Finding A Fast Host
May 4, 2008
I have a site that is currently hosted in Australia and loads relatively quickly there , but it is very slow in Uk and France.
Eli kindly set up a trial at blurstorm but I am unhapy with the way it loads in australia which is its primary audience.
how to get my speeds up with the site? ATM there is a 2.8 mb swf file that loads in about 5 sec in aus but about 20 in europe.
Blurstorm is faster in europe(france)but unacceptably slow in Aus.
Is blurstorm considered fast servers on their reseller plans? Or do I need to upgrade my expenditure to get what I want?

I were already at two paid hosts and had no good experience.
Then I have tried a few freehosts and saw a lot of rubbish.
I searched and searched, chatted to support chats of hosts - but no luck yet!
then I came here and now I ask you to find a right (US) hosting service...
First I tell you what site I have, that you can truly estimate:
I have a private website and on it are many photoshop pictures for the design of my website (15kb-200kb per picture).
I offer 3D models for binary downloading in zip files (filesize
1 MB - 15 MB each). I need html, php, SSI, mysql, phpmyadmin, .htaccess and cpanel. I have alexa tracking, google ads and few other javascript tracking providers on my site which are loading heavy according to my former hosts opinion. I have few banner ads, popups, flash animations, the usual things on a site that it looks good to gamers.
Gamers are my main audience.
Diskspace used: currently 500 MB.*
Bandwidth: currently 150 GB / month*
Daily unique hits / pages: 15000.*
* Those values might grow in future.
Optional I have a bb forum for responses and questions installed, but I would reduce to HTML only, if it would be needed.
One host kicked me out without warning because of bandwidth / CPU, before I have used the bandwidth limit specified in my hosting plan.
Another one threw me out without notification because of 'abuse of server resources', whereby the reason or script has been not specified.
In both cases I have no clue what I had to do about.
I have only HTML, a MYBB, pictures, javascript, one database
and lots of traffic ofc.
Now I need a host who is willing / able to host that.
It's a private non-profit site, so the costs should be adequate.
I think I'm unable to go dedicated by fees, it should be still shared hosting.
My competition has similar sites, even larger. They host for free or for shared fees. I cannot ask them and didn't find out where they would host.
A domain I have already. Need just the DNS servers to point to a new host.

Currently have the following and pay $134 a month:
OS: CENTOS 4.7
Hardware: AMD HP A64 4200 DC/2GB/250GB SATA
Bandwidth: 1500GB
Control Panel: cPanel + Fantastico
IPs: 5 Useable
Location: US
I don't like my host, and would like to move to a similar price point with a new host. I am capable of managing almost all aspects of my server, only the initial configuration of things like PHP sometimes throw me.

I know everyone has to make a living, I get that. But I am having a hard time wrapping my head around why I must pay $15 per month extra to a host for ram upgrades to the dedicated servers I am pricing out. Seems like a nickle and dime thing to me.
I don't understand how people can charge like they do. I suppose if your not on contract that they have to cover their ends but maybe I am just missing the point or looking for too good of a deal.

I am planning on starting a file/image uploading website using a custom script I wrote.
I was wondering if anyone who has had experience with these kinds of sites before could give me some info on the bandwidth usage, disk space, ect. And what kind of package I would need. I was thinking of a VPS?

Is there a webhost fast enough for providing large files (2.5GB +, going up to 10GB + larger) on my website to users worldwide?
At the moment my website is hosted in the UK and it seems to deliver download speeds of around 650kbps if only one person is downloading at a time. I have tried other web hosts, and their download speeds are never advertised, but have turned out to be even less in practise (e.g. 150kbps)
As I'm hosting large files (e.g. 1GB - 2.5GB - 8.5GB or more) on my website, I need something with unlimited speed. i.e. so that the download speed is limited only by the end user's connection.
Is there anything like this out there? I realise the files are very large in size, but I'd rather keep the process electronic than mail out hundreds of DVDs all the time.

fairly strong dedicated server probably minimum of a single processor dual core, preferably a quad-core and around 2GB+ RAM. I don't mind a metered bandwidth plan and I don't have a preference on how much bandwidth is provided but I need a fairly solid and fast network. I looked into midphase and I their plans look attractive but I've heard bad reviews on them on it being unreliable, unreliable support, and a slow network. I also recently used zenex5ive and I wasn't too happy with their network either. I've looked at a bunch of providers but I can't figure out which ones would suit me best. Anybody have any suggestions that you think would match my criteria? I mostly need the specs above and a fairly fast network with good pricing...

Somebody posted a video in my website which got viral. Many big websites (like gizmodo) embeded it and I've maxed out my 100mbit/s connection. Traffic is increasing and my website started crashing.
I want to move that video to other server ASAP so my website would stop crashing.
Do you know any host which would set up server or VPS fast (up to 1-2 hours)?

I currently run a website which is hosted with storminternet.co.uk and, while I can't fault their reliability, the (lack of) performance is undermining the usefulnes of the website.
Key features of the website are:
- completely MySQL/PHP driven so the host needs MySQL support and processor power . Some of the MySQL queries are fairly complex and call upon multiple tables of large datasets.
- monthly bandwidth is much less of an issue than speed (if that's not an oxymoron) as the number of visitors is currently <250/day.
- most if not all of the visitors are from the UK
In terms of budget I would be willing to go £150+/year if the service was top quality.

for a linux web host that has extremely fast mysql connections, 100GB of bandwidth, and the amount of space has to be at least 1GB. Price doesn't really matter.

