Kelsey Grammer is looking forward to celebrating the holidays with his seven children.
The 68-year-old actor, who recently starred in the Paramount+ revival of his iconic sitcom “Frasier,” shared his plans to spend Christmas at home with his family during an interview with Fox News Digital.
“We’re going to be in L.A. We always wrestle with – well, should we just travel? But then, honestly, home is home. And it’s nice to be home for Christmas and to celebrate and sit under the tree and have a fire and all the things we can still do,” Grammer said.
“It’s really lovely,” he continued. “We have a magnificent family. And it’s grown and grown throughout my years. You know, I’m up to seven kids and of all different ages. And it’s fantastic.”
“And if they can all be in the same room together and happy and smiling – nothing makes me happier. That’d be my Christmas present.”
“But, you know, we’ll see,” Grammer added with a laugh. “Some days that doesn’t work out so well. You know, because families are families. But that’s my dream.”
Grammer, who has been married four times, shares his eldest child, daughter Spencer Grammer, 40, with his first wife Doreen Alderman.
He is also father to daughter Greer Grammer, 31, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend Barrie Buckner.
The “Grand Isle” actor has daughter Mason Olivia, 22, and son Jude Gordon, 19, with his ex-wife Camille Grammer, 55. He married Kayte Walsh in 2011. Grammer and the U.K. native are parents to daughter Faith Evangeline, 11, and sons Kelsey Gabriel, 9, and Auden James, 7.
During his interview with Fox News Digital, Grammer also reflected on the importance of faith in his life, and how it has helped him overcome challenging times.
“That’s always been sort of a moving target,” the “Jesus Revolution” star explained. “What’s nice is I lost my faith for a long time. When I was younger. I got it back.”
He continued, “Because God doesn’t give up on you. Sometimes we close, and we just say, ‘I’m not listening. I’m not here for this.’ But then there He is. And that’s been my experience.”
“And I’ve been given great many, many things by virtue of the fact that there were other things more important to me. And the most important thing was a sense of faith.”
Grammer also shared his thoughts on returning to the role of therapist Dr. Frasier Crane after almost 20 years.
The five-time Emmy Award winner originated the role during his stint on “Cheers” from 1984 to 1993 and starred in the hit sitcom’s spinoff series “Frasier” for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004. He reprised the role in the Paramount+ “Frasier” revival, which aired its season finale earlier this month.
“I wanted to prove to myself and to other people, of course, that Frasier was still interesting and still watchable and still funny,” Grammer told Fox News Digital. “Those were important parts of it. But also, I thought there were more stories to tell about this character because there’s more stories to tell in our own lives.”
Grammer recalled that the massive ratings success of the 2018 “Roseanne” reboot led him to think it was time to bring “Frasier” back.

“Frasier certainly is as interesting as the Roseanne character or any number of other shows,” he said. “And I thought, ‘We can find a way for this to happen.’ And we had a sort of ripe field to harvest as we always thought it would be a reflection of the relationship between me and my father, between me and my son. So that was always going to bookend things. And that was the foundational principle we talked to other writers about.”
For the 10-episode revival, Grammer teamed up with showrunners Joe Cristalli and Chris Harris. In an October interview with The Wrap, Cristalli revealed that he set up a parody Twitter feed about getting a job as a writer for the sitcom called “Frasier for Hire.”
Cristalli recalled that his agent sent the Twitter feed along with a “Frasier” spec script that he wrote to Grammer’s producers, who initially rejected his idea for the revival. Cristalli later collaborated on a new “Frasier” pitch with former “How I Met Your Mother” showrunner Harris.
Cristalli told the outlet that Grammer and his producers chose their pitch after sifting through about 30 others.
“They have a kind of silliness that I liked,” Grammer told Fox News Digital of Cristalli and Harris. “I was even drawn to it more because I thought – because in the past we had a kind of sense of how important we were and stuff. I thought, ‘You know, maybe we maybe don’t need to be so important. Maybe we just need to be kind of fun.’ And I think that… we’ve achieved that.
The actor said he also wanted to dispel the idea that viewers wouldn’t be interested in a “Frasier” revival or that fans wouldn’t embrace it due to their love for the original series.
“A lot of people think it’s an untouchable show,” he explained. “There’s a lot of sentiment from some of the past players. You know, it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s a jewel. It should be left alone. You can’t touch it.’ And I don’t think anything is that precious. I just don’t, because I mean, it’s like, ‘Come on.’ He’s a living, breathing character. He’s gone another 20 years. He might be interesting to catch up to. Let’s have a look into his life and see.”
Grammer continued, “And sure enough, he is kind of interesting and fun and still trying because he’s still trying. He’s in it with his whole heart. And that’s how he’s always been.
