My brother got a VPS on [https://contabo.com](https://contabo.com) hosting provider, but I was not aware of them, and when my brother told me the price and specs I was 😲 I went and checked their website, and they seem to have awesome prices for super specs: ![Screenshot from 2022-04-16 20-26-46](https://forum.devtalk.com/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6e2c98d2d971c37bb8236bc512729e6942b281ca.png) This leaves me with some suspicion how the heck they can offer such prices, when compared with DigitalOcean, Linode, etc. ![Screenshot from 2022-04-16 20-38-32](https://forum.devtalk.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8595235a3b7faa71edc9d0f5593d189deff96879.png) Will this hosting provider be any good in terms o reliability to have production workloads on it 🤔 Anyone knows about it? ---

First it took over two days for them to provision my VPS, and then they throttled back the SSD speeds on purpose and refused to answer any one of my multiple support tickets over a week. A waste of time, money and energy. I’ve requested a full refund and will tell everyone I know to stay away from this company. > The most pathetic support ever. They shut our VPS server down with notice and our site was down for 2 days. We had talked to an agent and were promised that they would not do it again but they did it again within a few hours just to extort money from us. This is the most unprofessional company I’ve ever worked with. Do Not Use Them if you’re looking for a reliable company. They are the worst. ---

Thanks for the link. I am not looking at the moment for a hosting provider, but I will keep it in mind. Side note: that website is just not designed for a good user experience. ---

This is an old thread but there were quite a few recommendations in it too: > **[Deploying Elixir - opinions on Heroku, Digitalocean, Bluemix etc](https://elixirforum.com/t/deploying-elixir-opinions-on-heroku-digitalocean-bluemix-etc/289)** > > We are starting to wind down our local hosted cloud servers to go to something like heroic or similar.
