Time For A Dedicated? And Opinions On Future Hosting Dedicated Servers?
Mar 26, 2009Some 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?
Renting Colocated Servers As Dedicated Servers
Oct 11, 2009I am just colocating servers and managing them myself, and renting services off of them. In the future I would like to start offering dedicated servers as well. I am wondering if many companies do this, or if its more of a general practice to just setup as a reseller? The worst part that comes to mind is thinking of how to do billing for the bandwidth per month. With my setup I would only be offering flat bandwidth packages (like 2TB a month) but even so, I cant think of anyway to automate it so WHMCS knows if they went over, if so, how much, etc.

Apr 25, 2007I have been with them for about a week now and have opened about 40 support tickets.
I think they are great with the managed hosting , they have a 1 hour response gurantee and the live support is very friendly.
I also upgraded plans which went smoothly.
VPSByte
Apr 28, 2007I found the best VPS Host! I came accross VPSByte.com and I just loved them. They helped me from selecting a plan, setting up my account, and other issues I had. Their support is friendly and fast. Also, they have a lot of different plans to choose from and I found just want I needed. I am kinda new at VPS and so they helped me out a lot on getting started. They offer a lot of services and features. I love the many different control panels they offer. They treat me like a friend and guide me through the solutions to my problems. I would really recommend this host to everyone. The site i have with them is emeraldfeathers.com.

May 21, 2007I am happy with my current host (SolarVPS) and also have some kind of liking for Futurehosting.
I have just seen some really good offers for VPS from VPSByte and was considering hosting a friends sites with them.
But because I have no experience with them, I'd like to know whether there are any VPSByte customers here and what your experiences are with them, good and bad.
What I want to know is in these criteria:
- Speed (I've tested and it seems OK because my Friend is in US),
- Performance,
- Stability,
- Support (How newbie-friendly are they because my friend is more of a newbie than myself)
VPSbyte Dead
May 28, 2009I've ordered dedicated sever the AMD4200 at vpsbyte last Thursday, exactly a week ago, but status on my client page is still pending, during a whole week i sent 4 emails with 1 response - a promise to set up server in Monday, and that's 3 days ago. Gee i am so pissed off i had to set my project to idle and loose money. Their website is totally outdated to 2008 and buggy as hell, that kayako support thing doesn't work at all, general support is offline 24h, MSN is offline, 1h response means maybe 1 week response if lucky.I don't really grow my money in trees and i really need superfast connection to my dedicated server for reasonable price...
I feel robbed, should i report them to authorities for scam? or they are just out of business?
My VPSByte Review
Jun 11, 2007My VPSByte Review.
I started to write a long review detailing the hellish experience I had with VPS Byte. But I think instead, I will just summarize with this.
VPS BYTE IS AN UNLICENCED, ILLEGALLY OPERATING OPERATION.
The State of Oregon, City of Portland and Multnomah County all require business licenses to run your business inside the state, city and county.
On their home page (vpsbyte.com) at the bottom, they say:
Copyright 2006-2007 VPSByte LLC. All rights reserved
If you call the Oregon Secretary of States office, you will see that, no such company (LLC) exists or is licensed to do business in Oregon. (Oregon Secretary of State: 503 986 2200)
On their "About us" page, they say:
VPSByte, maintained under the ASC Group of Oregon
Again, no such company legally exists in the state of Oregon.
If you pay them with Paypal, the payment really goes to: selectbyte.net. Once again, there is no company licensed to do business in the state of Oregon named Select Byte. Apparently Camron does business under many other names, none that I can find are legally registered.
That business address is in the city of Portland, Oregon. If you call the city of Portland:
(503) 823-4000
You will see that there is no business registered under any of Camrons names are licensed to do business in the city of Portland or Multnomah County.
Rather than continue on with my experiences, I suggest that you simply decide if you want to do business with an unlicensed "company".
[Review] VPSByte.com
Apr 19, 2007Currently I'm hosted with VPSByte.com. They specialize in high quality VPS and Dedicated servers.
I bought a cPanel VPS from them a while ago and so far have had no problems at all with them. The prices are fantastic and the support (Should you need it...not often) is absolutely great. I've had an answer within an hour every time and they're always happy to assist you any day of the week.
Always making their services better and better VPSByte has been proven to be one of the very best, if not, THE best VPS provider I've ever seen. I'll definately be staying with them for as long as humanly possible!
I'd rate them *****/***** (5/5) and would recommend them any day.

Shared Hosting Or Dedicated Hosting Why Some Webmasters Prefer Dedicated Servers
Apr 7, 2009I 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?

