Poll regarding hosting services

Dirty like the scummiest alleyway.
I need... HOSTING POAWEARRRR
Subpixel:
Why don't people just use VPS servers for now? It would probably be better actually.

Pecon:
VPS servers are very expensive and tend to require more user experience than a use-specific service.

Think it should at least be kinda polished when money is involved. Don't need the lovely interface but at least a functional one that has what's needed to provide a decent service. Would prefer to have stuff like autosave, chat, and admin controls, even if it doesn't look great as long as it works.

Rephrase: Would the aforementioned thing be acceptable?

If you rush it and it forgets up and you have to compensate people it might not be a great start monetarily, but that risk is up to you, and so is the one of pouncing on the opportunity just as RTB goes down vs avoiding bad first impressions.

It's a lot more expensive unless you do that server roommate thing Pecon was planning to do. It's also not exactly the best interface for specifically hosting a server.
