Flexibility of VPS
I can see from other entries in the forum that, whilst VPS is sold "shared/dedicated" the fact remains that all 20 (or so) VP accounts sit on a common box and share common resources. And that this does present areas of overlap.
One question therefore is to what extent VPS users can create their own server environments (code and configurables) or whether they must toe-the-line and stay with a single, base configuration? Jules in France |

Jules in France,
A VPS acts like a dedicated server. You will receive root access and can install most anything that you need to. As of now, the system has to be CentOS, and you can choose to have cPanel (or not). In particular, what are you thinking of using your VPS for?

Honestly, I tried VPS, didn't like it so much... mind you, it was a Plesk/CentOS combo, and both in my opinion, suck. You're better off going with a dedicated and choosing the OS you're most comfortable with.
