[LRUG] VPS performance and monitoring

[Klaus Hebsgaard]

Hi

I am the developer and siteOp for Be My Eyes.
Currently we host our site on Digital Ocean (DO) and we are pretty happy
with them, they even provided us with at lot of free hosting.
We have 2 load balancers, 3 web servers and 3 db hosts.

However we have had a few issues with the VPS'ese on DO.

- We had some problem with other VPS'ese stealing cpu time from our VPS.
- We had problems with DNS latency (we are talking seconds here)

Each time we found a problem they did not trap it in any kind of monitoring.

So my question is: Is this what we should expect from VPS? Or are there
better alternatives out there?

Med Venlig hilsen / Best regards

Klaus Hebsgaard
