what are some good hosting providers? i have a leaseweb right now and they're pretty good, but i'm wondering if there's a better dedicated hosting provider out there

right now i have 32gb ram, 2x4core xeons and 4x1tb sata in raid10 for like $144/month

linode are great, i've been running two smallish VPS in tokyo and singapore for general fuckery since forever, never had a single issue.

but yeah i don't think they do elastic storage

linode is great but if you need a lot of storage the only option is to increase everything else about your vms

you can buy a few extra gb per month but it's not cost efficient at all. i've considered moving off linode to digitalocean for the elastic storage

Very well. The hosting panel is incredibly full-featured, there's an option to boot my VMs with a rescue mode image so I can pull down a disk image if needed without contacting support, and Longview is neat though I've never really used it. The $10 VM is fast and responsive and has plenty of RAM, though it's single threaded; I haven't noticed any performance issues with my webhosting applications.

While on that subject, what web servers do you all use? I'm enjoying Caddy because it's the hot new poo poo with HTTP/2, automatic HTTPS (I didn't have to touch anything other than accepting the pets encrypt EULA on first run) and comes with a directive for enabling directory listings per directory, which you can sort by column in the browser.
