[svlug] VPS recommendations?

[Michael Eager]

I have a VPS hosted by https://interserver.net.  Minimial slice: 2GB 
RAM, 30Gb SSD.  AlmaLinux 8 (other options available), shell access, 
email support (I use POP3), DirectAdmin with Softaculous. Cheap $6/mo.

I've had this service for a couple years with no problems.  One of the 
reasons I can recommend them is that when I have had problems, they have 
been very responsive to trouble tickets asking how I should do something 
or other.

They took shell access away earlier this year (2024), and their help desk tells me they no longer offer a secure way for domain holders to copy files up to them, only insecure FTP. Ridiculous and disappointing.
