How Many Users Will My Host/site Be Able To Support
Feb 12, 2009
I know this sounds a difficult question, but any rough answer is better than none. I am sure there are rough expectations.
Will it be 10's, 100's, 1,000's, 10,000's etc.
I am looking at a dedicated server Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.0GHz, 1GB memory with network speed of 100mb (with gigabyte burst whatever that means).
[url]- bronze package - if anyone is interested)
I will run one site only. The site has very heavy database usage and normal page views with average images.
Video / most photos are hosted and delivered with a seperate, top-quality CDN.
Your answer might be... "You should get about 1000 surfing, using database etc. before you notice a slow down" etc.
I suppose the thing is.. at what stage would I need a second dedicated server / package upgrade / what will this server get me?

I have a site hosted with Imhosted.
6 days ago, three users, one from Denmark, one from the UK and one from California - all reported connectivity trouble. I asked for tracert's from all three.
Two of them fail at 209.51.131.250 ( the California and Denmark one ) and one fails at 209.51.131.234
Both are GNAX servers.
I contacted Imhosted - and for 6 days they have ducked, dived, denied, and given me totally inappropriate stock replies ( such as asking me to check my IP address - when the actual affected IP addresses have already been supplied numerous times). They tried to fob me off saying it was an ISP issue ( two continents, at exactly the same time - yeah, right )
Imhosted have SAID, on two occasions, that they've contacted GNAX to have them fix the issue. So far, the problem remains for all three users.
Fortunately, we have a dedicated server of our own already, and we will be moving to it in the next few weeks. But meanwhile - what the hell can I do to rattle some sense into Imhosted and/or GNAX to get these poor guys back onto the site?
I've had three years of hell with Imhosted. Useless support, dreadful performance, unusable email, PHP and SQL issues - all in all, a dreadful experience.

I have a web site, where users sign up and edit there account settings using a web based form application.
These users will be uploading large files to my server, and as of right now they are uploading the files using a file upload form. The problem is it takes a really long time to upload them.
So my first question is will using ftp be significantly faster than using the web form http upload?
Assuming its faster to use ftp:
The big files that the user uploads get stored in a directory in the website directory right now, so that they would be accessible via www.mysite.com/user/files/ . There is an ftp account used to control that entire domain and all the files in it.
So if i were to create another ftp user, how would i go about allowing them to access a specific diretory in another users home directory.

I'm setting up a web site for my online music library, doing it the hard way and learning as I go!
What I want to do I keep all the audio files secure so only registered users can get at them, how do I do this? FTP? permissions? Can I pass the user data from the client database somehow or do I have to set it up manually for each client?
I'm using php and mysql and have a table set up with all the file locations in it and that side of things is mostly working well. Once a user gets the URL of the file how do I make sure only that user can download the file?
I've tried searching the web for info but I have the sneaking suspicion I'm not asking the right question.

Gmail users are fine.
Two days ago, Yahoo and hotmail users were receiving emails in the Junk folder. I thought this was due to the Reverse DNS settings not being set. So, I contacted Rus from cheapVPS and asked him to enable the Reverse DNS setting after I entered it in the Hyper VM panel, and he kindly did it.
Unfortunately, since the Reverse DNS setting was entered, Yahoo and Hotmail users stopped receiving mails from my site. Gmail users never faced any problem.
the logs (from maillog) are as follows:

I have medialayer but I still have a contract with ICDSoft (love them too) I've been waiting for the ICDSoft contract to expire later this year and move that website over to medialayer but it occurred to me, why. I get a gig of storage with ICDSoft and I'm using a lot of that. I may blow my quota on medialayer if I move that site over.
Just seems odd for me to have only a handful of sites but yet have two web hosting companies. I may have gone completely over to ICDSoft, but my MovableType blogs don't seem to work as seamlessly on ICDSoft. Also MediaLayer seems to have faster servers which is great on one site that hosts a lot of images.

with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?
Also I would want to register with 1&1 as to register privately is free but with godaddy it costs around $15 and I've heard of godaddy stealing persons domains when they haven't even expired yet i.e. familyAlbum.com?
Is it allowed for instance to register my domain name with 1&1 and host my site with godaddy?

