The $30 deal seems silly. Why only one database? I personally don't like the VPS options that several of the other hosting companies are now offering as being even remotely reasonable. Here goes my rant on VPS...
At $70 per month, they have to be cutting a lot of corners to make that economical. For example, CF Standard costs $1300, it would take over 18 months just to recoup the cost of CF? With server/bandwidth/resources included over 2 years. Either the resources they give you would be seriously limited and/or they have to be overloading the servers to make this profitable. Putting way too many VPSs on one server. Several people here have noted the bad performance from VPS. One other point, is most hosters will give you complete control (basically terminal service access) to the box. Do you really want this? You might be a good programmer, but are you also a solid system administrator? Do you really want to carry that load as well? Then think, others have the same access to their servers. Now you have even higher security concerns to deal with in relation to that. If they have firewalls protecting you from the outside. Do they also have firewalls protecting you from other VPSs? If their control panel can't handle most server setup functions then frankly it should. Then ask yourself, if your VPS does go down. Who has to do the rebuild. Do they simply provide a fresh VPS instance and leave you to set everything back up? There's a lot to consider when they offer you enough rope to hang yourself with. I'm not going to sale you on FusionLink here. If you like, I can address you on our options off list. I just want to point out VPS might not be as good of a deal as it seems.
