Looks like it's the same:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vps
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vds

That company looks pretty established, but I would use the toll free number one to ask some questions just to make sure it's really usable. I had an account with a hosting company, and every time I called, the system said I was "Number one in the queue", yet I was on hold for 15 minutes and then sent to voicemail. Turns out they are using that 800-image service, and they were doing a bad customer service job.

I find some famous website and compare their Gold price, I found YouGm's price is lower. The service is ok. Live help online 24 hours and the visite speed is quickly. It is said that yougm is a new website. The only way to pay for your purchase from yougm is paypal. If you want instant delivery at the time of purchase. you must have a verified paypal account. unverified accounts take longer to verify. After your account is verified, they will deliver your product within 15-20 minutes. I am glad to share my experience with erveryone. if somebody have the best website, please tell me.

As far as I know VPS and VDS is the same actually. Hug, can you explain what are you talking about exactly?
Better use service which has this service in major.
According to myriadnetwork.com list (http://www.myriadnetwork.com/services/hosting.php) VPS is their main service.

Myriadnetwork.com's reseller plans looks good.
Moreover they write:

Quote: Completely brandable hosting platform. We stay in the background.
Your own hosting engineer, to help you run your business profitably.
A powerful suite of features and unmatched connectivity.
More bandwidth, more disk space, and a bulletproof network.

I guess you may trust them. Anyway, try them and share your experience with us later.

VDS == VPS

They are the same - just called different names.

Myriadnetwork.com states:

Quote: If your mail server or network goes down, Myriad Network backup SMTP can receive and store your incoming e-mail for up to 30 days. E-mail and ecommerce orders will keep coming, giving your IT staff time to repair the problem. Our standard service reattempts delivery every 15 minutes until your mail server is back online.

Quote: Backup SMTP is a service that safeguards your incoming email — even if your website, mail server, or network go down. Myriad Network's backup SMTP servers are geographically dispersed, and are independent of other systems. So your email data is protected, come hacker or high water.

I think it's a very useful service. Do you know any other web hosting companies that offer such services?

Myriadnetwork.com offer also secondary DNS servers starting at $75 per month. I think it's interesting offers.

Myriadnetwork.com business ethics seems to be effective:

Quote: A long-time leader in strategic hosting services, Myriad Network (http://www.myriadnetwork.com) believes that its "peopleware" is as important as its hardware. That's why every account gets its own hosting engineer, a 100% uptime guarantee, 24/7 support, and access to Myriad Network's Traffic-proof Network, based in the Equinix northern Virginia data center.

There are actually no real differences between a Virtual Private Server and a Virtual Dedicated Server. As far as I know there are just two different ways of calling the same thing. I was also wondering some time ago why people call these types of server this way and not in just one way but seems like variations of the same terminology may often appear, especially in a huge community such as the Internet.

Do you mean that Myriadnetwork.com is a leading webhosting company in providing this kind of services?

No guys, Myriadnetwork.com is reseller and VDS provider. I'm sure that backup SMTP is their additional service, not main.
