Im currently with host gator and have nothing but amazing things to say but i have a music streaming website and its eating up bandwith like crazy but at least the cpu usage of the shared hosting is not that high but i will definitley pass my 2 terabyte mark within the month. My question is even on the dedicated hosting plans on host gator they still dont offer a lot of bandwith so does anyone know any very reliable and good companies that offer a LOT of bandwith for a moderate price. I was looking at liquid web dedicated which offers 3 terabytes as i hear their super reliable and professional
I have a dedicated server with godaddy. Yesterday it went down. I sent a trouble ticket to their support. In 4 hours I got reply saying that everything is fine and server is just experiencing high bandwith. I was able to login to control panel (which is available through different IP address, and I have noticed that my usual 8 gigs a day bandwidth increased to 160 a day for yesterday. I cannot SSH to my server. I cannot access my website via http. I cannot FTP to my server. I cannot do anything. I have submitted another ticket and waiting fro reply.
Any suggestions? Is this an attack? (I feel it is, but not sure) What kind of attack can bring server down, if I have CISCO firewall installed? I am little upset with godaddy, because so far, my server has been down for over a day. Any providers out there, who are more rapid in terms of helping their customers? FYI: I pay them $150 a month.
i am starting a file storage/ sharing website and i need to get a server that offers the most bandwith and HD space as possible
Right now i am looking at midphase or 10tb.com same thing, that offers 250HD space and 10TB of bandwith and other then them i havent found anyone that comes close to that offer.
Other then them does any one have any recommendations on a host that has lots of bandwith and storage. My limit is about 200 a month with simple management prefered.
company that can offer me super fast php hosting. It will be large loads with upto 20 php requests a second, the load is so much that i am currently running mysql on a dedicated mysql server.
My company are looking for a web hosting solution, that can handle sometime spike of 4000 connections at a time and not really a lots of Data transfers. Lets say 150 GB per month.
quality shared hosting solution for a WordPress-powered multi user blog. The blog currently has around 1000 posts, 5000 comments and around 2000 unique visitors every day, but those numbers will grow grow exponentially in future, so the hosting in question needs to be expandable since I will eventually have to move to a dedicated server.
Right now, however, I want a quality US-based hosting company that has good connection to EU, with fast support and basic features: PHP5, MySQL5, shell access, ~10GB HD space and ~50-100GB traffic.
First and foremost I am looking for quality and am prepared to pay as much as $25-30 per month.
I have a dedicated server currently hosted over by Aplus.NET
I have a 3000 GB Monthly Transfer limit and we have been going over this limit for the past few months. This has resulted in a large sum of overage fees.
I am looking to go to another hosting company that is just as good as Aplus.NET, if not better... with a better traffic rate. A friend told me about Choopa.com and I wanted to know how good of a company they were. What are some other top reliable hosting companies with premium servers and that specialize in unmetered bandwidth?
We expect a site on one of our boxes to receive a significantly high level of traffic tomorrow as it is an event that will be covered and has already been covered by the press. The site operator expects > 100,000 hits a second.
It's a PHP page that pulls records from a database and lets people submit a form to insert a record. We have already put a caching script in place so that refreshing the page does not result in doing another database query.
The site was overloading a shared server, and we've moved it to one of our VPS boxes - it's the only VPS on the system at the moment. The box is a Quad Xeon 5410 with 4GB RAM with a 4 10K RPM drives in a RAID5 setup.
I'd like to get your recommendations on how I should approach this problem. I posted this in another part of the forum, but I feel that this is a more appropriate place for it.
Problem:
How to handle large amounts of traffic with for a social network website? If a user uploads a photo or video, how does it become accessible on all of the server? If traffic is expected to be about 500,000 visitors a day, how many machines do you think I should use?
Possible Solution:
I've come up with the following possible infrastructure.
One load balancer. The load balancer has 3 PHP/Apache servers behind it. Behind each of the PHP/Apache servers is a (slave) MySQL server, from which data is read. Behind the slave MySQL servers, there is 1 master MySQL server, which handles all of the database writes. The master MySQL and slave MySQL servers are synced up, so data is up to date.
The actual photo and video files are not stored in the database, only the links to them is stored in the database (to keep the database small). The photo and video reside in a central location (like a SAN or NAS), which is accessible by all of the 3 PHP/Apache webservers.
Questions:
1. How many machines do you think will be able to handle photo and video uploads for 500,000 visitors a day?
2. Is having a SAN with Terabytes of RAIDED disk space an available option?
3. If a SAN or NAS is not an option, does anyone have any ideas on how to make sure all of the web servers have access to the same photos and videos? Is rsync a viable solution?
4. Which hosting provider do you think I should go with?
5. Is clustering what I need? What is clustering and how will it address my concerns?

Is there any conventional wisdom on WHT about which shared hosting providers have highly reliable email service?
The provider I have now has very good web hosting service but their email services tend to bitbucket far too much mail for comfort. Reliable delivery and reception for the half a dozen emails I might send/receive a day (it's a personal use site) is I hope not too much to ask without needing to pay and arm and a leg for the privilege.
creating a setup that will host a site which is expected to receive 50-60K visitors in the first few hours after its launch. The site is membership based and the backend (member system) runs on PHP5-MySQL5.
Here is what I have thought of until now.
Site's sales page (which also happens to be the first page that visitors hit) hosted with Amazon S3 service. All public media files are off loaded to amazon S3 service to keep the number of requests on the hosted setup to minimum.
