I'll brief you with the story that you will have within next 3 - 4 months. One day the server hosting your
VPS Hosting will crash and there wont be any data left on the server after 3 days of downtime. more than 50% of
VPS Hosting providers in US are my friends and I know how things get managed by them.
VPS Hosting hosting is not as simple as cpanel shared hosting and its much more complicated with OpenVZ as you don't have any sort of automated backup scripts with OpenVZ. Restoring data with OpenVZ takes longer time and for your information we maintain 2 weekly backups of all our nodes which no other
VPS Hosting provider does.
VPS Hosting can never be as reliable as a
dedicated server in terms of uptime but at least Virtuozzo is something which makes it more reliable.
I had a look at configuration of Nodes of some of the US companies and I was shocked to see that they were running 100
VPS Hosting's on Dual Xeon 2.0 GHZ with 4 GB RAM. We have Quad core Xeon x3210 with 4 GB RAM and we don't run more than 20
VPS Hosting's on any of our nodes.
