I have always recommended linode ( A XEN VPS hosting company) for you! Checkout my last 100 day uptime review here- http://www.ruchirablog.com/linode-xen-vps-review/

Trust me guys its amazing experience which I’m having with Linode. Today I hit the milestone of 365 days of uptime on the VPS which hosts this blog. Now I have 4 Linode 512 plans on their London Data Center and another one which runs the web site of the company which I work on is having 371 of uptime as of now.

371 days of uptime 1+ Years of Uptime with linode! Review

You can check my blogs uptime here - http://www.ruchirablog.com/uptime.php

My blog runs on Ubuntu 10.04LTS and Nginx is serving the requests, and my Linode never skipped a beat. And also the 2 VPS’s im having 1+ years of uptime are on different host boxes and its amazing.

You can find the network uptime graph of my blog by pingdom below

As you can see I only had 17 minutes of network downtime according to linode and longest downtime was 3 minutes. Do the math and you can find that I had about 99.9978% of network uptime while Linode promises us 99%.

I never had any problems with 4 of my VPS’s with linode and support is amazing and never took more than 10 minutes to answer any serious question.

And the exciting thing is its very hard to find a negative review about linode on the internet and even Linode got thousands of customers, I never able to find bad things like “I lost my data” on internet about linode.

Its the most amazing hosting experience I ever had in my life and I’ll give 10/10 marks for linode any day.

I have hosted on many places until now. Lessons learned and things changed. Early times I didnt had money to buy hosting account so went with

1. 000webhost

000webhost My hosting journey

Actually good alternative if you dont have money to buy paid hosting. I have hosted Ruchirablog there for about a month. Not bad for free hosting.

2. Dreamhost

aboutus green My hosting journey

On that times dreamhost had a promotion to give out a free domain and free hosting account for a year for $9.99 it was blessing for me and I have moved to dreamhost immediately. Believe me I n ever bothered to backup my data for whole year and dreamhost worked like a charm without giving nightmare of losing data. Read my 1 year review here.

3.Keyweb Germany

ag logo My hosting journey

Those times I have started proxy hosting business And bought my own 4GB RAM OpenVZ VPS and deployed Kloxo there and also moved this blog to that proxy hosting server. It was nice experience and the service was excellent.I have pushed 300GB a day with my proxyhosting biz.

4. BurstNET

burstnet My hosting journey

I was busy because of some brutal exams and decided to close out my proxyhosting business after sending out a notice to clients few months before closeout. Then I have got 512MB RAM openvz vps from burstnet to handle Ruchirablog and one of my proxy site got 2000 visitors a day. And I didnt had any problems with them you can read my review here

5. Hawkhost

hawkhost My hosting journey

Remember I said I got 2000 visitor a day proxysite? Proxy site traffic is very unreliable because when sites becomes famous they gets automatically blocked buy web filters of user end. So I lose that huge traffic after few months. And Exams was to start soon. So I have decided to move my blog to shared hosting server with backup solution with RAID so I can forgot the risk of monitoring vps servers. Stayed few months with hawkhost you can read my review here

6. Linode

3 My hosting journey

I got a sponsor for hosting this blog its www.net4ever.eu I have chosen linode because they have data centers in London which gives fast latency to my visitors from Asia and so far so great thanks to net4ever . Actually net4ever servers are great but I have choose linode because they have daily backup options so I dont need to make backups daily icon smile My hosting journey So far so great with linode. And Ill never move hosts again. Im very impressed with linode performance with XEN. And also I ll never move to openvz instead of xen.

Take my word for linode and if you got your mind to try linode use my referral code when you purchasing. You can get best performance on linode while helping me to get some credits. Order here

This blog is hosted on Dreamhost proudly. But for high traffic web sites shared hosting is not enough. I have proxy site www.hidedaddy.com which consumes lots of resources to run because high traffic. So hosting on VPS (Virtual Private Server) or in Dedicated server is must need. After trying loads of scammers in Digitalpoint (www.forums.digitalpoint.com) I took my decision to move to BurstNet www.burst.net VPS. They are in top position of providing dedicated servers and newly introduced VPS services for their customers. After reading reviews on webhostingtalk and digitalpoint (there were many bad reviews too) I decided to buy their cheapest package in start. You can find the packages here – https://www.burst.net/linvps.shtml . I got this package-

VPS PACKAGE #1
VPS Software: vePortal™ / OpenVZ™
CPU: 1000MHZ GUARANTEED
Memory: 512MB GUARANTEED
Disk Space: 20GB (RAID BASED CONFIG)
Bandwidth: 1000GB/MONTH
IP Addresses: 2
Management: BASIC MANAGED
DDOS Protection: CISCO™ GUARD
FREE SETUP $5.95/MONTH buynow BurstNet VPS Review

After ordering I got my VPS working within 24 hours. So I installed kloxo which is my favorite server administration tool and settled up sites on there. So now 2 months passed and I have to said that I didn’t had even 1 minute of downtime and my sites running speedy and smoothly than ever.

For price of shared hosting you can get better VPS. But you have to manage the VPS yourself unlike managed shared hosting plans.

So here is my rating about BurstNet VPS service-

  • Price- 10
  • Speed- 10
  • Worth- 10
  • Nodes- Brilliant (Quad Core)

Please note that this is not sponsered review or something like that. (BurstNEt paid me nothing for this review)
