Are there any out there? I need a personal server which can do VPN protocols and transfer data consistently at 20mbps on a single connection. Preferably a host with good connectivity and fewer hops to Asia where I am located.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are in the process of starting a new project for a client and we are trying to decide which network to place it on.
We have a choice of a Level3/Time Warner mix or pure Internap. Obviously the Internap bandwidth is a bit more expensive, but since this customers website serves an international community we are thinking that Internap bandwidth would be well worth the cost.
What are the advantages of using Internap? How is the network performance? We've setup a machine on the Internap network and have begun running tests, but I would like to hear from people who have direct experience with Internap bandwidth.
Thinking very seriously about revolutionizing the ISP market, starting with WiMax-based service in the Texas hill country, as I'm tired of the basic monopoly outside of town and the near-monopoly in town for halfway decent access. Anyhow, I plan to get Cogent FastE for the main backbone, however I know I need something else in case some spat starts between Cogent and someone else (Level3, France Telecom, Telia). Internap is in Austin I know, but Cogent has a POP in San Antonio which is much closer to where I'm going to deploy the network. Any options in the Internap price range for maybe 20 Mbit to start? Yeah, I know that the price of the "backup" connection may be more than that of the main line, but if people want their WoWwebetc. I want to live up to that promise.
Thanks in advance. If I gotta use Internap I'll do that, but again that means setting up a link in the opposite direction to what I'm thinking right now. The ultimate answer would be something relatively inexpensive (sub-$100 per Mbit with 20 Mbit commit) relatively close to one of Cogent's San Antonio data centers. Cogen't bandwidth deals are awesome, but with one peering argument per year or so a backup seems needed.
Its a video and picture sharing website for India.
In the first 1-2 months, I will need around 250GB storage and 2TB bandwidth per month. After that, I will need much more. I have no idea how much I bandwidth may need. So I may go to a 50Mbps unmetered bandwidth; to limit my bandwidth cost.
My budget is around $400 per month. I want to have server(s) in west coast as it will be closer to India.
I have narrowed down to FDCServers and AlphaRed; as they both offer unmetered bandwidth for cheap. I will start with metered bandwidth and then go to unmetered bandwidth when my bandwidth demands exceeds.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFew weeks ago, someone posted on my forums something about a website having our images of them (of a game) and claiming false information that they provide a game that they don't have. Instead, they lure people in to downloading a spyware called zango. First, I went to godaddy as I whoised the host, and they said they don't host the site at all.
Because proxybydomain was protecting them of whois information, I contacted them and they said Qoozz was hosting them. Well, fine. I emailed support of Qoozz and told them about the situation. Few days later, no reply. I posted on the forums and private messaged an administrator about it.. Still no reply.
Then a few days later I realized I could make threads (at first, they became invisible as they had to be allowed by the mods) When I created a thread, it got removed right away a few hours after that. Even my username Skyrider was renamed to Skyride.
When I created another thread and emailed support, billing, sales, etc.. I now am IP banned from the site and I am unable to go to there. All my emails and private messages and my threads has been ignored. While FUNImation can easily take legal actions to Qoozz for not taking action on the spyware site and using images that doesn't belong to them.
Any opinions? As I find this very very stupid. "Support at your finger tops" as they said it on their site my ***.
any one recommend good flv host? for private sharing of 120 alumni students? videos are mostly farewell stuffs.

I've been doing some comparing for web hosting and given that my vBulletin.com thread gave me zero input, I thought I'd post here & see what advice I can gain.
I currently have a vBulletin forum hosted through 1&1 Shared Hosting. Huge upcoming problem is 1&1's 100MB MySQL Database size limit, not something that had been factored at the site's launch. The only option 1&1 has provided is an upgrade to one of their VPS servers, starting at $29 a month. The site is currently at only half that limit, around 50MB so I'm taking the time now to figure what to do in the next several months.
I've been open to the idea of simply transferring to another shared host with a larger MySQL database limit (looked at Host Gator that offers 2GB limit) or forking out the extra cash for the VPS and consolidating some of my other websites onto the VPS.
Currently, the forum receives (per month) 2000 unique visitors, 200,000 page views, and about ~40 users online at one time. I really want to know, if I move to another shared host will the CPU usage eventually get my account suspended if site growth picks up? Or would I be better off consolidating various websites onto a single VPS and taking my chances with a 1&1 upgrade?
I am planning to shift my sites from dedicated server to VPS as my site traffic
View 12 Replies View RelatedCan someone recommend a good overseller? I have 300GB+ in home videos I want to back up online somewhere. My plan is to just leave a crappy computer of mine uploading non-stop for like a week or whatever.
All I really need is a place that oversells but won't give me crap for actually using the space I pay for, and fast upload speeds would be nice too. Oh, and cheap is definitely good and I don't like it when hosts put up advertisements on my error pages. Nothing else really matters to me that much.
I have been trying to find a lower priced host for a while now, and came across an offer posted for Apt host, when i visited their website I found that they had more then I could ask for at about 32 usd per year after coupon.
