Question

Recommendations for hosting blogs & light apps


Hey all,

I have been building a business around blogs and other social media items on mostly OSS technology - but unfortunately, my current reseller account is inadequate for what I need (especially with sites that query a DB) and unable unfortunately to upgrade to what I might need. I don't want to rip on them because they've provided me great service, but they're just not able to ramp up. My thought is there won't be any reseller to meet my needs after learning more info, so I'm going to make the leap up.

I'm not going to go pound the pavement for hosting business; this is only really for my clients I serve as a agency/consultant/designer and my clients need and deserve more.

I have been considering Mosso; but also weighing a dedicated box as it's around the same price and looking around here for the solutions people recommend for the past few hours. But since I sort of have a specialty application, I thought I'd ask for your recommendations.

I want to say that I came here from another forum because my provider was affected by the Planet outage and the conversation and knowledge was great; you are a very smart community. I hadn't heard of this place beforehand but am glad I found it.

Thanks!

From what I feel a Managed VPS would be perfect for you. Did you consider using a VPS?

I am totally open to the idea; however it seems like going dedicated will give me more resources for around the same price, as I understand it.

What's the big advantage of the VPS over dedicated at the same price level?

VPS will generally be running on higher quality hardware, where something goes wrong the host will generally want to get it back up and running quickly because there will be quite a few customers getting upset with them.

A dedicated box say at $60 isnt going to be anything to write home about, it will prbably have cheap reused disks, an old CPU, perhaps you could call it tired hardware.
