For what its worth,

Stay away from Powervps.

They use virtualalization from virtuozzo.

It very hard to find out what resources you are actually guaranteed, one two
occasions we purchased extra resources to never have them delivered.

After 2 months of support tickets back and forth asking for confirmation
that the resources were implemented properly. We finally discovered the way
to see what had been assigned.

Even with root access to the nix system, it will only show the ram/cpu
installed for the real server. You are allow use the full system resources,
but if you go over an it affect other clients guarantees,

Your services are killed off randomly without prejudice, which even includes
daemons that monitor services and restart them. In effect, you have to
manually restart your server ever week or so if you're using your resources
near your limits.

A year ago, powervps support was beyond excellent with support and customer
service. Now there are very few technicians that can actually answer your
questions or provide you help.

Support and customer service tickets are frequently completely ignored for
weeks at a time.

And no refunds are given for upgrades, even upgrades never delivered.

 

I would recommend godaddy hosting. You can get a complete dedicated server
for around a thousand yearly with 2 gigs of ram.

Check out bluehostfourms.com The moderators there are not helpful.
Advise everyone the same thing, to submit a support ticket.

There you can see the complaints about CPU Exceeeded errors which is
plaging many a site.

please read my previous post or this one

bluehost only allows 5% (by file size) of your disc space to be multimedia, it's in their TOS.  
most vr sites cannot be hosted by them,  

if you are with them and not having problems you are probably just lucky they haven't
noticed you.
