Alright, so I need a new host. I've currently got zensix, and it's alright, but it's pretty damn slow a lot of the time (and its pretty much down right now).

I'm thinking about a VPS. Any suggestions? I really don't need much storage. I'm currently hosting 4-6 sites depending on the day (I flip some occasionally), one of which gets decent traffic (~200 UV's/day, ~350 PV's/day), and the rest get pretty weak traffic. What do you think I need? I want something fast, and more importantly, reliable.

Thanks

What server are you on that's pretty much down? All of the shared servers are well under load right now.

ZenSix Hosting - Server Status

However, the cPanel servers are in DimeNOC and they are a hell of a lot slower than the DirectAdmin servers. If you're on a cPanel server and want to move, just submit a ticket.

* The only reason we even still have the cPanel option available is because we need to fill the last server.
 
aaaand I'm guessing you're probably on server2? Now it is overloaded a bit.

So here's the deal, we've been pretty screwed by DimeNOC and some of the deals they made us last year. Anyway, I don't want to go in to details, but if you want off server2, I'll give you a 50% discount for the first month of a VPS if you want to test it out. We're publicly sold out, but I can fit you in. If you want one of the $59.99/year DirectAdmin "Perfectly Balanced" plans, I'll give you the first year for $15.

Any complaints that we have ever had in the past has always been the direct result of something that DimeNOC did. But I know that in the end it doesn't matter what DimeNOC does, because we're the ones who are ultimately responsible.
 
Whoa whoa whoa...

No way you need a VPS for 250 uv/day. It is not your 250 uv/day making your site slow right now, it's just the slow server. Just get a shared host (my hostgator affiliate link would be nice :D), upgrade to a VPS when you actually need one.
 
If you're not technically incompetent then Slicehost and Linode would be good to look into.

Doubtful he's looking for unmanaged. For managed I'd recommend wiredtree.com. Great support. It's not as easy to use as say hostgator but once you get use to it it's great.

However like someone said, with that few visitors hit up hostgator, it's more than enough for the traffic you have.
 
i have one of the zensix vps plans and it's screaming fast. i compare it to another vps that has similar specs from another hosting provider - and the price and speed of the z6 vps is significantly better.
