Which CA is the most best in terms of security and cost? I know some companies like thawte is a company of VeriSign, but I am just interested in the certificate. I heard that COMODO has a security incident before? Is it true?

I am looking for a VPS to host some personal sites.
Data is very important.
My budget is under 20 dollar per month. DirectAdmin is preferred. ( No lxadmin or webmin)
The VPS provider must be in business for more than 1 year.
Anybody know such a provider?
I look for a reliable provider in NL or DE with support in English.
I need powerful servers (Dual-Core and Quad-Core, Up to 3HDs and "cheap" bandwith price), and in the future the possibility of having private racks.
I have been searching for a VPS provider that gives free WHMCS with the package.
I have seen several of this on the web, but i really want a provider that has its own data center. This is especially important because my few years of experience in the hosting business has proved that providers with owned data center are more reliable.
Who are the most reliable Dedicated/Node Providers? I mean there are the cheap ones like Wholesale Internet and Joe's DC but have they proven to be reliable as well?
View 10 Replies View Relatedfind a hosting provider which will meet the following requirements
1. Multiple sites (more than 6)
2. MS SQL Server 2005 or 2008 (two will be enough may need 500Mb on one)
3. More than one FTP user
4. ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5 Support
5. PHP support also needed
6. $10 monthly (120$/Year) maximum
Supporting more than 2 sub domains on each domain will be an added advantage
What's a reliable method of comparing the network speed between two providers? They often put up a 50MB or 100MB file to download, but I'm not certain how to go about testing their bandwidth.
I can't just download the file from my home connection -- my link is probably capped at 10 Mbps. Is there an external service that I can use?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI found out about downtownhost on here and signed up and am currently using them for one of my websites which is working out great. But I'm looking for another one as well (I don't like to host all my sites with one company).
I looked at iweb but there own site was loading slowly for me so that was discouraging.
Chatted with hostmysite and they made me wait forever and couldn't answer simple questions so that was scary. I currently have 2 sites already with hostgator which has worked out well, but like I said don't want to put all my sites on one host. Looking to get my sites off of dreamhost which I recently (last 6 months) have been having website loading time problems. My sites load SLOW So my once "dream" provider has turned into a nightmare. I also host with lunarpages (oy vey) my site goes down weekly and they don't have phone support on weekends.
Could you please recommend a stable reliable VPS provider that manage Tomcat/JSP fine on cpanel?
I did search and find no suitable one
Can someone please recommend a hosting company that offers 24 hours toll free phone support with very good DDOS protection services?
Our server has been attacked for the past couple weeks and current host can just null route the IP being attacked but cannot offer anything beyond that...which does not help us. We are talking about large 3 GBPS attacks.
I'm looking for the most reliable VPS/network I can get my hands on. I'm willing to pay a premium for 99.999 - 100% uptime. I don't want 99.5, that translates into two or three very painful outages a year.
I don't need a managed system, or any control panel. Debian etch is preferred.
Anyone else out there shopping primarily for reliability?
Just read about some deal they're having where they're selling you a domain and 2 years of unlimited bandwidth hosting for 24 dollars or so. Is this legit?
Is quality sacrificed for this kind of pricing?
I'm currently with downtownhost and they are amazing by the way but if it's that cheap, I might be forced to switch.
I was wondering what some reliable web hosts would be for hosting a website that would provide enough bandwidth to allow downloads of text files and also a forum. I just want something to get started with. However, I want something that is easily upgradeable. TO be honest I just really need the name of a few reliable companies that aren't scams or anything.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been using a Ubiquity VPS for a bit over a year now, and have been generally satisfied, for two reasons:
1) The performance has been excellent. It's still pretty fast considering how much we're using it, and I was able to record just over 200 days uptime.
2) The support seems to be competent and no-BS. Nothing ticks me off more than being lied to, or being told that something that is clearly beyond my control is my fault. While there have been various teething problems (I signed up just before they did a big infrastructure upgrade, and then the whole "someone pulled the plug on the entire company thing".
We're now looking to procure some additional virtual boxes. Not out of any slight to them (primarily to do with SEO, but also a matter of eggs and baskets), we'd like to get them from different firms.
I can generally handle the technical stuff running on the VPS myself, so in terms of ongoing support (once the basic "provision everything, get forward and reverse DNS for the server's IP set up" is done), all I really need is a company that will keep the lights on, the machine plugged into the network, and replace hardware when it fails promptly-- in short, self-managed VPS.
Each one would likely host only a single site, but the sites are apt to be fairly database-intensive. Linux-based.
So what I was thinking, to start with, would be:
* 512M memory
* 20G disc
* 500G transfer
or higher. I'd honestly prefer a bit more memory (the current VPS, hosting probably 75 domains of minor traffic, is a 1Gb setup, and will occasionally breach the red line; I've kept it reined in to 20 simultaneous Apache processes to keep memory use low).
I shopped around a bit, and was able to find a variety of providers offering packages of this size (and frequently larger-- 768M/40G/600G seemed a common size) at about $50-60 per montt.
I'm leaning towards a VPS primarily because of the assumption that the low end fully-dedicated boxes are relatively poor spec-- low permanent capacity (compared to the burst capacity I could get on a decent VPS), and most importantly, no redundant drive subsystem. Data loss is my big fear. That, and really weak performance.
But of course, nobody is going to tell you "Your VPS is on a Duron 750 shared equally between 32 VPSes", "We have RAID. When there's a roach in the lunch room, we spray it." or "We really suck at support and end up taking it out on our customers."
