I need some advice about vps requirement

**webdeveloper** · Mar 26th, 2011, 12:34 pm

Hi, guys! I need some advice. I am running three websites, one of them have about 10000 visitors a day, each visitor views five pages. The entire website was developed with html. I planning to move my main website to a vps because I'm having trouble with my shared host account. I have no experience with vps. So I decided to find a cheap vps managed provider. I also need to known the hardware requirement for the vps such as RAM memory and CPU requirement. One more thing I've been using Linux for about five years in my personal computer so I already have a little experience with linux. Anyone could give me some advice how can I get started?

It may be more beneficial to get your own dedicated server at this point, it will offer more flexibility. What type of bandwidth are you pushing? My initial recommendation would be some sort of Xeon Quad Core with about 8-16GB of RAM. Probably makes sense to just go with 16GB RAM as there shouldn't be much difference in the cost per month.

Like I sad before my main website was entire developed with html. The current monthly is 60 GB month. There is only few graphics, a simple design and very optimized. I'm little afraid of getting a dedicated server rightaway because I don't have any knowledge about it. So I decided to go with vps first. People say vps is more secure for newbie. Meanwhile I will learn more about dedicated server.

Yes, you have made the right decision. At the initial stage a dedicated server could be costly, so its better to opt for a Virtual private server.

You know, it will be always great to contact the host first hand and see how fast they will respond and how knowledgeable are they support team.

I'd contact a few VPS providers that you're interested in and provide them with the requirements. Since your not requiring a great deal of bandwidth or RAM many providers should be able to meet your requirements and provide a low-cost solution (just dont go to cheap:-)

Once you meet any hosting provider that could fulfill your hosting requirements, make sure they offer 100% network uptime, 30-day moneyback guarantee and customer support via Live Chat, Phone and Email.

I would not suggest going dedicated server just yet. A VPS is still good in your case and is a lot cheaper. I pay way less for my 3 VPS than my co-worker does for a dedicated server and the speeds and resources aren't that much better.
