Hosting
Normal reseller hosts pack as many clients onto a server as they can - too few resources, too many sites. fivedev is different, with a cap on clients to each server, with constant tuning to ensure the best performance. Hosting is not limited to phpVMS clients, or phpVMS software - install whatever you need.

Why fivedev?
I can get unlimited for the same price!
Your "unlimited" host right now really isn't unlimited - you're limited on ionodes (number of files you can have), and also, you're given a really small slice of CPU time (I'd read the fine print), after which your account is suspended. There's a cap on clients per server at fivedev, because my biggest concern is...
Speed!
Yes! Speed. I've got speed on my mind, unlike other hosts, who want to cram as many clients onto a server as they can. I'm constantly tweaking to keep my servers running at their best. For instance, I've loaded nginx which serves up static content much faster (your images, files, etc - it can host over 1000 concurrent connections and use 2.5MB of RAM!). I've got Apache 2.2 loaded with PHP-FCGI, which also serves up content quickly, without having to rev-up all of PHP on every request.
Support
Got a problem? Open a ticket, or post on the forum. I've been supporting phpVMS since it started, working with everyone one-on-one, that's why it's the best VA software out there. So if you've got a problem, we'll fix it fast. phpVMS has an awesome, active community, who are eager to help! You'll also get faster support, since (with your permission), I can check out exactly what's going on behind the scenes with any errors.
