VPS Advice

[KyleJ144]

hey guys I am looking for advise as I have a windows vps and I access it with Remote Desktop and when I link the domain up to and I search it. It comes up that it can't connect to server or something. So would I be better keeping this vps or get one with a cPanel and if the advise is to keep this one then please give me advise on how to get my problem sorted. Please help.

Thanks in advance

Did you install IIS/Xampp/Nginx? If so, did you open your ports in your firewall?

Quoting back to your OP, you're better off with a VPS rather than cPanel.

But back on topic, instead of putting the domain in the browser, put your VPS IP. If it still doesn't connect, then it still sounds like a port issue or something else that is blocking the connection. Make sure you installed everything from tutorials, missing something could have an effect on this.

Neither do i as i have had problems with the vps and their not willing to help so i am thinking of switching to xhosts

Giga Networks or HostSavor are the ones I'd recommend.

xHosts is A++.
Epic Hosts has always over-charged and is a very unreliable service, it's probably as they don't know what they're doing; not that they don't know.

Also, CPanel would be the better solution, it gives you the many wonders of a simple GUI to configure 'complex applications' on your web server. E.g. a mail server can be set up and configured in seconds, rather than minutes/hours (hours being someone who has not done it before or someone who is doing an intensive configuration).

Obviously I would recommend Gianetwork not because I work for it but I have services with them that work ace.
