Godaddy VPS w/ PHP5 MySQL5 and Lightning Speed
Well I've finally made the transition and have upgraded from shared hosting account to a Virtual Dedicated Server. It took me the whole weekend to transfer all of my files over, and update all the configurations and get everything working properly, but it is finally over with, and now my website loads with lightning fast speed. I decided to upgrade since I have a couple new web projects that are database intensive, so this will definitely speed the development process up as well as speeding my website up. I'm sure there is still a bunch of stuff not copied over correctly, so if you find something that looks goofy, please write me a comment or use the contact form. Muah!

So far the service isn't bad. Apart from having to upgrade alot of things right off the bat, such as php 4 to php 5 and mysql 4 to mysql 5, this was easily taken care of through YUM. I can tell a significant difference in speed when using phpMyAdmin, and it is only costing me $25 a month, since I used a 10% off coupon code, and am doing a year hosting that I can cancel any time and get a refund, and that also gives me another 15% off. Hope this helps you in your decision.
