General Hosting Tips

[JmZ]

I added a few lines about DCs but there are many good ones so don't take the list too seriously (it isn't meant to mean 'ONLY use these').

Softlayer is by far the best provider I have ever used but also very expensive.

Nice post JmZ. I can vouch for PRQ but I would say their service is excellent, rather than just reasonably good.

Added a bit about clouds now, since most 'cloud' hosts aren't on a cloud at all.

I find it rather annoying that they advertise as being on one but aren't. It shouldn't be used as a buzzword like that.

Intergenia is a large provider, but also a bit on the crappy side; more specifically, their server4you brand. Plusserver and Serverloft, their other two brands, are a bit on the better side but still not comparable to some of the larger quality providers.

They have cheap hardware; cheap as shit. But their overall support and network is on the lower quality side. Just a tip for someone who might be considering them.
