UnrealIRCd friendly hosting providers

There was an old post about hosting providers but many of the links provided in it are now dead links. So I thought I would post a thread here for getting assistance in finding a IRCd friendly host.

Yes, hosting it yourself is an option, but it's not always an option due to ISP restrictions. Thus finding a hosting provider that is friendly toward IRC is essential. And finding one that is affordable is also important too.

So who do you use as a provider to run an IRCd hub or leaf. If you aren't hosting it yourself.

i would suggest to look around on the internet and search some providers which are offering virtual machines for you.

https://lowendbox.com/
look for Virtualization/OS -> OpenVZ or KVM (i suggest KVM, but it cost a little bit more)

with this, you get a virtual machine, with root rights and you can do anything on them.
i'm pretty sure you can find some providers which are offering a single VM for like 15-20$ / YEAR!

I use https://evolution-host.com
Outages on average 2-3 times a year for a couple of hours, however they always reimburse your account with more credit than you lost.
I don't know if that's good or bad, I've only ever hosted with them.

Dependig on your budget/needs I'd personally recommend one of those: If i remember more I'll add them to the list, so keep an eye on this thread.

Cheers!
