Need xen VPS - 1024mb+ 50gb+ High speed to asia
Hello,
I have spent the past couple weeks searching high and low (including these forums) for a solid VPS which can meet our requirements. But so far I have not found anything that quite fits the bill.
Ideally I need:
- Xen based
- 1024mb or more Memory
- 50gb or more storage (100+ would be preferable)
- Good connection to Asia
- Good disk performance
- C-Panel
- Softaculous
- SVM
- Root
- SSH
- CentOS
- OpenVPN
- Few restrictions (though we do not need IRC)
- Good company with a solid history
- Good free support - I don't plan to make extensive use of support, I am one of those people who see's asking for help as a last resort, but on the rare occasions I do ask for help I hope it will be fast and effective. We also want OpenVPN setup for us initially, as I have never set it up server side before.
- ~$40.00/month give or take a little
For some of these points we have some flexibility but the biggest problem I have found in finding a provider is the connection to asia.
I know there are plenty of US based sites and services which I can get 200k/second or better download speeds from. But in testing the large file DL speed tests which many hosts provide I have yet to find even one which goes above ~80k/second..
So is there no webhosts which can deliver better than ~80k/sec to Asia?

I assume at that price you don't want cpanel+softaculous included in the price (as that's about 50% of the budget alone)
May I suggest you cannot go wrong with knownhost or wiredtree if your looking for a solid history both offer managed as standard and have packages that are $40 p/month give or take a little and the wiredtree package actually comes with cPanel by the look of it.█ -> INCEPTION HOSTING LIMITED Since 2010!

I do want c-panel and softaculous and I would prefer not going over $50/month. I think that is not unreasonable. ~$35 for the VPS and plenty of hosts offer c-panel for ~$12-$15 and softaculous is only $1.50.
KnownHost does not allow VPNs which is one of the primary things we need the server for (a restriction which kind of blew me away for a VPS, especially after hearing so much about how great they are). I've looked into WiredTree before but they were a little above our budget for our memory requirements. I will take another look at them though.
If it were up to me I would just raise our budget for the VPS a little, but it is not up to me. If I can't find something soon, I'll be forced to scrap a bunch of great plans, and just settle for a minimal, low-end, budget VPS just to run a VPN on and not do anything else with.
@vpswing & @rgenzon thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into those too.

I'm just curious, can you send me the results of the Dallas, Texas SoftLayer speed to Asia. (http://www.softlayer.com/facilities/dallas-details/)
Your best bet is an LA provider. Check out BuyVM (http://BuyVM.net). They don't directly offer cPanel, but they might (should) have a great connection.SiFuQi.net - Affordable Dedicated Servers in Los Angeles, California

I use Lightwave Networking for one of my VPS. They've been very reliable for me and are indeed in your price range -- they also have a promotion going on right now:

Well better ping speed you would receive from either HongKong or Singapore data center however I am not sure if any of the provider is providing Xen Based VPS from those countries . Also are you looking for Self Managed VPS or Fully Managed VPS ?

Check out, Quickweb (Softlayer Seattle DC). I got good connection, low ping from my OpenVPN server. I did compare them with Texas DC, but Seattle gives me better ping here in the Phils.

I use provps.com (ndchost) and lightwave.net, both are good for me in Taiwan, also no problems when I travel to China/SZ.
