Website Hosting

Linux Support
1

I am hosting a number of websites (11 plus a few more in the pipe line), so nothing too major.

I am looking to have my own sever to host the sites which will give me a better performance and of course save me some money. I was thinking of using Linux as the software, but I just have a few questions:

? How do I know what bandwidth I get and how will I be able to control which website get what?
? Will Linux support SSD VPS?
? Software wise will it support Plesk, c-panel & Apache?

Plus if anyone can give me any recommendations for the hardware side too.

I look forward to hearing from you.

? How do I know what bandwidth I get and how will I be able to control which website get what?

See the response here:

there are a number of bandwidth limiting modules for apache

? Will Linux support SSD VPS?

Yup.

? Software wise will it support Plesk, c-panel & Apache?

Apache, of course it will :wink:

Plesk and Cpanel … it depends on the VPS provider and the distro used … Linux dos support them, but as an example VPS.net only offer Cpanel on CentOS 6 VPS’s
That said, what’s wrong with Webmin/Virtualmin ? … we use that combo on the Peppermint VPS (currently running Ubuntu 14.04)
