Dedicated to VPS Question
Hi all. After many google searches, I tend to always end up here, so I decided to register & ask for opinions.
Currently I (along with 3 others) lease a dedicated server from codero. While I have been extremely pleased, a couple of the guys are getting out of the hosting business. This leaves me with the task of finding a new home.
After a lot of searching, I have come to the realization that there is no way I can continue to afford a dedicated server.
I will be running mostly opensource CMS & MySQL. The largest site uses about 25Gb traffic per month and 20Gb disk space.
Our current setup is:
CPU --> I-5 2.6 GHz
MEM --> 4 Gb
Disk --> 226 Gb
Paralles Plesk Panel.
I do most of my maintenance via the command line. The only thing I use Plesk for, is the creation/administration of domains, emails, etc..
Must haves:
1. Linux
2. Command Line access via ssh
3. Complete control of software & updates
4. Some front-end to create/maintain domains.
I have been looking at the "Cloud Shards" OpenVZ 1024MB package for about $13 USD/month.
Anything suggestions/pointer would be appreciated. While I am a decent linux admin & IT developer, I am a little uneasy about what hosting options to choose.
thx

you will get all of what asking for
except it does not appear they support any Control panels
4. Some front-end to create/maintain domains.
So if you want plesk
you will have to buy it from a distributor or directly from paralles and install it your self

Didn't both Kloxo and ISPConfig have some pretty egregious security holes? Been a while since I've heard anything about 'em, though.
webmin definitely gets my vote if you're not wanting cPanel or Plesk.Doug Hazard - "retired" Web Hosting Master

There is Kloxo MR, it's a fork. But I recommend webmin though.

Thanks, net. I knew I kept hearing of ISPConfig for a reason, but couldn't remember why. Glad that it was for GOOD reasons, though.

thx for the replies. CloudShards offers a DirectAdmin license for $6.50/month, but will probably go with Webmin. I will install it on my linux box at home to familiarize myself with it.
I'm looking at Cloudshards Budget VPS 1024, and their Standard VPS 1024. The only difference (besides price) is the SSD Cache. The Standard with SSD cache is almost double the price.
If I am running a combination of Joomla/phpBB3/Coppermine on several different sites, will the SSD Cache make "that" much difference? There is not a extreme amount of traffic to my sites and the Db is not that large.
thx again.

@gtk+ be sure to take a look at Virtualmin GPL, it's based on Webmin but is more similar to Plesk in regards to virtual hosting management.

thx.. I actually meant "VirualMin" above.. I already have webmin installed at home.
It's hard to tell. Currently I am on a dedicated server with another extremely busy website. I think once I separate my sites from that one, it will not be pushing the server too hard at all.
Currently I am using about 30 Gb disk space, and 12 Gb traffic a month.

Well, after googling for other questions, I end up at ramnode's website.
they seem to offer a better deal for VPS configurations, with SSD to boot.
Guess I need to just make a decision & get on with it
