I've had very poor experiences with a lot of VPS providers in the past. I'm helping a friend of mine upgrade from his shared account that he currently has to a VPS, and he wants to go with a company in which I've had previous bad experience with.
Here's the catch - his website is a warez-indexing vBulletin forum. No, they don't host the files, they just link to external services such as megaupload and rapidshare and other website that host the files. Keep in mind that this is perfectly legal in the USA, which is where we need the VPS to be located.
I want to get him set up on a Linux (CentOS 4.x most likely) VPS running Lighttpd. All I need is a VPS with a good base, and I can set up lighttpd, mysql, etc. The VPS needs 250GB Bandwidth and 5-10GB Space. Lighttpd pre-installed is always a plus.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!
