I have recently bought a domain for blgos for designers and was wondering what hosting would be best to start of with and which compan to go with.
Shall I start with shared hosting then move to a VPS when needed?
Which company shall I go with?
Are Slicehost good?
Because I have just bought the domain, I won't need alot of bandwidth and space, but I will need to be able to upgrade quickly and easily. Oh, and cheaply.
I will put some advertising on the site so I will get a bit of money from that, but I want it to be cheap as I don't have much money at the moment. I might also have a 'Premium' members part where people get extra disc space, etc. So I will also get money from that to go towards the hosting, domain registration, etc.
We recently began to mirror a large number of open source projects with a dedicated mirror server on our network and I was surprised not only with how popular the mirror server has become, is, but also of the ability of the hardware we're using to keep up with the load.
At an given time, the mirror seems to be pushing at least 50 Megabits of trafficthe server is also an IRC server (irc.igsobe.com) for customers and internal staff communications.
The hardware is a low end Dell Pentium 4 @ 2.66 GHZ server, running with 512MB of RAM and a 400 GB ATA hard drive. CentOS v5.3 is the operating system.
If you're interested, you can view the HTML logfile analysis here but that doesn't tell the full story as FTP users make up a good portion of the traffic. We've received over a quarter million hits in the first few days of November alone.
The only change that I made to the default configuration was lowering the maximum number of Apache servers to 128.
Just thought I'd share this information as I wouldn't have thought a server with such a small amount of RAM would be able to serve up so much data, even though we are talking strictly static HTML files.
I'll definitely keep this in mind when clients ask me for those "what type of dedicated server should I use for XXX" type discussions that are had all too often with clients.
One of my contacts is looking for a domain/hosting server that's cheap (under $15/month total), and reliable (the usual 99.9% uptime). My contact has used Yahoo (paid) before, but wasn't really satisfied by it.
I doubt that the total disc space will go over 1 gig, and PHP/MySQL is preferred, just in case.
I'm having sort of a problem figuring out how to transfer one of my wordpress blogs to another host and was wondering if there is anyone experienced here that could offer their knowledge
Basically I signed up for hosting with 1and1 when I got my first site (I didn't know any better). I created a blog out of that site but now I want to transfer it to another host such as hostgator or what-have-you.
How can I do this without having to start over from scratch and lose everything?
I have been trying to figure out which one I should be using for my wordpress site. I have read some discussion but after reading it all I am on the fence. Will Xcache work with cpanel?
The server is running XEN, with cpanel/whm, php5
The server spec is: 3.0Ghz - 8 cpu's 2048MB RAM, and 2048MB SWAP
I have also heard some people using litespeed server, would this be any good?
First of all, I discoverd this forum during my quest to unravel the mysteries of how my site was hacked. I hope this is an appropriate forum to discuss the issues even though I am not a web hosting provider, but merely a customer of a web hosting company, hostrocket.com
I have an installation of WordPress 2.1 WordPress creates a couple world writable directories such as Uploads and Cache which are owned by nobody. Apparently (according to the tech support at hostrocket.com) someone was able to insert and exectue a php script in my world writable Uploads directory. Over 40MB of scripts, executables and files were uploaded. As best I can tell, my space was being used as some sort of link farm or perhaps acting as a server in my webspace. I do not have much knowledge about these things and consequently can't talk very inetlligently about them. But I am trying to grasp what little I am able to absorb about how this could have happened, what I can do to mitigate it from reocurring in the future.
Some of the stuff that was in the directory is as follows...
So the first thing my webhost had me do was to change ownership of the directories owned by nobody to me. Then I was able to change permissions from 777 to 755. However in so doing, I am no longer able to use the Dashboard of WordPress to upload images anymore, unless I temporarily change permissions back to 777.
The other thing the tech support guy did is to create an .htaccess file with, php_flag engine off I guess this basically renders php scripts impotent from running.
So without flaming me, can you help me understand how someone in a shared server environment is able to put a php script into one of my directories?
What amazed me was this particular script, "99.php" actually when viewed in a browser window titled phpshell was called "c99adult v. 1.0 pre-release build #16". It basically enabled whoever had access to the URL, to view my webspace, and do all sorts of nasty things. Talk about a wake-up call!
