The major problem with VPS solutions is someone on the VPS may run away with the resources and force your VPS to run slower. Dedicated managed servers are always the best way to go. No fear of someone else slowing your server/resources down. Plus VPS normally don’t offer Managed support. Some companies like Server Intellect do offer VPS Manged support, but most don’t. If you have the money get a dedicated server over a VPS

They are quite awful all around.

I realize this is a late response, but worth adding. I am in the painful process of moving all my applications and client applications off TextDrive. They have truly been the absolute worst host I have ever used and I would not recommend anyone use them. My support requests went unanswered for weeks and when finally answered, they dripped of condecention and misinformation. If they are know-it-alls, they most certainly do NOT know how run a business.

Furthermore, the setups are extremely complex, the server space and memory is miniscule, and they charge you a premium for this! For shame, 37Signals, for promoting these guys as the premier Rails host!

Textdrive is full of know-it-alls who can’t get the details right. Servers fall like leaves all year round. Unprofessional at best.

I have yet to have any problems at all. I’ve only had to use their support twice, and both times they answered and solved my problems within minutes.

My server has never been down either. Their online account/billing site is very easy to use and you can pay with a credit card online which is cool.

I could not be happier.

Hello. I was just wondering what you thought of Server4Sale after using them for a month or so. I am also looking to move away from TextDrive. Thanks!
