What I Found for VPS Web Hosting
I basically searched on WebHostingTalk and I found the best and most talked about VPS companies that are the cheapest. They are Fsckvps.com Unmanaged VPS Hosting and KnownHost.com Managed VPS Hosting. They both are enabled for cPanel at an extra cost.
By comparing the prices I decided to go with KnownHost because they are a Managed VPS Hosting company and I was only really saving about $10 to $15 by choosing an Unmanaged VPS Hosting Plan.
There’s really no point in purchasing a reseller web hosting account if they have VPS accounts at the same price as a reseller account.
KnownHost.com – Managed VPS Hosting Plan (My Choice VS2)
- 384 MB RAM, 20GB Disk Space, 400 GB Transfer – $35/mo + $5/mo cPanel
- 50% off with 1st & 2nd month on VS2-VS5 plans. HOTVPS
FSCKVPS.com – Unmanaged VPS Hosting Plan (Basic)
- 512 MB RAM (1GB Burst), 20Gb Disk Space, 400Gb Transfer (approx 600Mhz guarenteed) – $9.95/mo + $13.95/mo cPanel
I decided to choose KnownHost because they have around 100 servers and they are fully managed.
- 1st month – $20.50
- 2nd month – $20.50
- 3rd month – $41.00
- 4th month – $41.00
- etc – $41.00
- 4 months in – $123
- 8 months in – $287
With knownhost they also do every other day full back-ups.
FSCKVPS.com would end up being $23.90
- 1st month – $23.90
- 2nd month – $23.90
- 3rd month – $23.90
- 4th month – $23.90
- etc – $23.90
- 4 months in – $95.6
- 8 months in – $191.20
- take 1-2 hours to install cpanel/whm
So what do you think is it worth it for Managed VPS Hosting?
I think the fsckvps.com is the better option.
