    Springs is drastically cheaper than running 4 OVH servers, and a little cheaper than running nano instances on AWS.

    Unlike other providers, Springs doesn’t use a pre-built container solution, instead opting for their own software built from the ground up.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Provide more options at lower costs
    • It would be nice to see that expanded out to more distributions. What would be potentially even better though is templates. Some hosts can deploy ready-to-run WordPress/Drupal sites, LAMP instances, ownCloud instances, etc. at the drop of a hat. If Springs could replicate this with their container hosting they’d immediately appeal to a much, much wider audience;

    Discontinued Products
    • In the beginning I wasn’t sure what I should set it to for my web server, so I left it. After a while the Average usage area begins showing how much resource the container is demanding and from that more adequate limits can be set.
