I'm a web developer. I have a few small online web application and a few Wordpress blogs. But i don't have too much experience with installing / configuring web servers .

One of my web application needs cron jobs. It will check a lot of web sites availability. And, this application will leech too much RAM. And i think shared-hosting isn't suitable for this. But 1GB storage is enough i think. I don't need too much storage for my web sites.

What do you think ? Which hosting solution is more suitable for my requirements ?

Reseller ? VPS ? Cloud Server ? etc ...

There's really not enough here to go on. How many clients do you have? How/Where are they currently hosted? What kind of workload (traffic, DB sizes, etc.) are we talking about? – voretaq7♦ Feb 18 '11 at 22:49
It all depends on your load and expected load. But from what it sounds like "shared" web hosting might be your most cost effective solution. – xeon Feb 18 '11 at 23:06

Get a VPS and install your things there. Manage the software on it by yourself. That way you will retain the flexibility you need while saving money compared to a dedicated server, and as you don't really need scalability now, Cloud solutions like EC2 might be too complicated for no reason.

But i haven't experience with installing Apache , MySql etc. to web server. So , using VPS is difficult for me. – Eray Feb 19 '11 at 14:43
