Can you elaborate more about your requirements? You will find many hosting companies who offer Apache and Nginx on VPS servers. I would recommend you to browse web hosting offer section along with several forum threads here, contact several hosting companies to check what type of services they offer with VPS and which they don’t. I think through this way you will find your host pretty soon.
Host Gator is well above market price for VPS. Digital Ocean is a pretty good company but, they do not provide support more than their forums and knowledge base. If you need a solution that with good support for less than DO prices prices check out our new offering. https://www.verticalswitch.com/cloud-ssd-vm-hosting/
"Host Gator is well above market price for VPS." Well, that is one way to put it lol.. I pay pretty much 100 dollars less for the exact same thing and a bit faster as well with these folks. http://www.iwfhosting.net/vps/ More noteworthy. In the year I have been with them I have only spoken to 2 different people. No tickets, no nonsense. I have an issue they fix stuff in real time with me. If I do drop a support ticket they are still all sorts of on top of things. As far as nginix goes. You will typically want to config that yourself anyway. Nigel
When some plans offer lower prices, it's important to consider factors such as performance, customer support, and scalability for your specific needs. I recommend researching reputable VPS hosting providers that offer Nginx hosting in the USA. Some popular options include DedicatedCore, DomainRacer, and Linode who is shortlisted based on good reviews, reliable uptime, and competitive pricing.
Ask the hosting provider how often have they faced downtime in past. The ideal answer should be never but even the best of hosting providers have experienced downtime occasionally.
Try narrowing your list of options by looking at the cheapest web host package that can meet your needs at the same time. Do not compromise what had been planned about for the web site just to meet the level of what can just be offered with the cheap web hosting package.
