PrismNode vs Lilypad
What does Lilypad do that Prism doesn't? Lilypad has (mainly) 7950x at $2.75/GB, but Prism is 9900x at $2.25/GB (+ "Additional Servers"), and the only difference I've noticed is Lilypad has more locations.
I know I'm not a expert so I'm probably missing something deeper with how the host is ran, especially since Lilypad doesn't have a bad reputation from what I've seen, and it's better than every other shared NA host I've looked at

Lilypad is a much more established host
I don't know the specifics but higher costs can help with better support times and minimised downtime (this is not saying anything about lilypad and prism specifically)
That is correct actually. 2 things you should know about hosts.
- Low Prices = They are trying to attract more customers as their current client base is not enough
- High Prices = They have more than enough clients and losing a few wouldn’t matter to them as they are focusing on reinvesting more and keeping clients that actually want reliability over cheap prices.
-# now this goes for I’d say around half of the hosts in the gaming space, but ofc some other hosts have their own reason like simply being money hungry
Also if you are willing to pay that much i’d say go with @Kevin
He seems pretty great & almost everyone has nothing but good things to say about pufferfish 🐡

🙂 thx
be careful shopping around on price too much. The best hosts do not compete on price. Even my competitors who I would say have good products, none of them are competing on price.