Who knows a good host that offers PHP5, mySQL 5, and at least 1 TB of hard drive space for a cheap hosting account.
I am setting up a digital asset management tool and I need alot of hard drive space for a few of users to be able to download large image files.
Which is why i need massive amounts of hard drive space.
If anyone knows of anything, please PM me or post it here. I will be checking this thread periodically.
OH and by cheap I mean less then $100/month.
I would guess the server could be either VPS or Shared or if you know of a dedicated server company, then that would be awesome too.

Response time from my web server (running LAMP) was really slow this evening. mpstat showed nothing, CPU hovered under 5%, mem usage around 25%, iowait minimal. mysql processlist was mostly idle, no slow queries logged. Only other thing I can think of is the connection from the host itself? (Not my local connection as multiple users complained about slow performance.)
Concurrent users was higher than average, but shouldnt this manifest itself in higher CPU util?
My question was, is there something besides network latency I could be looking at? If it is network latency, what's the easiest way for me to confirm this? A simple ping?

I'm doing some research into EU data centres and was trying to find a list of good, reliable centres that offer good speeds to, and around, the whole of Europe - especially the UK.
The provider we currently use is LeaseWeb (NL), who have been very good, however, due to their servers being a very specific specification and currently not what we're looking for, we are looking for a good replacement.
I don't think I would like a centre that is located in the UK, whilst it would be better for us, it would not benefit all of our customers - a host somewhere in the middle would do great.

This is my second time finding for a shared hosting. I am with ASMALLORANGE now, not that happy with it. I will post a review later on.
I need to host 3 sites, A static website; two wordpress.500mb space;
10gb bandwidth;
5 or more each for add-on domains; subdomain; email; sql etc.
Prefer to pay around $7USD. A buck more is alright.

as you can see on my status2k 3306 is not my mysql port number. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I don't remember changing it and my host will not help me figure out what it is.
I have root login and it's running centos and cpanel.

to fire up a P4 in California to target Asia. GBLX or Sprint or AT&T transit is a must. The usage for this server would be a ~7mbps average with 5 hour daily bursts up to 20mbps(comes out to around 2300GB).
PacificRack seemed perfect for my needs, but won't answer sales emails...I've read good things, but i'm worried about signing up.
My budget is around $200, this shouldn't be a problem right?

See attached screencaps for load problem. I'm the only user on the machine and only run gallery2.
First response from support:
#########################
Load averaged is calculated by the number of processes that want to run / over how much CPU time they want.
On a multi processor box, you need to read load with a grain of salt.
A load of 4 on a box with 4 cpus is the same as a load of 1 on a box with a single cpu.
A load of 8 is not high enough for me to freak out on a 4 cpu box. I would up the limits of the stats processing in statistics configuration.
###########################
I replied:
Did you guys make any changes after my ticket? Load dropped, but the server was responding slowly, and when I clicked on apache status in WHM it said unable to process. I restarted apache via WHM and that error went away. Right now it says:
Server uptime: 59 minutes 34 seconds
Total accesses: 187164 - Total Traffic: 65.0 MB
CPU Usage: u641.12 s66.88 cu0 cs0 - 19.8% CPU load
52.4 requests/sec - 18.6 kB/second - 364 B/request
150 requests currently being processed, 0 idle servers
The gallery is performing faster since the reset.
Two questions:
1) Right after the reset the server load as reported by WHM jumped from 1 to 10 (where it remains) why?
2) When I see the load spike, say to 30, how can I figure out the cause? The load as reported by WHM might already be divided by four processors because when I put the gallery on a single core server, load jumps to 50+
They replied:
##################################
I didn't see any changes to the configuration, I have however made some of my own changes to the configuration at this time to better cycle connections :
root@ [/usr/local/apache/conf]# diff httpd.conf httpd.conf.bak.fmerrill
107c107
< Timeout 60
---
> Timeout 300
126c126
< KeepAliveTimeout 5
---
> KeepAliveTimeout 15
142c142
< MaxSpareServers 20
---
> MaxSpareServers 10
148c148
< StartServers 10
---

157c157
< MaxClients 350
---
> MaxClients 150
173c173
< MaxRequestsPerChild 5000
---
> MaxRequestsPerChild 0
####################################
Support didn't give me much info, how do I find the cause of the load - looks like httpd - should I switch to a company that can install apache2 w/cpanel 11, which is multithreaded and could make better use of the 4(?) processors? Why did the load jump back up to "normal" after restarting apache?

You use "top", you see an Apache PID using 100% CPU - how do you find out which page it's displaying, basically anything to work out what's causing the problem?
The "top" display is great, but it's only a starting point.

I got a cPanel notification that one of my client's had exceeded their bandwidth and so the site was down.
Checking, I found in AWStats that nearly 400+ MB was web traffic. It looks normal to me. However, AWStats simply grouped them all together under 'Others' without providing clear details.
Is there any other way I can find out what made up that 400+MB traffic?
