I have decided to go with a canadian dedicated for seo purpose's does anyone know where I can find a good server with comparable prices to the US, I have looks and everything seems to be about $100 more then what theplanet offers.
View 14 RepliesCan any one recommend any Canadian dedicated server providers except iWeb? We have already spoken to them and they do not support our preferred server operating system and control panel.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI see lots of folks on WHT selling servers at very reasonable prices (3-500), however, shippping to CanadaLand is often about the same as the server.
With that being said, does anyone know of any Canadian outlets, people, persons, or business that offer used 1-5u servers?
I know Dell and HP are out there, but I am looking for used.
Can anyone recommend a reliable hosting company located in Canada, preferably in Ontario? I am looking to resell hosting to a variety of clients. Excellent customer support is an absolute must. Also need an easy-to-use interface with maybe cPanel, access to eCommerce software, the whole nine yards. I know that NetworkSolutions (U.S.-based) operates in Canada. Anyone deal with them? I do deal with hosting companies in other parts of the world but have some clients who wish to remain domestic.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been happy at site5. Due to the Patriot Act, the stricter Canadian PIPEDA law, and my Canadian residency, I am looking for a comparable Canadian host.
I have a number of domains. My research has not revealed any Canadian hosts that offer something comparable to the convenience of Site5's MultiSite. Looks like to operate multiple domains under a single account in Canada the administration is via subdomains or domain pointers rather than what MultiSite does. Is anyone aware of a Canadian host that offers MultiSite like functionality.
The company and all of its hardware must be in Canada so the data does not become subject to the laws of other jurisdictions.
Anyone aware of a hosting company with all of their hardware in Canada who offers in their basic accounts the ability to host multiple domains without using sub-domains or sub-folders.
I want to host several domains with individual administration and security so that a bad script or hack of one wont affect the other domains.
Hoping to do it with a single account.
We currently have a managed server at a datacenter in Ontario, and the provider had always charged us in USD. This is fine with us, as most of our revenue is in USD and then we're not subject to currency risk.
Now that the Canadian dollar has reached parity and then exceeded the USD, I'm wondering more about this policy. Is it typical that datacenters in Canada price in USD, or is our provider the exception? They list prices on their site only in USD, despite being a Canadian company and only having facilities in Canada.
I am looking for a Canadian host who necessarily have their servers in Canada who offer dedicated hosting and who hosts adult sites. I don't have anything particular specifications as of now since my sites are overall small (1k/day).
View 14 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how many dedicated server companies are based in Canada who do colo or have there own Data Center. I do know iweb is one. There are few more like peer1 and who else is there. I know there is search option but its giving too many results and i have very limited internet connectivity atm
We are looking to add canadian data center in our portfolio as well. And I am in Canada these days on business trip.
I have a questions for you other Canadians out there co-locating machines in the United States. How do you deal with shipping back servers to you that need repaired? I had to ship a server back to me via UPS recently and to my surprise it arrives to me with a $150 COD charge on it. I ended up talking to UPS and it ended up being $50 for brokerage fee's. But I'm wondering if there is any secret some of you are using to get the machines back without crazy border fee's? This is the first instance I've had to ship something back as the provider would not diagnose the machine on site or even help with shipping I had to go through UPS and then had to rely on the provider marking the right reason for shipping which they did not do.

My question is about search engines especially google. My site will be targeting US visitors and I am in the US. When google and other search engines see that my IP address is in Canada will it have any affect on search engine ranking for the regular us google.com? I don't care much about rankings on google.ca since my visitors will mainly be in the USA. anybody have any insite on this? I also want to mention my domain name will be a .com domain
Some information about my forum:
I run a VBulletin forum with - 575,614 post, 14,369 members and 2.9 million page views per month. On average there are 300 - 400 people on the site.
The server right now is a Linux CentOS VPS with 1.1 gigs of memory. The hosting provider keeps telling me that I need a dedicated server.
Question # 1 - In your opinion - do you think its time for a dedicated server?
The server I am looking at has these stats:
E8300
2 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel
Management
The price I was given is pretty good. So the offer is going to be hard to pass up.
Question # 2 - Has anyone here used Future Hosting for their dedicated server solution?
I have an account that is going from a shared hosting account to a dedicated with theplanet and I want to transfer it. Concerns I have is that the site is using an SSL. What things do I need to watch out for when transferring. Since I don't have root access I will have to do this transfer with the account function, correct?
This site has a database and SSL, so I thought it would hopefully be easier to use the cpanel account migration tool
What is the difference between Dedicated Virtual vs Regular Dedicated Server?
Also what are the pros and cons of going with Virtual?
to move from shared windows hosting to Dedicated windows hosting. This will be our first dedicated server and experience with dealing it too.
Someone suggested me Rackspace. But they were charging premium rates 440 USD for entry level windows server.
I use shared web hosting service to get my website online. I'm wondering how many people use dedicated servers or virtual private servers instead and pay from $20 to several hundreds of dollars? Will I face any big problem with shared web hosting package which makes me choose dedicated servers?
View 14 Replies View Relatedi would just want to get your inputs if which server performs faster or better:
VPS running in Core2Quad @ 2.40GHz with 12 gb of ram
guaranteed 1.7 Ghz CPU
guaranteed 1 GB memory burstable to 2 GB
170 GB disk
or
Dedicated server
Celeron 1.7 GHz
1 GB memory
160 GB disk
What would you classify this as? Seems like it's the in-between for VPS and dedicated with completely reserved resources and much higher storage capacities than VPS can offer.
Personally, if it runs a hypervisor or container is a VPS but this sure does blur the lines a bit.
I am currently using a shared hosting but due to increasing traffic and server load my existing host is not able to provide reliable services and I am planning to upgrade my hosting service.
