Ask HN: alternative to slicehost/linode? (need FreeBSD)
5 points by markup on Oct 2, 2009 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
I need a FreeBSD VPS, can anyone recommend a reliable hosting company with prices (and virtualized hardware) similar to slicehost/linode? I found rootbsd.net but don't know anyone who can relate on them.



I'm using RootBSD and I haven't run into any major problems.


http://johncompanies.com/ does FreeBSD VPS hosting. I haven't used them myself, but they've been around for years and years and seem to have a good reputation. Their prices are a bit higher than Slicehost/linode, though.


You can run FreeBSD on Linode: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/BSD_Howto - However, last I checked, FreeBSD under Xen didn't support SMP (or 64 bit).


prgmr.com does VPS's also, and you should be able to install FreeBSD on their VPS


rackspace "cloud"?
