Ladies and gentlemen: the moment has come! The votes have been counted, the results have been checked, and the winners have sent in the offers. The results for the Top Provider Poll 2013-Q4 are finally here! First of all, let me all thank you very much for voting! The quarterly provider poll is a fun event in which we can all show some appreciation to the hosts we like the most. It’s been an on-going tradition and it always brings me great joy that so many of you vote. So, thank you again! This poll was different than the last ones. Previously, you got to pick a number 1, number 2, and number 3 provider. These providers were awarded points accordingly: each number 1 vote earned the provider 3 points, each number 2 vote earned the provider 2 points, and each number 3 vote earned the provider 1 point. Unfair, thought I. You should be able to divide those points yourself! Because of that, each member got 5 votes to distribute amongst providers as they wished. Basically like dot-voting without the stickies and the whiteboard. Some gave a provider 5 points, others distributed them amongst providers. All in all, a nice, flexible, and honest system. I’m going to continue with this in the future! So, on to the results. By popular demand, I have listed the top 10 right here! Most of the hosts have sent in a special offers to share their love with the LowEndCommunity. Enjoy these offers while you can, because some are limited either by quantity…
Salvatore, from Prometeus, sent in an e-mail regarding the launch of his new brand: XenPower! XenPower offers high-resource servers for a very reasonable price! XenPower was started because Salvatore once purchased the domain (xenpower.com) and still hadn’t done anything with it. What better to do with it than offer some great Xen servers! These servers are hosted on a host node with dual Intel E5-2620v2 CPUs, 128GB of RAM and 12x 3TB SATA hard drives in RAID10! This happens to be Prometeus’ first deployment of servers with SATA disks (all others are SAS, SSD, or SAN) and I have to say, the speed is very good! We all know Prometeus: most reviews are very positive, support is fast, and the customer always comes first! Please share your own experiences with XenPower in the comments!
