Comment What i did: run VPS with CentOS + DirectAdmin (Score 1) 136
I often develop for VPSes running CentOS and DirectAdmin.
So i got a VPS like that for ~€14
Developing this way is quite versatile too; i make a user per solution. I can backup that user and import it on other servers (production) or just archive this username.tar.gz file. This backup bundles relevant files, databases, accounts such as email or ftp, even DNS records if i want to.
