Not All VPS Providers Are Created Equal
I was taught if I didn’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything. Therefore, I won’t say anything bad about a company. Instead, all I will say is that not all VPS providers are created equal. Oddly enough, you also get exactly what you pay for. That sad truth never seems to go away…
I had the opportunity to try out a different VPS provider for a small app at work. No, it’s not the ones I use or mentioned here. I tried this one because it was just too damn cheap.
Here’s the deal, their OS image wasn’t functional and was broken all over the place. In fact, I compiled the apps and the libraries manually and POS still didn’t work. Was it me? Perhaps, but this was the first and only time where manual compilation and debugging didn’t work. There were no errors and everything went well. The files were where they were suppose to be, but nothing.
I eventually picked CentOS 4 image and got it to work, but it’s unstable after a reboot. I’ll just put up with this crap until my three months are up.
