A word of caution: ((vps == real_server) === false ) === true
in particular when trying to scale large amounts of ram or processing power, the overhead of being within a vps system tends to take a toll, in particular with memory and virtual memory usage. SO if you have a memory-intensive server-side application (e.g. php5,serializing strings, etc.) be careful about choosing vps versus dedicated servers. Dedicated servers can be had for reasonable amounts of money from iWeb.ca rackspace.com and while a dedicate server is almost always going to be much more expensive (99 versus 30/month) than the virtual private server, if scaleability is an issue, dedicated remains the best option - in my experience... --- also there are certain levels of flexibility still not achieved by private servers in terms of customizing software (for instance, if you want to run FUSE on a private server, it's almost always impossible), or if you run software that binds to a mac address on your ethernet card, ... So - buyer beware. In this world you still get what you pay for. Robbie Lindauer On Jan 3, 2008, at 9:49 PM, Samuel Agesilas wrote: > Hello all, > > If I may chime in with my two pence.