Sep 29, 2009Currently, I am using 1 VPS, and pay $30/mo.
Now, I want more resource. Should I buy another VPS ($30/mo)? Or buy a dedicated server(<=$60/mo)?
I understand that the 3rd choice is 1 upgraded VPS($60/mo). But I do NOT think it's better than 2 small VPS($30/mo).
which one is better? For now, I do NOT want to pay more than $60/mo.
Those Sub-$30 Dedicated Servers
Mar 31, 2008My lease with LayeredTech is about to renew, so I am looking for better deals, and I found several $23 $24 $30 dedicated offers here. How are those servers/network/dc comparing to layeredtech?
I have not been looking for 2 years, because I was in other business. Badly needing a update on server industry now.
I thought utility bills are up, inflation is high, so it is a shock to see the price of dedicated servers are falling.
~$70 Dedicated Servers In US/CA That Allow IRC
Feb 15, 2008Does anyone know of a dedicated servers in USA/Canada that allow IRCd, and the price is UNDER $70/mo.
A server that has atleast 1GHz of processing power is good, such as a (Dual) P3 or a Celeron, or anything better.
It needs atleast 512MB of ram, and atleast 10GB IDE/SCSI (SCSI preferred, not needed) HDD.
And with atleast 1TB+ bandwidth.
Netdirekt has a $50 server which is what I need, though its in Germany, I prefer a USA/Canada server.
Servers (VPS Or Dedicated)
May 19, 2008Currently I run my forum with a host that is having too much downtime for my liking. I run a new forum on vBulletin with 210 + members with 1-5 new members. My main requirements are PHP5, MySQL5 and OpenSSL. What would your suggestions be for a host / server specification? Unfortunately as I am not using any advertising so my monthly budget is rather low ($50). We currently have a dedicated server with a 2.4ghz processor and 512mb ram but I would be more than happy to move to a vps if it would be more reliable.

That price is pretty competitive, especially for 10tb dedicated bandwidth.
I was wondering if anyone has any servers with them? What's it been like?
Would be interesting to know since their main business line is just shared hosting.

Mirroring And Dedicated Servers
Apr 3, 2006We’ve been asked to offer a technical proposal for a new established TV station, and the IT manager of the station has a long list of requirements, we covered it all, only one issues lift as we never done it before:
They want about 20-100 GB server for hosting and they want to have a mirror server, incase the 1st server was down, so it would redirect the visitors to the mirror server, I'm thinking of getting them a dedicated or semi-dedicated server, but how do you do the mirror issue.
Some one said to get two dedicated servers, but::
1. How we make it that when one is down, it automatically directed to the other, I believe there is software’s for that, so were do we install this software: the original server or the mirror server.
2. Should they be from two different companies and to different countries?
3. The web site will be with CMS and DB, how do you make sure that the mirror server have all the new data that was updated in the 1st server’s DB, do they have like shared DB or something, and how..
Any other information, links, or suggested hosting sites for reliable dedicated server (with big bandwidth) would be greatly appreciated.. thanx
P.S. We use PHP/ MySql technology.

Dedicated Servers Feedback
Oct 2, 2009In these past many years I have used 7 major data centers which provide collocation and dedicated servers.
Out of these 7 provides, what would make a client impressed?
One is off course the level of reliability, the network must be up without anyone bothering it.
Second is the level of security, when someone is bothering it, their team must be extremely responsive to provide help to restore service back to normal, it doesn't matter if there is an additional fee for it, availability is crucial.
Third would be the response time, which is critical, because this gets personal. When a client needs an "urgent" help, if the provider successfully responded the urgency in a timely manner, it will build an great sense of trust.
It's like you as the provider is storing up "trust funds" into your clients. If you keep doing this, when something bad happens, you will have enough trust funds deposited into your client's faith, so they will eventually understand the situation.
From these many years of using many major provider, I can only experience an amazing level of service from one single provider, which are always dependable and are able to respond to my inquiries within minutes, not hours.
A client expect a reply in minutes when they are leasing a dedicated server or even collocating their servers with a provider.
So far, only one seems to be able to provide such an excellent service.
This is not a rating about a particular provider, but I would like to give an input to dedicated server providers on what's important when it comes to building a good client relationship.
Willing to do an extra mile help would definitely a big plus which I also experience with the same provider.
Lastly, I would like to leave my total satisfaction review for the one provider which surpasses my expectation being their client. The one and only provider which I personally experienced an outstanding level of service is ThePlanet.
With their pricing, the level of service I received as a client is outstanding.
Should I Go With Semi Dedicated Servers
Feb 15, 2009I am currently using hostmonster.com and I've noticed that my service is starting to go downhill. The site is taking longer to load and I've read that in some cases they will terminate your account without notifications.
I am a photographer and my website will be growing in the future. I am looking for a site that I can host my high res images and maybe video streaming for my wedding events. Should I go with a semi-dedicated server?

Mar 28, 2008I have 2 dedicated servers to host several websites at this moment. Each server hosts several website, include both files and database (Apache, PHP, Mysql). And I think that this is not a good model.
I intend to re-organize my servers to have one server for web applications (Apache and PHP) and one server for databases (Mysql). In this case, the servers could be better optimized.

Sep 12, 2008I am currently with The Planet with the following configuration - Dual Xeon 2.4 - SCSI, 1 GB RAM, 73 GB 10K RPM SCSI/SAS HDD. But it lag spikes when I run a Counter Strike server on it, I don't know if it's there network or something wrong with the hardware.
I had a Pentium 4 2.8 ghz from Calhost and it never lagged, and keep in mind this is a Dual Xeon. I have been trying to figure out the problem, but no luck yet. My question is - what other companies in Texas sell dedicated servers?
Does anyone know what could be causing the lag spikes? Or had a similar incident with The Planet. I don't know if it's there network.
