    Default Budget VPS Questions

    I got most of the answers of my questions from a the support desk but i want to ask some more.

    1.Can i Pay one year in full.


    2. I see you have a coupon for 50% off first invoice. Any discounts that may apply on the whole year purchase.


    3. How will the invoicing be done if i pay one year in full and then change/upgrade my package after like say 6 months?


    4. After i have made my final decision could i just see a demo of one of your VPS's with the general configuration. The demo for HyperVM is down.


    5. Will all the basic stuff be installed with HyperVM i.e. PHP/Database/Apache etc?

    1) Sure
    2) You will get 2 month free, I think you need to open a ticket for that.
    3) No idea
    4) Nothing special, you can google for an image

    5) There is like 50 templates with kloxo,virtualmin,lamp and so on, I'm sure you'll find the one you like

    A note: don't order the European location right now, as it is not ready for there system. And well I always recommend people ordering one moth on any host, if you install and set up your websites without any problems, you can just order another 12 month and I'm sure they will refund you for two month.

    Thanks for the reply.

    As for Question no.5
    Will all the basic stuff be installed with HyperVM i.e. PHP/Database/Apache etc?

    i'll be getting the unmanaged server, so i am asking if the basic necessities be installed. I am not a hosting guy (know very little). My only use will be adding a couple of domains and rarely checking for bandwidth usage.

    As for the ordering. My friend and me already use on of their dedicated servers so i know that i can trust them. but since my friend is out of town i have to do this on my own. My client prefers the yearly payment cycle.

    No there is no such thing, there are OS templates like I said, your best pick would be Centos + Kloxo (web interface) in hostinabox template, it has everything you need (mysql, ftp, mail management and so on), but my personal deal with this template is that it had spam issues with it's default mail delivery program (qmail) and I had to change it to postfix so the Ip wouldn't get blacklisted.

    If your friend administrated a dedicated servers I'm sure he will be able to make such a change for you later on.

    Great. It would have been great if i had got a Demo but seems i will have to do without it.


    As for spam my friend why you you use google apps. The best way to administer the domains and emails

    OCZ pretty much answered all your questions, but I'll see if I can help.


    I got most of the answers of my questions from a the support desk but i want to ask some more.

    1.Can i Pay one year in full.
    --Yes you can, you have to contact sales for that.

    2. I see you have a coupon for 50% off first invoice. Any discounts that may apply on the whole year purchase.
    --First month invoice only.

    3. How will the invoicing be done if i pay one year in full and then change/upgrade my package after like say 6 months?
    --It simply changes to whatever package you upgrade/downgrade to. So if you go from Budget VPS 1 to 2, then your reoccurring amount is $9.95/mo.

    4. After i have made my final decision could i just see a demo of one of your VPS's with the general configuration. The demo for HyperVM is down.
    --We don't have a Demo at the moment, but it is a popular tool.

    5. Will all the basic stuff be installed with HyperVM i.e. PHP/Database/Apache etc?
    --Depends on the OS template. If you install a template with a control panel like Kloxo, Webmin, Cpanel, then yes it will be preinstalled. The blank images will require you to install those things. However, if you have never managed a VPS before then you should really get a VPS with cPanel/WHM.
