My requirements are different from what you are saying above. I want VPS hosting at rates as cheap as Shared hosting . I found one, but unfortunately they don't provide dns service. So which requires the free dns hosting or host my own dns server. So it is not re-inventing the wheel. Is it ? AFAIK the hosting providers you mentioned provide dns service only if you choose to host with them and their VPS services aren't anywhere near cheap. Further i am not a business class user to require so many of their features like 24x7 support, SSL certificate, plex control panel (what ever that mean) etc. I choose to go with unmanaged , no support , no ssl, plain VPS provided by tocici and for my purposes this is more than enough. You see that i feel that root access is great compared to shared hosting where you are treated as a dumb end user. I would better switch to windows OS than using such a service. Here is the price comparision of 1and1 vps solution and that provided by tocici http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/VirtualServerL;jsessionid=CDE40393DBB0D93C92D3C37FF5F0B6F5.TCpfix141a?__frame=_top&__lf=Static&ordernow=true http://www.buildyourvps.com/unmanaged.html 1and1 demands 29$ monthly for their lowest offering in vps class tocici is asking for ~2$ monthly for their offering. I subscribed to their plan and i am paying ~4$ monthly and it is just 2 months old.
