VPS hosts

[GzeroD]

I'm looking for a good VPS host that allows VOIP servers and will allow me to setup a VPN pass-through Preferably on the Eastern half of North America.

I have tried out about 5 providers over the last 2 or so months and most of them either over commit their hardware or treat all data as bulk data which makes it impractical to use for VOIP (Teamspeak / Mumble) purposes.

minimum requirements 

2 vCore cpus

1GB+ ram & 512 swap

20GB storage

100mb up link (1GB preferred)

 

I understand that this is a Programming and Software design sub forum but I didn't see one that look like a better fit and I though that the individuals here would be more likley to deal with hosting providers than some of the other forums. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

 

 

You should edit your question to include the list of providers you've tried. Could be helpful to the people answering. Also could be helpful to anyone with a similar question who comes across this thread.

 

 

I have tried 

OVH : (the north american server in Canada at their east coast data center location) Hardware was too tightly provisioned on their server. data seemed fine but I couldn't really be sure.

 

Blue VM: (Buffalo NY Data center and Atlanta Georgia same issues at both) hardware is well provisioned and VPN setup was easy but the data is flakey. bulk file transfers are great but a lot of packet dropping in voip* will add more as I find the invoices.

 

VirtNetwork: I was not even able to start using the service due to a configuration error and by the time CS got it fixed the first month I paid for was over and they wouldn't even offer me credit for part of the downtime.

 

SSDVPS.com: setup my sever and then about 2 days later they shut it down for hosting a Team speak Server on it even though customer support said single VOIP servers are allowed on VPS plans. Tech support and accounting said they where only available on higher tired plans than the one I had. Customer support was fast to respond and offer me a full refund and continued use of the server for the rest of the month because of their error.

NFO servers are brilliant and cheap, been with them for about 4 years.

I'm a fan of digital ocean https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/

 

Fully SSD based cloud VPS. It's not purpose built for your application like some other VPS' so you might need to spend time installing what you want. But it takes about a minute to create a "droplet". A droplet is basically just your server. $5 a month for the cheapest but you said you needed 1GB of RAM, so that's $10 a month. If you use the following referral code you can get $10 of free credit that can either be 2 months with the basic or 1 month for the $10 plan

That doesn't bother me I'm having fun learning to work through all the server setup on the VPSs or KVMs. At this point configuring a bare Debian install is practicality effortless. and using webmin allows me to move configurations from host to host pretty smoothly.

I recommend digital ocean as well. I have a server with them that I am using for testing purposes. Really cheap, and affordable.

OVH and kimsufi have really cheap VPSs and dedis.I have used them for about 6 years now. I only use their dedis, but the VPSs are extremely cheap.

 

Try Digital Ocean as well. Their cloud range is pretty incredible.

I ran a 1024 user TeamSpeak (800-900 concurrent clients on Fridays and Saturdays) on a VPS from Linode.com. We used a Linode 4GB plan specifically for the 4TB of monthly transfer which we came pretty close to every month the rest of the resources allocated in that plan were overkill but nice to have regardless. I still run a 512 user TeamSpeak on Linode using a Linode 2GB plan and the server is multi-tasking doing a bunch of other stuff. 

 

The 1024 user TeamSpeak server is now hosted on a dedicated box with another company but that was due to extenuating circumstances outside of our control and had nothing to do with Linode and would have happened with any VPS provider... The short of it is we were DDoSed heavily for weeks on end. At first Linode helped us with null routes and monitoring but it got to the point the attacks were affecting their entire data center and every time the null routes were lifted the attack would start again within hours... We came to a mutual decision that we would move the server elsewhere as it was disrupting other customers.

 

We're not talking about a dinky DDoS either...

 

 

They did more to help us and were more patient with us than most other hosts likely would have been... We actually left before they explicitly told us to leave.

I also recommend Digital Ocean, I ran a eCommerce based website for roughly 6 months. No hick-ups, or issues what so ever.
