[support] Any dedicated server hosting to recommend ?

[Nicolas Tostin]

I'm thinking about trying acquia cloud dev but I'm quite confused about their prices, also I'm not sure if I can host website there that are in production and not just in development.
I'm sure that they created great tools regarding dev, staging and production sites but I think I would be too limited if I'm not able to store some other websites (I also have some Joomla and WP to host too).
But it's true I'd really like to delegate optimization and server configuration because I spend quite some time setting up everything (APC, memcache...)

  Great conversation. Thanks for all of the information.


  I'd be interested in your thoughts about Acquia's new DevCloud offering. It seems comparable to what is being discussed (at $150/month), allows multiple sites, and has what looks like great controls for developers, new and experienced.

      Linode was also one of my original choice, but the price is the same, I'm not very comfortable paying $160/mo for a 4GB VPS when OVH give me much more power for half the price.
      I may be too stubborn and focalized on this provider :D


    Yes. ;-)

        We've been using Linode - they've been great. They also have some great scripts that you can use to provision your hardware.

    Agreed. I can't recommend linode.com highly enough. 


    Their support is amazing, and I doubt you'll find a negative review from anyone in the OSS community.


    You don't get cpanel with fantastico, et al (but you can install them yourself) - and a 4Gb RAM / 128Gb HDD server, + 1.6Tb trf is only $160 p/m. You can add automated backup facilities to that for an extra fee, or just make snapshot backups in a separate partition.


    You can't compare dedicated servers to VPS, though you do get stock 4 processor Xen instances on linode.com, along with shared, mirrored, drives. I had a look at OVH, and they do look  really impressive - but at the price I have to seriously wonder how they manage those specs.
