Cheap VPS for file hosting?
« on: January 23, 2011, 01:43:34 PM »
I'm looking for a cheap VPS for file hosting, which means it will need a large disc space (~30GB) and bandwidth (300~500GB).

Preferably the RAM would be 512, but >256 would be good enough.

Preferably hosted in north america.

cost estimate is 60~80 CAD per year.

Any ideas?

Let's be realistic, you're NEVER going to find a VPS that offers that for that much per YEAR. Maybe per month.

Found one. I'm looking at alternatives now. Inportb is telling to go for it though.

A few years ago I bought a cheap as chips VPS for a private proxy.

The company I used was Hostlatch but when I Googled them it seems they have rebranded the the prices are a  little higher.

@krissyafc: I think CDDHosting was recommending a package that fits (or used to fit) OP's price and technical specifications. CDDHosting is indeed in the VPS business, but it's probably more "premium" service than what OP wants. I don't call newb on that; I applaud the courtesy.

So, doesn't matter how premium it is, you pitch it differently.

It's business. You always try to get your way.

Not if you are trying to build trust.

Actually I've even had banks recommend another bank over there own before, trust in business is far more important unless yo a fly by night scammer. If people trust you, they'll look to do business with you in the future!
