Recommended VPS

[Jonathan.Skeens]

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good VPS service? Would like to include IPs and unlimited bandwidth.
Thanks

I have been using BlackBox Windows VPS I do not know if they are the best as I haven't tried any others recently but they seem fast for my testing. I can run multiple instances at 50 threads each without it breaking a sweat, I have yet to do a pressure test on it.

Do you know if they sell additional IP proxies?

I think so but you would be better looking on their website or asking them to get a correct answer.

I just tried out 3 different VPS's (Jim, thanks again for resetting my machine list several times!) Here are the ones I tried and what I thought:

Common specs:
All were Windows VPS running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
NHSEO was run with 50 threads, 12 accounts, 50 super fast private proxies
NHIndexer was used with 50 threads with a posting limit of 400
NHPinger was used with 50 threads
Captcha Sniper X3 was used with all captchas selected


Nukevps.com I tried their "Plus" plan here are the specs:
3 CPU cores (no speed listed)
3GB RAM
10GB HD
Data Transfer *Unmetered*
$49 @ month USD

This ran NHSEO o.k. but, I continually had dropped connections which forced me to reboot the VPS all the time, the support is slow but, really good once they get to you.

Poweruphosting.com I tried their "Hyper V Plus" plan here are the specs:
2 CPU Cores (no speed listed)
2GB RAM
70GB HD
Unlimited Bandwidth
1 Dedicated IP
1 GPS Network Connection
Reg. $99 - I used a coupon code and snagged it for $59 @month USD

This was VERY laggy. So much so that I couldn't hardly get the software even installed. This somewhat surprised me as I found great reviews for them but, YMMV

host-stage.net I tried their "Level 4" plan here are the specs:
2 CPU Cores 7.40Ghz
2GB RAM
150GB HD
1 Dedicated IP
1 GPS Network Connection
Unlimited bandwidth
$44 @ month!

This was AMAZING! Even though this VPS is in France and I'm in the U.S.A the interface is fast, reliable and hasn't booted me out in over 36 hours! It is currently (and has been running) NHSEO, NHIndexer, NHPinger, SENukeXcr, GSA Search Engine Ranker, GSA Indexer, Captcha SniperX3 and Captcha Breaker all with out a flaw and all running 50 threads with those same 50 super fast proxies! I liked this one so much that I order a level 5 plan from them to run my clients sites on. So, the least expensive one won this time. It also has the most HD space and what seems to be the fastest CPU.

Now, I am not discounting the other players here. I am just stating my own experience with them. They all were very cordial about refunding my money when I was not satisfied so no matter which one you were to chose, you can rest assured your experience will be a good one.

I can't say that I have looked into any of these providers in the past to be honest but thanks a lot for your review of them. I would love more posts like this as what server is good is one of those questions that gets asked quite regularly and I have only played around with a few VPS' with NHSEO.

No problem Jimbobo, it's the least I could do for you having to reset my machine list so many times Make it a sticky and I'll update it as I try new vendors out. I am also considering trying a dedicated server to see how much I can get out of NHSEO and the rest of my software...

*UPDATE*

Host-stage.net is FREAKING AWESOME! I sent them a support ticket just asking if my VPS's seemed to be fairly laggy because I ended up getting a Level 5 after loving the Level 4 (so now I have 2 VPS's from them) and the Level 5 seemed to be running slower than the level 4?!!?

They sent me an email back saying they had been monitoring the performance of the VPS's and agreed they should run better and that they felt the main issue was the HD read/write speeds so....

They're upgrading to SSD's for FREE! What a great company! Highly recommend!


**Unfortunately, that may mean you'll have to reset my machine lists again...

I have to put my two cents in for host-stage.net as well. Their prices are good and their customer service is excellent.
