VPS.net - Experience using this VPS provider?
feconroses - November 12, 2009 - 01:11
Hey! i have been hosting my drupal site in ANhosting for 4 month now. Its a complex drupal site with tons of modules and heavily uses the database. Support is great but the page its too slow (it takes like 20-30 seconds for loading a page when you are logged-in).
Im now considering buying 1 node from VPS.net, try virtual private servers perfomance and increase nodes from there.
I was wondering, have any of you tried VPS.net with a complex drupal site? Whats your experience with this provider and its performance? Did it improved the site speed if you previously were on a shared hosting?Any advantages/disadvantages with this company? What about support?
My priority is that it NEEDS to be fast and have a good performance.
Thanks in advance!!
Really?
I am on ANhosting for a somewhat low-traffic but bulky site and do not have anywhere near that poor performance. You might pause a moment to see whether there's something that is dragging your site down.....

VPS.net
You only get 256MB of ram with a 1-node setup. You'll probably need at least 3 nodes to get good performance, but you might be able to squeak by with 2, if you're using something like Nginx instead of Apache.
You should definitely try to do some debugging/optimizing on your site first, though. Install the devel module and enable query logging, so you can find out what's causing the slow down.

vps.net is part of midphase (which now is uk2.net in the early of this year). This is a cloud product to replace their previous VPS solution. As I still hold an VPS account with them, in general, their product and service quite good.
As i don't know the traffic of your site, I think we can go with 1 node first, and probably can go for more node if it is not fast enough. A cloud solution should be able to scale your site very well.
