Updates:
- Added a linkback to HostBalls
- Removed few listings as they no longer provided the VMs in the respective locations
- Added more hosts/listing

I feel there is still scope for a LowEndExotics.com
or talk.exoticvm.com XD
It’d be great to have pricing listed on the site. Even a rough guide relative to the others, like “$” through “$$$$$” like what Yelp does.
Thanks @Daniel for the suggestions. I did gave a thought about this few months back and I was being a bit lazy to go through the hosts manually Guess its time to implement it then.
I’ll have to come up with a pricing factor, what do you think would be fair enough? (also, rarely any exotic location VPS are below $7/mo)
1 - 5: $
6 - 12: $$
13 - 25: $$$
26 - 55: $$$$
55 - 100: $$$$
+100: $$$$+
Sounds good enuf?
That seems reasonable to me… Although I wonder if any providers on your site start at $100/month.
This might be overkill, but you could make it dynamic based on prices in the database? The lowest price gets a rank of “$”, the highest gets a rank of “$$$$$” or “$$$$+” or something, and all others are scaled based on that.
A lot of the providers probably use WHMCS, so maybe just writing a script to scrape WHMCS prices would get you quite far
I have had bad experience in web scraping back in 2011 lol
But this is a very intelligent idea. I’ll try to implement it. Thanks
