    I am going to need a VPS within a week for these three websites my friend and I are running. They are TV show/movie linking websites and shared hosting just won't do now! The websites are...

    http://tvhoodlums.com
    http://streamedmovies.info

    Traffic for both websites for May...
    Unique Visitors: 1082+379
    Total Visitors: 1206+629
    Total Hits: 8566+22078
    Total Bandwidth: 43.69 MB+131.46 MB

    I'm thinking I only need 10GB of discspace and 200GB Bandwidth...

    I also need cPanel, please give me a good description of what you can offer and any tips. Thanks. Also, what is the difference between shared hosting and a VPS other than full control?

    You might want to reconsider.

    "I'm thinking I only need 10GB of discspace and 200GB Bandwidth..." It is good for shared hosting

    Yeah but many shared companies will shut me down if I exceed 200GB of bandwidth, and a lot of the offshore shared companies have a lot of downtime.

    I do not think shared hosting companies will shut you down when you exceed. We have many people using terabytes.

    Is there anything special about offshore hosting that will get more downtime?

    I've tried many different offshore hosts and like once every three days there is anywhere from 10 minutes to 3 hours + of downtime. I can't have that.

    Hello, your 3 site are easily suitable to shared offshore hosting.
    We offer 99.9% uptime guarantee per our SLA on all our shared hosting so there no problem with uptime.

    However we offer VPS offshore, if you prefer to go in that way every VPS come with CPanel/WHM installed for free and our free basic management (you can find more details into our website)

    Best Regards,
    Vincent M

    My current host offers the same uptime although they are obviously not true to their word. I have seen them down 4 times already since I purchased it about a week ago. Can you gaurentee this won't happen with you guys? If so then I will probably switch hosts and get a VPS in a couple months when needed. I think my buddy and I are starting 10+ websites in the next month which is why we needed it. To be honest I was questioning him ot getting a VPS too, but he knows more about what is needed :p. Thanks a lot guys for the support and not selling me something I didn't need yet!
