SitiosHispanos.Com, VPS actually in Atlanta, USA
Server Evolution, So far so good, fast connection and completely stable. Only offers Linux
VPSLand, The positive comments on this board are ALL from VPSland employees doing damage control. Try to call them. Beware of any hosting company that does not have a phone number. Many are doing business out of their home or very small office with no one managing the network. The better companies will have a phone number and live person so that you trouble shoot problems. They have huge data centers with around the clock monitoring.
VPSLand, Vpsland is the worst hosting company by far. I used 5 in the last 10 years. The are always down and oversell their bandwidth. You will NEVER be able to talk to a live person. Please do a search on VPSLAND complaints and VPSland sucks..........you'll see. These guys are joke. The neighbors 13 year old can manage a more reliable server from his room.
ZZ Servers, I just finished moving my system and data to the new vServer at ZZ Servers. Thanks for the great support, everything is working really fine so far. And even with 5700 miles between us, it is very fast, you won't believe it! Downloads are at more than 900 K/s. Thanks for the great support.
We're Back!
We've migrated from unixshell/tektonic to our new provider. During the time we've also migrated the database over to MySQL from Postgres, which means it should be more maintainable. All site functions are not migrated yet, but they will slowly be revived!
Thanks for everybodies patience

What is VPS?
Virtual private servers or Virtual dedicated servers are a form of virtualization that split a single physical server into multiple virtual servers. The practice of partitioning a single server so that it appears as multiple servers has long been common practice in mainframe computers, but has seen a resurgence lately with the development of software and technologies such as VMware, Xen, FreeBSD Jail, User-mode Linux, Linux-VServer, FreeVPS, OpenVZ, and Virtuozzo.
The benefits of VPS Hosting are many:
- You have root access to the server
- Install any application you want, ROR, PHP, Tomcat, Oracle...
- Have just about any flavour of linux, Debian, Suse, Redhat...
- Some virtualization software lets you use different flavours of Windows
- Guaranteed uptime with most suppliers
What is Xen?
Xen is an open source virtual machine monitor, developed by the University of Cambridge and now XenSource. It is intended to run up to 100 full featured OSs on a single computer. Operating systems must be explicitly modified ("ported") to run on Xen (although compatibility is maintained for user applications). This enables Xen to achieve high performance virtualization without special hardware support.
What is Virtuozzo?
Virtuozzo is a proprietary operating system virtualization product produced by SWsoft, Inc. A version that supports Linux has been available since 2001; a version that supports Microsoft Windows became available in 2005.
Note: We don't index quite a few providers who use Virtuozzo as they do not specify guaranteed RAM (not burst RAM) on their hosting plans. Having said that, guaranteed is not necessarily guaranteed because Virtuozzo services (unlike Xen) can be oversold.
