I'm sick of HostGator's constant outages, including today's. Can anyone recommend a solid managed VPS service not related to BlueHost/HostGator?<p>I'm currently paying $51.95/mo for the following and would like to stay in the same price range for similar specs:<p>2.3Ghz (1 core)
1024MB RAM
60GB Disk Space
1000 GB Bandwidth<p>I'd gratefully appreciate any input.
DigitalOcean!!! You can't get a better VPS for their price. Super fast SSD (you feel the difference), almost no outages, extremely easy to setup and you build the stack you want. Stellar customer service. <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.digitalocean.com/</a>
I've had good experiences with Webfaction - they've been quick to respond to tickets and communicate issues/outages well.<p>Roughly looking, your setup would be about $20/mth with them, I think.<p>Direct link: <a href="https://www.webfaction.com/features" rel="nofollow">https://www.webfaction.com/features</a><p>Shameless affiliate link, even though I'd recommend them anyway: <a href="https://www.webfaction.com/features?affiliate=stevejalim" rel="nofollow">https://www.webfaction.com/features?affiliate=stevejalim</a>
I've heard decent things about WiredTree for managed servers. Decent, not awesome.<p>Bytemark are awesome, and do offer managed servers, but I don't know how much they charge for them.
Go for dedicated server for the same price:<p><a href="http://c.gg/ovh" rel="nofollow">http://c.gg/ovh</a><p>That's what I use after I ran away from crappying hostgator.
You should definitely check out WiredTree or Future Hosting. They are both fantastic for managed VPS. <a href="http://www.futurehosting.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.futurehosting.com</a> <a href="http://www.wiredtree.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.wiredtree.com</a>
I think LiquidWeb is certainly worth considering for a managed VPS in this price range: <a href="http://www.liquidweb.com/StormServers/vps.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.liquidweb.com/StormServers/vps.html</a>
