Looking for a heavy VPS or a cheap dedicated.

RyanL · Post #1 (**permalink**) 10-15-2006, 07:18 PM

I own an im********** website (Click2host) and I want to switch to a dedicated server or a heavy VPS, and im looking for around these specs:

512-1GIG ram
1000+GB Transfer Monthly
80+ Gig hard drive
Cpanel/WHm/rVskin
Decent processor
Decent internet connection..
100% Managed (So They fix my problems, when I get them)

Im not looking foward to spend 200$ a month for the planet, but I was checking out Layerd Tech, I just want to start cheaper and smaller, but something just as reliable...

Any suggestions?

You can start out at a VPS provider like PowerVPS, ServInt or HostForWeb.

Alright, I'll check into the three, have you used or tried any of the three companies your recommended?

And why did it block out 'image hosting' ?

I have not purchased a VPS from any of the providers I've listed, but from what I've been reading on forums, they seem like a good bunch. If I were you, I'd look into PowerVPS or ServInt.

Someone most likely spammed a site with "age-hosting" (no dash) in the domain name. Most spammed domains are censored. You can see that "image hosting" isn't censored. Try adding a space in your original post.

I checked into the three.. Right now, for a VPS I wouldn't want to spend more than 80$ a month, and on 'PowerVPS' I only got 30 GB Space, which isn't enough, Same as 'HostForWeb' It would have made me upgrade to like a 100+$ Plan to get the disk space I needed, and ServINT, Their $90 Plan only gave me 20GB Storage..

I've got several VPS's from a company called FutureHosting.biz and they have been really running smoothly -- even with cpanel/whm/fant/rvskin. I actually was searching in WHT myself a few months ago, and that's how I came across them. I've also heard of KnownHost, they seem to lack guaranteed RAM in their packages, but apparently their sales staff mentioned most users can get up to the Bustable RAM. Hopefully one of those two will suit your needs, apart from the ones webfreak08 already mentioned

Good luck!

I was looking for the same thing, as you can tell by my other post that I am still widening my knowledge but might I suggest looking at the server I use. lunarpages has a VPS for only $40 a month and dedicated starting at $100. I have not used one of them yet but I do have a basic account and it is always online and the customer support is wonderful.

I would assume that Galaxy-hosts was advertising since that is where the mods note was and galaxy-host is not a moderator. Is there a good Dedicated out there that has cPanel, I am already familiar with it and my host charges extra for it.

Link, what are you needing a dedicated server for? Just curious..

And most dedicated servers charge 10-30$ Extra monthly on cpanel/fantastico/rvskin/whm etc.. But some do provide it as 'free' and just charge the server price an extra 30$, so you think you're getting it free..

I do not really need a dedicated yet because the website I just took over has been down for about 6 months now. Back when the website was running, it was always going over its bandwidth limit, and the server I have now has enough band width to run that site alone but I run 2 other sites on the same account. So, in order to do what I want to do with the website I will need to get either a VPS or a dedicated server, which, from being on these forums, looks like I will just get a VPS to start and see how that goes.

Oh.. I was thinking of maybe splitting a large VPS or a small dedicated server together.. but It would look like you would need a lot of the space and bandwidth...

Try offshore servers, they are cheap but not reliable ive seen alot of providers from china singapore and korea selling p4 2.8s really cheap almost half the price of layeredtech.

Also layeredtech does not have a good support team ive tried them then shifted over at softlatyer quads they have amazing support.