I will be hosting several sites, some of which contain brief profanity or legal adult content, However don't really have a real need for heavy disk space, and since my sites are fairly new even bandwidth is not that important for the time being. They will be running mainly on joomla or wordpress.
Anyways after trying to do a search for a review on apt host i can barely find anything.
Has anyone here used them, and how do they rate them, additionally if u have any other advice on hosts that provide simiar packages it would be great to hear ur feed back.
I am not a reseller yet but I have mutilable domains and I am wanting to get in to reselling.
And good host out there for a good price I am small now but would like to get larger so I would need to be able to upgrade later.
THe host needs to allow cron jobs.
I couldn't find any good review sites, but lots of places recommended iPowerWeb.
What I want is:
* I want to know who the MOST RELIABLE (uptime) hosts are.
* I want to know who has the best 24/7 telephone tech support.
* I want to only pick hosts that have been around for a while and are profitable so they are less likely to go out of business on me.
* I'm looking for a HIGHLY ETHICAL company that doesn't allow their servers to be used for spam or other $#!+ that gets them blocked. (my current hosting company is currently blocked from some email servers because they let someone using their servers send spam, so now their customers (including me) can't send email to some domains (e.g., aol.com). I'm rip$#!+ about this) ).
* I am NOT looking for the cheapest deal. I want premium quality by a large, well-established professionally-staffed company; not some guy running a rack of blades in his basement ever since he got laid off in the dot-com bust.
I have agreed to rework my boss's storage rental facility website which means I will basically be starting over.
He's always trying to pinch pennies and suggested Google might be a good place to host the site.
From what I can tell, it looks like once you have your domain you pay $10 to host with Google them but it looks like a subdomain setting. For instance, my boss currently has a website called toeholdings.com and he's hosting with google. When I type in the toeholdings.com it redirects to http://partnerpage.google.com/toeholdings.com
If he's trying to get more traffic to this new website, won't that bury him since it appears to be a subdomain? I'm not completely sure what Google is doing here. It looks like beta version.
Does anyone know if their system includes website templates and software to help you build a site?
I heard a lot about 110mb and registered with them.My experience was very bad.I even paid for upgrades,but the uptime was very bad.Most of the time my site was down.
View 18 Replies View RelatedI noticed a trend - I don't know if it's very new, but it can't be very old either - that quite a few people are looking for hosting and specifically ask that the host is not a reseller. Obviously they have somehow decided that a reseller is not a good choice for them.
A host that rents servers from a datacenter and then sells shared hosting and/or reseller hosting accounts or whatever other types of packages, is in fact reselling what it has bought from its provider. Despite that, it is generally regarded as a full-fledged host. Sure, they do take care that the servers are managed properly, that they are secure, they provide customer support, so they add to the original product that they have bought, but in essence they are resellers.
The first one is that the reliability, the uptime and server performance depend almost entirely on the upstream provider (the host behind the reseller). Considering that the reseller did a good job in finding a great upstream host, these things should be fine, but, unfortunately, in their search to get the best deal out there, many hosting resellers (if not most of them) end up being hosted for just a few bucks a month on highly overcrowded servers with stability and performance problems, frequent downtime etc. which will in turn translate into poor service for the end user.
The other major concern is the knowledgeability of the reseller. The very ease of becoming a reseller and the fact that almost anyone, or, as a WebHostingTalk user said it once, "anybody and his dog", can be a reseller, makes it very hard for some to trust a hosting reseller.
I would never say a reseller is a bad choice, but some things are not to be expected from a reseller. For example most resellers are a one man show and thus 24/7 365 days a year support can not be achieved without outsourcing some of it. This however is not a very cost effective solution for low volumes and this is why most resellers provide all the support themselves, which will obviously not be 24/7.
Also a reseller has only so much freedom on the server. A reseller cannot do some things and has to ask his own host to do them for him. That means it will take longer for those things to get solved.
On the plus side, a reseller often gets to know his customers and their needs and the client-reseller relationship often gets quite close. A friendly tone is worth for some people more than a 99.99% uptime statistic. If you're one of those people a reseller could very well be the right choice.
I am running some blogs on JustHost, a WordPress Web Hosting recommended by WordPress. You can visit my JustHost Review for reference.
When there are problems with the site, people may be sent to our status site. We just did that, with the site hosted on Dreamhost and it barely lasted 5 minutes (hehehe). Is there any viable host/option that could support these circumstances?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a blog that gets about 50,000 unique users a month and I'm looking for a host that would fit the bill. I'm using wordpress so that's obviously a requirement, but also I would like RoR support. Other than that I'm pretty open. My fear is just that I'll get relegated to a slow server or have my account suspended. My budget is really whatever I need to pay. I'd like to find something at $15 a month or under but I'm willing to pay up to $50 or more if need be.
I'm planning on growing the traffic more in the future so I'm not sure if I should just go for dedicated hosting now or wait. I've checked out hostgator and they seem to have good reviews and fit the bill well, I'm just not sure if they are suited for high traffic sites or not.
