VPS services

[hostme2]

I'm not sure about other Resellers/ Providers.

But I've started switching to VPS (Virtual Private Servers).

Why?

Well I have a few small resellers under 20 domains and with a reseller plan they can't have WHM and a dedicated box is over kill for them.

Is Hostnine looking to get into the VPS market?

if I remember correctly they had a VPS in their offering, powerVPS if I'm not mistaken, dunno what happened with that though..

PowerVPS isn't the same company as hostnine :/

VPS tends to be slower due to allowable burst resources etc.

H9 did look into this and even had an eval system and for their reasons dropped it.

If you find a reliable supplier, VPS'es are not slower than shared - they are actually better.

You can configure everything as though it was a dedicated server; at a fraction of the price. You get dedicated RAM allocation, with a burstable amount on top.

With PVPS, I get over 300MB dedicated RAM, burstable to 1GB.. so for general use, I use well under the allocation, and if I need to do anything heavy, the burstable RAM is available for use.
