The Verdict

Dr. VPS hosting plans include the basic tools individuals and small businesses need in Web
hosting. They do not offer premium support, enterprise level plans, nor colocation services.
However, they do have ’round-the-clock support via ticketing included at no additional cost.
Their plans aren’t loaded down with a bunch of pre-installed software you may or may not want.
If you’re looking for affordable, basic hosting plans or low-cost reseller plans, Dr. VPS might be
right for you.
