Looking for this VPS
I've done a fair amount of searching, perhaps I've overlooked something, but I'm having trouble finding this.
1. Ability to upload my own ISO (here's what narrows it...and I would prefer xen for this in case someone is actually attempting this in OVZ)
2. U.S. based. (please no kimsufi)
3. Not oversold, plenty of room for moderate CPU usage without risk of destroying the node
4. At least 1GB RAM
5. High disk I/O (not to abuse it, just someone running a backup shouldn't kill my I/O)
6. Prefer 1Gbps line, ok with 100Mbit.
7. Under $50/m
It's a toy for a few tests, I can find each of those specifications but what I'm really lacking is the first 2 ever being together.Last edited by mxroute; 05-03-2012 at 02:29 AM.

Thanks I'll give those a look.
Actually the first two requirements narrow down the search and make it a bit difficult to find. I'm sure it's there, but I've been searching off and on for 3 days. I'd rather not resort to Google on this except to search this site.Ain't here to spam my signature, I'm not desperate for sales.

Uploading your own ISO might indeed be a problem for some providers. You at least need XEN preferably KVM for that. May I ask why you want to upload your own ISO? A decent provider offers nearly all Operating Systems.

It's not so much a need as a desire. I am continually testing new providers and systems to find the perfect "home away from home" VPS. Basically where you might have a Linux box in the corner that you use as a toy, I have a few VPS systems. I suppose you could say I'm embracing the cloud for personal use.
Right now I'm toying with 64u's VDS. He mounted the OS I want (Ubuntu 12 desktop...don't hate, I like pretty things that eat memory) and it's running incredibly well.
On a less serious note I'm also taking note of how providers implement various "outside of the box" features. Market research is most fun by digging inAin't here to spam my signature, I'm not desperate for sales.

That would certainly be outside of the box if a VPS host offered ISO uploading. I would be interested to see it done.

I recommend you try IntoVPS if #1 isn't a must. They're really good.

Sweet. Thanks for those. I like IntoVPS pricing. It pleases me when prices are not too high or too low. Their test files aren't hitting fast but they say 1Gbps lines, the test files must be capped at 10Mbit by mistake or on purpose to keep the lines clear.
