How Do I know if my host offer match their promise?

That question came from one of my student who looking for cheap and affordable vps provider. This post dedicated for him and I also want to spread the info. Perhaps I can get more info too from others 🙂

I use my account at PhotonVPS for this purpose and if you want to do the same you can follow it from scratch :

Order and Login to VPS Account

1. Order an account at PhotonVPS, I choose OpenVZ type with Beam1 plan.

2. Check your email for account information, I highlight ssh information for education purpose.

Main IP address and Root password is information I need.

3. Setting Putty for connecting to PhotonVPS.

• At Hostname enter root@MAIN IP ADDRESS
• Connection type :  SSH
• Saved Sessions : type anyname and click save for future reference.

Click Open to start connection to vps server.
