That'd be committing the whole $120 to that one site, wouldn't it? Or the server is mine and could host all my sites on it? I know nothing of VPS. Good deal or bad, I don't know. Happy to learn. What exactly do they give you?
Right now I spend about $50 or $60 and I get about 15-20 sites hosted for me. Emails and Sql (though only 20M
) and all the other benefits.
Another $12 and I've got that one site covered for sql space if it continues to need it
Are there some specific advantages of having a VPS server that you think I could/should go for?
a VPS is like having your own computer. you can put as many sites/files as you want to up to the limits of the server space.
however, you then have to be able to manage it yourself. I don't think you are quite ready for that yet.
most hosting companies offer plans that include unlimited sites. what that means is that you can create add on domains.
that is what they mean by "sites" one domain name equals one "site".
so if you want to have mydomain.com for one website and myotherdomain.com for a different website you can do that.
for instance I have phpbbusers.com, cyberosis.net, phpbbace.com and a few other domain names. they are all different websites and are all hosted under my main domain name of cyberosis.com on my hosting account with my hosting company.
my main hosting account gives me unlimited emails, unlimited databases etc. all within my disk space package that I pay for.
by the way, this is the cheapest package that my host offers so it is very inexpensive.
