A descent VPS should be OK if you are not converting or hosting video...

You can upgrade the one in my sig for example to 96GB Ram and 24 CPUs.....

I have asked for more clarity on the issue - I use them myself and they are great so its important to me as well...

BTW - They only offer $10 for a referral - Not 100's like some others - I don't recommend them to get rich - I really do think it's a great host.....

Lets hope they can sort it out...

I am promoting you on a webmaster forum - This post by Digital Ocean was pointed out to me by another member...

https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...-adult-hosting

I have said I would look into it - Can I say with certainty that Adult is OK?....

Sorry to be a pain - However, it is an important issue for some webmasters obviously...

Thanks again

Damain

I have done a couple of setups - I always use WebMin - It installs everything you need and sets it up for you pretty much - You can tweak the settings in WebMin itself - http://www.webmin.com/rpm.html.....

The DNS setup is very straightforward from the DO dashboard...

Edit: That's with Cent BTW - I would recommend you use it.....

I use 6.4 (64bit) - If you are happier with Ubuntu then the WebMin instructions are here - http://www.webmin.com/deb.html.....

I see they have a new option under applications to install Ubuntu with WP ready to go - I have not tried it so can't comment...

Adult is fine on DigitalOcean, I was specifically told by the CEO when I was looking to switch VPS providers.

Ideally they didn't want to do adult because of the traffic it brings and the fact that at that time they gave unmetered bandwidth to all their droplets, so a popular adult site could really hurt their business... I mean, imagine hosting a 150,000 visitor a day tube site on a $5/mo VPS... You'd be raping them.

But now they are metering the bandwidth so they allow adult.

Be wary of a guy who seeks "fake tube sites".

Lichen is an apparent liar and internet troll.

Take a 2 GB+ VPS and upgrade it as it grows for maximum performance. Eventually upgrade to a dedicated server if it starts lagging. If you have the choice, go for Xen instead of the more common OpenVZ, it has dedicated resources and swap space, so your processes do not get killed if you go over your memory allocation. Nothing is more annoying than a segfault or an error when encoding a video.

We offer both virtualization methods and can up- and downgrade you the same day at XenLayer.com and would be happy to set you up.

I just want to host blogs there, would they be good for 10 dollars a month?

Looks good but like you, I quite don't understand how it works.

You've not given enough information for anyone to make any recommendations. How much traffic? What are the scripts like? PHP/MySQL? Are you going to be doing any server-side encoding? Do you need managed or unmanaged?
