I just found this when looking for Canadian alternatives. Anyone else hear about gander? I’m doing my best to support home grown and open alternatives but I have to choose what I am doing on the platform. It’s unlikely that my older family will ever leave Facebook, but honestly, what do I miss by not being present there? Birthday posts on my wall and the latest vacation picture…
Yeah that looks about right. I went with their smallest Intel VPS because they had a big 12 month discount on those, so my $/mo is actually less than a toonie right now lol (sadly I don’t think the discount is available anymore). Still it’s a good deal, and as far as “the cloud” goes, I can see myself sticking with these guys for my humble needs.
I use them as a drop-in replacement for a Digitalocean (no complaints, but it’s American, so), and while the UX is certainly a lot rougher with OVH I’ve been happy with them as far as cloud providers can go.
