I am confident in my abilities. Like mentioned in the past, I crashed my Fedora Core home machine by simply resetting it.

Well Skip, I am definitely confident that you would do very well with a VPS.

She left out the fine print which reads "As long as David isn't advising you." lol

...and I've got experience breaking a VPS if you need help there.

With that said how could I go wrong.

Now to some budget juggling. I can afford it but I live to my own strict rules just to be safe. lol Keeping my self locked down from over spending.

Thanks ya for that Kayla

I've wondered how easy it is to move from reseller to VPS. I'm somewhat confident of my skills of general administration and security, but all this webstuff has many times been a bunch of gibberish when it comes to administration. That's my worry.

tch3: I moved from a reseller to VPS without any problems what so ever. Webstuff is the same - and the admin is light - in fact you don't have to do any given that it's managed just like any other plan at Surpass.

But you will love the control you have. I remember having to file two tickets in a row on my reseller because a couple of installs I did put the directory ownership to nobody and I had to get it changed - now I just log in and change it myself. Want to try a different webmail package - no problem - just install it. Gotta love it!

This is sounding better and better every day. With the post here I think I almost have convinced myself to make a budget exception for now and just shove it in. lol

I just feel like with the small web foot print I have that it will be like moving from a studio apartment into a mansion. hehehe

That in and of itself is almost worth it. Need to compare the VPS vs Dedicated.

What's the definition of "managed"?
