Good VPS provider

[AlexGoesHigh]

So I'm very new into the process of building a website and while googling does takes me to some guides everything is full of referral programs and the likes which is what I'm avoiding due to fact that I would be biting an ad that doesn't help to see if the service is of quality, go figure...

 

I'm not looking for something fancy though, the best that I found for my needs are linode (the low end server for €5/month) but I really want to see what's around before renting a VPS

 

And the reason for the VPS is that part of the website needs to have a LMS attached to it from what I have seen you need a VPS to set that up, which speaking about it, I'm going with Moodle ATM but I'm open to suggestions about this as well

I have used linode before to host some joomla sites and they have been really good. Not sure how well moodle would run on there $5 plan, would recommend about 4gb minimum for moodle depending on how many people are going to be using it.

Not much though, it's a really small bussniess maybe 5 people at the same time would be on, I feel 90% of the time one person would be on, also my budget is super tight, this is a family bussniess in all sense of the word.

You will have to give it a go and then see how it runs, I have never installed it on less than 4gb so can't advise how it will run. You can always up the plan in it dosent run very well. If you can squeese it in your budget try and get at leat 2gb.

 

Also depending on what connection you have in the bussniess it may be cheaping running moodle on a server in house.
