I'll second Blaise's recommendation of Digital Ocean: I use them both for work and for a personal project, and they've been rock-steady for a year now. The recent addition of a Toronto data centre makes them significantly more attractive to Canadian businesses concerned about customer data leaving the country. Although, ironically, Canadian customers still have to pay for their Canadian VPSes in American dollars and deal with the vagaries of the exchange rate. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ giles...@gmail.com --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
