Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/fbfafb78b9db.47e85ef5%40broadpark.no ``` Sorry, I really don't know where else to ask. I've been using Staminus for a while now and I've had it with the downtime. Basically I want a place to host my Ruby on Rails / Git projects, an IRC server as well as an internet radio channel. Simple website / control panel design is ofcourse a plus. None of that cpanel bullshit though, I prefer to meddle around with simple text files the way it's meant to be done. So, layeredtech.com? rackspace.com? And is there a place that reviews dedicated server providers?

It's just that when they fuck up, they fuck up big time :) Gilles -- Gilles Chehade ``` ## Kyrre Nygård, 2008-03-24 22:24 Subject: Re: Where to rent the best dedicated servers?

But so far it looks like I'll be going for http://www.m5hosting.com. "Small is the new big", might wanna Google that. Besides, they look so simple!

Great customer service and they communicate any problems or issues via the blog so you can have it in an RSS feed which is nice. They also have grid computing and containers for Ruby on Rails and MySQL instances so once you out grow your current setup you can have it spread across several machines.
