    Namecheap VPS. Anyone from here using them?

    Anyone use them? care to share a link to a site hosted there?

    Thinking about setting up a new Wordpress farm, but need to try a new host for this project.

    Do any of you use their reseller or VPS plans? would you care to share a link? I will sign up under you, if you provide me with a example of a site you host on their server.

      I started using Digital Ocean (in my sig) for new projects, and it's pretty awesome. Don't let the $5 price fool you they haven't let me down yet... I use amerinoc as well, which has been rock solid. Oh, and OVH for dedicated servers.

        Any chance of you sharing a link to a site hosted there?

          Ahh, sorry I need to learn to read one of these days

          There's really nothing much on it yet it's a newer project, just starting a wordpress blog with all pornstar names I can find. I have to work on adding sponsors content next.

          You can see how fast it loads though.

            Thank you
            The ping time is just below 200ms from Europe, but the load time is really fine. Looks good so far.

            Want to compare it with a namecheap vps, before I deside, but I will sign up under you

              NameCheap don't allow adult on shared hosting - I doubt they will on VPS either - Digital Ocean are great...
              Yay - I found the edit sig option!..

                  The VPS servers are really nice, I started with digital ocean for a mainstream project which has 100 million domain names and IP addresses in a mySQL database so I can run queries, and it runs quite fast with the SSD. I've now moved the site to a dedicated box with 32 GB of ram at OVH, but digital ocean was great to get things up and going.

                    was the MySQL local on the VPS, or in a separate central serverfarm, as some do?

                        I assume it was on the local machine, but I don't know for sure. I connected to mySQL through localhost, but they could have some creative stuff going on redirecting it to another box. Queries were pretty quick even on 100 million records and 6 Gigabyte DB. About 1 min 30 seconds searching a non-indexed table. Now I have it down to milliseconds all indexed in 32 GB ram on a dedicated box at ovh... love VPS machines for getting things up and going though, quick and easy to re-install the OS many times if you mess it up.

                          I would give namecheap vps a try if I needed vps for non-adult
