Managed VPS Hosting for small enterprise
Hi Members,
This is my first post to WHT. I am running a web firm having 150 domains. 20% are corporate clients using lot of emails, 20% websites are eCommerce having heavy usage of bandwidth & rest are just website users.
Currently I am using hostgator reseller plan 1 & having lot of issues. My clients are regularly facing database disconnection, uptime & bandwidth issue. Also many ISPs are not able to open my websites.
I've gone thru multiple post of WHT & thought of upgrading to managed VPS.
Pls suggest between knowhost / servint / futurehosting. I've used servint in past & was quite happy but it was reseller package thru somebody else. So I am not aware about their Support. I am based in India & dealing mostly with local clients.
Budget is around $30 -$50 / mo.
pls help.
Thanks..

Do not choose web host. Create a list of requirements (CPU, RAM, hard disk space, etc) and then try to compare plans that web hosters offer. You probably need cPanel. The license costs around $15/month, which means you have no more than $35 left for the VPS. OpenVZ is probably the cheapest option when it comes to virtualization technology.

Get a VPS with Cpanel, and move them all to your server. OpenVZ would be good for what you need.

Based on your budget, you can choose a low-end dedicated server or a high-end VPS with cPanel.

I am not that technical person which puts me in to trouble to configure right VPS for my need.
Also I am not much aware about OpenVZ. I am using Cpanel since long & quite comfortable with.

I'd suggest you don't go with openvz or container based VPS if you really care about your business unless you setup your own server or you know your host business model well which is not oversell. Contact host to see anything they can customize for you rather than look at the standard plan that may not suitable for your situation or business conditions.

Open vz wont work well because you cannot play much with iptables and cannot load own kernels if requried.

The table you posted is information for the server your reseller account is hosted on; it's not an accurate indication of what you want, what you need, or what you're using. But, a quick look says your reseller account is hosted on a server which most likely has 12 cores and 24 threads. The RAM on the server, overall, is 32GB. And the space used on the server is 2TB out of 2.8TB available (approximate values).
You said you're currently hosting 150 domains on a plan with 50GB space and 500GB bandwidth allocation. I'd say what you need here is a VPS with a decent amount of RAM, a good connection, and adequate disk space (and transfer allowance) to grow. You also seem to need managed service with a cPanel license. Based on your budget, I'd say (depending on what providers you prefer) you should be able to get at least a 2-4GB RAM VPS with a cPanel license included. Management might be a difficult deal to get in the budget, or if not, you'll get basic management at best. But with a cPanel install, you shouldn't need much management unless you have major issues with the VPS itself or need optimization. That being said, you should go through some providers/offerings on the VPS offers page and shortlist providers that fall in your budget, then look up reviews for those providers.
OpenVZ shouldn't be a problem for you as long as you make sure your host is responsible with their overselling or don't oversell at all.

Go for a webhosting company which has atleast 4gb ram and a dual core processor plus enough bandwidth in that budget...abd also I'd suggest is to keep config as top priority than even if u stretch a budget by 15%

Being a VPS provider you should know well how this business run. I had never mentioned about openvz is worse for business, in fact it run pretty well for us, too.
That's the reason why the statement is "unless you setup your own server or you know your host business model well. There are many heavily oversell host/reseller around WHT, simply because of that jeopardize the whole ship.

Login to ResellerClub.
Go to respective Domain.
Click on Child Name Servers
Type NS1.YourDomain.com and IP in respective BOX
Type NS2.YourDomain.com and IP in respective BOX
IP is the one provided by ServInt. If they have given you one IP then use the same for both.
Hope this helps.

For 150 domains and corporate clients you really need to think about performance. Choose wisely on hardware specs offered within your budget and pay attention to close proximity to your clients to give them better connectivity. For eCommerce sites with heavy database operations, you will most likely want to get a provider with high IOPS drives and good CPUs to handle such high concurrent operations on your server.

The DNS on your VPS is misconfigured - it's returning SERVFAIL for that domain. This is something your [managed] provider should fix for you.

I must say go with fully managed vps. Wiredtree and Liquidweb are good providers and have good reviews here as well. Their plans also fit your budget.
