Greg, for what it's worth my
VPS Hosting experiences with eUKhost from November to February on two different hardware nodes, were DIABOLICAL! However, in the interests of fairness I'll begin by saying that eUKhost have moved their datacentre since then and invested in a lot more hardware; they have experienced much (and suffered much) in a variety of
VPS Hosting 'episodes' since then that have been reported here and I think it's quite accurate to say the support team has come through those experiences positively and now has a much stronger grasp of what it takes to keep them running reliably (according to what I've witnessed here) ...
Another however though — I strongly recommend if you're intending on running a hosting business and reliability is of paramount importance, you avoid
VPS Hosting packages like the plague! The hardware node itself and its other 'customers' (other
VPS Hosting owners) are your biggest enemies and you have absolutely NO control of their influence on the stability of your
VPS Hosting. It seems that hardware nodes frequently suffer from trashed hard drives and other issues that can cause major downtime, plus it's a bit of a lottery in keeping your own
VPS Hosting server load out of the red because it's not only dependent on what you're doing, but what your neighbours are up to as well ...
I don't get any similar issues with my
dedicated server — reliability has gone from one of extreme problems (
VPS Hosting) to the complete opposite now, ever since mid-February. Yes there are occasional glitches with issues outside my control (like cPanel updates) and the odd faux pas I make, but the support team are always on hand to help — if it had not been for that fact I would have ditched eUKhost long ago! They are not perfect though (but keep trying, which is important)!
So are you hosting just your own stuff that isn't especially mission-critical, or in the business of providing customers with ultra-reliable hosting, or something else?
