I see on the HostGator sign up page they are including a 100 minute toll free number, with additional minutes bein 4.9 cents... this is with the Business plan. That is downright visionary product synergy in my opinion... ol Brent has done laid down some VISION spankins!

Click on the little question mark for more detail... strangely, there is NO discussion that I can find of it in their own forums, so I posted it there as well, in the public pre-sales section, so anyone interested should probably keep an eye on both spots for maybe some official info droppage... I'd definitely like to know more about how it will operate and whatnot. Very interesting. I know I DEFINITELY have some good uses. I want to take live calls on a show, fer one.
I decided to try hostgator , so please advice me Which package is the best for newbie to buy in hostgator? I am interested in cheap price and best server uptime.
I've officially decided to go with Hostgator but I'm having a hard time choosing which type of plan would make the most sense for; maybe there is something I'm not seeing and I'm hoping to get some additional insight...
Here is my plan; I plan on hosting multiple domains (business and personal) and atleast one e commerce website to start and it will eventually grow into about 5 down the road (this is going to be a drawn out process and I want to do it right).
The problem I have is I realize in order to get a true ecommerce website up in running I will need a dedicated IP address and SSL certificate for each site. If I purchase the Business plan it only comes with one dedicated IP and one SSL cert; Hostgator also told me that I'm unable to add an additional dedicated IP address or SSL cert to the business plan so I would have to purchase an additional Business Plan (12.95) per each site. It sounds like I could still host private and not SSL required sites on the business plan and as much domains as I want.
If I go the reseller path then the cost per month will be twice as much as the Business Plan and there is no dedicated IP address included. I will also have to purchase dedicated IP addresses at 2.00 a month and SSL certs as well so that method could get expensive.
I'm also not sure if the baby plan would suffice as well, but apparently not because there is a limit of 1 dedicated IP per plan
What would you guys recommend I do; I want a plan that will allow me to grow with them.
Just curious on what your guys thoughts were..
Also I read a previous post in this forum that someone said their SSL cert prompted the end-user to install the certificate; Being in Ecommerce this is obviously unacceptable to me.
I had a TTL of 1800s for my domain but since I will be soon moving to a new host, I lowered the value to 45s (the minimum I can use).
Since I had a first TTL of 1800s, does that mean that the new TTL value will be updated globally within 30mins? or will it take a random amount of time (few hours or so)?
I just want to wait to have the new 45s TTL value propagated everywhere before modifying the main IP.
I would like to buy a 24-port gigabit web managed switch, but I don't know which to choose.
The HP Procurve 1800-24 or Cisco SLM2024.
They have almost the same features but for example; the HP has (limited) lifetime warranty for example, and the Cisco supports IEEE 802.1D, Spanning Tree and Fastport.
Is the Cisco switch worth well over what the HP ProCurve costs? - The ProCurve has much less cache, but how much of a disadvantage is that for a switch?
I'm unresting noticing lately in 'top' that there're users represented as numbers using 'php' without any increase in server's load or connection flooding ..
I get 'rootkithunter' reporting similar number-users too

I've been asked to update a local shops website and set them up with a new commerce site. I'm Looking for linux hosting around $10-$20 a month.
This might be a funny request but I want to be able to create my own username with whatever hostI go with.
Personally I use 1and1 for my own sites and its decent but I seriously hate how my username for ssh and ftp accounts are something like u334423423 or if I try to create a new username it is u334423423-newuser
to keep credit card information on one of my sites for a few days to process orders offline. Once ordered, I would like to blank out the credit card numbers. What would the SQL code be to change all credit card information in the table `orders` field `cc_numbers` to `11111111111111111` be?
I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.
I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time. That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.
But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache
80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?
I am developping a cart for a few clients and credit card numbers need to be stored in the database.
I was wondering if it was acceptable to let the client decides if he wants to encrypt or not cc numbers. There are several advantages/disadvatanges for both sides, like the key management issues and lost keys. Some persons argue that if access to your db is well secured encryption is not needed.
Simplehelix offers a 128/256 bit RapidSSL Certificate for just $99.95/year. In addition, this certificate comes with a year of dedicated IP address with free installation.
Which European providers would you recommend for an 'all in one' hosting package... Something like clientexec, enom, directadmin, installatron, private nameservers and so on?
Variations doesn't matter that much, ie lxadmin or cPanel/fantastico, directi...
i would just like to have your good opinion on something.... Im currently at a loss to what kind of hosting package to choose.
