    vpses suck. I tried them for years. it's hard to find a good provider
    and the ones i've seen bbs people use are a rip off.
    I prefer a dedicated server. i use ovh.
    So have I and like you, i don't like them for one reason or another.

    I'm rocking 2 Dell PowerEdge R610's running 17 VM's w/o a burp.
    (Of course, now I may have jinxd it by typing that...)

    My ISP is Glo Fiber. I'm getting 1.2Gb/s both ways.

    I live in Fayette County, Ohio and actually have had to shut everything down for 4 hours, because of the massive thunderstorms we've had the past 3 days with yesterday, being the most severe.

    At last count before the power down, they were both at ~1,215.77 days of uptime.

    Not too shabby... I like to have control of what I need, when I need it.
