Virtual Dedicated Hosting Recommendations

[fouldragon at aol.com]

Short answer:

Virtual dedicated gives you your own virtualized machine; you get root, 
sometimes you can choose the distro of choice, you can configure 
basically the whole thing.

I've had decent luck with WiredTree and Ubiquity.  The latter has 
fairly good support but the uptime has been mediocre.  The former gives 
you a lot of kit for the money.

I sent this a while ago but it doesn't seem to have gone through,
so trying again ...

 I don't know the difference between "virtual dedicated" and regular
web hosting,
 but I recently switched my web hosting to BlueHost.com and it has been
 excellent.
 24/7 tech support by toll free 800#, live chat, and email with
 unlimited *everything*
  band-width, file space, etc. for $142 for 3 years. 100% up time. No 
worries.
 100% US based servers (Utah) and 100% American English tech support.
 (No off-shore, out-sourced, can't hear or understand them problems.)

  What does "virtual dedicated" hosting give you that is better than 
that?
