Alternative To CRON As A Script
My webshosts don't offer CRONJOB's as standard. If I want to add it my hosting goes from £19.99 per annum to £89.99 would you believe!
Is there another way I can run scheduled jobs? Is there a PHP-script someone knows about?
Increasing my costs by 75% a year isn't feasable...

Alternative To Rackspace
Good morning. I have been a customer of Rackspace for approximately 2 years. I love their level of service. However, I'm paying $475 for a dedicated server with the following specs: Single AMB Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0Ghz, 1B RMD, 80GB HDD Are there less expensive alternatives that provide similar level of support as Rackspace?

Rackspace Alternative
We are a web design firm and we provide hosting for our customers who design their websites with us, we do not promote ourselves as a web hosting company. We are in the market for years and the most thing that confuses us is the hosting problems. Server problems when occur take all of our human resources (we are a small company) and that affects our other (main) work which is web development. We've tried a lot of reseller then VPS providers, each provider will experience some problems even after a long time of stability. Sorry for the long introduction but it was necessary to let you know what exactly I want. I know Rackspace from a long time and I was happy when I found out that they are providing a new service (mosso.com) especially for web design firms, they provide 80 GB of disk space with their zero-downtime network and other cool features for $100 monthly which I think is very affordable compared with Rackspace's reputation even it's more than what I pay for my current provider but I'm really looking for stability that makes me concentrate on designing and programming. The problem is that they told me that their customers must have a U.S bank account which we don't have. Can you suggest companies that provide same quality services with affordable prices (reseller or VPS)

Rackspace Alternative
I run a company in the UK that has about 10 dedicated servers, such as db and web servers. I also have a SAN device with data of around 1.3tb Been a customer with rackspace for last 3 years and am now shopping around for better value for money. With rackspace you pay a premium for support but the charges are becoming astronomical and I also feel that they dont look after you concerning price after becoming a customer. Is there a rackspace alternative that can cope with 4tb of san data, 100mb unmetered and unlimited bandwidth running on an internal gigabit network? I am looking at the higher end bracket and dont mind the solution being hosted in the US or UK.

The Planet - What's The Next Best Alternative
I've had my servers with The Planet for years. Used to be really happy with them. Ever since the merger, they seem to have deteriorated over time. Recently, I find the level of support to have become poor. The redeeming quality is that they have had outstanding uptime over all of these years, and they are always there if you need them in a true emergency - in other words, they always pick up the phone. I need a company that is comparable in their level of staffing and resources. Who out there is comparable, yet providing better support and overall attitude these days and for the long-haul?

SMTP_BLOCK Alternative
Tried to search a bit, I may have the wrong keyword, but didn't find anythings... I wish to block scripts to send outbound mail without going into my SMTP (so I can scan them and block them). I cannot block outbound port 25 and since I'm into a Virtuozzo VPS, I cannot use SMTP_BLOCK. What can I do? I'm using CSF and MailScanner.

Barracuda Alternative
We currently are using Barracuda solution for our spam filtering for managed hosting clients and a few shared hosting ones that took advantage of our promotion. However we are now in the situation of the filter dropping the ball and queuing up emails during business hours and are currently looking into two options for replacement as Barracuda support teams is unable to help. Delay'd email generally isn't an issue but we have some high profile clients who's primary business runs on email and a delay'd email for 12 hours could cost them tens of thousands of dollars. We are throwing around the idea of deploying our own spam/email filter on a BSD platform or an alternative hardware spam filter. As this will give us more freedom but less enterprise support. Was wondering what anyone has dealt with that they could give there reviews on. I know there are a handful of similar solutions out there I just want reviews and pro/cons to them as we cannot deploy an untested solution and want to get into the testing stages very soon.

Alternative To DG31GL Or DG35EC

Alternative To CookieHost For Portfolio
I was using the $5/year mini plan for CookieHost the past year, but the deal is now dead for me (if anyone knows how to re-sign up, please let me know!) and looking for another, similar shared host. As a graphic artist, I'm mainly hosting my artwork (all JPEGs, and 2 min QuickTime demo reel) in an HTML/CSS gallery. Needs: * 100-150MB space * 1-2GB bandwidth * FTP and cPanel * 1 or 2 e-mail accounts Price Range: $10 - $22/year MAX Filled out the "Request a Quote" and am awaiting a response. In the meantime, I've been looking at the following and hoping maybe someone can vouche for them: HostPinoy, HostPC.com, SearchItUp Thus far, these seem to have decent or better reviews over at WebHostingStuff.com with good up-times. If anyone can recommend me something similar to CookieHost, not listed in this post, I'd love to hear about it!

