Canada Is A Great Place For A Farm…. Of Blogs
Friday, January 23, 2009 16:46So although my last post about different VPS services was a great starting point if your shopping around for some sort of general hosting solution, but didn’t really get me what I was looking for. Namely someplace I could have a VPS and get different class-c ips on a good system, at a good price, without much hassle. After all why do you need a technical reason to give me another class-c ip when I’m willing to pay for it?
You see the major issues is getting different class-c ips, it shouldn’t be that much of an issue. Most VPS providers will not take SEO reasons as a good enough reason to issue you more ip’s – they want “technical” reasons. Piss on that, I’ll take my business elseware.
So I sent out an email to the VPS services I actually wanted to use, but no paydirt. So kept looking, and who comes to the rescue?…. CANADA!
The site is VPSVille.ca. Shot support and e-mail asking if SEO reasons where enough to get extra IPs. They replied back with: “The usual reasons are seo but we also take into account the number of ips and what plan you’re on.” So that’s the most encouraging answer I could expect.
Prices are pretty good, for the Metropolis it’s a little less than $40 USD and you get backups! They guarantee 100% uptime not 99.9%. They offer all the latest versions of the most popular Linux distributions – unlike other places. The kicker, extra ips cost you nothing!
Heck start with the city (around $23-$24 USD) and build your way to an empire. Go Canada!
Happy money making.

Do you just tell them to use a different IP address per URL? Is it easy to implement in their interface?
Regardless, this is HOTNESS!

Feel free to post your affiliate link and I might be joining if my current host doesn’t give me more IPs (they have refused in the past).

They don’t seem to have an aff program, not that big of a deal. I’d rather see you get a good deal than see me get paid. Just use it and don’t question why, ya know.

They also have a data center in London, which is great for living in Europe. The exchange rate from GBP to my currency is even better than Canadian Dollars
However the VPS solutions seems to require Unix skills from you? The cPanel solutions are way more expensive.
Can you manage a Unix server from a shell? I can’t

@Max, I could running Ubuntu without too many problems.
You are correct when you say that the cPanel solutions are more expensive, because they have to pay for licenses for cPanel – which sucks.
There is a free panel software out there, I forget what it’s called though.
In fact if you really want to learn to manage your own server I suggest you install a Linux distribution on your computer and use it as your main desktop. You can pick up something like Ubuntu in a relatively small amount of time IMHO.
