Default Can you get all the same features with VPS?

If I was to purchase a VPS hosting package, does this type of service still have things like Fantastico already installed or would I have to purchase all those type of features separately? I use Fantastico particularly for the ease of Wordpress installation.

Wordpress installs are really simple even without fantastico. I mean I really like to add all the themes and plugins before I install, that saves a bunch of time doing it that way.

With our Linux Web Servers - cPanel, we provide Fantastico Deluxe for Free! and pre-installed in your cPanel - WHM

I use Fantastico a lot for WP so this is a big plus for me. At the rate that I am building blogs, a VPS option could be more economical than the way I've been doing it.

VPS hosting is definitely a good solution and along with Fantastico installed on it, you are well aware of the no. of blogs that you can create! ;)

Thats a good plus for some of the blog flippers I am seeing in the market lately. I could not count the number of people that tell me they work from home and flip nothing but sites all the time to make their money.

Back on the thread note though, what panel do you use for the windows servers here?

Windows servers are provided with Plesk control panel as cPanel control panel is not supported by Windows. However, Plesk control panel is also a very good control panel and it has many features which will help you to manage your server efficiently. You will get application vault with Plesk control panel which is the same as Fantastico.

Please be advised that you will need to install Plesk Add-on - Plesk Power Pack to install Application Vault on a windows server.

This is the problem. You will need Plesk power pack to have Application Vault and you will have to pay for Plesk Power pack License. This is not the problem with Fantastico as Fantastico is included in cPanel and you do not have to purchase any cPanel add-on for Fantastico.

So can you give me an idea of how many blogs the smallest VPS package would hold? Assuming each blog was around 100 pages average size? Obviously bandwidth would be a factor but I'm not assuming high traffic on these particular blogs.