I am in the UK, all my users are in the UK.
How crazy would it be to get a web host in another country?
I like the look of an American company.
There are plenty in the UK, but they don't tick as many boxes.
What would difference in speed be? (approximately)

our VPS hosting company did an upgrade the other day and now something is wrong with our home page, it takes about 30sec to load. They keep saying its a php problem, but the scripting is fine, the engine is fine and the only thing that changed is that they did an upgrade.
They don't seem to be able to grasp the problem, and it is making my boss go nuts. A web guy a know said it definately had to be something at their end, and everyone else is at a loss.

I'm looking for a free web host to host my portfolio. I need:
1) Php/MySQL Support
2) .htaccess support, so I can have search-engine-friendly URLs.
3) Preferably I'd like there to only be a text/graphic ad at the bottom of the page, or to be able to pay a small fee and have the ad removed. (No popups)
Is there any such host available, or can any of you guys here who sell web hosting set me up with one such account?

I currently run a website which is hosted with storminternet.co.uk and, while I can't fault their reliability, the (lack of) performance is undermining the usefulnes of the website.
Key features of the website are:
- completely MySQL/PHP driven so the host needs MySQL support and processor power . Some of the MySQL queries are fairly complex and call upon multiple tables of large datasets.
- monthly bandwidth is much less of an issue than speed (if that's not an oxymoron) as the number of visitors is currently <250/day.
- most if not all of the visitors are from the UK
In terms of budget I would be willing to go £150+/year if the service was top quality.

I have a problem in that I sell somewhat large download files, and Hostmonster told me their servers don't support 'resume'.
So if my customer has a power failure, etc., during the download, he'll have to start all over again.
So it looks like I'm going to have to move my download files to a different server.
Can anyone recommend a good host that will store my digital downloads and, that, most importantly, support 'resume'.

I have recently left dreamhost in search of a more reliable and speedy host. The only thing I will be missing from dreamhost is their customer support which is very good. In fact I didn't think it could be topped by anyone...but I was proven wrong (at least so far).
So what host did I choose? Downtown host obviously (based on title : P). This is not a FULL host review, just initial setup and support which normally would be a huge ordeal for me without help.
Anyway, I bought my hosting a few days ago and requested a site transfer in their support ticket system. I was greeted within 10 minutes by the support team walking me through the steps I needed to take in order to get it going. Once I gave them the proper information, the transfer was done in under an hour for four-five sites. I then tried setting up the sites by connecting them to the new databases that they transferred my data into. Didn't work like I thought it would so I continued to mess around with it until I basically screwed up my initial database...oops. Another ticket to support and within 10 min I get a reply that they will transfer the sites and repopulate the database again for me. Very nicely I might add. No sarcastic emails because the dumb noob messed up his database or anything : ]
The new transfer was complete and I set up everything without a hitch (since I figured out what I did wrong).
All this was done through a series of around 20-30 support emails. Every one was answered often within minutes. None over 10 minutes. All were pleasant answers and none were snotty in the least. Thank you Jorge, Sabastian and Diego for helping me with the problems. Their support indeed beat the crap out of dreamhost's. I've rarely gotten a response that quickly.
My package is nothing to scoff at either. 5GB of space and 100GB of bandwidth for around 65+ a year. That's right a year. The sites have run perfectly so far and the speeds have been VERY fast compared to dreamhost's.
I'd say I am incredibly happy with my initial setup with downtownhost. I will post a follow up review in a few months addressing my experiences with reliability and such. I expect it to be another good review, as I haven't been able to find a negative one for downtownhost on WHT.

