It has all of the benefits of a dedicated server at a fraction of the cost.
Once I was sold on VPS hosting, it was time to search out a suitable host.
I discovered that most of the big competitors in the space had very comparable specs.
The three most popular providers based on my research are Slicehost, Linode, and Webbynode.
Each provider has different plans to choose from which all revolve around more RAM, storage, and bandwidth.
Webbynode’s prices fell somewhere in-between the other two.
Linode offers both 32 and 64-bit virtual servers while Slicehost only offers 64-bit.
AA Another extremely important factor is the location of the datacenter.
This is the geographic location where the new server will live.
Linode offers 4 different datacenters across the US and allows you to pick your datacenter when you sign up.
I’m not aware of a similar option from Slicehost or Webbynode.
The last important factor is customer service and support.
Slicehost provides a huge library of tutorials and instructions on getting your new server setup.
While these are excellent, they are also available publicly on the internet.
I purchased a Linode 360 plan and located my new server in Newark, NJ.
Oddly enough, I also get the occasional UK user, and Newark is handy for that, too.
My Linode is exceptionally fast in all aspects including bandwidth, memory, and computing power.

I highly recommend Linode VPS hosting.
That’s impressive!
