q9c9p 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2011 Hello,I register on KS and on xisto because I think is a good idea to get hosting in exchange of "knowledge".Till now I think I did not earn enough to get a web hosting but thinking again I thought I would prefer to get a VPS ( virtual machine ) to run my stuff/projects because a friend handed me a hosting space for free to run my blog.I thought to pay some by cash and some by mycent, but my question is if xisto provide VPS's and if so what kind, vmware? kvm? xen? what? and what are the restrictions, in bandwidth, disk space and computing units? and how much would it cost per year?I do experimental media streaming so for bandwidth is an important issue, disk space is less of an issue, but still if I have to use remote video-audio content band width would be double issue.In case, can anybody suggest me any cheap vps solution that could be xen, vmware or kvm?I hope I'm not in the wrong forum, if so please forgive me, I will repost it in the right forum.Thanks in advance,q9c9p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also planning on getting a VPS but that might take awhile given how many myCents I have currently. uufffff, they are expensive...sorry to all the xisto people eh, is just an opinion, I'm not saying you are bad people for making a vps so expensive...pity they don't say what kind of technology they use...I'll try opening a ticket to ask but is seems to expensive for my pocket, I thought to spend a max of 200 euro/year for vps,domain and ssl certificates...well then...I'll keep my eye open for something else and keep running my backup streams out of my adsl line.

I personally have found several. Of course, you'll have to read the reviews to make sure that the service is reliable. But other than that, you should be ok. Remember, Google is your friend.

anwiii 17 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 the vps packages offered by Xisto - Web Hosting is the most competitive priced packages. more so than the webhosting itself or dedicated server. i WOULD suggest to google what the above poster recomended. when you're looking at spending $250, i ALWAYS do my research. just make sure it's a company that has been around a while and wont go out of business an the quality is there. you know the old saying...."you get what you pay for". good luck in your search. hope ya don't get scammed if someone is offering a vps to ya for less than $8.50 a month($100 a year is what you quoted)!

danielhep 1 Report post Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) I'm currently hosted with ******, and they're great. Xen VPS, cheap, but very little disk space, but you can try asking for more when you need it, the guy is very friendly. Just don't go with Nordic; they are terrible. Just look at the reviews. Also, if you're getting something 5 years in advance, you need to make sure it has a good return policy. Oh, and this is my first post here. I hope I'm not breaking any rules by saying this other company's name, it IS related to the topic. Good luck!EDIT:After looking around, it looks like I'm not supposed to post the name of them. Could someone tell me if I'm wrong and I actually can post it? Edited July 14, 2011 by danielhep (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
