• Should I switch server hosts?

I was wondering. Should I switch server hosts? I currently am using NFOServers and don't get me wrong, they are awesome but I want to have a more financial friendly host (Such as ElpisHost) and one that has a lag-free (or semi lag-free) when the server gets full. I've heard that ElpisHost is pretty damn good and I'm wondering if I should switch?
NFO is better than Elpis, in my opinion.
Although elpis are cheaper and have better gmod-specific support, I would personally avoid switching. Changing your ip can be a real problem for your current players. Also, elpishost probably won't let you set custom firewall rules or help you out as much as NFO would if your server gets attacked.
Elpis was a total piece of garbage when I used it last year, I'd say stick with NFO regardless of price. Elpis servers go down faster than Vilayer to ddos attacks as well, and everyone knows Vilayer servers are horrible in terms of withstanding ddos.

I use gameplayserver, there lag free, low cost, and here a 20%off discount code Invoid20. I pay around 23$ a mounth for a 24 slot tf2 and a 16 slot ttt and 10 other slots for what ever game I want. I got the Dedi slots bundle. Dedi slots are, a certain number of sltos that you purchased(I bought 50) and you how ever many you want on what ever games you like, but you also get unlimited usage so there's no limit on ram, CPU, data...etc... ww.gameplayservers.com discount code: Invoid20 This is the dedi slots.

"Were happy to refund" Were, as in used to refund but don't care now.
I would go with NFO personally due to what I've seen there servers do. When i had a TTT server with Elpis it crashed frequently, Alternatively you could buy a dedicated box.

NFO is probably your best bet, Elpis if you're on a budget, a Dedi if money isn't an issue.
I use NFO, and rent a 6 Core VPS with them in LA California. If you want you can rent a server from me? at like 1/2 the price NFO would charge you.

Though, I don't understand why everyone says "Get a dedi". Unless you plan on hosting multiple servers, a dedicated server is not going to give you any more performance than a VPS. SRCDS doesn't use more than 2 threads / cores anyways, so even if you get yourself a 24-core server running at 4.2 Ghz, the performance of a single server won't increase.
