I’ve been looking to get myself a VPS. It’s my first time, too.
A friend of mine recommended Hetzner to me, so I signed up for them, twice, but was rejected due to “some concerns with the information”.
So I’m looking for alternatives now. I stumbled upon Ionos but I saw a ton of negative Reddit posts, which is giving me doubt.
Update 1: I found https://lemmy.ml/post/19647638 - some positive feedback about Ionos, but the more opinions the better
Update 2: I proceeded with purchasing one anyway, and the experience has been smooth so far, so that’s nice. But it’s only been a couple hours since purchase so we’ll wait and see.
Personally I’ve been very happy with time4vps dot eu. I’ve used it for a few years untill I finally started using my own hardware. Their support is (was) super quick and helpfull and just generally friendly. At the time they were quite cheap as well.
I’ve been using Ionos for things for like 10 years now. I’ve had a medium VPS running for a couple years and just spun up an XS last night. No issues!
