@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.

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

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.

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).

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!
