View 4 RepliesWe are nearing the end of our contract with cogent and are deciding whether to continue with them. Bandcon has recently (within a last year or so) established its presence in NYC metro area.
Who would you choose among the two? Please give your input and evaluation of the two networks.

Their offering looks interesting, at least in the paper/web.
They seem to suupport SQL Server 2005 Reporting services
and allow the installation of custom dll components
considering buying a UK VPS with VT6 as there service looks impressive and support is top notch and they seem knowledgeable
Has anyone else got any experiences with VT6
experience with connexions4london as an IP transit provider. We are looking for dual 100Mbit (commit) connectivity in Telehouse East and their pricing and response time on the quote was very good.
Any feedback on their tech support and network will be greatly appreciated. Any other options (good network/price)
They are sure running some great specials right now but sometimes things aren't as good as they seem. Any experiences from people especially on their management services & such from users who have had them (or used to have them) for some period of time (not brand new or short-time users--- unless the short time was due to very bad experiences from the start).
And please-no "secret reps" telling me how great you are, would like some actual user experiences. Have been very happy with the same provider for over 6 years but their pricing is not reflecting the current trends in server technology & I'm growing tired of "negotiating" (old tech at new tech prices) so I've been looking for some options for the first time in years.
High-end users preferred (quads-dual quads etc.) but mainly want to know if they live up to their management & security promises (response times SLA, tech knowledge, etc. for "fully managed".
I would be interested in hearing thoughts on your experiences with Installatron. Is the availability of this something that you put a lot of value in when choosing a hosting provider?

I want to know if anyone has experience with dedicated servers and the ms exchange services provided by Coreix.net?
Is a reliable company?
Does it has a full time staff with "real" engineers and a good support?
And about the network and datacenter?
A few month ago I needed some Windows VPS server and checked out WHT.
Apparently some folks recommended VPSLand and I thought it would be a good choice. Well after a few weeks with them I decided to move to another firm, because their Support is worse then I have ever seen with any hosting company.
It takes days to get an answer and in one occasion i even had to cancel the server since they couldn't get it to work again
Then yesterday one server went offline and after waiting a half day on support I received an email telling me that the server was online since months.
Then the hit today was that they just shut down one of the server cause he would use to much CPU
The thing which puzzles me is that they shut it down without notice and have me, the client, figuring out why i can't login
Long story short. I will move all my server to another company and can only recommend you to stay away from those guys.
I'm a longtime lurker and finally decided to register today. This place has been great for hosting info., etc.
I've been piggybacking on a friend's Mosso hosting account for about six months. That is, I pay a % of the $100 full-account price, as I haven't needed the full allotment of space, bandwidth, etc.
While I like Mosso and especially the simple control panel, etc., it seems like they've had a tough run of stability problems lately. Other than a couple instances of my site taking a few seconds to load, I haven't been impacted myself (that I can tell).
HOWEVER, I've noticed Mosso very recently has changed the format of their Status blog by eliminating the archives and only showing the latest post or two. This tells me Mosso is concerned with the number and length of outages they've had lately, as it's no longer possible to review recent downtime issues as it was for most of the past few years. (I was watching Mosso long before switching to their hosting.)
Further, maybe I'm just paranoid, and it seems like others would be complaining if it's true, but lately I've suspected some email is going AWOL. There have been several instances lately when I've checked my email after a day or two and noticed 10- and 12-hour gaps with no emails (not even spam). I've also had weird stretches where I've sent emails to a dozen people but only received replies from half of them. (These are friends and business associates; people from whom I'd expect a 95% reply rate.)
After a lot of comments, and especially complaints, on this board over the past couple years, it seems like Mosso rarely comes up here anymore, which seems like it should be a good thing. I'm curious if others here have had recent experience with Mosso and, if so, if they've had any problems.
This thread is mostly for me to keep track of how things go with this host and hopefully to benefit any others that might be thinking of hosting with them in the future.
I'm going to try and keep my interactions with this host updated here over time.

