InnoHosting As A VPS Provider
Aug 7, 2008Could anyone deliver a review about Inno as a VPS provider? Support, server resources etc...
View 5 Replies View RelatedInnohosting Vps Or Shared Hosting
Mar 25, 2009i see that inno offers vps as well.
reseller thread 729840
So using these specs:
"I need a reseller with whatever space and bandwidth is applicable, and a price up around $20-$30. I need php 5 / mysql 5 , ssh for the reseller account and all subaccounts, ftp as well, memcached (future)
White label to allow my own nameservers.
WHM and WHMCS / billing software. This should be included and not an addition cost or yearly licence levy.
The reseller account must not oversell or be on oversellers. I need good uptime, performance and speed on the box.
The IP addresses for the nameservers and the main resell account should be included in the price.
Unlimited email and the ability to mass email a reasonable amount of emails from any of the sold accounts in a 24 hour period- for php list / mail lists (not spam) etc.
US Data center please.
And the company must have some sort of intellectual property policy document." from that thread, am i better off with a reseller or a vps?
Can i get branded nameservers in a vps scenario? hows that work?
Will I have access to the vps only via ssh or via a remote desktop type method?
I'm a software developer, not an admin, but I have centos in a virtualbox if that means anything..
Innohosting, Inmotion, Hostgator, Arvixe
Jan 9, 2009Any reviews about these would be great!
Just tried contacting Innohosting in a variety of ways for some questions and no one is available....I'm taking this as a bad sign....I'd like a good webhost with RVsitebuilder and fantastico..
About InnoHosting, HostGator, GeekStorage, FlyHigh, KnownHost
May 27, 2008(The features I asked for: Zend Optimizer, IonCube Loader, cron jobs, PHP.ini, .htaccess, mod_rewrite, PHP SAFE MODE OFF, and PDO for MySQL -- and I focused on packages around or below US$20)
HOST: InnoHosting - They get amazing reviews here, and I got excellent (!) live chat support (from Rameen I believe). He responded the second I clicked the 'Live chat' button, and was able to answer even my most technical questions right off the bat. Fast, efficient, and to the point - very cool. They are also one of the most expensive in my lineup though, at $20 for a 10GB/200GB solution, which is really the only downside I've found.
FEATURES: Inno offered every feature except SSH, but they told me if I needed something (within reason) done on the server, just let them know and they would be happy to do it for me.
PRICE: $20 for a 10GB/200GB reseller package
HOST: HostGator - They seem to have a good reputation here too, apart from the odd complaint over backups and business practices. I get the impression that HG is HUGE, which is both appealing and scary, since huge hosts may be more reliable in the long run, but often don't do support too well. I contacted them via live chat, which I'm sorry to say wasn't as great an experience as InnoHosting. It took quite a while for a supporter to reply, and for every question, I had to wait up to several minutes before getting an answer. Also, he couldn't answer my more technical questions, instead referring me to email support. He did however supply me with a URL to phpinfo() when I asked about it, and I found my answers in there.
FEATURES: HostGator offered every feature I asked about, although they mentioned I might have to contact support for mod_rewrite privileges. I'm not sure I trust the supporters answers entirely, but it's hard to argue with their price and the ability to move to one of (seemingly) hundreds of other servers if I wind up on a too-crowded one.
PRICE: $8 for a 600GB/6TB package (which is obviously pure über-overselling, but check out blog.hostgator.com/2007/10/06/selling-out/ (wasn't allowed to link the URL) for a refreshingly honest explanation by Brent)
HOST: GeekStorage - These guys stand out in the lineup in several ways: First of all, they don't have a great reputation here, and secondly, they have an entirely different concept than pretty much every other hosting provider out there. They are geeks, cater to geeks, and talk the geek talk. From what I've heard though, they don't always walk the geek walk, but I just find their site so appealing. The simple fact that they specify their plans in true geek detail says a lot. They don't have live chat support though, so I contacted them via their ticket system, and received a response (from Jay Higdon) after 5 hours. That's acceptable for pre-sales, but I sincerely hope they have better response times for customers in distress. However, their forums seem to tell a tale of frequent outages and frustrated clients.
FEATURES: Like true geeks, GS supported everything on my list, except PHP.ini access (users are supposed to use php_value in .htaccess instead, which is probably fine in most cases). In addition, the GS package has 2 dedicated IPs, MX record access, and a whole slew of other neat features that nearly noone else offers - and that I don't really need, but they do make my geek heart all warm and fuzzy.
PRICE: $20 for a 25GB/200GB reseller package, which is about the disk space I need, so that alone makes it an appealing choice.
HOST: Fly high / FlyHigh - Another company with great reviews on the forum. I really wanted to check them out, but their database is down, so I can't get through to the customization, and I can't even open their contact page. Sadly, that little glitch is going to cost them my business. If FlyHigh is reading this, you probably want to get on that pronto, hint hint..
FEATURES / PRICE: I couldn't even ask them, so I wouldn't know.
HOST: KnownHost - KnownHost seems to have a good following on WHT as well, so I decided to check them out just now. I emailed the about features an hour ago exactly, so I haven't heard from them yet. (I will update my post here as soon as I do.)
FEATURES: (coming)
PRICE: $20 for a 10GB/75GB reseller package
Other hosts I checked out, who didn't make the cut:
* HawkHost: Their live chat appeared to be online, but noone replied. That's an instant disqualification with me, even if their service looked great and their reputation on WHT is excellent.
* GoDaddy: I've heard mostly bad things about GoDaddy, but their insanely low prices ($7 for 150GB/1.5TB) warranted a closer look. Their website is one huge epilepsy-inducing mess though, and I couldn't find half the info I needed, so I went with my gut feeling and ditched them.
So now - barring a _really_ good offer from someone else - it's down to either Inno or Gator for me, especially because they are both avid readers/contributors here on WHT, which is a huge lpus for me. But I'm really not sure which to pick. The great support at Inno, or the larger disk space at Gator. 10 GBs will be cramped for my use, but Inno charges $40-45 for 20 GBs, which seems a bit steep to me (since I won't be reselling).
Clustered VPS ..?
Jul 22, 2008I have a wordpress based website that is currently doing about 500,000 uniques a month and 5gb a day. It uses the wordpress module for php caching but it is still pretty damn heavy on the CPU. I am looking for a VPS, preferably one in a clustered type of environment so that I don't need to see them reboot the (single) physical server, or be down for physical maintenance of any kind.
Also this website looks like it will continue to grow pretty fast, so a place that can handle this kind of growth would be a must.
Linux is definately preferred.

