    I am thinking about getting a VPS for my clients because their drupal sites are exceeding their memory limit at time (32MB). I have tried optimizing, but nothing works. I don't have root access, so PHP APC cache is out. I plan on using Gate.coms's vps u100 plan. It gives me everything I need, with room to grow.

    I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with them in the past and any other recommendations. I am looking for a server with at least 250GB transfer, 25GB storage, root access, Plesk and 256MB RAM (I might settle for 128 if the price is good). I also don't want to pay more than $30 per month.

    Also, any tips on how to transfer Drupal sites between hosts?

    The thing that is driving the price up is the root access. I dont know, but bluehost gives you an option of getting ssh. But you have to send your id in.

    The best place is WHT for asking the best value for money.

    I use a few different providers; I'm not gonna list them here (as they are for clients), but they can all be found on WHT.

    SSH is great but it doesn't necessarily give you root access.

    I will look into WHT.
