I previously wrote a post about mikrovps.eu, concluding that it’s a very good host. Unfortunately, everything changes over time, and this was true here as well. I don’t know the background, I can only guess. I assume the owner took advantage of OpenVZ’s characteristics, and oversold the number of VPS instances on a node to the point where it became unstable, and my TF2 server on it was constantly lagging. I reported this to the operator, and they supposedly moved me to another node, but the problem persisted there too, so I decided to try the szerverplex.hu KVM package. Everything worked right away, setting up the system was simple, you can install pretty much anything on it, and I get unlimited data transfer (supposedly) on 100 mbit. I also set up the TF2 server today, and so far the feedback is that it’s perfect, no lag at all.

I’m sorry about my mikrovps server, but it is what it is, gotta move on :/