Alternative To DebugDiag On Windows
Are there any alternatives to debugdiag for analysing IIS processes on IIS6/W2K3 servers? I have a server with 150 sites experiencing intermittent CPU spikes and can see that the problems lies somewhere in the w3wp.exe process but I don't have the know-how to drill down into the output from an IIS/COM+ hang dump. Or is there anything that could make these logs more human readable?

Alternative To URL Redirects
I have a question concerning the redirection of URLs. One of our customers has 1 main website (www.x.com) and many subsites (www.y.com, www.z.com etc.) which all end up at the same IIS instance. There, a CMS picks up the URLSs and directs them to the place the user requested. Now, our customer wants all subsites to enter at the main site/subsite, instead of letting the routing be done bij the CMS. One solution would be to let our DNS hoster put URL redirects on all subsites. This however is not a valid option for us, since it's untransparant to us. Another option would be to create a separate IIS website for every subsite and redirect these sites to the main site/subsite. That would mean redirecting www.y.com to www.x.com/y and www.z.com to www.x.com/z. This is not a very professional solution though.

Pair Network Alternative
some reliable alternative, located in the same features and price range as pair networks does (pair.com), they offer multiple domain hosting on a $18/month, with a $15/month if you order annually. so any alternative to that? I need multiple domain hosting, and good servers. in example ICD Soft is a decent host but they offer 1 site per a client. Is it correct that i would rather get good and reliable shared hosting, over a bad and cheap VPS?

Alternative To The Planet That Is Reliable
I've been with the Planet for four years and have been absolutely delighted with their service. Yet, I'm wondering if I should move elsewhere. Why? Mostly for one reason: four years later, my now aged Celeron 2.4 GHz system still has the same monthly cost as it did four years ago. I'm not looking for them to give me a better price on that system, but I'd like to upgrade to the "modern equivalent" of what that system was in 2004... looking at plans on their site, one might expect that for each price point the servers would have changed over the years, but my server is still the one that fills my price point. The Planet seems to have completely ignored having their low end line evolve as old technology fades away, new technology comes into play and things like hard disk prices have plummeted. For what I might have paid for a Celeron 2.4 GHz computer from Dell four years ago, I'd now end up with a Pentium or better (e.g. Dell's cheapest system comes with a 2.0 Ghz dual core Pentium and a hard disk 3x larger than my 80 GB one). So, I'm looking for suggestions. Hosting is something I do on the side as a service to my web design clients. As such, I want something reliable (like the Planet has been) but I cannot at this point justify something where my end cost with server, cPanel, etc., costs much more than $110-$120. Features I have and would like to keep: 1.) 24x7 tech support (obviously) backed by an high availability SLA 2.) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.) cPanel/Fantastico 4.) Server monitoring/basic management (the Planet will reboot the server for me if one of its four or five vital services go down and they'll take care of kernel upgrades -- nothing else)

Cpanel Backup Alternative
to backup a site from another hosting company who has disabled the cpanel backup button. I emailed them and ask them to enable it , they said it will take up a lot of processor utilization ... even for 1 cpanel account. AND... if I really need the cpanel backup, I have to pay $30 USD per backup! That's really strange. Never mind that, I was thinking any other way I can do this? I dont have SSH , no putty, just FTP, which I am a bit skeptical when it comes to downloading large qty of files. Any php backup script which I can use to trigger the cpanel backup or just do a zip file with the whole home directory

Virtuozzo SLM Method Alternative?
I run special software that is similar to a gaming server. It operates mostly in SWAP memory because 99% of the time its idling. Each instance uses about 5MB of physical memory and 50MB of SWAP memory. So I am using about 2000MB (2GB) of SWAP memory and 250MB of Physical memory. To my understanding, most Virtuozzo VPSes count SWAP memory as apart of the burstable memory , so finding 2GB of burstable is not likey or cheap. Virtuozzo with the SLM method of handling RAM seems to be my only option because it allows for no set limit of burstable RAM. I am wondering if there is any other method or technology that could allow me to actually use high amounts of SWAP memory, as it should run from the hard-drive, not taking up the faster physical memory. I am currently consider XEN servers, but I was unsure if they could handle the SWAP I need, I emailed Ray at BigVPS.com and he stated his XEN servers can handle my requirements, but would need an extra $5 for the extraneous SWAP usage. Is it true XEN can handle what I need?

