Misleading and Wrong informations in the promo or sales pages

 

Root access : Access to the root is very important, there are any VPS for WordPress hosting services who shares one vps with 3-4 users without the root access. Mention of this thing can be absent or written with asterisks.

Unlimited Bandwidth : Though Unlimited Bandwidth scam is typical for shared hosts, some brands offers Unlimited Bandwidth for VPS for WordPress “schemes” too. There will be an asterisk with mention of “fair usage policy”. You must know that, fair usage policy can mean a very little bandwidth.

Falsifying OS : Some dishonest web hosts says this VPS for WordPress plan runs Red Hat Linux (Paid OS), which in fact runs CentOS (Open Source). Technically there is almost no problem but this is a trap to fetch money.

Uptime : Most VPS for WordPress assures 99.99% uptime – honestly no website can have 99.99% uptime. The reason is not on the server but other factors. As they are saying about the server, legally they are right, but take that, your website will never get 99.99% uptime. The uptime is not important whether it is a VPS for WordPress or a dedicated, but the length of downtime. I know one web host who has “VPS for WordPress Plan” where the duration of a usual downtime is about 30 minutes.

Dedicated support : “Our VPS for WordPress comes with bundled support from the Engineers“. Most “Engineers” however, might not know what is “keep-alive”, someone’s whole website was “mistakenly” deleted when the user asked for enabling keep-alive. There are worsts – can not understand specific country’s English pronunciations.

cPanel or Plesk : There are many VPS for WordPress plans where cPanel or Plesk is not included within the price. Pay extra to get the cPanel.

VPS For WordPress Starts at $ 10.00 : Think what can you buy with $10 in this market at the end of 2011 – few kgs of sugars.

Server Management Levels Basic/Full : It means no support in the bundled cost for your VPS for WordPress plan. Pay extra for the managed level.

Swap Memory or burst memory : Technically it is not possible to give 100% Physical RAM as burstable RAM. But, many VPS for WordPress has such plans…
