I'm looking to test a new VPS host without committing too much upfront.
Any providers out there currently offering heavy discounts for the first month?
Specialization means the provider knows what they're doing, since they only offer a limited range of products; or it can mean that the provider's business plan is focused on only that range.
Developer-Friendly Features. If you require SSH access, staging environments, or support for multiple programming languages, check their developer tools.
A restrictive host can limit flexibility.
