    Hi,

    I am planning on to switch to a VPS at some point as I plan to increase traffic to my site. Am currently on Hostgator shared hosting and don't know whether their semi-dedicated plan is good, it's pricey though. Btw, can someone tell me the difference between VPS and semi-dedicated?

    Anyway, can someone recommend me 1-2 providers who offer VPS and are generous on CPU and memory usage?

    Cheers
    Michael

    Yes, I second that too. Their hardware and network are solid.

    Ops, I forgot that. Hopefully they open it soon, because I plan on upgrading from shared hosting to VPS.

    I was somewhat happy with Powervps, in the end however my VPS was constantly down or slow. This month alone they cost me at least 2-3 days worth of downtime! They never took responsiblity for it either, no appology, no refund, simply awful.
    Servint on the other hand has been rock stable. I run the same software on servint as I ran on powervps. The compiling/run time on servint is literally 10x faster than powervps. Ping times are so much better with servint.

    Not even a question in my mind go with servint. My vps there is even quicker in some ways than my fully dedicated server! :eek:

    Servint seems to be very popular! I have read a number of threads here and it seems this is hot. I'll have to check them out.
