Moving to new VPS provider

I have decided to move all of my sites from my current UK VPS at a2b2.com to a US VPS over in New York (reasons explained later on).

I decided to do this for many reasons, the main one being that I needed my VPS to be fully managed because I have very limited experience managing Linux servers so would ratherĀ  have a more experienced company do it that are there 24/7 and not 16/7 like I am (yes I really do get that much sleep). I moved from London to New York because I realised that most of my visitors come from the US/Canada and only a minority from the UK/Europe so decided to get a east coast provider to satisfy both demographics.

It was quite hard to choose a good provider but finally I went with Zone.net as my provider because I liked the look of their site as well as the great chat I had with one of their sales reps. I went with the VM400 plan because it has room for growth for all of my sites as well as the occasional spike in traffic (from heavygames etc).

I still highly recommend a2b2 as a provider but in my opinion they are more of a mid-class host and I wanted the mid to high class provider. I’m sure there are some people out there that wont agree with this statement but that life for you.

Ill diffidently post a review in a few months time to keep everyone updated.
