth and speed - anything that wasn't a custom plan didn't offer that without a bunch of extra crap. Both of the services you mentioned are undoubtedly great services, but the price-point is very important to consider.

I'll look into those right now.

I'm concerned that's the burstable rate. I'll find a good speedtest with a nice large file to test long term speeds.

27Mbps is a bit below average residential connection (30Mbps if i recall).
why did you pick such a stuffty provider?
