Recommend Me a Budget VPS
Hello,
I am currently using Burst.NET as my VPS provider, but their reliability isn't what I would like and I would like to move to a more reliable host.
I run several web sites, including a site for a client that has seen 1K hits per day (rarely).
My wishlist:
High reliability
Fast bandwidth
~1GB of RAM
~50GB of disk space
No Control Panel is needed.
I would like the provider to provide nameservers, but this isn't a requirement. (BurstNET doesn't)
My budget is around $20/month, although it's flexible and is expected to expand shortly so I would like the ability to upgrade my VPS without a reinstall or all that stuff.
Edit: The VPS needs to be in the US, preferably East CoastLast edited by malfist; 02-15-2012 at 02:54 PM.

$20 is a reasonable budget for what you're requesting. I'd recommend checking the offers section of the forum and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for!

There's plenty of great providers close to that price range.
For about $25, look at MrNerd or VMPort.|| Need a good host?

Examples: 3091507, 3111069, 3111255.
I've not always opened a ticket because I've not always been near a computer when the site goes down. I get a notice from Mon.itor.us whenever a site I own goes down, it checks every 30 minutes.
Typically what happens is the site goes down, I open a ticket, it gets fixed really quickly and then it goes back down. If I respond saying the server is offline again, I rarely get a response, or a fast one. Often the server is down for hours at a time.
I was trying to add an additional site to my server yesterday and the site kept going down that I eventually gave up. I'm talking about more than a brief, server is not responding for 60 seconds kind of thing, server is down for 30 minutes, then works for about 10 and then goes back down.
I'm not faulting burst net for what I pay, I pay very little and get far more resources than I expected, but I need to have reliable uptime.

That node is not down, nor is your VPS, nor is our Miami POP.
Looks like you have a firewall blocking stuff....which may be the root of your issues.
I cleaned up the node, and it is quite a bit faster right now, but it was performing reasonably fine prior to that anyways.

Ah, it might be my firewall. I'm using fail2ban to ban users who bruteforce SSH.
During my downtimes, it appears as if 117.34.88.152 got banned. Is this a burstNET server?
Otherwise, I don't see anything in my iptables that could be causing an issue:
PHP Code:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
fail2ban-ssh tcp -- anywhere anywhere multiport dports ssh
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtp
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:www
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:pop3
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:imap2
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssmtp
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:585
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:imaps
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:pop3s
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:domain
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:3128
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:webmin
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:953
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED
DROP all -- anywhere anywhere
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain fail2ban-ssh (1 references)
target prot opt source destination
RETURN all -- anywhere anywhere

I have opened ticket #: 3112553 in regards to the downtime I experienced earlier.
I updated it to include additional data about my iptables configuration and ip addresses fail2ban has blocked.

I doubt it's my firewall. My VPS is currently in the state where it's not accepting any connections for outside BurstNET. I've flushed the rules to iptables so even fail2ban can't interfere.
PHP Code:Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

It seems this topic has derailed a bit. My recommendation is to leave the "budget" world behind and go with Linode. Trust me you will not look back. They respond to tickets in a matter of minutes and are always knowledgable and friendly. Search these forums and you will pretty much find nothing other then praise!

malfist,
Which provider did you end up going with, I have the same recurring issues with one of Burstnet's Miami VPS. I run it as my private proxy server and it's painful how often I have network issues.
Thanks

I read good things about hostigation, so I'm trying them out this month. If I like them, I may stay. They had a really awesome deal that I couldn't pass up. If they disappoint me, I'll try Mr Nerd next, and then if I still have problems (I hope not!), I'll fork over the extra cash for linode. I was previously on linode, but for the price I paid, I didn't have enough resources so I left, however, I never had any downtime with them and if they were cheaper I would have stayed.
