Hi guys,<\/p>\n
I was wondering if anyone has any input on a VPS platform in 2018 to be used for Linux based Nginx/PHP/SQL/Redis/NodeJS, ideally with the option to scale, and possibly load-balance when needed.<\/p>\n
We’ve been looking at the below, making scaling and load balancing a priority.<\/p>\n
TSO managed VPS<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Amazon EC2 on AWS<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Vultr<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Digital Ocean<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We’ll also be running build+test automation such as things like Travis, possibly GitLab.<\/p>\n
It would be great to get any thoughts from the community.<\/p>\n

We use Vultr, we feel that it is the best of those options. They have been great and we only use them more and more as time goes on. Best performance AND lowest price.<\/p>\n
Vultr does not provide their own load balancers, you have to provide your own in a VM, but that’s standard and people do all of the time. Having the vendor provide load balancers is a nice feature, but the amount extra that you pay for that with Vultr’s competitors makes it generally pointless.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2018-01-12T13:43:10.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/linux-vps-hosting/628297/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"scottalanmiller","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/scottalanmiller"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

And yes, we run the same kind of workload. We have a lot of NodeJS apps.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2018-01-12T13:43:52.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/linux-vps-hosting/628297/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"scottalanmiller","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/scottalanmiller"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Depends if you have a geolocation preference or not, how much you want to spend and the spec.<\/p>\n
I’ve used Arubacloud for some time now, basic Linux VPS less than €1 a month<\/p>\n
Before that I used Joes Cloud but that closed<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2018-01-12T13:44:15.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/linux-vps-hosting/628297/4","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rod-IT","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Rod-IT"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Linode is also very good. I’d shortlist Vultr and Linode above all of teh others listed (or not listed.)<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2018-01-12T13:48:35.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/linux-vps-hosting/628297/5","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"scottalanmiller","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/scottalanmiller"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
I enjoy LiteServer. Good support, excellent performance. Been there for years on GNU/Linux with PHP/SQL web applications on their KVM SSD series VPS.<\/p>\n
