    FutureHosting or ...?

    Hi,

    I am looking to get VPS.

    Would you recommend FutureHosting?

    I was looking at their plan:
    Cpanel - Titanium which is around 85 dollars a month.

    They current promotion is double BW and RAM, so it will come with the 2GB dedicated ram and 1.5TB of bandwidth.

    Is it worth it?
    Does FutureHosting oversell?

    I am ready to spend around 100 bucks a month for vps, i need it for vbulletin forum and couple more sites (nothing big) ..

    Please help me decide )

    Thanks!

    If you don't need those kind of resources, you might want to start with a smaller plan and upgrade when you need it. You'll save a lot of money that way, and easy upgrades is one of the advantages of using a VPS in the first place.

    I do need it, i have a pretty big vbulletin forum.

    I am just wondering if i am really going to get the resources i am going to pay for ...

    Sometimes, companies advertise more then they can really provide to the customer ...

    I don't have any expirience with FutureHosting, and thats why i am asking

    Thanks,

    I wrote a fairly indepth review of my signup and 1st month with FH here. It's specific to their London datacentre, altho I'm sure the experience would be mirrored at their other locations. I have the server one below the one you are talking about, I was umming and arring about the extra specs offered on Titanium but thought best to save some $ and upgrade if necessary later.

    Future hosting is good - we use them for our West Coast (Seattle) node as we had a requirement from a large customer to be on the coast.

    We have not had any problems with them to-date, they have been good and have delivered as promised.

    But for a large forum and $85.00/mth, does it not make sense to go dedicated, there is lot's of deals out there that can get you into a good dedicated server with 2GB of RAM and lot's of bandwidth with a decent provider.

    Just my thoughts...

    If you do need extra performance then you can check their Hybrid VPS package, though I'm not sure if it has any specials running to bring down the cost to 100 per month. Maybe you can email them and ask.

    There is lots of reviews about Sarora Hosting ...

    To me their plans looks very good, but i am not really sure if i will get what they advertise, because their plans are like WOW.

    I am looking @ : http://www.sarorahosting.com/vps.html plan VH6.

    It comes with 3-4GB dedicated ram, burstable to 8 + with their Cupon it adds like 20-30% more ram on top of that + 50 procent more banwidth etc + 20% off the price, which to the end comes to $63.99 USD Monthly.

    Is it possible to have GOOD\STABLE VPS for 65 bucks and 4GB ram, etc?

    I mean ... their plans are 5-10 times better then what other companies out there sell, so ... i dont want to get something .. for 5-10 days i need VPS to be on it ... a 'long time' (i mean until my sites grow enough to get dedicated).

    Thanks,
    D

    Hi,

    Could someone from Europe trace: SteadCom.com for me and post it here?

    Most of my users are from Europe, and i think i am getting a good deal with SteadCom, so i would like to see how is the network\latency from Europe.

    Thanks,
    D

    Hi,

    Thank you.

    It does not look very good, 200 ms is *i think* way too much.

    Comparing with 110-115 ms from Europe to current server hosted in Softlayer, this looks pretty bad?

    Maybe i should look for something closer to Europe, or really go with FutureHosting and their node in London\Washington

    Thanks,
    D

    Daky, please keep in mind that someone else's trace and ping results to a hosting provider will be very different than any results you would see.

    Best bet would be to get ping/traceroute results via the visitors that come to your site... your visitors are ultimately the ones that would benefit from this... not some random stranger on a hosting site.

    Hey,

    Yes i do understand that, but, most of the ppl are from Europe.

    Austria, Germany, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia etc.

    Can't be much different then that traceroute which is posted here

    For sure i am going to do more tests.

    Thanks

    With customers from EU, a VPS with Voxel will be a good solution. I tested their network before through a reseller, and it's very good.

    We are in the west coast, if latency is important to you then it is recommended to get something closer to Europe such as New York.

    If your customers are in Europe, why not host in Europe? You'll likely save some money too, as the US$ is quite high right now.

    I had a managed titanium vps with futurehosting in their dallas datacenter. They're fabulous. For a couple problems that somehow existed, they bent over backwards to fix it.

    So my opinion: from the hardware perspective, absolutely no complaints. They were awesome. From the business standpoint, they want your business and work hard to keep you happy.

    If you can handle unmanaged, for an alternative you can consider fsckvps.

    Yes, I recommend Future Hosting.

    I just spent 2 years leasing a VPS from them and just got my first dedicated server.

    Service has always been outstanding and server performance has always been great.

    Their tech support is great -- very kind and efficient.
