Shopping for a host
- SteveBromwich rcommends chunkhost - 60 $USD / year
- IanCampbell recommends
- OVH in France. OVH is their grown-up stuff (larger dedicated server rentals, vpses), soyoustart and kimsufi are discount tiers.
- re: ovh, I think if you pay a year at a time it drops to $3 or $4/mo, something like that.
- kimsufi - montreal
- Canadian Web Hosting : https://www.canadianwebhosting.com/vps VPS1 package $5 /mo Memory 512 MB. 1 Core, Storage: 20 GB, 1 ip address, 1 TB bandwidth/mo
- Radek says: I use mydevil.net, they take ~$4/month for a BSD-based hosting.
- RobertMcKay says: i have a vps at ovh in quebec you can evade tax by giving them an alberta address it's only $4.71/mo tho anyway heh i do think some of online.net's stuff is better value than ovh if you're looking for something more capable they don't have any canada dc though
