How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?




So, we used linode.com for a while, and that was awesome, but I need my own virtual server now, and the problem with linode is that you had to install everything from scratch.

I'd like a server I can get my hands on with a default installation of everything necessary, the ability to use root and all that (that said, I'd prefer linux... though I have experience with windows server, just don't prefer it for my webhosting), and any kind of decent management tool online.

I don't want to spend more than or a month on that, and that is super important.

If I can't get a good VPS, what is a good site for hosting that isn't GoDaddy? I've only used GoDaddy, client's servers, or my current webserver on linode.

Thanks everyone!

I have used both Amazon Clouds and Rackspace Clouds and like both of them. I have noticed Rackspace seems to be more inexpensive and its not as complex. Amazon AWS has more features but a steeper learning curve, but with the free tier the learning curve could be worth the effort. I use Rackspace more for my quick testing, The Centos images are quite easy to use and you can have a full LAMP Stack webserver up in 10 min or less.

Linode offers "stacks" with specific set of software installed and configured to get you going quickly. It's quicker than doing it all manually.

Check if Amazon's cloud offerings suit your requirement.

As part of AWS’s Free Usage Tier, new AWS customers can get started with Amazon EC2 for free for the first 12 months.

You can use their monthly-cost estimation tool to see if it fits your budget
