I have a heavy database-use website, and im looking for a fast and reliable VPS host or Dedicated Host, any ideas? i will follow refereal links if they are good requirements: fast, reliable, lots of disk space and bandwidth
Hi Neonknight, you might want to look at http://www.softlayer.com or http://www.layeredtech.com i personaly use layeredtech and have found their services very good, and good pricing as well.
I would recommend SliceHost.com, they never oversell any resources, which means it feels and works much faster than an average VPS solution. They're also among the most affordable VPS providers, too, with a 256Mb RAM/10Gb HDD/100Gb Traffic plan at 20$/month. I've been with them for half a year, and can't say anything bad - the service is great, the control panel is useful and easy to navigate.
I think it would be better if you provide more details about your requirements so that we can help you more better. For a database driven sites you should always go with a host which allows/provide you daily backup so that in extreme cases you can get your site up, better try to host on Dedicated or semi-dedicated depending on your budget. You can PM me if you are looking for a reliable host.
We have a dual quad core xeon 2.33ghz , 6gb RAM , 250*2 10k RPM SATA , Server , where we host vps servers , tell me what are the specs you are looking for , we will give you a 3 day trial , if you like the hosting you can continue .
I actually got worse performance out of a VPS when compared to my shared account on the same hosting provider. Try to go dedicated if you really need the performance.
