VPS specs and Prosper202

There is a reason and that is Beyond VPS are faster in redirects also they do specialize in providing Hosting for Tracking solutions so in case you run into some problem you can open a ticket and they will fix all problems for you about packages check this out http://beyondhosting.net/Virtual-Pri...x-VPS-Hosting/

I have seen beyond come highly recommended from many people. Their pricing doesn't work for me yet, but I will keep them in mind.

You linked to a place that simply promotes Beyond hosting and a coupon code.

I'm looking for a bit of technical detail as to the specs for a VPS that should result is accurate tracking and quick redirects.

For example, should a single core VPS node with 768mb ram and 60gb storage be enough for Prosper202 to perform well?

Thanks

Really it depends on the amount of traffic you plan on running through it.. to start an entry level plan should be ok (depending on the provider)

What is your budget? I wouldn't recommend running it shared hosting, especially if the web host claims "unlimited". It can be run on any VPS, not just theirs. It appears Beyond uses it as a marketing point.

I'm running it shared now on BlueHost and I'm losing too many clicks. I like BlueHost, but not for Prosper202.

I'm thinking I should be able to get away at $50 to $60 for a basic VPS package.

Servint.net has an offer in my price range, and I've seen a couple of Warriors speak highly of them.

I only have a few active campaigns running through Prosper202. My hope is that I can scale this up to 30 campaigns or so without an expensive VPS package.

I'm thinking I should go with managed. I'm an ex-IT consultant, but my skills are rusty, and my certifications were in Windows NT and Windows 95.

But don't jump to conclusions! I'm only 36.

Yes, cPanel and I think LightSpeed instead of Apache.

A managed VPS is not necessary. I am sure Beyond has great service, but their prices are also high in my personal opinion.

Also, with any server your PHP handler can make a difference. For example, SuPHP is often the default for security reasons but is not the quickest. This can easily be changed.

Search around, you will find a good deal!

Servint has managed VPS for $50/mo and a Litespeed VPS license is $14/mo. I don't know about the PHP handler, but my understanding is that PHP performance improves substantially with Litespeed over Apache, yes?

You should also check out Wiredtree for a managed VPS 1GB RAM with cPanel for $49/month and you can add Litespeed for an extra $12/month.

As you (and a lot of other people have noticed) shared hosting is usually a very bad option for hosting Prosper202.

VPS or Dedicated is the recommend option for multiple reasons.

At this point the only hosting company we have partnered with to provide Prosper202 hosting is BeyondHosting.

Disclaimer: Tracking202 is also an affiliate of BeyondHosting, commissions from hosting with them via our affiliate links help to pay bills, server expenses, and keep Prosper202 updated and free for all of you.

I'm 100% sure if you are just comparing on price you will find lot's of of VPS and dedicated solutions that are cheaper.

But at this point I'd say they are the only Hosting company with extensive technical knowledge of Prosper202 from a hosting point of view. So when you need something fixed quickly, chances a very high that they can get it fixed quickly. The current alternative is to fix it yourself, post in forums, or pay $250 an hour for support directly from me.

If you want to go with you own hosting I'd say look into BeyondHosting. But there's an even better option that not everyone knows about yet.

That's because it's been in a extended pre-launch. But we also have a paid highly scalable cloud based solution. I'll tell you now that it's a no brainer for almost every current Prosper202 user.

It's the most updated version of Prosper202, there's no need to install anything which means all you need to know how to do is market. Upgrades are pushed out to everyone instantly, so you always have the latest and greatest everything. Plus the most important part of it all is that it comes with our proprietary BlazerCache Optimized Redirect Technology enabled. Which means redirects are lightning fast.

To wrap things up here's my view of your options to consider and take in descending order

1. Our new hosting Tracking202
2. BeyondHosting: VPS or dedicated
3. VPS or dedicated with another host
4. Don't run any campaigns
5. Shared hosting

I know you've probably already picked a VPS by now, but one key feature to look for is a SSD aka Solid State Drive.

It is a solid disk drive, which operates extremely fast compared to standard multi-piece drives.

servage.net has started selling them from €13.99
I am on a shared hosting account with them and have been since 2008 and find them brilliant

They operate a TON faster, and not all VPSes have them.

I just got a SSD in my new MacBook, things load so much faster. I could never go back!
