For those still comparing VPS options, I figured I’d mention a service I’ve had a smooth experience with. At hostpro.com, the VPS performance has been top-tier, and I especially like that they include automatic daily backups without needing to set up anything manually. That alone has saved me a few headaches after some update hiccups. Their support staff is always online and willing to dive into issues at any time—no waiting till morning or paying for premium tickets. They’ve got more than just VPS too, so if someone’s project outgrows shared hosting or moves into something bigger, it’s an easy upgrade. Personally, I’ve used both shared and VPS with them depending on the client’s needs. Their documentation is clear, but the human support is what really impressed me.
