    VPS recommendations

    Hi,

    I need a VPS provider recommendation.

    It needs to be fast, have at least 200GB of diskspace and 1000GB of bandwidth.

    It's for a social network that is expecting to have 3,500 users from the beginning.

    I don't need cPanel (I can use a free/cheap alternative) and it does need to be managed because i'm unsure of how install various things.


    The important thing is, that we have MySQL, a high traffic limit and of course PHP and safe_mode off

    Budget? Around $15 per month.

    If you can help i'd be appreciated.

    Hello

    Are you looking for any particular location ? and are you looking for openvz / xen / kvm ect ?

    The more information you can provide, the better the answers can get

    XEN or OpenVZ? Managed or Unmanaged? That'll all determine whether or not the hosts people recommend are within your criteria. Are you looking for a particular region (East Coast USA, West Coast USA, UK)? Once you start answering these questions people should be able to better assist.

    -Big Brain Host (my current host, good support & pricing for my budget).
    -KnownHost
    -WiredTree
    -MiniVPS (Martin & Simon are knowledgeable individuals).
    -JaguarPC
    -FutureHosting

    ....best of luck.

    200GB Disk, 1TB traffic, Managed with No Control Panel for $15

    Definitely not going to happen. You'll have to raise your budget and probably get a control panel if you want it managed

    maybe you could look for some managed webmin vps, but still your budget is low for that size of a VPS

    Xen & Managed and your criteria you should double your budget. $15 is very low for managed services. Keep in mind you get what you pay for.

    Perhaps, go un-managed if you want under $15/mo.

    Personally, you get what you pay for, but if you need managed services in the first place you'll probably want better support response times. At which point paying a slightly higher price for a better virtual machine will safe you grief and troubles in your next search .

    That's a great list.
    Removed BBH, which I've not used. (Though gut feeling = they're fine.)

    You simply won't find managed hosting for $15. You need to double-triple that ($30+ minimum).