So who can be trusted in those departments?
I'd prefer someone with no-gimmick pricing, because we're researching today but may not provision immediately.
thePlanet just had a huge accident ( explosion ). Does anyone know any other good/not very expensive web hosting company in US?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been doing some research to try and figure out the best host for my ASP.Net website. DiscountASP.Net seems like a very good option. However, I have read about some serious downtime they had due to two DDOS attacks they had. Apparently this brought down all hosted sites for days.
Other than this, DA.Net seems quite reliable. My questions are:
1. Are the DDOS attacks on DA.Net something I should be worried about? They claim to have improved their security, but I wonder why they were brought to their knees twice?
2. How come only DA.Net was attacked on such a large scale twice? Is it a sign that hackers are targeting it?
3. How good is the infrastructure that DA.Net has?
We currently have our sites hosted with 1&1 but after a nightmare of intermittent downtime, poor service and complex setup requirements for basic ASP .NET sites we have given up!
We want to leave the domain registrations with 1&1 as they do that side of things well and I don’t want the issues of moving domains to another provider.
But what we need is a fast reliable host that will allow us to leave our domains with 1&1 and will host our websites, their subdomains (and hopefully emails if possible) with the domains still registered at 1&1.
Also the things we need to resolve from 1&1 are:
1 - using asp or aspx custom error404 pages for all webpages, we can do this for aspx sites though our web.config but all other extensions go to a single .html page (not very dynamic)
2 - different error 404 pages per domain
3 - ability to do extension-less url rewriting in ASPX - we could not do this with 1&1 due to the inability to change IIS settings for the application to forward all requests to the asp .net application
4 - different IIS applications for each domain without requiring a folder in the url, 1&1 require us to move the domains into folders for this to work but moving our domain to a sub folder therefore loosing links to pages in google etc
5 - great technical service and attention to problems
Also all of our customers are in the UK, is there any latency or issues with slow loading using say a US based host?
I am wanting to spend around $60 - 70 a month on a VPS...
I am looking for a reliable source, and one that is on the cheaper side (but I know those two don't actually mix, so reliable more)
It doesn't have to be managed, but it can, so either way.
Any recommendations?
How much disk space/bandwidth should I be able to get with that amount of money?
I need it with control panel, and fantastico at the least.
Just wanted to put a little warning out there for people thinking about ReliableSite.net for hosting. I am a web host and designer/developer and I was looking for Windows hosting for one of my clients (I only do Linux) to host a shopping cart called ProductCart on and after searching in here I found ReliableSite.net. I researched them, they seemed to have a good rep, their prices were great and they said they had ASPImage and ASPUpload installed (which we needed specificlly for ProductCart, I was even offered the most current invoice or something to prove they had it). I talked with the sales guy (Radic) a few times before I had my client order services and a few time after.
Once we started having some problems with things not working correclty it was VERY hard to get ahold of Radic and support tickets were taking longer and longer to be answered.
I really don't remember to many of the eariler problems, they were not a big deal, but we hit a major road block when the feature in ProductCart wouldn't work (the image upload and resize feature that is dependent on ASPImage and ASPUpload being installed).
I finally determined that it was becuase the ASPImage and ASPUpload were not liscened correctly (even though they stated it was before we purchased services). I emailed support they took their time getting back to me, then told me it was setup correctly and it must be something with the program we were using.
After contacting support for ProductCart I found a little tester script they provide to test for what version of ASPImage and ASPUpload are installed. That failed and gave an error number. I forwarded this onto support, they responded and said they would look in to it. I was then told that they had found the problem and it was a billing or provision issue. A few days later I still have not gotten an update nor are the componets working.
I am emailing and emailing them and they are ignoring me. I finally get a response and they say they are working on an emergency server restore and everyone is busy with that, we will have to wait, they say they will have it fixed by the next day at 7pm EST. I wait until after that time period, see nothing has happened, I email them a few hours later I get a response that says they still have hundreds of clients down and cannot do it.
By this time it has been close to a week and no action has been taken. We decided to move everything to yet another host (this will be our 3rd) and we never did get an update about when it was fixed, if ever. I then had to email them one last time to ask for the SSL Cert to be exported, took them 10 days to get that to me and by then I had reissued it.
I am planning to purchase a dedicated server (managed)from burst.net. Anybody having any experience with this company?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhich company provides the most reliable VPS hosting?
By reliable I ALSO mean the following:
short response times for tickets (under 1 hour)
REAL 24/7 support
true 99.9% Uptime
but most of all I would like you to suggest a host that you are 100% satisfied with. I want a really reliable VPS host to move to, besause I have already been very very unsatisfied with my VPS hosting company.
Are there any webhost, besides discountASP.net that offers .NET hosting, and are actively updating their software, SDKs whenever Microsoft releases something new?
I'm looking for a host that offers .NET 2.0, MS SQL 2005, MS AJAX(Atlas) to name a few.
I like what discountASP offers, but it's a bit pricey as I have to pay $10/month for the basic plan, and another $10/month for MS SQL. Somewhere between $10-$15/month would be good.
I am currently with Yahoo web hosting, but I will move to another company because Yahoo does not support PHP 5.
What I am looking before all is a solid, reliable web hosting company:
- a company that will still exist 5 years from now
- a company that will not lose my customers data
(this is the prime reason I was with Yahoo)
Besides that and supporting PHP 5, the only other main requirement is scalability: being able to move easily from shared host to dedicated server.
Money is not a key factor: I am not looking for the cheapest deal.