“I think the audience is always sort of behind the guy that sticks to it, you know?”
Though a second season of the “Frasier” revival has yet to be green-lit, Grammer said that he would be on board to return.
“We’re just kicking it around now,” he said. “I have an idea of what I’d like to do, but we’ll get into stories as soon as somebody says, ‘Please, let’s do some more.'”
Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis will stop sending migrants to New York City, Chicago and other major Democrat-run cities after mayors expressed outrage at the plan in recent weeks.
Polis had agreed to work with local authorities in Denver to help send migrants to their final destinations. While Colorado is not a border state, it has seen a major influx of migrants seeking passage to elsewhere in the country. Mayors Eric Adams of New York City and Lori Lightfoot of Chicago called on Polis to end his assistance last week as their cities also struggle with a surge in migrants.
“People fleeing violence and oppression in search of a better life for themselves and their families deserve our respect not political games and we are grateful we have been able to assist migrants to reach their final destination,” Polis had said of the program. “We refuse to keep people against their will if they desire to travel elsewhere.”
Adams and Lightfoot wrote to Polis in a joint letter, urging him to halt his bussing program after it sent just a few hundred migrants.
“We have seen your statements in the media that you are simply accommodating the wishes of migrants to come to cities like New York City and Chicago,” the pair wrote. “However, you are sending migrants and families to New York City and Chicago that do not have any ties, family members or community networks to welcome them.”
Adams was outraged at Polis’ bussing program during a press conference appearance last week, comparing it to similar programs that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis used to flood his city with some 30,000 migrants last year.
“One time we had to deal with Republican governors sending migrants to New York. Now we’re dealing with Democratic governors sending migrants to New York,” Adams said Wednesday.
“What’s callous is how we have been ignored as a city. And now I have to make tough decisions on the resources of New York … it is time for the federal government to step up,” he added.
Adams’ plea for federal assistance comes as President Biden makes his first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border Sunday. The White House also unveiled a handful of policies aimed at stemming the flow at the border last week. They include expanding a humanitarian parole program for Venezuelan nationals to include Haitians, Cubans and Nicaraguans, as well as increasing refugee resettlements.
Biden acknowledged the changes aren’t up to the task, however.
“These actions alone that I’m going to announce today aren’t going to fix our entire immigration system but they can help us a good deal in managing what is a difficult challenge,” he said Thursday.

In a world filled with different web hosting options, VPS hosting has become a popular choice for websites in various categories.
Upgrading to a virtual private server (VPS for short) will drastically improve your site performance if you’re currently on a shared hosting plan.
For those of you who are starting a new site from scratch and expecting tons of traffic from the beginning, getting a VPS hosting plan out of the gate is a viable option as well.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of web hosting providers on the market today. That’s why finding the right web hosting plan for your site can be such a tough decision. Fortunately, you’ve come to the right place—this guide will provide you with everything you need to know about VPS hosting.
As previously stated, the list of web hosting providers is seemingly a mile long. But in terms of actual contenders, there are a couple dozen at most. When it comes to VPS hosting, specifically, the list is even shorter.
But as you’re shopping around and evaluating different VPS hosting providers, these are the factors that you’ve got to take into consideration:
Site Performance Metrics
Site performance needs to be the top priority for everyone seeking a VPS plan. The term “performance” can be pretty subjective, but there are two metrics that matter the most:
Uptime
Speed
Most people searching for a VPS are upgrading from a shared hosting plan that they’ve outgrown. Uptime and speed are the first two things to be affected when you’re sharing server resources with other sites.
You want to make sure that your VPS plan can accommodate your traffic needs. If performance is affected at scale, then you need to look elsewhere. Lots of web hosting providers will give you a guaranteed uptime rate. However, those offers typically come with some contingencies (like planned outages).
Some sites can’t afford any downtime or slow loading times. If you fall into that category, make sure you get a premium VPS plan. For those of you who would rather save some money, just know that your site performance might be affected.
Dedicated Resources
Technically speaking, you’re still sharing server resources with other websites on a VPS hosting plan. However, the number of sites on the same main server is much lower compared to shared hosting. Plus, each virtual server will have its own dedicated resources.
As you’re evaluating plans, consider the following:
RAM
Storage
Bandwidth
CPUs
These resources will have a direct impact on your site speed and uptime (mentioned previously). If you’re maxing out your resources, you can’t expect your site to run at peak performance.
Optional Root Access
Not everyone needs root access. This feature only really matters if you’re a developer or need the ability to make custom changes to your virtual server at an advanced level.
If that’s the case, then you should be looking for a self-managed VPS plan. Most people will be better off with a fully managed plan (no need for root access here). It’s also worth noting that you can find fully managed VPS plans with optional root access, but that feature won’t really be utilized by the average user.