WebHostingBuzz's VPS BRONZE Web Hosting or
HostGator's ALUMINUM Reseller Hosting Package i have a bunch of sites and some of them are hosted at WebHostingBuzz. One of them just got suspended. Heres what the email said.... *************************************
we have found your account to consume more than its fair share of server CPU/Processor, Memory and Disk Bandwidth resources.
This results in sub-par server performance and is a violation of our Acceptable Usage Policy.
Your account appears to be resource intensive by nature and 9 times out of 10, this is down to the software and/or scripts used. *******************************
(note that the said account only has a PHPBB forum with about 20-30 active members) They suggested that i move up to a VPS.
So that's why im choosing between the two packages. One is their VPS and the other is a shared hosting.
Anyone know of any hosting service that provides a FULL Reseller Package on VPS, NOT SHARED.
ALL Reseller Packages I have found are on "shared hosting"? Why is that?
As a Reseller the most important thing to me for my clients is Isolation and Reliability. I don't want to subject myself or my clients to a shared hosting environment. Isn't this a reasonable request?
I have the budget, but just can't find what I'm looking for. And I don't think I'm asking for the extraordinary for a TRUE RESELLER Package.
Major Points I need: 1. Billing Management Software (WHMCS-clientExec-WHM.AutoPilot-I know I can get it myself, but why not offer it for Resellers?)
2. Merchant Account/Payment Gateway (I know I can get it myself but why not offer it for Resellers?)
3. At least 40gb Disk Space
4. At least 512 RAM burstable to 1024
5. Fantastico
6. RVSkin/RVSite Builder
7. Live Chat Support 24/7 (not the kind that says "leave us a message")
8. Zend and IonCube pre-installed
9. CPU share at least 30%
10. DoS protection, Firewall APF, IPTables, Server Hardening
11. Daily off server or off site backups
12. Zend and Ioncube installed
13. SSL (free install?)
14. cPanel/WHM (ALL the stuff that comes with it)
15. RoundCube webmail
16. Guaranteed 99.9% Uptime
If you cannot offer ALL of this on a VPS, please don't bother posting. I don't care too much for a bunch of "add-on" pricing either, can you just give me one price.
If you offer a Reseller Package without billing management software and a merchant account it is NOT a COMPLETE RESELLER PACKAGE. How am I supposed to sell hosting without these?
I currently have a shared Windows hosting package, and my developer has recently requested access to IIS. However, according to the FAQ's of my hosting provider (1&1) this is only possible with a dedicated server - via Remote Desktop.
Is there a basic reason for IIS to be inaccessible on a shared package or is this a limitation of this particular hosting company?
If you are deploying PHP and MySQL along with a site/application, how do you do it? Do you work with the individual components, or do you lean towards ready-made packages?
I use WAMP to develop my applications, and I find it a very simple yet powerful tool for deploying Apache, MySQL and PHP to Windows platforms. I've been looking at the Zend Server today too, which strikes me as very interesting, especially the full version.
Quite often here people suggest negotiating a custom package.
I did that several years back and it has survived a couple of host ownership changes but now it is not being honored by the latest owner.
The price went up without notice (other than a bigger invoice, received too close to the notice period to do anything), and key features I needed have been withdrawn.
I don't suppose I have much option but to move on.
What experience do others have of this?
And for those of you who sell, and maybe have taken on clients from a previous owner, what would your attitude to long term customers be?
to start a web design and hosting business and am in need of some hosting for it all...
I've looked at the reseller hosting at [url] which looks good, but they said that I cannot host a 'file distribution' web site. Because one of the sites I will be hosting is an eCommerce application that sells videos for download, I'm not sure whether this would be allowed. I read the SLA and I think it would be, as long as the bandwidth didn't exceed 25GB per month.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of other web hosting packages that might be suitable for everything I need (PHP4, PHP5, MySQL) that weren't too expensive. I don't really want to pay more than £40 per month.
Ideally I'd like unlimited bandwidth and data transfer and web space, but if not, at least enough for a good number of sites!
I'm using Earthlink to host a website, but I think this question is valid for any host.
If you have a hosting account that's on a windows server/MS Windows based and want to switch to a Linux/Unix server account, how would you do this without any downtime?
I assume when they switch the account, all DNS related entries have to be updated so you won't be able to reach the website for a day or so.
With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL 4), are updated packages made available, or are only security patches backported? Specifically I'm interested in vsftpd. Version 2.0.1 is included in the RHEL installation on a server I'm working on, but there is a bug fix in v2.0.4 that I'd like to get access to.
Is there an easy way for me to browse / search what packages are available for RHEL 4, preferably via website?