GoDaddy Masking Is Killing My Site - Alternative?
So we've got a client setup with 2 domains; 1 main and 1 secondary. The secondary domain is a 301 redirect with masking through GoDaddy. The reason for the masking is because we need the domain name to stay the same after the redirect. (So people who come in on DomainB will only see DomainB in the url bar.) The problem: GoDaddy has uses a "zero frame" element to implement the masking and it's messing up the display of our site. Note: The display only screws up in IE. Primary domain: www.BristolCountyWomensJournal.com --> (This works fine.) 301 domain: www.WomensJournals.com --> (Check out the messy background!) Anyone know of alternatives to Domain Masking?

Private Server Hosting - Ecatel Alternative
Recently I've had a very large private server hosted on ecatel's services with a buddy of mine the reason we decided to go with them is because they're very friendly with abuse reports and false ones as well. Considering we have some major competition we always get false ass abuse reports and need any alternative weather it be actually in the US or offshore doesn't matter but we're looking for a relatively fast network that can stand a lot of connections. We're also looking for some at least reasonable prices... With the ability to link the two servers we require together internally to improve latency between the two as one is our MSSQL system the other provides access to the actual worlds for the game.

Softlayer Alternative? East Coast/Dallas Or EU
Ive recently been getting blips on my private lan with SL and have been unable to get it resolved. Everything from firewall configs (despite its not being changed in 6 months) to the fibre being dirty and switch flapping has been blamed so being in this position and going in circles for 24 hours means I'm considering alternatives. The issue would be so bad but the issue is on the 16 core box used for the DB and it uses the iSCSI which means the data is enjoying itself getting corrupted. It wouldnt be so bad if after I'm told its fixed, repair the DB it happens all over again. So bascially this is what I need elsewhere 1x 4 Core Harpertown 4GB and 500GB in Raid 10 1x 4 Core Clovertown 4GB and 250GB in Raid 5 3x 4 Core Clovertown 4GB and single disk 1x Opteron Dual Core 2GB and single disk 1x 15 Core Tigerton 16GB and 250GB in Raid 10 or iSCSI Bandwidth around 10TB a month Id need a private lan and really I would rather a 1GB port on the private side. To get away from the problems im having I would also rather a dedicated switch as to avoid the kind of issues im having now

Apple Xserver Raid, Alternative, And Colocation
I'm thinking of getting the Apple Xserver RAID. Cost: $14,748.00 Dual-channel 4Gb Fibre Channel PCI Express Card 10500GB ADM (14x750GB Ultra ATA) 2x512MB RAID Controller Cache Redundant power & cooling Dual RAID controllers Remote management & monitoring What I really want to do is. Host anime for download for a monthly fee of about $10.00. I'm currently deployed in Iraq and have been saving up my money. I can get this for a little cheaper with a 10% military discount. I will need to find somewhere to colocate it. My question is what do you think of this server and is there a better alternative that I can build for cheaper. I really like apple products and don't mind spending the money on it. Does this sound like a bad idea? I figure if I get enough members the server will pay for it's self over time. What would be a good place to colocate so my members would get good download speeds? Can I start a small business and get this server that way with taxes or something? Like a media business or something?

Alternative To RAPIDSWITCH - Or Any Provider With Burst Bandwith Beyond 100mbit
I have specific request. I have client that use around 6-8 TB per month of traffic (nothing unusual really). The issue is that, at some short hours per week (twice or less per week) - burst goes to 90 Mbit. So basicly, I need a solution, where in near future, if need it - burst can go all the way up to 130-150 Mbit when need it. Any Gbit providers I seen, they usual say like speed will be around 80mbit or so - and that makes no difference. I did check RAPIDSWITCH, and in all aspect they ar great (nothing to complain) - but the offer they have with 10TB data, is good only unless you pass 10TB at some point. After that, 1 TB of data is $200 or so (depens on exchange rate of $). At the moment, 10TB of data transfer should be enough but if by some chance, it goes beyond that, it will incresse the cost alot. Hosted content is pure FLV files, normal videos, nothing special. My budget is in normal range, but still the less is better. I will take any suggestion on this, or if someone can push me in some direction (company or point of contat).

Remote Cron
I've just noticed that many people may have a free remote cron facility without realising it. If you have any domains registered with Godaddy, you get free web space that includes a cron facility. It only runs every half hour, but you could set six jobs at 5 min intervals to get an effective 5-minute poll, which is good enough for many purposes. You could use it to check uptime on another site, for example. Has anyone tried this?
