Please recommend me a good VPS or Dedicated server

    Hello,
    I am using a shared hosting plan but sometimes they said my sites use too much resources, so i keep transferring from this shared hosting plan to another... and it wasted lot of time to transfer sites.

    I can make about $400 / month now for all my sites so I can afford a VPS or dedicated server. I am looking at the Planet that currently offer a discount of$147/month (normally $259) for Intel Dual Xeon 2.8GHz Processor plan from the Planet.

    What do you think about this plan? should I go with this plan or should I use VPS and if yes, what company is good?

    Thanks,
    Jenny.

    $147/month discount, how they can afford such big discount ;) better check twice for their service and make sure you are not missing anything.

    Regarding Hosting : i am with www.webhosting.UK.com really you worth paying them and you get excellent service and support for reasonable prices.

    They have a coupon for me so I paid only $147/mo for dedicated server. I don't know if anyone use the Planet and give me some advice. I never use dedicated server before so I am not sure if it is easy to configure and setup like a shared hosting or not.

    Thanks.

    I have heard that the planet is good and I have been considering switching to them too. It would be good to hear if anyone has experience with them. I know that HostGator's servers are there and I have hosted with them for a while.

    Get a good VPS - if you are almost okay on shared, then you don't need to make the jump to dedicated... Save some money ;)

    It really depends on how much bandwidth and resources you use - and where your main audience (users) are... provide some more info, and I'd be happy to recommend some providers.

    I would say the planet is trustable. They for one do own there own data center and don't just rent off other companies.

    I have rented a server off them before and had no troubles.

    Good luck on your choosing!

    This thread is a year old. I am sure the thread starter has found a solution. :)
