Looking for a VPS
Network March 18th, 2007This blog post is proudly sponsored by: Internet Search Engine FAQ
Well, I don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing when you get an e-mail saying that you have used up almost all of your disk space. Probably a good thing because it means that you’re growing. That is, of course, you’re making money from your websites. If you’re not making money, then that is a very bad thing and could cause immediate doom to your web empire. So, what does that mean? It means that you either need to sell of a couple of sites or invest in better hosting. So, that means that I can upgrade on my hosting plan and pay a couple of dollars more for more disk space and hosting or I can make a big jump and go right to a VPS. I think I want a VPS.
Now, I am a complete newbie when it comes to anything about web hosting. I tried to make a company once, but I was just a moron about it and it flopped. I know that a VPS is like shared hosting, but it offers you a lot more control over your websites. At least, that’s what I was taught. Maybe I am wrong. What I do know is that I would like to make the jump. Now, my budget is not that great, but it is something. Because of all the links that I have sold on this blog and the consistency of people coming back for more, I know that I will be fully capable of affording a VPS. However, I don’t want to go over the top and start spending loads of cash yet because I don’t have it. Because of that, I am looking for a VPS that I can maybe get for under $50.00 a month. If, of course, that is impossible, I am up for suggestions. I know that people don’t comment all the time, but I could really use some advice here on where to get a VPS. I appreciate it.
It takes a lot out of me to write these blog posts. Buy me a beer to cool me off!

I have a Fedora Core $20/month VPS with Network Redux.. they’re great. Wiki, Forums, and top-notch support.

I’m assuming you mean “virtual private server” by “VPS”. You can also search for the term “reseller account” — I have one such account with hostdime.com, but I honestly can’t recommend them wholeheartedly. Still, if you’re not doing anything to dramatic scripting wise (I do, on occasion), they can probably handle what you need for $20 a month. I’d also check out 1and1.com — I have a friend who uses them and has never complained. Then again, he’s not a script monkey, either.
At any rate, you should be able to get by quite productively on far less than $50. Hope this helps.

VPS are a great way to go. I started with shared hosting and eventually graduated to a VPS. It does give you much more control over what you can do with your server. I use Windows\IIS for my sites because most of them are written in ASP.NET though some are wordpress sites.
I needed custom written ISAPI modules for one of my sites and shared hosting does not allow such a thing. VPS gives me complete control of the server by giving me admin access (root in linux).
I used a company called SolarVPS (www.SolarVPS.com) for my server. Never heard of them but tok a chance and it paid off. Now I just recently upgraded again to a dedicated server from Solar.
Things have ben very smooth with them and they are very quick with support usually. I definitely recommend thatn you check it out… and they are definitely under your price range.

Wow, $50 a month, you could just about buy a regular pc, and use it as a server in your home.
I think that you should be able to find something for $20 a month, and maybe a little less. Anyone charging more for that service won’t be around for very long.
