Here's one for you - GET A DEDI

 

You're going to get a crappy dedicated box for $50-100/mo. A good VPS...absolutely, but certainly not a dedicated.

 

That's not 100% I can sell a true dedicated server under $100 a month, even at $75 a month I could sell a decent one on a good network, now were not talking high end servers, We are talking atom's which are WAY better then a vps because it has dedicated resources, you manage and run it, and more bandwidth and a dedicated port, and you can get servers for $50, Hell I've seen them for $29 a month, but your going to be expecting some Pentium 4 hardware or alike..

What it comes down to is you get what you pay for, don't be cheap when it comes to servers or you will regret it.

 

You seem to be in the hosting business - you should know very well that from 80 USD up a VPS is just a big fat failure if you know how to wield a server .

 

Like I said, you're going to get a crappy dedicated server. I don't consider an Atom server to be a decent dedicated server by any stretch of the imagination, especially for a resource-intensive site, and a Pentium 4 is almost silly for modern websites.

I am indeed in the hosting business, but I haven't the slightest idea what you just said. Are you saying that it's better to get a $80 dedicated server than a $80 VPS?

That can certainly be true. I would almost always recommend dedicated hardware, but compare what you'll get for $80. With an $80 VPS, you are most likely going to get a large share of a very powerful processor, you're going to get much more RAM than you ever would on a dedicated, and you're almost always going to get a very quick RAID10 array. On a $80 dedi, chances are you aren't even going to get a dual-drive RAID1 array.

Chances are, you're also going to get a managed VPS for the $80. An $80 managed dedicated server? Eh, not so likely.

 

You missed that par from my post .

For 80 USD you can get a Quad Core with 12GB ram and 1.5 TB Raid-1 with 5TB of BW . Top that with any 80 USD VPS .

 

Not from any decent datacenter you won't.

 

if i was you, i would buy a dedi since u have so much traffic and views of ur sites

 

Godaddy customer panel for hosting is shocking. I just activate their free hosting with my domain, but seems its really hard to managed where cpanel is good enough.
