I turn to the WF community for a good VPS provider that you guys have worked with / currently work with.

My needs for the VPS are pretty basic, as a minimum I need:

10gig HDD
1gb ram
100gig transfer
CPanel/WHM w/ installatron or fantastico

I would also LOVE to be able to order different c-class IPs, but that would be just a bonus.:bowdown:
 


And some boobies for the hastle

I've actually been really happy with Rackspace cloud hosting, but like linode, it's unmanaged. The server you spec would be a bit pricy though. I tend to tune the shit out of my installs and get away with the entry-level option (256M RAM) for as long as possible.
 
6sync.

I've had 2 boxes with them and am still hosting there.

Very very good customer service, the best if you're going managed.
 
I'd pitch in (note sig), but I don't offer cpanel/whm, just Directadmin. For fully managed with cpanel/whm and affordable I used to use Knownhost.com as a provider til I got my own dedicated server (well I went knownhost -> zensix [cuz I didn't need the managed] -> dedi -> running ionvz.com)

PS: Liked the ginger tits.
 
So, I signed up with KnownHost since they had a great special going, 75% off for the first month and then 10% off for the lifetime of my subscription!

Thanks guys for the input :)
 
I am using vpsfarm.com. I have a few win2k8 and ubuntu servers there. I am using syscp for my control panel on my ubuntu servers.

That's mostly talking about AU providers, something I don't really need. But I'd rather hear it from the WF community.

I guess my point is that anyone can get a US VPS provider, however if you are accessing it from Australia do you care if your access speeds are sluggish? Those are the first threads you will most likely find on that forum is people bitching about their slow US VPS's and then everyone is going to chime in on why their provider offers the best or the fastest service. I don't think that you are the only one in Australia running US servers. May be useful to do some searches there once you come up with a short list.

Yep they had that special over a year ago when I had them, its like the special they always have :P That 10% also applies to any addons or upgrades you get. They weren't bad, though the machine they put your VPS on is pretty much left to chance (had two management clients there and I had a backup VPS myself and well they had him on a older dual AMD setup that was far less power than the older account that I had, and someone else had a Xenon Q5550 as their host server, so the quality of hardware varies)

Its why I went dedi, I'm spoiled by the fact that I got my personal VPS and bout half a dozen other VPSes on an i7 920 with 12GB of rams and seeing an average of 0.00 0.00 0.00 CPU load on most of the containers (At most I'll see something like 0.08 or something pop up), installing DirectAdmin takes only a couple minutes and everything I compile from source is speedy, so yea I'm spoiled for processor power (couldn't really stand doing the same on a core2 duo).

Yeah that is very true, however, I had compiled my shortlist from webhostingtalk and webhostingtalk.com.au. Thanks for the advice though, much appreciated :D
 
I've been using 2host.com for about a year after seeing their offer of a 2gb RAM, 50 GB disk Xen based vps for $20/month. It's been trustworthy.
