I've been very keen with https://UpCloud.com at first their servers don't seem to be cheap. But when you factor in the actual performance, those do provide a good on bang ratio. So far I don't have any complaints about UpCloud. But it's not the same story with OVH. UpCloud didn't throttle the disk I/O, even it was truly insane, due to a software bug. That's what I recommend, if you're looking for good instead of just cheap. UpCloud doesn't oversell resources, so full CPU / RAM utilization is totally acceptable. Also VPS resources are guaranteed and performance is pretty much constant.

Scaleway is actually quite good when you factor in the performance / price ratio with it. (VC1S) But that's not something I would recommend for 'production use'. Yet, it's very nice for hobby projects.

All systems are under constant monitoring. CPU, RAM, Disk I/O & Networking. Unfortunately the data collected isn't something I can publish.

Btw. OVH SSD VPS 1 does provide IPv6, yet it's not being tested. Why? - Yes, you'll need to manually add the routing once to enable it.

Thanks for the information, it's very helpful.

Yes, I know about the OVH plan and IPv6, but in the hurry and in the middle of all the tasks to accomplish I left behind a few things. I'll keep improving it. Thanks!