While I was searching for Dedicated Servers, I learnt about Virtual Dedicated Servers but I am not very sure about their reliability? Are Virtual Dedicated Servers useful? My website current serves over 2500-3000 visitors a day resulting in 30,000 pageviews and I am expecting the traffic to grow by atleast 2 folds in the next few months as I start some PPC campaigns and Email Marketing for my website. Can a Virtual Dedicated Server cater such needs assuming my website to be more of less dynamic website written in php?
VPS or Dedicated from SDX
I'm running a Joomla site with about 15,000 page views/day on JaguarPC at present. Its a mainly passive content - no message boards or applications. They disabled my site stating that CPU/Database use is too much. Should I move to a VPS or Dedicated server now ? Budget range $50-75/month.
I am tossing around the idea of moving from my dedicated server to a VPS server. This is due to my ever growing server needs.
Currently, I use a small percent of a $400 softlayer server, about 500gig disk space and 2tb bandwidth. Is this too big for a VPS? Is there anything special I need to take into consideration for the move?
I was also wondering if other VPS's on the same server would slow down mine or if I would just allocated a % witch would be reserved for me.
I know what is a dedicated server and a VPS well everyone knows that but what is a VDS is that the same and a VPS
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a master reseller account with a host and i ordered a dedicated IP address so i can install a SSL certificate, I have not done this before so just wanted some info.
Its been over 24 hours from when my host transfered my IP to my account and my website keeps showing some other website o my laptop and if i check it on 1 of my other computers it shows the WHM & cPanel success page...
i know i have to leave it to set the new DNS etc but should it be showing another website? and how long does it take to set the new IP fully as my email and website is all offline
Why it so expensive?
View 14 Replies View RelatedSelf-explanatory title, I think.
Besides that, do you recommend dedicated ip to be bought along with host?
I'm just wondering what the prices are for lower end dedicated servers and how many websites you can fit on them?
(lets say each website is a small 5 to 10 page website with 200 meg space usage and 1 to 2 gig transfer per month)
I'm currently using reseller but once my client base is built rather than buy 5 or 6 reseller plans, I thought it'd be logic to simple upgrade to a dedi.
I know VPS are used for name servers and whatnot, how do they compare with low-end dedicated servers?
I'm in the middle of deciding on the hosting I'll use for a site I plan to launch in a month or so. The site is a web app built on Drupal (mysql 5 / php5). It is somewhat resource intensive, as thousands of rss and csv files are updated almost constantly. My last site I hosted across two VPS's, one for the DB and one for everything else. My main concern is scalability - being able to handle whatever is needed.
So I'm looking for some advice on what to do, trying to get the most power, and best scaling options - while trying to keep costs down. I can get a fairly powerful dedicated, fully managed, from liquidweb for around 230/mth. At that price, I thought maybe it would be better to have two VPS's. My experience in this area is limited so instead of running my mouth perhaps I'll let someone else suggest something..
I have a website with forum that has been doing pretty well. I'm presently using a shared hosting account and am considering moving up to a VPS because of anticipated future growth and the terrible service I have gotten from my hosting provider.
I have a graduate degree in IT but don't work in this field professionally. Because of this, I'm very good at coding in php, html, javascript, etc. but very terrible when it comes to network administration and my knowledge of unix and linux. But I know I can eventually learn. Because of this I already know I will go with a managed plan if I go VPS.
To be honest with you, after studying many posts on this site for the past few days, I was convinced I would go with a VPS account with either Knownhost or Wiretree since they have managed VPS. However, I have seen one post in the VPS Forum here where one person said his site, which included a forum, was on a dedicated server and at times with 100 users logged into his forum at one time his server could barely keep up.
I am presently getting about 2.5 million hits per month (80,000 hits per day) with about 22,000 page views per day. However, I only have about 500 members in my forum and on average only about 30 logged in at any given time. I get about 5000 unique IPs coming to my website each month. My bandwidth usage is less than 20 GB per month. To me it doesn't really seem that I need a dedicated server but my site is growing steadily.
So it made me question my decision about moving to a VPS plan. Maybe I need to consider a dedicated plan?
I have a dedicated server running all my services, including Plesk (WWW, FTP, DNS, etc), E-mail (SMTP, POP, Antispam, webmail) and database (MySQL and SQL Server).
I´m thinking to break this dedicated Server in 4 VPS (** Windows VPS, powered by Microsoft Virtual Server **) to do a better load balance (where a service don’t affect performance of another), increase services uptime (since each of them will be isolated) and increase scalability (since I will be able to move each VPS to Virtual Dedicated Servers when needed - like PowerVPS's PowerXMS plans).
This is what I´m thinking to do:
- 1 VPS for Plesk (WWW, FTP, DNS, etc),
- 1 VPS for isolated web applications (WWW and FTP - no control panel)
- 1 VPS for E-mail (SMTP, POP, IMAP, Antispam and webmail)
- 1 VPS for database (MySQL and SQL Server)
I have some questions about it:
1) Do you think that breaking a dedicated server in some VPS is a good thing? The benefits that I mentioned above are correct (better load balance, increase services uptime, increase scalability)?
2) Do you know what software licenses must I lease to have the Plesk core in a server and the e-mail services on another server? Looking at SWSoft website I found some info about Plesk Expand, but it focused to expand the core of Plesk, having multiple Plesk instances hosting all services in all servers and it require a Linux SO, which I don’t want to have and admin. Do you know how can I separate the Plesk core from the e-mail services in 2 separated servers without having to lease a Linux VPS just to run Plesk Expand?
3) Do you if data traffic between VPSs are metered? (this change from a provider to another?)
4) Do you know if a Virtual Dedicated Server (1 dedicated server running 1 VPS) has significant loss of resources other whena comparaed to a dedicated server?
