VPS server question?

    Do you think the vps-extreme on that page could hold my 2 sites that get a total of 25k uniques a day (125k pageviews a day)?

    One of the sites is a video site (I host the videos) and the other is a image uploader.

    I think it looks good and I heard some good things about them. Just wanted to see what you guys thought before I throw $100 on a server.

    Thanks!

    Unmetered bandwidth? And the first package has 2TB of it. You'd better read up their terms of service so you don't end up getting suspended. Figure out how much resources you need and pick a host that doesn't oversell.

    Yes, I already talked to there live support and they dont care what you host on VPSs as long as its legal and non proxy.

    They claim that there VPS can run it, but what are they going to say...

    Also I read some reviews and all the VPS ones were positive, which means they dont oversell.

    I just wanted to see other peoples opinions.

    perhaps you should re-pose the same question in the hosting section because for that money on a VPS server i would expect a lot more RAM.

    1 question is potential for growth... with those traffic figures and future growth maybe dedicated is a better outlook

    I was looking at iwhic.com and they let you take up to 20% of there servers. I looked at there server stats and only 4% was taken up. So that means they dont oversell. I could get iwhic account for each of my sites, that would be a option and only cost $20 per month.

    Oh yea after another month, if the site keeps growing I will probably upgrade to a dedicated. I just dont want to spend $300 a month on a dedicated and my sites not take off.

    I found this, but I heard some bad things about 55host.

    Be careful with hostican. There are a lot of bad reviews on them. Their vps are way over packed. I have heard 200+. Their support sucks and are rude. Do a google search if you want.

    That is weird because I did a google search and I saw 12 out of 12 positive...

    Also, I was thinking about this option...
    Get one VPS-1024 from http://www.wixed.co.uk/vps.php and then get another one at a later date. Which would be one for each site.

    $100 to $200 a month. Preferred $100 to start out with, but will upgrade once sites get bigger.

    I don't like offerings that say "unmetered".. because most of them are aimed to fish for customers, not to provide anyone with real service. I would suggest you to get VPS with 1024 RAM.
