Since I wasn't satisfied with what Zone.net delivered, even after promising that things will go better and they didn't. I decided to continue my search for a better hosting. I was basically trying to find a hosting with the following criteria: * OS: Debian * Control Panel: Plesk * RAM: ~512MBs * Private and Reverse DNS. * Backup is a plus. So I spent few more days reading here and there until a friend suggested Linode. As usual, I went through WHT's forums and read reviews about Linode and they were all positive. Their only problem was: they don't provide control panels, I have to install them myself. Yet they had so many pros like the slicing thing. I decided to give them a try so I ordered Linode 540 plan at 11:05AM. 11:07AM: got the confirmation e-mail. 11:11AM: got the payment receipt. 12:43PM: VPS activated! Awesome speed! I logged in, created my first slice, chosen Debian Sarge and in 2 mins it was installed and ready! WOW! Great service so far. I will play with the VPS for a while and see how things will go.