I am using aplus.net to host a WordPress blog and want to create more blogs.
Since aplus.net took 26 hours to restore my blog when somehow it was corrupted (no explanation on what they did), I have decided I need to host it someplace where I have full control.
I would be prepared to reinstall WordPress on my own. I also want to have the ability to control redirects. aplus provides a handful of very weak tools for managing the site.
I'm looking for a host that would allow me to manage multiple domains, and multiple instances of WordPress. I'm prepared to manage the MySQL db (if I have to, though I would prefer it if I had support for this).

I've got a client who wants to host audio files... Here are the sizes:
50 x 75MBs
300 x 10MBs
400 x 5MBs
That totals 8750MBs or 8.75GBs... If he gets hundreds of visitors, it could end up being 1000's of GBBs or bandwidth.
I don't know what to look for to support so much bandwidth... Do you buy bandwidth? Are their special companies out their that host it for you?

I'm going to be extremely blunt and start off that although I'm not an unintelligent person, I'm very dumb when it comes to hosting and the lingo. So I would really appreciate the "Hosting for Dummies" version to find a good host
The closest I can show in what I am building with my partner is HERE (which claims to have had 90Million pageviews/month last year) Just basically a teen game and graphic site. It will be mostly flash games, php, various other scripts and forums.
I'm confident in saying they don't use shared hosting at least. Though what it is exactly I don't know. There is no way I'd get a dedicated server to begin with till we need it. I'm not sure what else a site like this requires (perhaps unlimited mySQL?) for a shared hosting plan. I was looking at HostMonster, Hostgator and Bluehost. I need good customer support for sure, I've had too many crap hosts in the past. I also need multiple domains (4-5)
In sum, does the shared hosting even matter at this point, or should I come back when we're in need of dedicated? I'm guessing cp usage will be the first to give out?

I've a site running at my localhost with Apache/Tomcat server, pages are mostly jsp.
I've used Oracle as the database but i'm currently migrating it to MySQL. I've used the
Struts framework. And i'm planning to add AJAX to it in coming days.
So, the whole thing is up and working on my local machine, how do i host it on a server so that its available in the internet?
Which hosting service is required for this kind of website?
How do i choose a hosting service?
And the most important of all, how to deploy and make the code running in the remote server.
I'm planning to go for a shared server for the moment.

I recently moved a site from one hosting company to another. I went to the registrar and pointed the DNS at the new nameservers, and set up a new ftp account to upload the site. The DNS seemed to resolve ok after a few hours, (in my browser I was seeing the new host's default home page) so I uploaded the site to the new host.
Today sometimes I see the new site and sometimes the old!
I'll be editing pages and uploading them by ftp, then suddenly I'll see a different directory structure on the remote server. Similarly I'll refresh my browser while looking at the new site and... Hey! I'm seeing the page on the old site!
I've cleared the browser cache on my machine btw.
My guess is that either a server somewhere in the path (at my local service provider?) is throwing out old cached versions of the page, perhaps when it is busy, or that not all the nameserver/dns records have updated.

Can't access my web site, my web host says it's my ISP.
My WebHost said "It seems that your ISP cannot resolve the domain".
Can an ISP have any control over the accessibility of individual domains?
That's sounds a little strange to me.
My ISP support is currently closed, but I suspect they'll tell me to contact my web host.
I was able to access it earlier today.
What do you think? Is the ISP theory possible?

I'm a university designer trying to find hosting for a video textbook. I have about 330MB of videos framed in a single swf/html/js page.
Our course is about 300 students, and we'd expect the site to be largely dormant except for traffic spikes right before exams, when everyone will want to access the material.
We know nothing about linux images or server maintenance or anything required to use an unmanaged VPS. I'm mostly just concerned about having enough bandwidth not to upset ToS, but I'm unsure of what this actually translates to. Any hosting advice would be extremely appreciated, from specs we should look for to specific hosts. We're lost fishies!
