I am looking for some vps hosting provider as dedicated hosting is out of my budget. Any additional information about VPS shall be useful

Hi..

My hosting provider uses a apache web server..so I built a mysql database and interfaces..but I want to transmit the information over the internet securely..

My cpanel doesn’t seem to have options for encryption..can anyone give me advice on going about this..

Thanks in advance.

We want a scalable solution that is affordable but robust enough to handle an sharp increase in demand.

1) Performance - We want our hosting to be able to scale quickly to handle an increase in traffic.
2) Email - We will be sending our members critical event notification emails that we don’t want listed as SPAM. Anything we can do in the hosting environment to improve this would be great.
3) Security - We don’t have full-time staff, so it would be great if more of the IT maintenance / updates / monitoring that can be done by the hosting provider.
4) Cost - we have a limited budget, and we can’t get into a long-term contract.

Technical details: Windows hosting w/ SQL required.

What are the best solutions out there?

Many thanks
