    Hi

    I'm looking to host at least 2/3 of my own websites but I'm also looking at starting to make websites for people using wordpress. For arguments sake 10/15 clients.

    Would a VPS be a good place to host clients websites if they don't wish to do it themselves?

    Heres one I've found - any opinions on it?

    Dedicated Hosting - 512MB VDS with cPanel or Windows 2008
512MB RAM
20GB Hard Disk
400GB monthly data transfer

£29/month
    Code (markup):
    Thanks

    Are you familiar with running a VPS? If not I would get you get a managed VPS.

    If you are going to running websites for clients then VPS / Reseller / Dedicated server should be much better rather than shared hosting. Shared hosting is designed for personal, individual usage and has some limitation even the ones that claimed "unlimited".

    However the specification you mentioned is a fairly good deal. It should be sufficient if those 10 - 15 blogs are low traffics.

    Since VPS has had much better uptime, is much faster, and gives you much more freedom, since you can install any panel you want, it will be good solution - better than shared one.

    You should define with amount of visitors you'll have and then make a decision
