Note: VPS Host Reviews only considers the monthly rate for VPSLink VPS pricing comparison and rating since the majority of VPS customers prefer to pay monthly.

VPSLink provides unmanaged VPS hosting to the more experienced web hosting clients who know their way around a Linux VPS web server. Since VPSLink utilizes unmanaged VPS hosting, they are able to use free control panels with basic management and supply their customers with the cheapest VPS plans available anywhere.

Since VPSLink VPS hosting is priced well below the normal prices that other companies charge for VPS plans, we rated their price value as excellent.

VPSLink VPS Hosting - Reliability Review

VPSLink was recently bought out and their servers were relocated to their new datacenter in Boston, Massachusetts. Since this move happened in 2010, it is our responsibility to wait to see what customers say about their hosting at this new location once the dust settles.

VPSLink VPS Hosting - Customer Support Review

VPSLink, due to their unmanaged VPS hosting, offers limited support. VPSLink is very up-front about what they will and will not support regarding your VPS should you have any problems. VPSLink will help you if you have billing or account management, root password resets, reverse DNS management, working with the physical server such as hardware and uptime, the control center, configuration settings outside of your server like hostname and resolver configuration, or access problems related to SSH. Other than that, you are on your own to find solutions, one method VPSLink suggests is via their VPSLink Community.
