Looking for New Server
Monday, July 11th, 2005 at 1:05 pm in My LifeI’ve just chatted with my friend liewcf and alang for suggestion on cheap hosting plan and affordable reseller account.
I need a reseller account because i want to make more site to satisfy myself because thats my hobby. But my current hosting company doesn’t allow me to do that because my hosting plan only allows 1 domain.
From my chat with Alang, he encourage me to get a VPS. Forgive my noobness but i was like VPS? What is that? Can eat? Then he further explains to me in details. VPS stands for Virtual Private Server, He told me that VPS is like getting your own server, just smaller. But what is the difference between VPS and sharing? He told me with VPS, you got your fair amount of resources so no matter other account use lot of resources, it won’t affect yours. Other benefits of VPS is that you get access to the root server and VPS is much more than reseller. If you have VPS, you also can offer someone to do reseller for you.
But one thing concern me is that VPS is kinda costly. See it for yourself here: VPS hosting. Well for those who have alot of website that need to be hosted then they will consider this cheap. But i got like 4 or 5 sites only, do i need it? Maybe i will look for a cheaper reseller account first and when i have more sites then i would definately go for VPS.

Kah Soon, this might be a bit late… but have you gotten your hosting plans already? If not, are you interested in my hosting plan ( Check out here)? It’s modular based (meaning you can choose as many modules as you like according to your needs, starting from only USD2/year.
Let me know if you’re interested, ok?

I have just contacted hive.com.my and their hosting plans seems good. it works like reseller account just that there is limited addon domain. You can have 5 different website hosted on one package (for hive-webbit)…and is RM110/year ….very cheap….but don’t know its service and server uptime. Anyone using them? please give advice!
Kahsoon: If you are looking for space maybe hive-queengigs is good 3GB space 300GB bandwidth host 20domain RM340/year and free one domain for annual billing.
p/s I am not promoting this but just think that monetary side, it seems pretty worth it. but there is other things like service and server spec and stuff to be taken into consideration.