View 0 Replies View RelatedSolarVPS Vs Clustered.net
Jun 26, 2007I've narrowed down my VPS search to one of these providers.
SolarVPS.
JupiterLX
832MB Total SLM RAM
30gb storage
600gb bandwidth
with cpanel
100Mbit uplink
fully managed
not sure about the datacentre, the site says Euroconnex
around £45 per month
or
Clustered.net
512 RAM
512 swap RAM
Server has 2 x quad-core Intel Xeon "Clovertown" @ 2.33Ghz (18.64Ghz)
Max of 15 servers per node
25gb storage
300gb bandwidth
with cpanel
1Gbps uplink
1 hour replacement
fully managed
Looks like the datacentre is redbus interhouse in UK
£55 per month
Which is going to be the better quality provider? Clustered offer a 100% uptime guarantee, and for every hour a server is down they refund you a days hosting.
Clustered seem to offer tape backups? solarvps offer off-site hosting, which might come in handy as well.
I searched the forum for clustered.net, but didnt find many reviews.
From my first impressions I think clustered seem to be my best bet, although I will get less in the way of storage and bandwidth, I feel there website makes me think I'll get a better quality service. There website talks about how redundant everything is. Hopefully people can backup what I'm thinking.
Clustered Storage
Apr 9, 2008Does anyone know of a good reliable and redundant method of organizing clustered storage? I know that IBM has GPFS - has anyone actually used it? Do they charge a crap load for it?

