prosper202 + Nngix + Varnish + Xcache - Where to outsource setup ?

Hello,

I'm researching VPS/Cloud/Dedi offers for my first setup with prosper202.
I know you would recommend beyondhosting, but what they offer (256MB RAM for $50/mo or 1GB for $100/mo) is much higher then regular market prices.

I'm thinking to go with some unmanaged dedi, like
volumedrive - http://volumedrive.com/vdrive/?a=dedicated
(4 GB + 2 cores for $40/mo)
or
hetzner - http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/pro...oduktmatrix-ex
Both offer very good datacenteres and hardwere.

Or maybe to go with scalable cloud from stormondemand or singlehop.

Can you recommend someone technical to install Nngix + Varnish + Xcache optimized for prosper202 ?

I guess those of you who run this setup outsourced it from someone.

I know I can open job at odesk, but it's much better to contact "right" guy.

WOW. I don't even know what to think about this topic.

VolumeDrive is ENTIRELY unmanaged, you will wait up to a week for support. You can check places like webhostingtalk.com ect for info about them. If you just need a server to be up most the time they are a good solution.

Hetzner is in DE so any traffic not coming from that general area will have a poor latency and slow *load speed*. They are also unmanaged but have decent support, don't expect hardware fixes quicker than 4-12 hours.

Storm has high latency and is not a cloud, its a VPS, the storage is still forced to be local.
Singlehops tandem cloud has poor io because they store the data in a single file on the storage array, absolutely no caching. We've offloaded a few redundant internal resources to them, not very impressive.

Nginx is actually rather slow in comparison to testing we've done against Litespeed, also only a fraction as reliable. Varnish is pointless unless your running a CDN serve node yourself.

For the record, starter is $45 and 1024CAM is $79.. not sure where you got $50 and $100?

But this is obviously all bias as its coming from a guy who actually knows this industry inside out, can make servers handle massive volume, and helps people succeed with great success.

Beyong Hosting is solid, i have to agree with Tyler, best loading speeds so far.
