I am looking to get a VPs that has around 1500-2000 GB bandwith and 80+GB space and of course being able to handle the pressure. i am currently hosting with surfspeedy paying about 60 $ /month looking to pay that much as well. I need the site to be popular and no down time from there side. Any thoughts?
I can't suggest a vps as my current vps provider have higher price than you require. I can suggest to choose lighttpd as web server because is less resource intensive in respect of apache. So this web server should handle the pressure better of apache vps. It is used by YouTube, wikipedia, and meebo. http://www.lighttpd.net/ for a small list of vps provider that support lighttpd http://lxlabs.com/partner/
