[Guide] Full list of RELIABLE Minecraft hosts

I update it as much as I can when someone suggests a host(after i do research on it). It would be nice to get it sticked to REALLY cut down on the "I need hosting" threads. I don't know if I should ask about that or not but I have seen people linking others to this thread when they have hosting questions.
In my past hosting experience, beastnode is good/great. I didn't have many problems with them, because i never really needed the support help.
My only suggestion for the list is to move them(Beastnode) to the medium quality, because there 'ddos protection' that they advertise and claim they have is weak to none. If your server is hit with any type of decent/long ddos(booter) they will null your ip within a few hours into the attack. In my situation after massaging them they finally got back to me(10+ hours) saying they nulled my ip and for the time being they made it so that my server unjoinable/offline for 48-72 hours just to make sure that the attack is done. I don't really think ddos protection works like that...
I've been using Limestone hosting for a while and they're really HQ. Any tickets, etc are replied to within an hour
I used GGservers before right I ran like around a 9-12 player base server. Quite honestly their was a little lag, but not as bad as others. Yes the only thing that was shit is their response like HOLY shit its very bad. If you know what you are doing its really not that bad. I didn't have any lag problems with them at all quite honestly I wouldnt rate them HQ but maybe in the medium section. I just got an email from my old hosting saying they just revamped it and an one hour average response time.

I actually just finshed with Host Havoc. Things that make them APPEAR strong.

Some time Clay (Owner) would respond in a few mins ,but I dont belive he has to staff to watch tickets. One time I rember that my server got shut down for about 7-8 hours do to the fact that when my plan upgraded it changed my IP. Anyways Host Havoc is good for a starter server but not for a bigger player base of around 30+.

Now currently hosting on OHV. Its the best thing ever honestly. Its probably one of the best host you can get so far and atleast I know of. I run around a 21-30 player active server during the afternoon in EST and I get a good amount of players with no lag.

This is my minetrends chart of OVH TPS with around a 21-30 player active server. https://gyazo.com/89da7514646c4b364012313b931335ba

Overall if you have the money and the donations their go to OVH as they are a top pick to me. Shared Hosting remember is a shit ton of people on one dedi. Be aware RAM dosent always solve the problem. CPU has a big step in it. So Shared Hosting isn't always the best idea.

McPro I had a very terrible experince with. The only thing they do is basically screw you over. For some reason I have the feeling they put like 15 people on one dedi due to the fact that I got so much lag its not even funny.

This is my opninion on these I hope you guys make the best decision.

Yeah. Currently I am going to try SYS which is a cheaper version of OVH. Hopefully I can get a good review out.

I'm pretty sure HostHavoc resells OVH, And They aren't LQ at all, They have fast response and fast servers, I've never had a problem with them, But GGServers, my server wouldn't even start.

Dosent matter they resell OVH. It matters how many people on 1 machine. For some reason I think they put to many people on 1 machine. GGservers I had no lag on but it did have terrible service. Everyone has their ups and downs. GGservers actually "servers" are okay. HostHavocs are terrible. GGservers has just "Revamped" their website and service and i wondering how that is going. I run a meduim sized server. I experinced shit hosting. I know what I am talking about. It dosent matter if 1 resells OVH or not. It matters how 1 person uses the CPU. Higher RAM dosent always man less lag. Take into consideration the people using. If you are on the same dedi as another server with 30-40 players lets say. You will get lag. Some times its just about luck. Its a hit and miss with shared hosting.
So after reading a bit which site is the best for hosting a new faction server without getting any lag?
It is my first server so I don't want it to get ddosed and fucked over the same day I buy it.

QuadHosting has free DDoS Protection. GGServers also has free ddos protection. QuadHosting would have little to no lag and GGServers might have some TPS issues and some lag.
Thanks for the reply i'll try them out and hopefully they're great.

No problem man! Let me know if you want any help or need suggestions.
Is it just me or is Quadhosting's website down at the moment?

Its not just you, its down for me too.
I've been using quadhosting for about a week now and their support system is extremely slow its been 72 hours since I've made a ticket and still no response. Interesting thing is that I sent in a ticket before I became a customer and they answered it in about 7 hours. :/ kind of odd...
Hi guys. I want to buy Minecraft server for 6 players. Recommend me Minecraft hosting. Thanks.
