Looking for dedicated server or vps

    Im looking for a reliable host to host my site www.animefuel.com. I was recently on a shared hosting plan with godaddy which ran fine for 4 months or so. But it has recently been cancelled due to high cpu usage so I had upgraded to a vps.

    Talk about trouble, site is slower then it was on shared hosting (which i had never had a problem with).

    Heres a message from them:

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Thank you for contacting Server Support.

    When we originally investigated the server, it seems that the problem is related to python, either due to the fact that there is a bad script not closing, or something a long those lines, however it could not be verified. Unfortunately virtual dedicated servers RAM can not be upgraded post provisioning. In situations where you need more memory, usually a migration from the old server to the new server is required. In the case of your server it is suggested a full dedicated server would fix your issue. 512 on a virtual dedicated could fix the issue, but if it does not you would be going through this process again. Once you have migrated your information, you can call our billing department for any applicable refunds on the old server.

    Let us know how we can further assist you,

    Regards,

    I dont understand why my site would require a dedicated server when it was running practically perfectly on shared hosting until recently. But im looking for a new host once again and will probably attempt to get a refund from godaddy.

    Im looking for a sufficient host that has reviews or customers to back them up. Price is also a factor here I was paying $40 a month for the godaddy vps.

    Thanks guys

    Godaddy dedicated or vps or shared do not have reputable feedbacks. They are only good for domains.

    Try: knownhost.com VPS or their hybrid server.
    or get affordable dedicated server at versaweb.com

    *you can pay monthly with them

    They have been well known companies with many customers and fast customer support..

    If you go for versaweb.com, I can offer you hosting rebates since I own many servers with them. (PM me)

    I've been a customer of steadcom for over a month, and no problems at all. Then again, since I'm on a VPS, most of it is my control, so I can fix things.

    But, I recommend Steadcom, check them here.

    Hi there,

    Could you please provide some info as to what you're exactly looking for in terms of bandwidth / disk space / control panel etc.. ?

    I have a couple of slots open on my VPS nodes. Do let me know your requirements so I can get a quote out for you.

    Regards,
    ashagg

    Hello there
    Kiloserve can offer either a VPS or a dedicated server.
    We currently have our unmanaged Windows VPS on offer: pay 1 month and get 3 more for free. Price for the first 4 months is $49.95 (+$5.99 setup) and then after the 4th month $49.95 per month. This offer includes:
    - 20GB space (is this enough for your videos?)
    - 350GB bandwidth
    - 3 IPs
    - 512MB RAM guaranteed

    Bandwidth upgrades are available

    I have to say that this is an unmanaged VPS but as you know Windows is easy. Nevertheless you can buy management services from us for a discounted $20 a month (normal price is $30) until you get the hang of your VPS.

    We can also offer a dedicated server but since the server running the VPS's is quite underused, I believe this is a good value for money especially since the cost for the first 4 months is only $55.98 (about $14 a month)

    You also get a very responsive 24/7 email support as well as a 7-day money back guarantee.

    Please drop me a PM if you need more info and do check other peoples' feedback on my threads.

    Thanks

    There is no need to switch to a dedicated server. I checked your site out and it seems fine. I can offer you cheap shared hosting and you shall have no problems as are server is never oversold and we can make sure you have the best hosting. I can PM you with some prices if you wish to stay on a shared host. If wanted you can always upgrade to dedicated server at anytime. I will PM you some prices.

    I dont think that a 43k alexa rank site(and growing) will handle at shared hosting:)
    Just my 2 cents,