3:35pm
Checked my email for order confirmation. I'm happy to see my site has already been provisioned! The email states that it might take longer (up to the previously mentioned 24 hours) for some of the upgraded items to take affect, I'm ok with this.
The email also contains all of the information I need to get things going, IPs, URLs, etc.
I'll update again later with any new information.
Does anyone have any experience with them? I am deciding whether or not I am going to get hosting from them. If anyone can recommend anything else I only need these. About 1GB of space and maybe 10-20gb of bandwidth. It will mostly be for photography but later on in the year I will have to host some songs and approx 50 people will be downloading 10 songs each.
View 14 Replies View RelatedCan anyone let me know their opinions on Voxel/Voxrox?
I am specifically interested in hearing from people who have direct experience with them, not just "I've heard they're really good". Have you experienced many outages and how is support for you?
Please also mention whether you have used / are using their managed or unmanaged option.
I have used the search but it's rarely clear whether people are using the managed or unmanaged service when they give their opinions.
Does anyone have experiences with justhost.com?
I searched for them here but couldnt find anything...
I just visited their livechat but there only seems to be a bot running...?
Does anyone have any experience with these guys?
They have some good deals here: [url]
But of course, you get what you pay for...
I'm interested in their dedicated server offer..
Who can tell me the good and bad about this hoster?
i'd also like to know how good their connectivity (bandwith)
i'm thinking to pass to VPSLand. My website has 52'000 views/day and 11'000 visitors/day. I need windows, .net2 and MySQL.
What do you think of them? Their prices are very good and the service looks good too.
In particulare i was interested in the Value plan (29 $/month):
vpsland.com/ezwin.html
Any negative/positive experiences? What about support?
Somebody has a link to a website hosted with them?
I'm interested in knowing what anyone's experience with databasebydesignllc.com has been like. Reliability, stability, download speeds, etc. Positive or negative, if you can provide some info,

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am currently in the process of looking for a VPS or Dedicated Server provider in Canada. I realize that the cost of doing this will be more than having one in the US but I am willing to pay the extra price.
I first started looking at Rackforce and they seemed reasonable but after reading a few things I found iWeb8.com and for about $7CAD more I could get a dedicated server with them rather than a VPS with Rackforce.
Is anyone here currently (or recently was) a customer with either of these companies and can provide some insight into how their service rates? I've read all the posts I could find reviewing them but most of the ones I found were at least a year old. (Although I may have missed some sections somewhere)
Found their name while Google'ing for a budget Xen VPS.
It's been told at their website that they are part of GrokThis.net. As far as I understand, they are not using Dual Core Dell PowerEdge servers (1,2) and they haven't got fancy features like "upload and use your own image" (3) as GrokThis.net. But they are offering really cost effective 64-bit Xen VPS hosting plans (4).
Does anybody have good or bad experiences with this company?How are their network?
Any performance issues? Has anybody done any benchmarks on their VPSs?
How good (or bad) are their support?
Are they offering console login?
Do they have a SLA?

I've seen all the reviews on AIT and their services, but not much feedback on their actual network performance. I'm sure there will be some blasting on this one...
Has anyone had any colo experience with AIT? I am local to them and just took a complete tour of the facilities, datacenter, etc. It looks like a lot of changes are going on, datacenters are getting expanded and upgraded. They even have added a retail area in their facility where you can buy racks, etc.
I know there have been real bad reviews on their customer service with their actual services, but again I am interested in experience with their actual network as a colo customer. The datacenter certainly looked up to par, but their network may be a different story.
I would be very interested in hearing from any current or maybe even past colo customers with them.
We are looking at this software. Seems easy enough, secure enough.
Experiences with Simple DNS Plus?
I'm considering OLM.net and their dedicated server packages. Does anyone have any recent experiences with them and their performance, support, uptime, etc.? The only reviews I seen in here are a few years old.
View 14 Replies View Relatedanyone tried out the free hosting package offered by jump12.com on behalf of Jumpline.com?
It seems like a very good deal, but won't give them my creditcard number unless I'm sure they're the real deal...
Hope this is the right place for this question. I'm interested in hosting with 1and1.co.uk as they are good value and allow multiple domains to be hosted (incidentally, will nosy people be able to figure that the different domains are hosted on the same package?).
Just wanted to hear your thoughts and experiences? It seems cheaper to host on their American site compared to the British site. Am I allowed to do that?
Lunarpages was recommended to me for webhosting. Has anyone had any good/bad experiences with this company? If not, can one recommend a good webhosting co.for a simple ecommerce website?

I can see that have been trading for some time, but that is all I can see!
Does anyone have experiences of what Poundhost are like to co-locate with?
Are they pretty friendly and fulfilling to your requests? Just wanting some general opinions of what they're like in the ways of co-location. I know their network is pretty solid but I've never co-located.
Wanting to offer some services within the UK but considering I live here myself I was thinking of co-locating rather than renting a server. Always wanted to but a lot easier to do so within the UK rather than the US!
