Hey Guys,
I would like to see your input about what vps should I go with. Right now, let me jot down what options I am seeking the most for in all the vps providers. I have been lurking around at webhostingtalk.com and following peoples recommendations and also the vps offers given at that site by numerous hosting companies.
Requirements for my site:
20-50GB in Disk Space
500GB+ in Monthly Bandwidth
Cpanel/WHM Control Panels
Managed VPS Systems (Monitoring, Backups etc.)
24/7 Live, Forum & Ticket Support
Min. RAM (320MB+) & Burstable (1024MB+)
A Very Good Uptime Guaranteed
DDoS Protection
PHP5 & MYSQL5
Unlimited MYSQL Databases with no limits in space
Full Root Access
Virtuozzo
Very very fast server
Pricing should be from US$35-80 per month
Extra Features:
FFMPEG & MENCODER Compatibility
30+ Day Money Back Guarantee
IP Addresses: 2 or more...
Site Migration done by the host (my site diskspace is 4.4 gb right now, needs to be moved from the built in hsphere control panel). I will not go with any hosting that will lose any of my data.
Currently, my sites domain is being transferred from ************ to GODADDY. I have had enough of handling the shared hosting through ************, the system does give database and much more errors every now and then. Let me tell you about my website. It is Bangladesh's Largest Automotive Website, a 1 year old community with around 3700 members and about 70 active users everyday. We have around 50 members using the forum, the gallery and the whole website at the peak hours. I am more than sure that this will rise to almost 500 members within a year mainly because of the heavy advertisement we have done and also because we are now an established Limited Liability Company.
The shared hosting at ************ was used for a year for www.wheelsbd.com (my concerned site) and I wish to enhance the ease of access for my site so that it doesnt go down every now and then and doesnt hang when too many users are active. I want to start off with a VPS and then move to a dedicated server once times flies by. For now, after researching, I have become totally interested with KnowHost, they seem to have the best reviews everywhere, not even one single negative comment was found by me about them. I have also looked and disturbed the people working at Hostican, Inmotion Hosting, VPSNext, VPSVille, VPSLand, ThePlanet, HOSTV. So far Hostican, Inmotion and HOSTV have become in my table for decision. But all three have had so much negative comments about them.
I want to know whose vps you guys use and if it is any good or not...my site consists of vbulletin forum, photopost gallery, photopost classified and the joomla cms homepage, all integrated. You can lurk around my site as the following member login details and see if you find it a good site with a pretty good speed or not...I cannot distinguish it that well. My site contains mostly images and videos of 4.4gb in diskspace and the site eats around 50gb bandwidth every month and it keeps on rising every month. The site has two databases, one is around 120mb in size and the other is around 10mb in size, both will need to be uploaded by the hosting company.