At the front we can have a high performance firewall like Cisco ASA 5520 followed by two dedicated load balancers in Active/Active state.
Behind the load balancers we have 3 front end servers acting as web-servers. These have SAS disks, 4GB RAM, RAID 1 setup, Dual Xeon Quad core processors each.
Behind the front end servers - we have a dedicated load balancer for the database cluster.
The database cluster consists of 3 Storage/API nodes and one of the front end servers acts as the management node. Each storage node has 8GB RAM, Dual Xeon Quad core processors, 4x RAID 10, SAS setup.
The private network is on a GigaLan.
Do you see any possible/obvious flaw in this design or anything that should be added/subtracted from the setup?
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 currently running a vBulletin message board with about 26,000 members. At any given time there are about 200 members actively posting.
Right now, we're on a dedicated server with Ilon hosting, however, my members are still complaining that the site runs VERY slowly when there are lots of members online.
To make matters worse, I want to launch a weekly podcast for them, so I'll need even MORE bandwidth.
GoDaddy.com is offering dedicated server accounts with high bandwidth limits (ie 2000 GB). Does anyone have any experience with them? ...
Im a webdesigner so when looking for hosting i try to find one that is simple to manage, hardware powerful, lots of ready to install scripts and a beautiful webmail like Atmail or Zimbra.
So im looking for a powerful / quality high end "shared" hosting package.
Until now i have looked at: - Mediatemple (as @mail, exelent support but slow in Europe)
- Mosso (is always good to be powered by rackspace but i think that the cloud hosting concept is still unsstable. Any experience?
- SimpleHelix (realy fast magento demo store, lots of scripts, @Mail and seems to have a fast network to europe)
So any advices on premium shared hosting?
An in Europe, any company similar to mediatemple or simplehelix?
I'm working on launching this online store for a poster designer, and we're becoming more and more aware that we need a really robust and fast server. This site is looking at extremely high levels of activity whenever this designer posts a new poster. We're talking 1700 people surfing the store (downloading med-high resolution poster images) and 300 posters sold in 16 seconds kind of thing.
So, we need a really robust hosting, to work with PHP5 and MYSQL.
My previous go-to hosting provider was Lunarpages, but their customer service has gone down the crapper, and I've just about had it with them. My main questions are: Should I be looking into getting a dedicated server, or are there hosting companies that can handle this kind of traffic on a shared server? I don't have experience administrating a server, so if we got a dedicated one we would have to pay the host to do at least some of the setup/administration, I would assume? Dedicated server or not, what's a hosting company that has really good customer service, where we can be assured of getting somebody knowledgeable without having to wait on hold for 20 (or even 10) minutes?
I am not sure if this is a dumb question or not but here it is anyway, if there is a website and some of the images are hosted on a third party site (ie. photobucket), does the bandwith for those loaded from the third party site count as the sites hosting bandwith?
In my opinion I do not believe it does because it is making a call to the image on the other hosting server, but a friend of mine who manages a forum said that once the users started using more animated signatures that the site bandwith went up by almost 40%, but all signatures are hosted on other sites.
i launched my site 1 month ago on host gators shared hosting plan and grew very quickly, and now am going to pass the 2 TB limit any hour / day so im freaking out. I dont know what to do i need to find a hosting company that offers a lot of bandwith and moderate HD space i need somehwere around 4 TB a month bandwith and 100 GIG HD my budget is from 100 -150 dollars a month.
Also i was approached by someone offering colocation services to host my files on their services is this good as well i have no idea? my site is a music sharing website where people upload and listen to music.
dedicated host provider [url] and trying to determine the options from them in regards to bandwith. If I decide to go with them I will be using them to host a youtube clone site
has any body had experience with them?
Here is their deal Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU 1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 Ram 250 GB SATA300 Drive Unmetered Bandwidth I'm planning to ugrade the ram to 4gb at 300.00 one time extra.
They claim Free 24 hr On-Site Support so I called them up last night at 3:30am their time and did get a technition on the line. They also refer to themselves as being "fully managed" and describe in detail what that means in their faq.
Their BW is unmetered and unshared 10mbps = 3,285 gigs/mo or 4mbps 1,314 gigs/month burstable to 100 mbps going over this limit the charge is 49.00 for each 328.5 gigs
So because I'm a start up and have no idea what will be required in terms of BW. here is the question
If I had a limit on uploads of 200 mb and the average size of the videos being downloaded were 20 mb how many people could be online at the same time?
I'm not even sure if that's the right way to look at it.
My site is on forumotion right now. I want to move it and have it hosted somewhere. It is a local Mustang club. I have read all the problems with the oversold sites. I have also looked at others. The big issue is i dont rally know how much space I need. This is the site southshorestangs.com. What it will have is that forum and probably a few webpages. It is still only a month old so it will keep growing hopefully. i just dont want to get way more than I will need.
i see that there is 84/month and a 119/month VPS, which offer burstable 100mbps unmetered...i also heard they use shared line.
so what is the max bandwith that i can really push in a month ? i am okay with users loading the site @ 100kb/s, especially because the site has lot of videos through flash player, and 100kb/s or even 50kb/s sounds good.
if there are anyone that can beat FDC than please refer me to them!
moving away from PRTG, and go to something that is equivalent on a unix* distro. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for something nearly identical to Paessler's product with mutiple sensors, and assigned users, coupled with 95th and GB billing via snmp. This needs to an independent system, preferably with Bandwith Graphing the sole purpose.