Obviously this enabled the hacker to view my config.php file and ascertain my database password and everything else. Whether he did, or whether there is a logfile of that info that could enable him to hack the database at some time in the future is unknown to me but it's really freaking me out.
We need to upload to a virtual server (managed with Plesk 11.5) a Wordpress site developed locally. We made this operations without problems many times on other hostings managed with custom panels, non-Plesk.
On the virtual server with Plesk, however, once the files are uploaded via FTP, the database via phpMyAdmin and updated the Wordpress configuration file, when you go to visit the website, it does not display anything and the browser opens the download window for a text file called "download" that contains the code of the file index.php of WordPress.
Does anyone know any shared hosts that are under $5 that allow for unlimited domains, have a reasonable host space size and bandwidth. Also have good uptime?
I have always taken annual subscriptions out as is eliminates the temtation of switching hosts every time a new deal comes up.
My hosting packages is due for renewal and I need a package that will enable me to host multple domains, apart from that the standard extras cover my needs - SQL/ PHP support etc.
if there were services dedicated to hosting large files.
Basically, instead of those free upload sites (ie MediaFire), it gives a direct link to the file, the file doesn't expire, and there isn't a 100MB upload limit.
Would prefer to have 50GB+ space, and if bandwidth is metered, probably 100GB/month or over.
Obviously, there's no need for any scripting/dynamic content.
Would such a thing be available for around US$5/month?
(Considering that sites like Megaupload can give you 250GB of space with no bandwidth metering for around US$50/year, I don't think it's too unreasonable to ask for something less but with direct links)
Just wanted to ask for any reliable cheap web hosting... they pointed me towards godaddy.com but i am not too sure... i mean i am leaning towards it but... any other sites or recommendations?
Please recommend me a linux & windows (dual) reseller web hosting that is cheap and reliable with automated billing software and anonymous name server along with 2 dedicated IP.
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on good, cheap, ASP.NET web hosting companies preferably in the 5-7$/month range. I have a tiny site, but a lot of email, so having a few gigs of storage space would be nice. Bandwidth has never been an issue in the past, but the more the merrier. Support for the newest .NET stuff would be highly desirable (.NET 3.5, preferably win2008 servers, maybe a MSSQL db?)
Prospective web hosting clients have to understand that there's a clear difference between a cheap hosting service and an affordable one.
For one, an afordable service has to do with the budget of the client, meaning the cient has a an amount he will like to spend on a web host account while a cheap web hosting service has to do with the price of the product in relation with the services offered. For example a shared host that you get for $10 will definitey have more features than a shared that cost $3.99.
You have to know what you want before taking an action that you may regret later.

I would like to suggest visualvps to anyone looking for a vps because they are low priced with what they offer to you, they have alot of different linux server os' that you can choose from when you sign up. They offer cpanel for only $12 extra a month which if pretty good. They have very fast support, when I submitted a support ticket they replied very fast (in like 5-10 min)! I am very impressed with them and im sure anyone browsing this forum would be.
Personally I would give them 5 / 5 stars because they have earned it!
I know you get what you pay for with hosting, but with the ridiculous overselling going on I am finding it hard to work out how much bandwidth I can genuinely expect to get with about 500MB space and 99%+ (preferably more like 99.5%) uptime for $5/month.
I will be using all this bandwidth for hosting legal mp3s (sanctioned for promotional use by labels and artists), and would prefer the host to be based in the US or UK.
I'm about to launch a viral project that has realy good potential to strike it big, but would like to clear a few things first.
I would not like to have it associated with my name - not that it anything illegal, but in real life I'm doing something completely different and on the record would like to keep it that way.
So that probably means keeping the whois private - but I have another question as well. Suppose the project strikes it big - would a diggin journalist be able to still get my name/data from a hosting company too?
Is there a good hosting company with an all-inclusive service that you could recommend (that would get me a private hosting plan + a private domain name/whois)? And that would be reasonably priced of course + more importanty reliable (note have problems if/when there is a massive traffic surge to my site at one point in time)
Would probably take a shared hosting plan - need only PHP and imagemagick to start with. But again - bit part of my concern is what happens if the project makes it big and there is a lot of traffic - so ideally "unlimited" bandwidth and responsive admins...
