Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : Need good manage vps

[THeBigFIsh]

Hello,
I am looking for a vps with at least 200-250 gb of bandwidth per month, and at least 10gb of disk space. I would also like to find someone that will move my site for me. Its just one site, but their are a lot of databases to move. I am willing to spend up to $50 per month,
any sugestions?

Hi,

Although I am not an expert (I just use VPSs for more than a year) if you actually want to get to use anywhere near that kind of traffic you will probably need at least a 512MB guaranteed (if not more). For 50$ I don't think you will find a good managed VPS (PowerVPS is a good one in my experience). Such "machines" usually come at about 90$. In other words it makes no sense to buy a VPS with 250GB that can only hold like 100GB under normal load.

Also you should specify if you need cPanel/DA/etc.

Regards,
Andy

I would prefer cpanel, and we use on average 7gb of traffic per day

Hi again,

Maybe other folks will disagree but I think that at 210GB of monthly traffic you have to either:

- raise the price
OR
- drop the "good manage".

What kind of traffic do you have? Forum, download...?

Regards,
Andy

Its mostly download, I run www.switchpod.com, I provide podcast hosting.

I was looking at some of godaddy's prices, they seem pretty good, any thoughts?

[Jhorra]

How about this?

http://www.vaserv.com/index.php?tid=17

It meets your requirements, and I've been hosting with them for a year and a half with very few problems.

Hi Jhorra,

I think it would be quite relevant if you could tell:

- how much RAM do you have?
- how much average monthly traffic do you have?
- if the traffic si DB powered or download or static HTML mainly;
- how many aprox. concurent conexions do you have on your site.

It could give the thread's starter a better idea.

Regards,
Andy

I think if you are looking for a service to host your podcast you are best going with two different service providers. One to host your main site. Such as iPowerweb or some other host that offers a few gig of storage and a low bandwidth. And then a second service such as libsyn.com that offers limited storage but unlimited bandwidth. So for $13 a month you could get 3 gig of storage and unlimited bandwidth.

Much better than anything godaddy has to offer.

Remember with podcasting - you do not need to have your MP3's on the same server as your RSS feed and your main site.

VAServ is junk, stay away from them.. That's the old name of A2B2, just search the forums and see what he did to his customers, many lost all their data, most were down for weeks.

I used to have one of the new A2B2 VPS's, and I wasn't satisfied. I will be posting a review on A2B2 this week, I just have to get some time to do it in. I don't like seeing unworthy vendors getting massaged all the time, when they deserve a spankin' someone needs to give it to them.

Just because you had a bad experience with them doesn't mean that others did.

If someone has a VPS and a2b2 and likes their service, there is nothing wrong with it.

[JCallas]

Yeah but it doesn't mean that I can't post about my bad experiences with A2B2. I just remember that copying a single ISO file took 10-20 minutes, my iPod copies files faster than their VPS servers

Exactly that's what I said, thanks for reposting!

A2B2 has been a bad boy, trying to make too much money on terrible machines that are way too slow. That's why I said he deserves his spanking. It's not right to put hardworking customers on P4 machines with less than 2GB RAM when other providers are giving Xeon for the same or less money.

If he upgraded his machines, I'd happily join again.

I have been with them for 6 months now and I can say that they are what a webmaster really wishes for..I was with affordablehost before they were bought out..I develop sites and wish to concentrate on developing sites rather than dealing with server issues and downtime and etc etc.! VaServ really is the solution where one can easily sleep at night without having to be worried that the host will experience any issues!

I thank Rus for all the true and kind support and all the hard work he does!
