Finally upgraded to a Dedicated Server!

After crashing my VPS from Liquid Web a few times where I sent 20,000+ clicks daily, I decided to finally bite the bullet and invest in a dedicated server. After talking to the Sales and Technical Support Team over at Liquid Web we decided it would be best to go with their Professional Series. The exact specs of my server are below. I don’t think it’s a bad deal for $299/month.

Processor: Dual Xeon E5504 Quad Core (Gainstown) (2.0GHz/core)
Memory: 2GB DDR RAM
Hd1: 250GB 7200RPM SATA / 8MB Cache
Hd2: 250GB 7200RPM SATA / 8MB Cache
OS: Linux – CentOS 5 (+64 Bit)
Bandwidth: 8000GB Monthly Transfer (4000 in + 4000 out)

The only thing that worries me is the 2 gigabytes of memory. If I ever have problems with this server I will definitely double that at the least.

I wonder how many clicks it will take to crash this server? Once I find out, I’ll let you all know!

A few months ago I murdered my shared hosting on HostGator by sending 10,000+ clicks to my Prosper202 install. Crashed my hosting and I decided I needed to get with the program and at least get a VPS. I finally decided to get one from LiquidWeb.

I went with their cheapest VPS and so far have had days where I sent 15,000 – 20,000 clicks to my Prosper202 install and only once have I crashed it. I know, I know. I’ll be upgrading to a Dedicated Server shortly. I just wanted to let everybody know that since signing up for my first VPS I had many questions. I was even going to their 24/7 Heroic Support Live Chat so often I got to know a few of the tech support guys! I felt like a complete newb. But, like they say, they have Heroic Support! They were always more than willing to help me with any questions I had and explained everything I had questions about.

I cannot say enough about these guys. If you ever need a VPS or Dedicated Server, look no further than LiquidWeb!

Need Shared Hosting? Choose HostGator!

Are you a noobie to affiliate marketing and need someone to host your first few websites? I suggest looking no further than HostGator. They have support available around the clock and have always helped me out when I needed them too. Plus, they’re CHEAP! I suggest starting out with the Baby plan. It’s only $7.95/month and you have unlimited domains, disk space and bandwidth. And you get a shared SSL to boot!

Maybe you just have a few sites you need hosted on a different IP and different nameserver. If this is the case, I still suggest you go with HostGator, but I would recommend choosing their Business plan as it comes with unlimited domains, disk space and bandwidth. Also included are a Dedicated SSL and IP. What more could you want for $12.95/month?
