Ask HN: FreeBSD hosting?

7 points by lsllc ↗ HN
Since Digital Ocean doesn't support FreeBSD, who is the Digital Ocean of FreeBSD? You know, all of the D.O. greatness, $5/month, SSD etc.

If you don't have an answer, that's ok, but please do lend your support for FreeBSD on D.O.'s "I suggest you" User Voice forum for FreeBSD:

Good guy, does lots of great things for the community. Was one of the very first people to publish a warrant canary (way before the whole NSA thing).

Not a reseller, owns their hardware and operates their own BGP network (with route optimized bandwidth/peering none the less), provides out of band management (VNC) and direct access to MRTG graphs etc.

Although they specialize in FreeBSD/OpenBSD and market heavily toward that crowd, they also offer the ability to install your own OS/Kernel if desired.

I wouldn't say they're the DigitalOcean if you're looking price wise, but having tried quite a few KVM VPS providers with FreeBSD, they've definitely been the best so far.
