They don’t say how much memory their plans has. They even said to some users : you must upgrade to dedicated since you are using too much resources. We think you should avoid them, although they are well known hosting provider.

There are a lot of complains about Vpsland.com, but some users have opposite opinions. We’ve seen a lot of complains about them – poor speed, almost no support, support tickets haven’t answered, overselling, servers went down. Others claim they answer support tickets within 30 minutes, speed is OK. It seems so far that is smarter to avoid them.
Managed VS Unmanaged VPS
Many novice users are confused should they choose managed or unmanaged VPS plan and what does it mean. Unmanaged hosting plan means that user will do configuration, additional software install, customization, maintenance and backup on its own. Managed hosting plan means that hosting provider should provide administration without additional costs which usually includes : custom configuration of users needs, installation of additional software by demand, customization of each aspect of VPS customer demand, periodical backup.
So, basically managed VPS is unmanaged VPS + administration.
Why to use VPS?
If you are confused should you choose more expensive dedicated server or VPS might suit your needs, this is the article for you.
Virtual Private Servers (VPS, sometimes called Virtual Dedicated Servers - VDS or just virtual servers) are becoming more and more popular as hosting choice at the Internet.
VPS is acronym for virtual private server - it looks to you as a real server, you could do with it everything you can do with the real server, but in the reality one server is shared among several or many virtual servers. Some software technologies for VPS have very little overhead (under 5%), but some other have overhead up to 60%, but still if computer where these virtual servers are physicly hosted is very strong, these VPS might be quite fast.
If you start your new web site for whom you need some custom software and therefore shared hosting cannot suit your needs you have to possible solutions : dedicated server of virtual private servers (VPS). But, VPS might be up to 10 times less expensive, and there are some decent offers which starts as low as 15$ a month at this moment. Also, the price for VPS lower as time goes on. New and cheaper software technologies which allows building of VPS servers are made which allows VPS providers to lower their price for VPS servers.
For majority of small business dedicated server is not needed and VPS would suit their needs and lower hosting expenses.
Note that when your site your website you probably won’t have large amount of queries and visitors and therefore you won’t need much computation power and VPS might perfectly suit your needs. VPS is usuall good solution for each webserver which is not heavily loaded. And sometimes even if you have heavily loaded server VPS might be enough if your web application doesn’t have performance botlenecks.
Some companies uses VPS as a testing servers or backup servers and for production they use more faster dedicted servers.
So, let me conclude - VPS is excellent choise for startup websites, testing servers and backup servers for many Internet websites.
VPS VS Dedicated Servers
We are considering many issues about Virtual Private Servers (VPS) and Dedicated Servers. Among those issues there are : power consumption, software backups, maintenance costs, network equipment, performances and software licensing.
VPSs(Virtual Private Servers) have higher hardware utilization rate.
They are cheaper since they have less power electricity costs than physical servers.
Maintenance of VPS is more expensive, since administrators needs more knowledge for administration VPS related technologies like Xen, Virtuozzo or OpenVZ. Moreover, all maintenance on many systems they must perform in short amount of time.
Security is more complex in VPS than in dedicated servers. There are two layers of security : physical server security and VPS based security. VPS monitoring is more difficult than monitoring dedicated servers.
VPS needs usually more expensive drivers like multi-port network adapters and other related equipment like UTP cables and switches.
VPS providers usually need more IP addresses than providers of dedicated servers. If one has 100 physical computers with 20 VPS on each it is still 2000 IP addresses. Physical system which runs many VPS might have very high packets per second (PPS) in network.
There are sometimes advantages in software license with having VPS.
VPS nowadays have usually very little overhead (less than 5%) on some modern virtualization software. But, disk I/O performances might be slow due to more disk fragmentation and number of different request at the same time. At the another way, if VPS provider use RAID5 or other controllers, in case of peak use, VPS might have much better hard disk performance than average dedicated server.
Disadvantages of Virtual Private Servers
1. Server failures. With many processes, users, nonstandard kernel, VPS might have more server failures.
2. VPS need more time for administrators. Many administrators are not used to VPS related technologies and they need more time and maintenance expenses are larger.
3. Capacity management expenses rises. Maintaining more storage, RAID disks, network file systems (NFS), etc.