Jul 9, 2008I've switched my VPS to clustered.net about 6 months ago and I thought I'll just share a few of my experiences.
Clustered.net has their servers in London (somewhere in Canary Wharf, I've forgotten the name of the datacentre). I signed up for their smallest VPS available with 512MB/25GB/450GB.
Connections speeds to the UK and Europe are great, as far as I can see US is no problem either. I'm in the UK and most of the traffic is from the UK, so I wanted a UK provider.
I've got a 20M cable line at home and the server is always able to give me the full 20meg. I'd say perfect. I don't have any really heavy traffic sites, though. I've got a few sites on there, but mostly wanted my own spam solution and personal server for data-transfer etc.
Not only the speed is pretty good, the server has been up and running pretty much all the time, almost no downtimes at all. Really solid performance and reliability. Once we had a outage time of a few minutes and I got money off my next bill.
They offer cpanel, which I really wanted to have. We all know that Cpanel offers great versatility, and ASSP as spam solution is fantastic. Cpanel cost a fiver more per month.
Their website is a bit wonky, which shouldn't put you off - the support is awesome! I've done stuff like locking myself out of the VPS (set the firewall a bit too tight) and I've always had a helpful reply to my query within 10 minutes. Really helpful and quick.
Their support is truly outstanding.
I've been with Interhost before and it's a difference like day and night. At Interhost I got virtually no support at all, clustered.net always helpful, always quick. Interhost was unstable and poor speeds - clustered.net is the opposite.
Their services are not exactly at the lower end of the cost scale, but if you're looking for a reliable, fast VPS in Europe with excellent service, I can only recommend them.
Dedicated Or Clustered
Apr 10, 2008I currently am in the process of building an online shop, so far we have about 200,000 products in the database to when running a search its taking up to 10 seconds to display the results which is not good enough. The setup at the moment is a cpanel vps with zipservers, 512mb ram.
Given this i have started looking for new hosting for the site which is built however it cannot be launched until we have a good server. We already have 150,000 adwrods adverts set up on pause ready to go so the project is needing to move fast.
Currently pondering between
1) a 1gb dedicated server with cpanel
2) Netfirms clustered hosting which they claim is more powerful than dedicated
at the moment i am tempted to go for the Netfirms hosting as i have used them for other projects in the past and seem to get on ok with them. They claim that when i make a database it will be servered by several sql servers which will make things much faster than if i went for the dedicated set up.
Does anyone have experience of clustered hosting and is it better than dedciated?
Clustered.net Reviews
Mar 10, 2007I am evaluating XEN hosts and was wondering if anyone has had experience with Clustered.net (UK). Their name makes it hard to search (too many false matches) and the only posts I found were in the benchmark section.
I have selected a VZ host after days of research but may need XEN for some of my other clients. (I personally prefer XEN technology for my type of applications). I am familier with serveraxis and many others (some of which cannot provide me with more than 1 or 2 IPs per server or are sold out).
clustered.net sounds interesting. They have fall-back to static pages, support backup DNS (via bind so not limited to web pages) and SMPT (the only provider I know of that does). I am NOT a panel kind of guy so not offering Cpanel or Plex is fine.
This has been gruling research but well worth it. Thanks to all who post and answer on this forum, this site is a treasure trove of knowledge!

Cpanel Clustered DNS (DNSOnly)
Jun 27, 2008Thew initial setup process for my future web hosting company will require a redundant dns setup. I was thinking of having two servers from softlayer (one on the east coast and the other on the west coast) being used as the dns servers (ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com). With one other server for handling the shared accounts, of course adding more servers (as needed) to the cluster in the future. Just wondering if this is the best possible way to setup for having only two name servers (with redundancy) for all shared account servers with my fleet. As well, I was thinking a dns only server wouldn't need to be that powerful, but I would like to be prepared in advance if you feel a strong server would be needed to handle the loads for all the shared accounts on many servers.

Oct 31, 2007I needed more control over my aplications (needed SSH, eaccelerator) and I upgraded from their Solar Cluster 3 to their 512RAM emeraldVPS.
Let me tell you the setup that these guys have rules in every way.
The only thing that runs on the VPS is Apache so you might have an idea that this may perform better in some aplications than most 1GB RAM dedicated servers that also run MySQL, mail and other services ...at a fraction of the price. MySQL, mail and dns runs on their clusters. I installed zend and eaccelerator, and now my busy Romanian blog (with wpcache) runs in 82MB RAM
I'm going to move 90% of my sites there, I have lots of space and resources to grow.
According to cpuinfo I also benefit from 8 of these:
CPU model name:
Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 865
The support guys have always been fair and square to me, they answered fast to all my questions (mostly less than 10 minutes), moved my sites on the VPS and told me what's good and what's not so good about their VPS (yes, they told me without asking them about the minor "inconvenience" I may have with the VPS before I bought it). I feel they are the kind of guys you would love going to parties and drinking beer with.

Clustered Email Server Software
Jun 8, 2009We have a client looking for a mail server solution for their business. Around ~500 members of staff will be using this so uptime is essential, we are looking to have 2 servers mirroring each other so if one goes down their emails will simply be routed onto the other server and continue to operate without issue.
We are looking for a clustered solution for redundancy similar to www.zimbra.com 's Standard edition ( the open source edition does not include clustering ) however the pricing ( $9k usd ) is simply out of the clients budget at this time.
So I am asking if people have any suggestions for software for dedicated mail servers, in this situation!
Also a plus would be to have anti virus / SPAM included as they obviously receive a large amount of spam emails.

Dedicated Or Clustered? Which One Is Better For Extremely High Traffic Sites
Apr 24, 2008hosting solution for 3 very high traffic blogs, all running on WordPress.
I have been researching dedicated and I came across a couple posts where people recommended Clustered hosting over Dedicated for better handling high traffic DB driven sites in the times of Digg or Slashdot frontpage exposure.
I would like your feedback, and your opinion on what to choose from the following options:
1. Netfirms Enterprise III (Clustered)
2. ResellerZoom Failover (Clustered)
3. LiquidWeb Dedicated Webmaster Series (Dedi w/ 2GB DDR and a 3Ghz Intel Hyperthreaded)
4. HiVelocity Dedicated (Dedi w/ Quad-Core Xeon 2.4GHz and 2GB DDR)
