I'll add my recommendation for KickAssVPS -- although I will also say that I maintain a client's dedicated server at Hosting.com/HostMySite, and the engineers there - one in particular - have been very helpful in tuning the JVM on that dedicated server.
As far as KickAss goes, one of the things I like (in addition to the reliability) is that they have a couple of very handy tools: first, you can manage DNS through a web interface, so if you add a site, you can manage the DNS yourself, without having to put in a support request. Second, if you use their shared SQL Server service (which has also been very reliable), they have a web-based tool that lets you backup and restore databases on your own, downloading the backup if you want. They of course do their own SQL backups. But for instance, if you're moving a client to your VPS who has an existing SQL server database, you just ask KAVPS to create the new database instance. Then, when you're ready to move, you just get a backup of the existing database and do the restore yourself. I also find this functionality helpful for getting backups of production databases to periodically refresh the versions on my dev server. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:333906 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
