    Hello All!

    I'm looking for a cheap unmanaged VPS hosting - up to $9.99/mo.

    I will NOT host there a lot of sites, 3-4 not more
    with maximum total attendance of all sites - less than 1000 visitors per day.
    I need to be a root on this machine, because these www-s will be powered by "apache friends' - xampp package"

    So, HDD space is not critical. 4-5 Gb will be OK for me.
    About RAM, I think, at least 128Mb, burstable to 256+... is necessary.

    Anyone can suggest some VPS hosting variants?

    Well, I guess xampp won't run on linux boxes...However you can get 128MB unmanaged VPS with free LxAdmin control panel at cheapvps.co.uk :)

    Forget xampp...it's not for production use at all.

    You get a Linux VPS. Ask them to install LxAdmin control panel (free). It should be enough and comes with all services needed to host websites.

    Yes, I know about Xampp.
    But, I have closed all(?) security holes in the Xampp and I have already configured stuff in a few seconds with FTP, MySQL and Apache.
    After all, it's a matter of taste (and performance).
