Looking for small VPS + shared hosting

[woja]

Hi all.
I've had the misfortune of using Photonservers' VPS and shared hosting, and came to new levels of suckiness today when the VPS simply stopped working for no reason and support just said that I need to reinstall the OS since they have no clue what's going on there.

So, I'm moving from them mid-term. Still have 2 weeks that I've paid for, but I can't stand it anymore.

What I need:

1) Shared hosting for http://hd-dump.org

2) UNMANAGED VPS. I will want small basic offshore VPS. Will need to be able to to private Rapidleech with rar/unrar. I don't need much HDD. 10gb would be enough. Shared 100Mbit
I WANT you to limit the cpu usage so that I can rar/unrar as much as I like without being bothered about complaints of me overusing the server. Bandwidth consumption isn't high... would probably be about 60gb/day total upload+download. good speeds to Rapidshare are a must.

If you're interested and have something to offer, please send:
For 1) demo link of your server speeds - host-tracker.com speeds
For 2) What server are you on? What are general RL speeds?


Cheers

1 - For your shared hosting, you should look in the shared hosting section, or just ask around. You will soon find out who's good and who's not. -- Beware that many people will post here saying "go with us" or "check out our thread" etc, etc. (I would stay away from such hosts, self advertisers).

2 - As for VPS, I suggest you talk to OpenVServers, they are one of the best vps hosts i've seen, and I can personally vouch for them. Since their website is down still (i think), contact their sales at: Sales[AT]OpenVServers.biz Good Luck.

ps - if you need some help trying to choose a web host or vps host, feel free to contact me.

Thanks for the advice Sandino, but $38 is the cheapest VPS they have. Like I said I'm looking for a relatively basic VPS. I'll probably upgrade in the near future, but in the meanwhile, I need a small one.

I've tried a lot of shared hosts, and they've all been rather poor except for one shining star - Lisvo, which unfortunately has shut down.

r0ck - my only reservation with Startech is that they seem rather new... which is always risky in my books.

The site may be new but trust me my experience isn't new

Actually the cheapest they have is about 17. it might be around 38 with cpanel not sure, but there are always alternatives to cpanel.

Also they could possibly make a custom vps for you, just ask


As for trying alot of hosts, I am sorry you've tried bad hosts, but i'm sure you haven't tried all of them here

@ woja, funny, same happened to me at Photonservers. I know what happened, they were hacked (my VPS was through an apache security hole) which obviously all VPSes have (I didn't host any website). They hacked, deleted all my shit, placed 220gb of data on my hdd (no clue what it was) when I was about to find out where it was, they immediately removed it (like, they were monitoring me). Have had serious downtimes (8+ hours) as well.

Funny. They told me I was the only one with the problem and started accsing me of changing ssh configuration files (if only I even knew how to do that).

@Golden.Brown. Sorry but your BW limitations are a bit low. I problably need more along the lines of 2TB+
