laplace's demon

I’ve been using SliceHost, a virtual private server, for a year. It was great first, cheaper and efficient. But after RackSpace bought them, the quality decreased a lot, and I guess they changed many things and it effect my product. I didn’t have time to deal with them, all I need is a server there where I pay each month and focus on my projects, not the server’s problems.

The other problem with it that it become REALLY slow. The datahouse is in US and I locate in Istanbul. And Turkey’s internet providers suck.

So I decided to go for a Europian company. In fact, my 1st consideration was an american company, Linode, who has very good critics and considerable price range. But still, after slicehost experience, I didn’t want to go for a similar company.

Then I found Tilaa who has good options for VPS. They’re Netherlands based company and their datahouse locates in there. They aren’t a big company but I guess they have good approach.

So far I don’t have serious problems with them. The 1st thing that I noticed that they billed me 12.26 euros rather than 9.95, soon after I send an email about it, I find out that they charge you from a particular day of the month to another. I subscribed on 23th of January, They’ve charged me from 23th to 25th of January and 25th jan to 25th feb, which is fine for me. I only think that their explanations in their website is lacking, if they improve it they become better.

And hopefully the website you’re seeing now is fast enough because it’s already on Tilaa.
