VPS Operating Systems?

[Acejam]

I see that CentOS is currently listed as the default OS for VPS's. Any chance in getting Ubuntu Server loaded onto a VPS?

Thanks,
Ace

We can put Ubuntu on your VPS, but it would make it completely unmanaged.

You would have to submit a support request for an OS reload, since we don't have other operating systems in our billing system yet.

That's completely fine. I currently have a dedicated server @ another provider that has CentOS 5.3 x64 on it. The box has 8GB of RAM with a Q9300 in it, but I have since sold the heavy-traffic sites that lived on that machine. (used to run proxy networks, but not any more )

Therefore, I no longer have any need to pay $1xx per month for hosting my other sites....

Unmanaged is fine, as I do everything via command line or Webmin. I'm currently debating between Level 3 and Level 4 plans...what would you recommend for someone who hosts about 6 websites, which receive about 2,000 visitors a day? (in total, simple PHP pages) I use anywhere from 50-75 GB a month.

If the sites are coded efficiently then Level 3 would work just fine.

The value of level 4-6 are better then the lower plans, same with 7-9 if you want to take that into consideration.

I'd start with Level 3 and if you need to upgrade later on you can with no or little down time.
