Introduction to US VPS.NET - Professional VPS Service Provider of UK2.NET

VPS.net Overview This blog doesn't use a lot of resources, so having it generate only 6k to 8k daily pageviews on a VPS is probably a bit overkill, but I really don't like shared hosting and would like to have more control over my site over the box. I will also be adding a number of additional sites to this positioning system in the coming months.
Originally I had a dedicated server hosted in Auckland, but it was generating about 20GB of international traffic per month and it was cost too high to host from Auckland. Moving to VPS.net means I now pay less overall with a server here than just a VPS with a server here.
VPS.net's service The way their service works is you choose the number of nodes you want and are billed accordingly. You can choose to add (or remove) additional nodes at any time, making it easy to expand your virtual hardware at any time.
Each node has a dedicated CPU, 256MB of memory, 10GB of storage and 250GB of bandwidth at 0.4Ghz. If you buy one node it's $20 per month, two nodes are $38 per month; three nodes are $54 and so on; that is, it gets cheaper per node as you buy more.
You buy some nodes and then create a new VPS, and can choose whether to host it in the US or Europe.
They also just added a way to add only $10 per additional 25GB of disk space per month.
Quick Review As of the time of this posting I have been a VPS.net customer for 36 days. You go to the VPS.net website, move the slider to the number of nodes you want, enter a few details including payment (credit card or use PayPal with them directly) and within minutes you have a working VPS ready to go. Perfect. quick. Simple.
You need to know how to run a command line in Linux to use VPS.net so it is more suitable for someone with some experience running servers. The base OS image is pretty bare-bones, so you will need to install a web server, database server, or whatever else you want to run on the box.
A VPS provider I used before in New Zealand would often reboot their VPS once a week for system maintenance and there would be times when my virtual server could be down for as much as 1 hour overnight which was not ideal. With VPS.net it has been up all the time and there has never been any downtime.
As well as being able to expand (or shrink) the VPS at any time, there's also a virtual console for running Web browsers, although I've found it only really works in Internet Explorer. While you can use SSH to connect to this console it can be helpful to access VMs for use if you've made some of your own favorite firewalls silly out of the box.
So far I am a very happy VPS.net customer and have yet to be contacted, for any reason at their support department.
