Changes

Although I am somewhat of a new user to the VPS world I thought I'd write a short article giving an overview of why use VPS instead of dedicated servers for those of you who are involved in the hosting business or people thinking about leasing a VPS server. Here I will address misconceptions I had about VPS and talk about how my perspective on VPS is changing.

Like many of you when I first heard of the idea of VPS I pictured it is some small lame server that is sold to 12 year olds trying to start hosting companies on the cheap. It had never quite caught my attention until I decided I needed a remote name server and all I needed was enough of a server to run bind, but didn't want to by a dedicated box just to do that. So I got a VPS based on Virtuozzo for $80/year and it worked great.
