I run a small Fan community / forum that I am looking to move to a VPS server as these are a little cheaper than Dedicated
I have a couple of questions & wondered if anyone could assist?
I need a Control panel as I have had experience with Plesk & Cpanel & do not have any SSH experience whatsoever
I see Cpanel offered in some VPS offers, Would this include things like Fantastico etc?
Would I better suited to a Managed or Unmanaged account? I assume seeing I have no SSH knowledge Managed account would be better
I had looked at a site called nameway dot com & like the look of their VPS offer but would love to hear other peoples thoughts on them (I haven't posted enough to post a url so site is
www dot nameway dot com/resellers-hosting.htm )
If I were to go unamanaged or part managed if there is such a thing, would this mean I would have to upload things like apache for php, mysql etc? or would this still be standard in an unmanaged account if a cpanel or control panel is offered?
These are just a couple of questions I need answers to, to help me understand where to go from here
Oh & I am not necessarily looking for reseller hosting, I only want 2-3 gig (maybe more in the future) as my members create fan videos (10 meg) which I allow them to store in their own galleries, don't need live streaming as the vids can be downloaded before viewing but live streaming sound nice though *lol*
Thanks in advance.
