Where to buy? US or Europe?And how big?
Hi guys, this is my first post...first post first question .
I need to buy my first VPS, in order to run my customers websites.
Right now i have 4 Wordpress based sites with low monthly traffic (combined: 2000 visitors/mo...they are portfolios), and i'm making 2 more web stores, each one running zen cart (i'm thinking at something like 2000 visitors/mo each, during the first 2 months).
What kind of resources do you think i will need?
Another problem...my customers are all italian...i was thinking about Future Hosts (UK datacenter), but I feel like i'd trust much more Known Hosts...the problem is that they only have US based servers.
Will the increase in ping times affect the visitors web experience?
Do you have more suggestions besides the 2 providers above?
What i absolutely need is a managed service (so i can make good dreams ).
Budget is around 100€/130$ per month.

Okay because your visitors from Italy, probably an Europe service would be better for you.
Your budget is high for a VPS, you even can get a good dedicated server. but because you don't have much visitors, I believe you can get for much cheaper.
what kind of OS you want to have?Cloudzy

Because most of your visitors are from Italy, I would recommend:
For VPS: Prometeus.net
For Dedi: Seflow.net

I've been with FutureHosting for 4 years.....the service is excellent!
If you want EU based then they're a perfect fit!

For the budget you have I will suggest you getting a "regular/decent" VPS (20-30 EUR) per month and see how the things will go. If there is a need later you will be able to upgrade it anytime you want and you will save some money too.

Well guys, thanks for your replies.
@net: I don't need a dedicated server (for now) because i'd waste my budget by leaving it without any kind of load to justify the expense.
@Hannan: Linux so i know how to manage it (even if i want a managed service as an "emergency's backbone"), i don't care about the distro.
Do you think 1 GB RAM will be enough for now?

1Gb will be good for start for 4 wordpress sites.
Of course it depends on the WP sites, how many plugins and how much traffic they get, but generally you should be allright.
Regarding choosing a VPS - your budget is on the high-end systems. As someone said, you can start slowly with a cheaper VPS (yes, the 1 GHz should do nicely).
Consider a provider in Germany or Italy. The closer to your customers you are, the better for them it is.

Umh I would exclude Italy because i've had a very bad experience with one important host, and generally network services are expensive compared to the rest of Europe (bandwidth is like gold in Italy ).
Germany...any suggestions for companies which use datacenters in the land of beer (i don't know any provider from there)?

In your case I'd also recommend a European host.

I'd reconsider Prometeus/Iperweb who's actually running their network out of the local campus exchange. They've managed to keep bandwidth costs sane.
They also have a new iwStack cloud thing which will let you manage your VM sizes better. Each VM comes with 1TB bandwidth so I don't think your wordpress sites are going to stress it at all.

Another vote for Prometeus. This Italian host is incredibly good. Blazing fast nodes without one single downtime in a year but friendly fast support.

This is my bad. As much as my Prometeus servers tend to be hands-off, I missed the part where the OP requested
What i absolutely need is a managed service (so i can make good dreams ).

Yep I'll keep Prometheus in mind but in this case i need a managed service, because I am too busy to give it a potential 100% of my time.
