webbased or vps

im just wondering which one is better off to go with? web based hosting or vps hosting? i've always liked vps hosting and if so what r some cheap vps hosters i could use?

 

VPS, because you can host web with it anyways, and you can do other stuffiez

 

u kno any good cheap hosters?

 

allgamer is good
Clinton he will help you

 

woah u crazy? 1 gb ram is 30$ thats not cheap at all

 

One with NO SUPPORT, and you have to setup yourself, is: kimsufi.com, they offer fair quality, but if you want a really good one (expensive) try limestonenetworks (still have to setup yourself)
I can help you setup these if you'd like.

 

They offer good support and if your new to linux you want that and they have great server hosting

 

My favorite VPS provider is Linode. You have to take into account that not all the memory in your OS will be accessible to the Minecraft Server/JVM, since you have an OS running on top of it.

VPSes aren't cheap, and I would say 1 GB of ram for $30 is reasonable if it is a good VPS.

 

hmm well theres no way i can afford that atm so right now im using avantehosting.net and im using the 1gb ram plan but i think i think maybe 1.5 anywhere else i could get that for about the same price as im paying now?

 

I use avante for temp and its very laggy and no support (2gb)

 

I pay $50 per month for a 1GB Xen VPS running LAMP server and all. Use it to host my forums, never goes above 250mb memory usage and never goes above 3-5% CPU usage unless I'm taking backups. Note, the high price is due to the excellent network, fully managed, plus the great hardware firewalls/routers.

 

same, except instead of forums it runs http://serverchunk.com

 

okay den.

 

I have 4GB for 21 Eur a month. U Jelly?

 

Thanks. : )

 

You could check http://TRHDomains.com
They got some very good VPS / VDS and some really good prices on DS

 

Honestly, all shared hosting is mostly trash. They can startoff either horribly or startoff good, but later hit you with "high cpu use" or "high memory use" account bans. Load of crap if you ask me.

VPS gives you full control and is usually FAR more powerful than an overloaded shared hosting node. Just make sure you are good with managing a Linux operating system.........if not, then DEFINITELY go with shared hosting, since there is tons of issues that could open with security.
