These will most likely be low traffic sites. But I don't want any blocked tags that some of the cheaper shared packages have. I'm not afraid of taking on the server admin role, and will most likely handle that type of work for the client anyway. Currently I am a semi-server admin for a higher traffic site. We have a dedicated, managed server, but I still so some of the upkeep. It is a Win/IIS server. Can Windows do VPS? One sales guy they only have a beta of that and all their VPS is through Linux. He said that if I'm not a Linux guru I shouldn't try that. But I think I could at least learn enough to set up some sites and such. The VPS deals look like I would have to buy my own version of CF too. Which I am open too, at least the standard version.
