Pulling my hair out! UK - VPS
I have been trying to find a half decent but not too expensive (circa £10/m) VPS and have had nothing but trouble.
I have 10 sites but this is growing, nothing too intensive.
Would like a UK based server.
Min 512/20GB
Your genuine recommendation would be appreciated.
I was with bHost.net who I liked but would constantly get "go slow" action when ssh-ing. FTP up was dire (tested from several locations)
Despite bad review have given UK2.net a try. Initially was very impressed, great "cloud" approach, was fast. Problem is that I have to keep rebooting the server as it freezes up, sigh, unhappy customers.
I need to get something up and running ASAP so anything you can suggest today would be greatly appreciated.
When I was with shared hosting I was with nethosted who were excellent in every respect, their VPS offering is too much however.
Cheers.

For your budget, I'd have a look at Xensmart. They have an offer on at the minute which would get you the specs you are looking for:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...light=xensmart
512MB Dedicated RAM
30GB RAID-10 Disk Space
450GB Premium Bandwidth
1 IP Address
PRICE: £11.20/Month with Coupon HVM30
I have two VPSs with them, and am very happy with the service and their support.

I will look into it. I have just looked on one of your sites and there is this post...
The VPS is being migrated to a different server to do an ongoing issue with the host node
Start: 22:00 2nd August 2011 BST
End: 00:00 3rd August 2011 BST
This isn't a problem you had with xensmart I assume?

Have a look at RAMHost.eu - really cheap and UK based.

Hi
They seem to be quite new.. lots of adverts and offers, for the cost its worth a stab.
I have used linode and tagadab for many years. but it depends on your budget. Personally i would never have openvz...
good luck

Hi,
My First Recommendation is Europhase.net
http://www.europhase.net/virtual-private-servers/
They are out of your price range, but i think you can find something in offers section.(coupon ,...etc)
My 2nd Choice is Vooservers. they 512MB is 16GBP/month , but you can find 50% discount coupon here :
http://www.vooservers.com/specials.php
currently i'm using europhase for more than a year and vooservers for more than 10 months. Both are very good providers (above 9/10 ). (you can find my reviews on Europhase, still didn't have time to write a full review on vooservers).

What are you hosting on the vps? Dont mean to sound critical but could it be possible the issues maybe you using things that are slowing the vps's down? If so then finding a 3rd provider would only transfer the issue.
Some great vps offers in the advertising section most with reviews linked inside there offer.█ DMB SOLUTIONS LTD

Definitely not me, very low demand at the moment, hardly testing the servers at all.
this says something

Tell you a trick in addition to reviews, find good offer, first look for positive reviews then stick the domain into hyperspin.com to test reponses and stuff good for seeing how connection performs.

Id say your price is a bit low for a VPS, for 20GB. You may be able to find a VPS that is unmanaged but i wouldn't say you'd find a good respectable host with managed VPS for that price. I think your getting poor hosting cause your paying such little for them specs.
My 2p worth.

OK, I have signed up with evorack as they have a money-back guarantee. I have been told there will be a short delay in the set-up so will report back when I know more.
