Looking for a good VPS Deal

    Hello,

    I have plans to start a website related to Indian Rock Music which will also have a online flash player where people can listen to audio tracks anytime they want. The tracks will be encoded at 96kbps mp3 each.
    The site is expected to reach 100 users from the second month.

    Now, I am looking for a good hosting ( VPS or Dedicated Maybe ) to host the site and the songs and be able to stream the audio without any problems. I have full rights to broadcast the tracks, so licensing is not a problem.

    Please reply ONLY if you have been in business for more than a year or two, and have a well established and registered company.

    I need:

    A fair amount of space: 10GB+
    Lot of Bandwidth: Audio Streaming, so its needed
    RAM: 1GB
    My OWN hostname for the VPS: Yes Please
    Cpanel is NOT a necessity, but appreciated if present.
    99.9% Uptime Guarantee SLA
    Fully-Managed.

    Please post your offers for me to review :)

    P.S: In the audio that will be played, we will be inserting jingles of sponsors, 15-30 seconds each. So if you wish to sponsor, please PM me.

    Thanks.

    Hi there, do you prefer a shoutcast server or a server with all the requirements for your site?

    What budget you have in mind?

    If the number of users increases in the future, it will be very costly for me.
    So I'd prefer a VPS / Semi-Dedi only

    Budget is about $50 / mon. But better if I find sponsors.

    Would you be able to set up Shoutcast yourself? That way you would only be looking for a server.

    @fireshark:

    Yea, I'll be able to set up shoutcast myself. That won't be a problem.

    @Loco.M:

    Checked them out. They have less ram amount. Even a 512MB VPS costs $130 :(

    Best reliability I would say is serving. Their resources are expensive however 256MB mem, 10GB space for U$50.

    I am currently using zone.net as their resources are higher and their CPU allocation is pretty high. However I'v had some DNS issues for last week and I'm still to hear from support.

    My very general guideline.

    up to U$50 p/m:
    Good Host:
    256MB Ram, 10-20GB space, under 150GB BW
    Other Hosts:
    512-768MB , 20-40GB Space, under 400GB BW

    Anything above those specs under U$50 your support and uptime will suffer.
