I just migrated one of my website to vps.net but just today my site was down due to overload or out of memory issue as what the technical support told me. I signed up with 3 nodes priced at $54.00 that has the following specs: DEDICATED CPU = 1.8GHz DEDICATED RAM = 1128M DISK SPACE = 30G NETWORK TRANSFER = 750G Plus $10/month for cPanel and another $10 for backup and rsync. My daily page view played around 4k to 8k daily. And I am wondering why it has a memory issue when in fact at hostgator.com (my previous host) I have around 10k to 15k page views a day. I signed up on hostgator using VPS plan with level 3 and vps.net has a powerful specs compare to hostgator. I am suppose to migrate one of my website left from hostgator to vps.net but I am confuse now. Because I'm just hosted at vps.net to my 6th day today. Anyone can recommend what the best thing to do? should I come back to hostgator and upgrade my VPS plan to level 4 or 5? or should I remain on vps.net and upgrade my cloud to 4 or 5? Summary: my website hosted at vps.net has around 60k visitors and 100k page views a month and my website hosted at hostgator has around 100k visitors and 500k page views a month. Please share only if you have this amount of traffic. Or have more traffic than me. Thank you
Your needs really depends on the type of website you are running. If it is a static website, that amount of visitors shouldn't cause too high of a load memory wise and high-end shared hosting or a decent VPS would be fine, but when you factor in a database, additional scripts or plugins for a Wordpress website or a high traffic forum, it can REALLY make an impact on the memory and CPU and a dedicated server would be necessary. From the limited info you provided, it sounds like your current VPS isn't going to be quite enough if you are running out of memory. I would spend a few extra dollars and either go with a more robust VPS or even go with a decent dedicated server if the website is important to you. Good luck!
Personally I use Web Hosting Hub. They are really reasonable and they provided me with everything I needed for my business. I am very pleased with the services they are providing me and I would recommend them to anyone! Vette Bay Helping others Help Themselves
Thanks for the reply. My site running at vps.net is powered with WordPress and the site running on hostgator is powered with Drupal. I just woke up and my site at hostgator is down. I thought the server load has lessen because I transferred one website that has high traffic also to vps.net. Your advice is highly appreciated. thank you
I would say, first check the reason for your server getting overload, its CPU or its memory issue, and if you think its memory issue, than I would suggest going for dedicated server which has 2-4gb of ram, you are already paying good enough for VPS, so why not consider a dedicated server, in which you have all control and you can as well figure out whats causing the high load in your server, and accordingly you will work on it, instead of keep upgrading to VPN and going nowhere, for a overload there could be many reasons, which you need to find, if you have good tech knowledge than you can check it, if not than ask your host to check logs and help to find out whats causing overload
The most valuable negative reviews are the ones that portray both sides of the pictures because they are unlikely to be biased as they can see the good and the bad unlike the ones that are just really pissed at a particular host because they made one or two mistakes.
It depends extremely, 150k page loads of a static HTML page, or a extremely loaded website with pictures, scripts and dynamic per-user generated content?, this will affect how much CPU,bandwidth needs you have, if you can supply some statistics about your current usage and these details, it should be more plausible to give good advice.
