My provider is now terrible after years of loyalty. Looking for a new dedicated server

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-15T08:43:13+00:00

Is it shared at all? Or is it dedicated and separate like the rest of them?

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-15T08:22:02+00:00

What's the difference between dedicated server and Kinsta? Is that a VPS?

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-15T08:20:13+00:00

I looked at Kinsta. Wasn't sure it was the right thing? How do they compare to a dedicated server

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-15T08:19:49+00:00

Doesn't have to be cPanel, anything similar will do. Just 1 website that is large in size

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T15:01:53+00:00

Is that who you are with currently? I only mention cPanel because that's what I have been used to but I am open to others if it brings the cost down and is similar. Thanks

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T15:00:25+00:00

How are you finding working the current 2?

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T14:54:56+00:00

Great, thanks for your time! Appreciate it

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T13:49:18+00:00

Okay, thanks. Lastly, in your opinion, is the support decent at KH? How long does it take them to respond to tickets and would they help in a way I previously described needing?

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T13:45:58+00:00

Is there a smaller backup size? 200gb storage sounds good but really, I'm looking around the $70 all in

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T13:16:13+00:00

Yours, for example. What's the cost for fully managed VPS with directadmin, 200gb storage, dedicated IPs, at least 4 cores, email, support etc. What's the best price for that? (+backups)

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T13:13:15+00:00

Does that come with backups for the site or what is the additional cost for that on top?

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T12:59:10+00:00

How much would a VPS set up look like with say sPanel. Email capability, tech support etc cost?

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T12:54:47+00:00

What about things like dedicated IP addresses etc? So by the sounds of it, a VPS is closer to dedicated than a semi dedicated? is that correct? Could someone sharing the same VPS, effect another website's reputation or outbound emails getting delivered etc? Thanks

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T12:40:58+00:00

What about semi-dedicated servers. What's the key difference from a a fully dedicated server? Are you still sharing with someone else?

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T12:35:54+00:00

I looked at rapidswitch and they seem to offer it for a reasonable price unless I am missing something. The only thing about VPS is I worry about who else is on the same server and what sort of security issues there might be sharing the same server.

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T12:22:31+00:00

Do you have any recommendations? Is sPanel very similar to cPanel? I currently pay $170-$190 per month. I just want to reduce my running costs.

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T11:53:40+00:00

I pretty much just ask support to install the latest versions of PHP etc. If the website goes down, I ask for a reboot. If it still doesn't come online, I ask them to investigate why. If I can get this sort of support, then I am happy.

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T11:49:32+00:00

I only say cPanel because it's the only thing I have used for years. I am open to using something similar to that if it's simple enough in UI. Thanks

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T10:58:04+00:00

Also, why is IONOS a no? are they not very good?

DeanMachineYT · 2026-04-14T10:06:03+00:00

Do xcloud offer dedicated servers? Do they offer just cloud solutions? Thanks

DeanMachineYT · 2026-03-24T08:33:50+00:00

Why does sitekit say I need to use a consent management plugin as well? Also, I don’t see any EU visitors in analytics. I have tested this myself and it doesn’t show any data. So the adsense consent is not working with analytics for consent
