dedicated servers in Canada

This https://www.ovh.com/ca/en/dedicated-servers/enterprise/2014-SP-128.xml#optio... Doesn't look like a bad deal, does anyone have any recommendations for hosting in Canada. One thing is their RAID 10 option is very expensive Dave Cramer

I have a http://www.kimsufi.com/ca/en/index.xml ks-4 kimisufi is discount (almost no support) feeder to ovh (i think), I didn't need it for production, so I can risk it, but I am pretty happy, you can't beat that price, i have proxmox on it, can have umpteen full VM's on it .... I am thinking of getting a storage account on OVH to backup too, but I don't know yet if inter DC transfer is free. OVH is supposed to have one of the best quality BW's. Also they are economical, I hear, because of the QC hydro rate deal. -tl On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 5:38 PM, Dave Cramer <davecramer@gmail.com> wrote:

I use and recommend iWeb (Montreal): https://iweb.com/ They have decent dedicated and OpenStack cloud servers. I manage a run "Smart Servers", which are essentially dedicated servers but with a virtualized layer that allows you to swap hardware pretty quickly. I haven't tried their OpenStack cloud. Though over the past year or so I've been switching services away from iWeb to VPS solutions... mostly outside Canada, with Linode, Digital Ocean, etc. But for dedicated servers, iWeb is top pick for me -- Canada or otherwise. They aren't perfect -- I've had a couple bad tech support experiences -- but they're pretty solid and I'm pretty happy with the Smart Server option as far as dedicated servers go. I do run a Cartika VPS: https://www.cartika.com/ Can't say I'm super happy with it... if I had to stay in Canada, I might stick with them, but VPS performance feels slow, VPS upgrade pricing sucks, and the web admin VPS interface experience was pretty limited and lousy (especially after I experienced Linode / Digital Ocean)... that said, it's been a few years since I've looked at that, and they seem to have done a big makeover in the last year or two, so maybe worth another look. And some of those criticisms don't really apply to dedicated servers... They have a Toronto data centre and offer dedicated servers. If I had to leave iWeb and go dedicated elsehwere in Canada, I'd take a look at their dedicated offerings: https://www.cartika.com/services/dedicated-servers/ One other company that I flagged for further review was Cirrus: http://www.cirrushosting.com/dedicatedservers/dedicated-server-canada.html I have no experience with this company though.
