VPS hosting is in need ...
 

VPS deals from HostingSource.com and QHoster.com are in my mind and I need to know which host is better to sign up with?

I would suggest you to check more hosting companies for more deals, there many web hosting providers, who have more better deals options. VPS hosting needs best confirgration and should have good performance, I would suggest Host Surf UK

Are there set-up fees? If so, what are they – and are they waived for first-time subscribers?

You can get pretty good vps hosting deals at Lusovps.com - all their work is based on quality.
Overall reliability is great, the control panel is easy to use, and useful, things work the way they say they will - basically impressed with these guys.

You can get pretty good vps hosting deals at godaddy

no use godaddy
 

I had a bad experience with godaddy, my recommendation is vpswebserver company .. fast servers and SUPPORT for clients 24/7

I'd like to say that Kvchosting.com would be nice place to buy VPS solutions with best performance. They have reasonable deals, skilled support and solid hardware.

Go to a few hosting review sites and read what people have said, there is a high chance that a host has written positive things about himself so you are looking for negative reviews because those will tell you the truth.

For me, dailyrazor.com vps hosting deals look to be the best here.
They have top-notch customer service, responding to trouble tickets immediately and consistently.

Well, its better if you sign up with 4Goodhosting.com. You know what I have been with this host since 2009 and I haven't faced any problem. Their servers are currently up to date and you wont experience any outages. Support they provide is 24 hours online and the responses are lightning fast. My last host takes hours to respond on my ticket. Just give them a try.
