    VPS providers - research

    Here is the new thread, I've put the cheapest plans from each provider here just for reference and these are also in alphabetical order.

    If you have been with a VPS provider, please post their name and give a short but detailed report about them (the good, the bad and the ugly) and if you have had a VPS provider that has done really well for you, please indicate that you would like to vote for them.

    I'm with 2 VPS providers right now and I will give them reports after I've been with them for some time.

    This is an attempt to get away form the popularity contests.
    If I don't have a VPS provider here, please post their information and I'll add it to the running poll. So just view my last post to see the updated poll.

    My new VPS provider, VPSLand, just got me setup yesterday, they put me on a Xeon 3GHZ Machine. I'll give a report about them after I've been with them for some time.

    I have a VPS w/Steadfast Networks. solid support. solid network. No problems.
    Below is their lowest price VPS. it's less than when I signed up. I have two IPs.
    I find the response to shell commands slow. http accesses are fast, so it's probably just the inefficiencies in VPS.

    It looks like a few more VPS providers have been discovered. Please post their info here.

    As for VPSLand, because they use Xen, it doesn't have a control panel like Virtuozzo does, but so far I have no complaints. They got me setup really quick and so far the server load has been awesome. I'm on a Xeon 3GHz Machine with them.

    Shouldn't you figure in the cost of a control panel?

    Some include them, while others charge $5-$15 for one...

    Another suggestion. Create a link out of the host's name so that it points to the actual site.
    Have a question?

    Both very good ideas, unfortunately I didn't have time to do more then just find their cheapest plan. If somebody wants to do that, feel free to post them.
    This was just from when I was looking for another VPS provider, I copied all my research.

    One thing to note about VPS providers, most the time you get what you pay for.
    Though I seem to have found a VPS provider with good service and cheap price.

    So far I have been with 3 VPS providers and I don't recommend any of them.

    Well, after being with VPS land for a few months... their severs are stable but their support is dreadful.

    They don't have a phone number to call them at.
    They only have a online chat, which is for sales only, and you get real lucky if you get to talk to someone on the live chat.

    They are supposed to have 24/7 support... I've had 2 support tickets in their system for over 4 days now and they still haven't responded.

    so... I don't recommend Ipower for VPS (Bad support, took them 4 weeks to solve an ftp issue), I don't recommend jaguar PC (their server's go offline way to much) and I don't recommend VPS land (Dreadful support)

    Well, VPS land has responded to my support tickets and have resolved the issue...

    I have been extremely happy with the way their servers have performed.
    I have not noticed any downtime, which is a big plus for me. My only complaint with them has been the support issue.

    I would recommend them to anydody needing a stable VPS but not needing much in the way of support.

    Thanks for posting this. I've seen references to how Westhost doesn't provide a "real" VPS, allowing you to be root and change everything you want. I was interested to know exactly how they limited their user's account. Your post put it quite succinctly.

    VPSLand does Windows VPS. They won't respond to your tickets in 10 minutes, but their servers are very stable.

    westhost is a sphera provider, and it is not like a vps, its like a shared hosting account.
