Hi,
I want to buy a VPS package for the first time. At "SITE 5" hosting package I have apporximetly 30.000 hit per day. (for the 20 web site total) and 50 GB bandwith per month.
I couldn't decide to buy which of these package that I must buy? 1- Linode - Linode 768 (http://www.linode.com) 2- Gandi (2 share) - https://www.gandi.net/hosting/vps
Is both of these packets eneough for my requirements? I am from Turkey so I want to use VPS from Europe. And The VPS must be reliable. If you know better than both you can advice another VPS...
thanks.

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksI would say Linode if your site doesn't get ddosed you will be fine. People who hate on Linode either just say it without any previous experience or there site got DDoS'ed and got null routed for a long time
Alternatively look through some hosts here, do some research on here and google for reviews and you will be fine and pay a lower price.

0 • Disagree Agree Thanks@Jack Do they really need it? Rather they work on the infrastructure and amazing control panel then getting own IP Space just because some techy people like a whois of the IP? Most users and businesses who Linode won't even look at it.

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksYes but still people like BuyVM can offer filtering for similar floods for just $3/mo.. Surely the networks that Linode are on they can offer to block Protocols to Linode for the amount of money that is spent...
BuyVM:
512MB RAM 1024MB Burst RAM 50GB Disk 2TB Bandwidth for $5.95/mo
Linode: 512MB RAM 20GB Disk 200GB Bandwidth for $19.95/mo

Hello,
If you have to pick between Linode and Gandi, then I'd go with Linode. That is from personal experience. I've only used Linode out of the 2, and they were great when I was with them. I've heard they are fine up until you get a DDoS attack.
There are some perfectly good LEB providers including @StormVZ (who's commented on this post), EaseVPS @Jacob, DotVPS - @Jack, VirtIO - @jhadley and more.
I'd pick one that fits your requirements, however also budget. I don't think you'll have a problem with getting an LEB provider to fit your budget. This is considering you were thinking of going with Linode who are classed as a premium provider.
The providers I have suggested are all in the UK apart from DotVPS which is in the Netherlands. There are lots of providers to choose from. I've not had personal experience with StormVZ (apart from in the beta, but from what i've heard, their service is good). VirtIO are slightly more expensive, but are SSD based.
Good luck to picking a provider who suits you best. :)
Hope this post helps you.

0 • Disagree Agree Thanks30,000 views per day? 50GB Monthly Bandwidth? The bandwidth consumption isn't bad, but those views. :S Yes, a VPS would be perfect for you, not a shared plan! Have you taken a look at http://6sync.com/

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksWell for 30,000 views a day you may want to stay away from most of the LEB providers, some of them are really good but some of them are horrible, if I was you I wouldn't risk the site's uptime to test how good they are
PS: For good LEBs around Europe have a look at Edis and Prometeus (not implying those not mentioned aren't good)

Good luck on your search OP

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksPrometeus is not far from Turkey, also fitvps from bulgaria, but any eu provider should do. However,30k hits mean more than 20 a minute, given the fact they tend to have peak hours, I would say 20 hits a second is not rare, up to 100 in rare spikes. In order to be sure the site performs best during those spikes, you should have at least 1 GB spare memory and a fast SSD storage. You can do with 1 GB in total with a light panel included (i presume 50 sites are not administered manually with conf files and they might have mail etc), but it may lag and some providers might treat you as abuser if the sites are heavy, for example, the likes of Drupal will not do well in 256 with only a visitor or two... And that is only one site. I suggest you get a 1 GB pland and grow from there, as long as you have SSD or SSED cached plans, it should be fine even for heavier sites. Add one gb if you have clamav and spamassasin and the mail is pretty busy. M

0 • Disagree Agree Thanks@ispanak I would suggest to use DigitalOcean(https://www.digitalocean.com/). They have servers in New York and Amsterdam. I have a 512 MB server with them and I'm satisfied. Drives are SSD. They have automatic back up/snapshot option free of charge. And in case your site goes viral, you can spin up your server with just one click. And there is no bandwidth cap. I highly recommend them.

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksNope. In SolusVM you get VNC access to the emulated VGA, the only way you can do that in their panel is through the in-browser HTML5 console.
Also, judging from the smile faces and spelling errors please put the crack pipe down if you think I didn't know you could SSH into a VPS.
