Blogging for fun and profit

Like me, hundred of persons were wasting their money with 10 or 20 different shared hosting accounts at godaddy.
Once one figures out how much a VPS – Virtual Private Server (or VDS – Virtual Dedicated Server) costs, the following question arise: why am I paying $100 per month for 20 different shared hosting accounts when I can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server for a cheap price?!?

The decision involves an analysis of dedicated server pros and cons.

VDS pro:
- unlimited website hosting (just realize how to use Apache Virtual Hosts – VHosts)
- very large bandwidth
- very large disk space
- ssh, ftp, mysql, phpmyadmin, … access
- unlimited root access
- no bad neighbours (spam, casino online or porn sites)

VDS cons:
- you must achieve security yourself
- you are responsible about all aspects of your server

I decided to switch from shared hosting to VDS and I am very happy with it!
