I am planning to place an order with hostnexus for a windows hosting. I saw them first on whreviews and got impressed by their professional site and quick response to my queries via email.
But can any existing or past customers share their opinions about their uptime, suppor or any other issues? Is it comparable to hostgator for linux?
I have a Windows reseller account with HostNexus on one of their ColdFusion servers.
I have been having some issues for a little while now and thought I would share my experience with others.
I have never posted such a thread and felt compelled to share my experience with others as this is a highly respected client that we do a great deal of other consulting work with.
i have had some ongoing issues with ColdFusion performance on the server and I am extremelly unhappy with the way that the matter has been handled by support staff. Does HostNexus hire their own staff or do they outsource their support, does anybody know?
Since the uptime statistics that are published for the server I am on show that the server is available far more than it actually is. The uptime statistics measure the standard ports and web availability but in our case ColdFusion and/or MSSQL availability has been extremely poor and non existent.
I was going to post a shortened transcript of the issue here but now feel that this would not be the right thing to do so I have removed it, but with the issue continuing and no answers from HostNexus staff....watch this space.
Whilst I understand that their support is limited to email only, I think if a disgruntled client or a client that feels he has been poorly supported requests on more than one occasion to speak to a member of staff in a management capacity this request should be passed on and actioned.
An unhappy HostNexus client.
I just signed up with hostnexus.. so far the support is responsive.. but the control panel delays is incredibly annoying.
I just surfed around and found out a lot of people on the net complain about the same thing. Is this normal on a plesk control panel?
I always get timed out, or I have to wait for over a 10 minutes just to get an account created, provided I dont hang.
Is this normal for plesk? why didnt they tried to fix it? I mean they are already on version 8..
I'm hosting wmv,wma,mp3 files, streaming of video can be done with Windows hosting, but my website script is with php.
Do you suggest Windows Server 2008 hosting or redhat linux hosting?
I have a problem with Parallels Plesk v12.0
Hosting type on website became "No web hosting."
When I try to change hosting type to "Forwarding" it changes ok.
If I change hosting type to "Website hosting", I get message "The hosting type for "website name" was successfully changed.", but hosting plan still stay "No web hosting"....
I want to know the difference between windows hosting and linux hosting
and which hosting is the best? either windows or linux?
and what are the dis advantages between them?
I'm constantly coming across both and would love it if someone could really explain to be the benefits, disadvantages, etc.
I want to know about best hosting solutions for any site and also know that is windows hosting better then Linux hosting or not?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI would like to compare what windows shared hosting is currently available to what I'm currently using as I'm getting charges for high bandwidth (20 gigs) for 40 websites which is not really high these days and I have to pay $1 every extra gig & its rising.
I don't want a VPS as I have tried them in the past and it is too much effort to set them up although I will use one in the future when I have the time to set one up properly. ALso with the ones I tried the memory couldn't cope and if I needed to get reasonable performance I would have had to pay a lot of $$$
My requirements are (all to be included in monthly price):
# must be unlimited or at least 50 domains can be hosted
# Offer Helm
# 50 gigs Bandwidth or more
# Clean host (no SEO banning or problems)
# Hosting Company Must not be a reseller - I want the real deal, proven & experienced host that has been around for at least 2 years. I will be doing a lot of research so please don't bother plugging your reseller business.
# I want at least 5 dedicated IP's with package
# Must offer AWStats with each domain
# Price: currently paying around $30 per month so something similar would be good
I am providing linux hosting for a while now, but want to expand my services to windows hosting as well.
I am looking to get a dedicated server, but could use some help in deciding what to chose.
What would be better for windows 2003 hosting? It would normally be used for asp.net pages, and people can use ms sql (but the free msde edition). There will also be mysql on the server.
What would be better, more ram or more cpu?
config 1: less cpu, more ram
Xeon QUAD-CORE Clovertown E5130 (4 times 1,6 Ghz)
8 GB ECC DDR2 ram
config 2: more cpu, less ram
Dual QuadCore 5310 8 times 1.6GHz Cores
4GB ECC DDR2 Ram
Also, I am looking at offering ajax for asp.net. Does this take a lot of resources on the server?
And what about running apps in isolated application pools for every user. Does this take a lot of server resources?
some reliable hosts at nominal rates? I'm looking for maximum uptime and web space for my ecommerce based websites.
Requirements are:
At least 2 GB web space
There are 5 domains to be hosted on one server (there will be more in future)
Websites are developed in ASP
MS Access databases (separate db for each website)
Domain Alias
I am planning to move my hosting from SHARED to either VPS / Dedicated / Cloud Hosting(MOSSO) .
I am quite confused because:
1. I tried lunarpages VPS, they dont offer multiple MSSQL DB. THey offer only 1 and LIMITED to 1 GB.
2. Dedicated from lunarpages also has some limitations.
3. I heard something called as "cloud hosting" from mosso - Cloud sites, Cloud Files, Cloud servers.. I really dont understand what it means..
Can you please help?
I NEED:
1. Windows hosting - ASP, unlimited MSSQL DB and atleast 10GB space. The site will have atleast 100K visitors / month.
Need the following specs from an established Managed Windows VPS provider with Ticket and Phone Support.
Server 2003
Helm 4
30-50GB Disk
1TB+ Bandwidth
1024 Memory
MySQL or WinSQL
2+ IP's
Has anyone tried one of Dotster's Windows plans as I can't find any reviews using the search? Their plans seems to offer a lot for a low price.
View 7 Replies View Relateda speaker at a meet-up stated that the only reason Linux is a more popular server platform is that kids starting hosting companies do not need to pay for the license...
whereas college educated techies prefer the windows platform for their servers..
So I thought I would get some opinions from the pro's... which is the overall best server platform
Windows... or Linux

View 11 Replies View RelatedI've been looking everywhere for a half decent, affordable, windows web hosting company. Everyone has CPanel/Linux, and I'm looking for Plesk + Windows. I'm gonna be buying a dedi soon that will run on windows, but I want some shared hosting too.
If you could refer me to some decent hosts, that would be great (and I hate oversellers)
I'm trying to find hosting that offers ASP, PHP, SQL and some kind of control panel (plesk or cPanel) and that accepts Paypal (credit card is okay but Paypal would make it 50% easier.)
Anything around $15/20 would do.
Please recommend Plesk Windows Hosting companies.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWebresellers has taken a bashing on wht but I don't see anything recent so I thought I would share my experience and see if anyone else has input on this company.
I signed up for a windows hosting account a couple of months ago and have been very happy with their service. Support has been fast and competent, no canned responses or 'what problem?' replies. Uptime has been good so far. They offer quite a decent package for cheap windows hosting.
The only negatives might be windows hosting issues more than hosting service issues.
1. Spam filtering is terrible.
2. They offer MSSQL and have an online interface. I forget who developed it but it's nothing like myphpadmin. Quite crippled actually but it will let you create tables. Again probably not the hosting company's fault. Even Microsoft's remote sql server tool has limited functionality.
3. FTP uploads are throttled but it's not a show stopper.
IMHO definately a contender for windows hosting. I've slowly converting my asp sites to php but until I get that done the sites seem to be safe at webresellers.net.
do you maybe know .. is someone offering hosting on windows 2008 platform ? and what's the price per year.
