    Recommend reliable VPS for under $35/m

    Hi guys,

    I'm currently in search of a VPS provider that charges less than $35 per month and provides a reliable service with fast support and servers based in the US. I read that Dinix were good but that they've gone downhill since the WHP takeover. Who else is there in that price range? I read about VPSColo and JVDS but apparantly they've got bad too.

    Thanks in advance!

    You won't find a *good* VPS in that price range, the resources allocated will be so small that you're actually in reality better off on shared hosting.

    if you up your budget by $10 you can go for a decent VPS from PowerVPS.com.

    Hi guys,

    Thanks, I'll do some research on a2b2.com and I'll take a look at PowerVPS and ServInt and perhaps up my budget a bit.

    Thanks

    I dont really agree with that statement. Just do some homework here on wht for vps solutions. There are many vetran companies providing a quality product in your price range.

    I also have a UML VPS with a2b2 and am very happy with the service.

    I'm not putting much load on the server yet so will see how it pans out.

    I recently moved from a reseller A/C to a VPS with a2b2.com - it has only been a couple of weeks.

    No issues, no problems - quick support. It is heaps faster than my previous reseller account.

    I should have mentioned that, but for $35 with control panel, I'm sticking to my statement...

    Do the maths, cPanel costs you $10/ve at least, Virtuozzo licensing comes to about $3/ve. That's $22 left for your hardware costs, host machine is probably around $400/mo for something with 4GB RAM, divide that into 16*256mb ve's, that's $25/ve hardware costs ... you see where I'm going?

    It's pretty hard to do without overselling (which I'm strongly against), but thats just my point of view...

    Tektonic do a VPS for $35 with a choice of cPanel, Plesk or Direct Admin but they don't seem to have any available at the moment.

    They use Xen and not Virtuozzo so costs are lower. They also offer less RAM than Dan used in his example.

    I am on the $25 plan with extra $5 for cpanel/whm/fantastico (i believe its $7.50 now)...

    $25.00/mo US or £14.00/mo UK based

    You can add DirectAdmin/C-Panel or Plesk for $7.50/mo or £3.75/mo on any package
    With C-Panel we also include RVSkins and Fantastico at no extra charge
    In summary. Fast support, great servers. Couldnt reccomend them more. Probably some of the most affordable VPS on the market too (that has good support and a good reputation - maybe not a huge reputation yet but they will have as they become more established).

    Also the thing I like about a2b2 is I got instant answers over live chat (msn i believe) which was just very easy for me.

    Hope this helps.

    It higly depends on what you plan to do with your VPS. It is very possible to get good VPS servers in that pricerange.

    It should be noted that Tektnoic only uses Xen for their $7.99 really cheapo VPS option.

    Their regular VPS plans use Virtuozzo. Back when I signed up for mine last year you could customize it really easily. I signed up for the Power plan and skipped the Plesk/Cpanel option to save money and added an additional 64MB a few months later.Been great for me, too bad they are sold out

    I changed from tektonic to their unixshell brand back when it started and I acctually prefer Xen. I got the 64 plan w/o a panel and was on a comparabel virtuozzo plan before and the xen VM is faster and more responsive than the previous one.
