So I selfhost a number of servers in various locations and utilize a DigitalOcean VPS as a hub/gateway to transmit data between these nodes.
I have a consistent issue when running large backups or transfers in which DigitalOcean flags my server for a DDOS attack and sends traffic to a black hole for 3-4 hours.
Customer support has been the absolute worst and does fuck all to help remedy the situation in any way. These events have been consistent over the past 8 months.
Does anybody have recommendations for a solid VPS provider?
Price isn’t too much of a factor. I was running a $8/month server but I don’t mind something more expensive if the company has a good reputation for reliability and privacy.
As mentioned, I primarily use a VPS as a gateway/hub for file transfer services. I’m also hoping to spin up another VPS for static websites.
I don’t think you’ll find any guarantees about that since it will vary wildly depending on their bandwidth use at any given time, your ISP’s, and everything in between. I don’t think they cap it on purpose if that’s what you mean, but they do have an upper capacity limit, naturally. Generally speaking you should get some pretty decent speeds, like the other comment mentioned.

Looks promising. Do you know what their network speeds are? I can’t seem to find that in their FAQs.
you’ll get a shared connection afaik. Speeds ranged from 1-2gbit/s on my server
That’s pretty decent. I tried speed testing some other recommendations and I was seeing 35 MB/s.