Operating System
On the technical side, there are two main options for VPS hosting—Windows VPS and Linux VPS.
A Windows-based platform will provide you with access levels and performance that’s similar to a dedicated server. If you’re on a self-managed plan, you would be able to install common windows databases and applications like Microsoft SQL, ASP, SharePoint, and ASP.NET.
With a Linux VPS, your virtual servers will support web features like PHP, MySQL, and POP3. Since Linux is an open-source OS, these hosting plans are usually more cost-effective. You could eventually convert your Linux server into a Windows server, but doing the opposite would be much more complex.
Customer Service
Customer support piggybacks on our last point, especially true if you’re on a fully managed plan.
You want to make sure that your web hosting provider has your back. What happens if something goes wrong? Who do you contact if you have a problem or question? How do you resolve a time-sensitive issue?
If your site crashes at 10:00 PM on Friday night, waiting to contact a customer support representative at 9:00 AM Monday morning isn’t going to cut it. Look for a VPS provider with 24/7/365 support via phone and live chat.
Features like free migrations from another provider or hosting type to your new VPS plan would also fall into the support category. Some hosting providers are undoubtedly better than others when it comes to customer service.
Budget
The price for VPS web hosting varies significantly from provider to provider and plan to plan. We’ve seen VPS hosting plans starting as low as $6 per month. Other plans start at $250+ per month. Most of you will likely fall somewhere between these two extremes.
In many cases, you can expect to get what you pay for.
If you’re signing up for the cheapest VPS hosting plan that you can find, don’t expect to have extremely high uptime rates and fast page loading speeds. For those of you who want as many dedicated resources as possible, just know that they come at higher price points.
So you’ll have to weigh your performance and resource needs against your budget.
The Different Types of VPS Web Hosting
There are essentially two different types of VPS hosting—managed and unmanaged plans. I’ll explain the differences between these choices below, and I’ll also provide you with more information on alternative options for web hosting (to make sure a VPS plan is right for you).
Managed VPS
If you’re not very technically inclined and don’t have a dedicated IT team, a managed VPS plan is definitely the best option for you. In short, you won’t have to really handle anything on your own. You’ll be able to just focus on running your website while the hosting provider takes care of the server behind the scenes.
Here are a handful of examples of what most VPS hosting providers will do for you on a fully managed plan:
Set up the server from the start
Install your control panel, applications, and OS
Handle all application updates and OS updates
Server monitoring and maintenance
Automated backups
Security patches
Some providers will offer a little more or maybe even a little less, but this is generally what you should expect if you choose this type of VPS plan.
Unmanaged VPS
An unmanaged, or self-managed VPS, is just the opposite of a managed plan. You’ll be completely on your own when it comes to installing your software, control panel, security, maintenance, updates, and everything else listed above.
If you experience a hardware failure or an outage, don’t expect a ton of support from your hosting provider either. This type of VPS plan is really intended for those of you who need complete customization at the server level.
Self-managed plans are usually cheaper as well since the hosting provider doesn’t have to do nearly as much.
Other Types of Web Hosting
VPS hosting isn’t for everyone. So if you’re new to the world of web hosting, I want to quickly take a moment to explain your other options.
Shared Hosting — Shared web hosting is the best option for new websites that aren’t expecting a ton of traffic. You’ll be sharing resources with other sites on the same server. These plans are cheap, but performance can be an issue. If another site on your shared server has a traffic spike and uses up the shared resources, it can impact the uptime and loading speeds on your site.
Cloud Hosting — Cloud hosting is pretty similar to VPS hosting. Think of this as a hybrid version of a virtual private server. Cloud plans come with several remote servers, each one with different responsibilities. If something goes wrong with one of those servers, the others will pick up the slack and keep your site running smoothly. Cloud hosting is generally cheaper than VPS hosting, and it’s easier to scale resources on-demand. However, customization is limited with cloud plans.
Dedicated Hosting — Dedicated hosting is the top of the line in the world of web hosting. It’s designed for large sites with tons of traffic. As the name implies, you’ll have one server completely dedicated to your website. This also gives you ultimate control in terms of customizations at the server level. Dedicated hosting comes at a higher price point, but the performance is second to none.
With all of this in mind, let’s dive into the top VPS hosting plans on the market today:

The performance of these servers won’t be as high as some of the other plans on our list. But when you’re paying rock bottom rates, top of the line performance probably isn’t your first priority.
Summary
VPS (virtual private server) hosting is an excellent option for sites that have outgrown a shared hosting plan.
Which VPS is the best? Naming just one as the top pick is a tough call. But you’ll be happy with any of the options on this list. Just make sure you follow the methodology described earlier in this guide for choosing the best VPS plan.
For self-managed and managed plans alike, there’s something for everyone on my list.
