I just wondering what people's current experiences are with cheap Linux web hosting. Right now I'm using vps.net <http://vps.net> and while they're cheap it's not uncommon to have a 10hr downtime (which I'm in the middle of this morning). They don't seem to have any sort of basic monitoring of their nodes to automatically be notified when a system is down (at least not on an individual node level), they rely on me contacting them.
Has anyone had experience with digitalocean or linode for fairly long term hosting? I've only used digitalocean for occasional VPN use but have had no issues.
I have used HostPapa for a number of years and I am quite happy with them. Never any down time that I noticed. And they added a PHP add-on that I requested. That impressed me on a shared host. -- Stephen
