I am now desperately looking for VPS or Semi-Dedicated server to host some of my websites because my Malaysia Webhosting company, Exabytes said that my website is taking up too much CPU resources. Their customer support emailed me yesterday. I will need upgrade to a semi-dedicated server or a dedicated server, but it is way above my budget. Previously I am only paying like RM200+ a year to host with them, but now it cost me RM209/month (if I paid in advance for 2 years).
There is some difference in VPS and Semi-Dedicated Server but I am hoping that I could get a VPS at a reasonable price, so that I am able to try out different background processor script, but I have no idea what I can do with it too.
My website is currently only using 25GB of its assigned 50GB bandwidth of shared hosting, but unfortunately CPU ussage is too large. I guess it is pretty impossible for a share hosting to reach 50GB bandwidth. Therefore 50GB of bandwidth would be sufficient with 1GB of diskspace (which I am currently using less than 500mb).
I have no experience and have not much idea about VPS and Semi-Dedicated Hosting. If anyone of you guys have some idea about good VPS or Semi-Dedicated Server at a reasonable price, please let me know. My website is mainly targeted for Malaysia Traffic, therefore, I will hope that it is loading quickly for people here.
Currently in my list of is Shinjiru (loads very quickly for Malaysian but website speed test is quite slow from US) and JaguarPCÂ (loads slower for Malaysia Website but speed test is fast from US). Any other suggestion will be much appreciated.
Do you really need VPS or semi dedicated server. The share hosting I am using has minimum 500GB monthly bandwidth and minimum 2GB space. The website is http://www.malserv.com. Server is in US but managed by a Malaysia. I paid via Maybank in RM. It start from USD15 / year to USD 45 /year.
I have used it since April 2008. So far so good.
wow..that is real cheap….space and cpu resources is two different thing…but it goes co-related
Wow…this malserv.com has 903 other sites hosted on the IP address 67.228.101.162
You can do a lookup using myIPneighbors.com
the price usually goes with the amount of the sites…..this is typical business
Wow.. 25GB disk usage? That is crazy. What you have been using on your hosting server? Why not try hostgator? I’m not so sure about Malaysian market. I’m using it for more than 2 years now and from Malaysia. But, most of my visitors are from US. I think it is ok. The download rate for VPS should be very fast. Plus, they give 75% discount for today only “black” coupon. Get a VPS or business account for 3 years would just cost you less than $100 / 3years. I would be happy if you sign up using my referral link http://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=reena2411
Atniz: thanks for the recomendation…riceblogger is currently hosted by hostgator actually. My Malaysia hosting company is the one that is exhausted of resources, therefore I am looking for another hosting that could load fast for Malaysia visitor because hostgator is not really fast for Malaysia visitor.
Have you tried sempoihosting.com? I heard it pretty cheap as you can choose the bandwidth that you need.
i also worry about my website currently, already reach very high visitor rate, and worry exabytes suspend me again, previously suspended before
but my earning at my website are not high, taking a vps will cost me a lot, seen like unable to cover from the earning
