When looking for a reliable vps hosting solution, never just look at the bandwidth allocation and space that you can make use of because if the host doesn’t have the hardware that you need to handle your site, your website performance will dramatically decrease once you experience heavy traffic loads. Oftentimes dedicated hosting solutions handle the problem since all the resources in the server are directed towards a single website allowing webmasters to fully manage their website with root access and all. Still, they are getting costly and therefore Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting is becoming more used by people who need control of their site in a shared hosting environment to save money. SWVPS is one of the solutions that offer such services.

About SWVPS Hosting

SWVPS is an US hosting service provider that offers budget vps plans with servers located in both US and UK. It supports Linux OS as well as Windows and offers four general plans to choose from. The first plan is a special hosting offer which costs $7.95 a month and includes basic spacifications and the root access. The LVPS-1 plan offers additional disk space, RAM, and bandwidth without significantly increasing the cost. The most expensive plan at $135 per month includes a server with a quad core processor and fairly high specs to power any large website with flexible operating system choices.

Pros

Only the specifications make SWVPS seem attractive enough at first. Each plan is highly detailed and the flexibility comes on with a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems supported ranging from CentOS to Fedora Core, Debian, Ubuntu, and Gentoo. Additionally, operating systems are supported in 2003 and 2008 flavors. The software included with both Fantistico Deluxe and Plesk an option also add to SWVPS’s attractiveness.

Cons

Poor uptime and unsatisfactory technical support quickly cut down the potential of SWVPS. Recent customer reviews point out that SWVPS often goes into monthly maintenance periods in bad time, giving an example of one instance where the site went offline for maintenance on a Friday morning. The support does address these issues, but downtimes can be quite long lasting up to 45 minutes due to rebooting or installation of new software.

Customer support differs depending on the situation where the live support is taken offline during crucial moments of the downtime. They do manage to explain the nature of their downtimes, but then suddenly disappear for several weeks leaving no information about when the problem will be solved.

SWVPS has good features and a good price to top it off, but these good hardware features are useless if they are not being used to their full potential. There is no point in having a fast running site if it is to go offline unexpectedly for indefinite periods. This may improve in the future if new software and hardware are actively installed, so you can come back to it once more positive reviews show up.
