In Spain we have a said: I want something BBB.
BBB = Bueno Bonito Barato = Good Beautiful Cheap = Best Quality Price / Value for money.
That’s what I am trying to find for our next big project! We are bootstrapping and we need to get the best for our money with quite a lot of capacity.
I’ve been the whole afternoon curating a list of dedicated servers and virtual private servers VPS, that matches what we need.
I used few providers that I used in the last 10 years + many others I got to know using the service serverbear.com to compare performance.
Requirements
