Parasane is a whole company, not just me. I'm just the one who
started it back in 2000.... but I wouldn't set you up on a VPS anyway.
I began to refuse to sell those in the last few months because
they're more of a scam than anything. "Hey, let's charge the client
the same amount as a fully-dedicated server - if not more - but put
them on a shared box with limited resources."
Yes, the host makes more money --- a LOT more money --- on the
sale of VPS systems, especially when you stack them up in copious
amounts like people do. I can charge one customer what I pay for the
whole server, another customer what the license fees are for the
software, and the remaining eighteen are profit.... but the problem is
that *I* know they're getting crap service.
There are a few decent providers who do VPS stuff though.
Surprisingly (and much to my chagrin) is that GoDaddy is one of them.
