virtualization - Technical issues when switching to an unmanaged Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting provider? -
i'm considering moving number of small client sites unmanaged vps hosting provider. haven't decided 1 yet, understanding they'll give me base os install (i'd prefer debian or ubuntu), ip address, root account, ssh, , that's it.
ideally, create complete vm image of configured setup , ship bits provider. has had experience this? i've seen jeff talk in coding horror. i'm not sure if experience typical. suppose depends on type of vm server used host.
also, such hosts provide reverse-dns? that's kinda useful sites send out e-mails. know gmail tends bounce originating server without it.
finally, i'd need multiple ip addresses @ least couple of sites have ssl protection doesn't work name-based virtual hosts. has run trouble multiple ips through vps? wouldn't think so, i've heard whisperings contrary.
slicehost (referral link, if choose) offers reverse dns, multiple ips ($2/month/ip), ubuntu/debian (along others). criteria doesn't support ship-a-vm one, let clone vms you've set in system via snapshots. set once, copy vm many times like.
if that's sacrifice you're willing make, highly recommend them - they've had great customer service few times i've needed contact them, decent rates, , great admin backend.
