Hi,
Here is my wishlist and dream of a good VPS provider;
1. Cpanel
2. Fanstastico
3. 5 GB space
4. 50 GB bandwidth
5. Online Public Forum (No secret trouble tickets)
6. 1 IPs
7. Unlimited everything else
And all this within a mere US$40 per month. Let me see if anyone else thinks i forgot anything or not to include in this wishlist?

In this debate between PowerVPS and Servint, I have not seen any mention of desire for telephone support. I am on the fence in terms of which company to choose but I am now leaning towards Servint after discovering that they offer 24/7 telephone support. I have no doubt, based on the comments I have read, that PowerVPS provides great support using their ticket system, but I find it comforting to know that I can dial a number and speak to a technician. The fact that at powevps, I can never speak to a technician on the phone is not a good thing.
Does anybody agree/disagree?

That being said, we have a few customers that will call us because they are mobile, and we'll open a ticket for their problem, and resolve it via email and the helpdesk.
For the most part, our engineers answer and resolve tickets very fast, just ask our customers. You aren't getting a level 1 ticket taker that has to run and talk to a sysadmin or level 3 engineer, all of our helpdesk folks are level 3 experienced engineers, and can do anything required without delay and waiting to reach a sysadmin, higher level tech, etc.Last edited by TomK; 04-06-2005 at 02:50 AM.

That's good to know. Thanks for responding, I am now back in the middle with powevps having equal chance.

I myself would like to know which one (PowerVPS or ServInt) has a advantage over the other.
I contacted PowerVPS support and ServInt late night, both responded within 4 hours. Support Time for both is almost exactly the same. I noticed some spelling mistakes with one of the responses of PowerVPS.
Both offer RVskin & Fantastico except PowerVPS includes them for free and you have to pay $32 setup-fee with ServInt.
Someone who had experience with both providers, post who you think is better.

You can simply log into SSH and run "top" to see what is taking up the load.
Heavy load on your VPS is not really their fault, but I bet they will be glad to help you out.MediaLayer, LLC - www.medialayer.com Learn how we can make your website load faster, translating to better conversion rates for your business!

servint seems to have slow speed history if you checked wth for a while. However, my vpscolo is not fast too...
so, in the day that dedicated is only $60, going to vps is not that smart move at all. A celeron box dedi could beat vps easily

$60 dedi is either a crap box partially managed or unmanaged mid-range box.
$45-60 VPS is generally managed, decent specs (at least 256MB dedicated ram...), on a box with RAID disks (which the dedi doesn't have), triple-redundant PSUs in most, many have dual-redundant network cards, redundant fans, and burstable to a chunk of the overall box (burst is higher than the dedi specs, like 3Ghz & 1GB+ ram...).

I've been with ServInt for almost a year and came from a reseller account. I've been very happy at ServInt and haven't had any speed issues.
One of the main reasons I went with a VPS and especially one from ServInt is because:
1) I was tired of my host having their finger on the SUSPEND ACCOUNT button saying "sorry, you're using too many resources... bye." and suspending my reseller account. Even though the "isolation" on a VPS isn't perfect, it works for what I need it to do.
2) I knew I was outgrowing my reseller account, but wasn't anywhere close to needing or wanting a dedicated.
3) I want fully managed! My business is not as a server admin and I don't want it to be. It's all about specialization of resources, and that's where ServInt comes in.
For the price I'm getting a lot. Sure I could find a dedicated box in some kid's basement for $30 a month, but I'd have to be the server admin and spend all my time doing something I don't want to do.
