Hello Members, I am looking for a cheap yet reliable VPS service providing company.My requirements will be as low as Plesk Panel,10 GB of disk space, 200 GB bandwidth, 1 GB RAM and a fast processor and managed support as well. My premium choice is Hostgator.com but the cost is almost $40 per month. Too costly for me. That is why I am looking for the second best company after Hostgator. I have found MyHosting which also has some decent feedback. I do not have much knowledge of all these. So I am looking for valuable suggestions from you experts. Please let me know where should I host my site/s when I have requirements like stated above. Thanks and regards, Wordpecker
Are you sure you need a VPS? What kinds of sites do you have? The disk space and bandwidth that you want are really small. Shared hosting is good enough for those.
I have heard once site starts getting more than ~3k UVs and ~6K page views per day it becomes difficult to host these sites in shared hosting.I am focusing on wordpress optimization to reduce resource usage in my current Hostgator shared hosting plan. So I thought a VPS would be a better option. I have some wordpress blogs up and running. Nothing fancy at all. Do you have idea how long, I mean how many hits shared hosting plan allows. I know it is difficult to predict but any assumption. Thanks
Are you currently getting 3000 uniques a day? Did your host ask you to upgrade? Your server load depends more on the type of script that you are using and less of the number of visitors/hits that you are getting. A badly-coded script can crash a server even if it is getting 100 uniques a day. If you don't have any fancy add-ons installed, then I don't think you need to worry about your Wordpress blogs.
Yes, one of my sites getting 2500 UVs per day. I have not heard anything from host till date. The CPU usage and memory usage are always less than the mark. Normal CPU usage is 0.1% and from the resource usage graph I can see rarely the site touches any high usage mark. Please check the following screenshot for better understanding-
I would prefer to opt for best service providers in hosting industry, i've been using VPS Hosting services of superb internet since past 5 years.
It doesn't sound like you need a VPS really. Just doing the script optmizations may do what you need. Can I ask why you prefer plex? The 10gb you quoted needing may be a little weak. With the OS and updates along with the control panel it will only leave you a few GB at best. How big is your site's DBs?
Shopaserver.com is the host you are looking for, superb prices and features.. support is super friendly...
Actually the reason behind choosing Plesk is less price. cpanel is best I know but costs extra $10 for licensing. Otherwise, I would have opted for cpanel straight away. I am focusing on script optimization as you have suggested and do think the same.
