Hello I am currently renting a server from OVH, I notice that 2-3 times a month we will experience downtime due to the fact the network our server is on ends up getting attacked. I am wondering if anyone can fill me in on the sites or services the exchanges use to stay online and have a secure server. I can tell you I pay now about $60 US a month for the server and we pay for Cloudflare Pro as well. I am seeing allot of big sites going with Amazon any tips would be appreciated
I'd recommend you have a look at
http://lowendbox.com as they've got many good VPS Services options.
As to specific services I'd highlight
https://libertyvps.net and
http://www.qhoster.com/vps.html which are good services with the advantage that they accept cryptocurrencies as payment method.
Thanks I have tried qhoster before and did not have any problems with it but would not use it on anything with large amount of funds on it. Anyone here ever use amazon or have known someone who has and had a good experience.
