And what's your traffic if i may ask? I know two sites which pulled off from them around 18 months back as the sites on two different VDS's at Servint used to be down due to overload for busy time of day.
Do you mean datacenter? It is in Burstnet.
You could be right. I got some troubles with their datacenter, but volumedrive is planning to move all server to their own datacenter. I hope it is fine.
By the way, my server is not in Burstnet company. It separates with volumedrive company and totally different.
Great. I guess if you do not fear bash (shell) then it's fine otherwise if site uptime is critical and you cannot work from shell to debug things then look for managed deals. In any case you shouldn't ever need to hire a third party company to look into your server. If that's always the case, then best bet is change the host.
Install vnstat ( http://humdi.net/vnstat/ ) and then run vnstat -h/d/m (from shell) to give you the traffic in terms of BW hourly/daily/monthly and that could be an indication about how busy the VDS is (presuming that major traffic is serving sites and not ftp/http downloads). One busy site could take a cluster of servers to run

so number of sites really is immaterial. I have nothing against Servint.
Do you mean management company?
I hire platinumservermanagement.com for server management. They are great and helped me a lot.
My server is unmanaged, but I do not much about IT. Therefore I need someone to manage my server in sometime.
