Few points regarding choosing your VPS provider - helps you choose your virtual server
14 March 2009At this website, you can find reviews of web hosting companies. These reviews are my compilation from other reviews I found at the Internet and relevant forums and similar. Also, I looks into uptime and pricing of each provider. Apart from looking at this website and similar I would like to point to you to some other things you might want to consider :
- for how long company exist for - young companies might disappear or have stratup problems. If they disappear they could wipe out your account 
- is company popular or not “yourcompany vps” - how many documents it maches at the Internet, or “youcompany hosting”
- “company bad” vs “company good” at the internet and similar queries like “company sucks”, “company rocks”…
- if you are purchasing VPS for hosting of websites and would like to be ranked better, you should consider your local hosting provider - if you have website in English, Matt Cutts from Google confirmed you’ll be ranked better if you are hosted in USA or UK . Although that is only one small factor in search engine rankings, but for some people it might be important. That is the reason you might want to avoid European based VPS and currently hosteurope.de is still my choice due to pricing.
- beware that there are some fake reviews at the Internet, forums…. someone from the company posts good review, than someone from competitors post bad review about them… there are bunch of small VPS companies around… and few big… It might make sense to stick to big company (khum, I recently changed my IT career from big company to startup, why do I say that 
.
Anyway, I’m still doing Java software development and at the moment VPS seems to be the only reasonable hosting solution and for that I need VPS with at least 768 MB of dedicated RAM for tomcat and MySQL I’m using… Look carefully for resources hosting company provides, since some provides very little memory with they plans, or memory in their offer is burstable (not guaranteed). Some companies also tend to provide low hard drive or traffic … so you have to know which resources you need. However I would be amazed that some people actually buy 128MB VPS for web hosting . What do you think?

I moderate all posts at this website to avoid spam. Sorry. You can create a post in draft mode, but if it looks like promotion of some company most likely it will be deleted.

You might be surprised at what you can with 128MB. One customer with us (GigaTux) hosts his git repository (and personal websites) on that with no slowdowns. Of course, tuning it for low memory use is key!
