I'm an happy client of HOSTGATOR (until now!)
But for safety reasons and in order to manage the way I want my network of sites, sales pages and blogs, I'm looking for an alternative to HOSTGATOR.
Requirements : same prices, CPanel, Fantastico, adult content allowed (because I'm also into dating)
I am having many accounts with hostgator and have been using them for almost three years now. Their prices are good and service is good also (during the recent 6-8 months).
I am looking for some alternative shared hosting service.
We will need around 15 hosting accounts on different servers, with different dedicated IPs (which should be in different C Class).
For a similar plan (baby) with hostgator, i am spending $9.95 per month. I am looking at reducing the hosting costs.
Cpanel Hosting
Dedicated IPs (in different C Class)
4-8 domains to be hosted
MYSQL and PHP with some basic modules installed
What i am looking for is a reliable company with many servers, on which they can give me
small shared accounts, to host around 4-8 low traffic websites.
I would like something similar to the business package located here:
http://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml
But I do NOT want HG, too many bad experiences.
My only requirements are...
-No more than $15/mo
-Unlimited domains
-At least 100GB of bandwidth a month
-Supports PHP
-Some type of control panel (preferably cpanel)
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
I just got an email from LT, Their price are increased so much..
I've more that 10 servers with them and I think I will move to other provider, If the price and support are better..
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?
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)
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.
I'm on an unmanaged dedicated so i'm trying to figure out how to install a free cPanel so I can set up some mail servers...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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?
Nothing wrong with AP7960. Just wondering if there is other vendors have PDU likes AP7960?

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.
REL (redhat) uses a tool called ntsysv for easy opening ports after reboot.
What does Centos have?
any other way to set this easily?
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.
We have been using BQ Backup for some time now and have been very satisfied with the service for the price. Is there anyone else out there that offers a similar service at a similar price, just feeling that it is time now to move on.

an alternative to SB Eventlog Monitor?
It's a nice thing to see all the eventlogs from several servers in one place but SB EL Monitor is pretty much buggy and so.
Is there a better alternative? I'm looking for something free.
My service at Slicehost recently got very slow so I don't think their network management is the best it could be. So I'm preparing to leave if it remains like this for anymore than a few days. Is there any VPS people could recommend with comparable service catered to developers with an active community and good connection speeds?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWe 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.
does anyone know of a google apps alternative seeing as google apps is no longer free.
View 4 Replies View Relatedan alternative to the Intel DG31GL board for use in the SC512L-260 1U chassis? Or even an alternative to the DG35EC?
I believe the DG31GL is not available any longer, and I'm looking for something a little more economical than the DG35EC for some budget builds that require only 4 GB RAM.
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?

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!
I am using BQbackup since 10 months ago without problems. But in the last 6 days the transference rate is very slow (3kB/s). I already sent some emails to Scott but I dont receive a reply. So I need to have a look in other alternative to store my backups.
View 14 Replies View RelatedAre 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?
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?
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)
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
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...
