JustHost & ImHosted Speeds
Oct 16, 2009
i am changing my hosts from hostgator to the JustHost or ImHosted.
I am trying to buy shared hosting plan. I DO NOT want a video sharing website. My website will serve around 100-150 videos of each 5 mints duration.
I am confused about speed of these hosts.
My questions are
1. How can i check the speed of these hosts (JustHost) & (ImHosted). (Any sample file download will do)
2. How can i know which of these host has the fastest data transfer rate to my country. (PAKISTAN)
3. ImHosted says it has OC-192, JustHost says it has OC-96. But how to confirm it?
I am inclined towards JustHost as they are way cheaper than ImHosted. But i am also concerned about speed. Will a OC-96 connection(JustHost) will serve a 5mint video well.?

if there is anything I can do to make ImHosted answer my emails. I signed up like two months ago. Asked a support question got no real answer. Just circles I guess they don't know much about hosting or just like talking in circles. So I canceled in about 3 or 4 hours. Then after a week of sending many emails they finally refunded after I started a paypal dispute. I forgot to cancel the subscription in paypal so the next month I was charged the 30 bucks. Now they answered first email and said they would take care of it.
Now two weeks has gone by they don't respond to any emails and the chat says that its billing and I have to contact them only by email. So now I guess I'll have to wait for paypal to try to get my money back. Its sad I don't have an account with them but they won't give back my money. I would watch using there service. There servers are deathly slow. Nothing works like it should. They have support chat but really all they do is have you submit a ticket.

I signed up for there 1 year plan, i was waiting for 3 to 4 days and didnt got any response from them in regards of how to setup my account or whats next...
I called them several times.. It will take you to a dead voicemail even if you select any choices like "billing, sales.. etc. u will get "LEAVE A MESSAGE". If u leave ur phone number u will get "NO REPLY:
I send few emails to all there departments in regards of this issue. I will always get an automated reply... "We have forwarded it to the right department.. Thats's all.. nothing else..
I called my credit card company and told them to deny any payments from lypha. I send out a cancellating letter and refund if u charge me. Still a reply "We have forwarded it to the right department"..
If this is the case, if my site goes down i am sure that i will never get a support.
They do have some online supports named "Ashley.. blahh blaahh etc...". It will says they are currently online.. when u tried to chat it says "Leave a message"..
I been with many hosts but his is the first time i am seeing a host like this.. piece of crap...

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've heard/read many bad reviews about JustHost. Even couple of my friends had very bad experience with them and i witnessed it. But my question is that Why is it everywhere?
Whenever i search on google "best webhosts", "good webhosts", i always get JustHost between top 5. On the other hand my hosting "Hostgator" many times ranks in 7 to 10 position. I am highly satisfied with my host.
Why is it so? Why JustHost ranks top?

I've narrow it down to either justhost.com and hostgator.com
Both seems to have positive reviews.
I am leaning a little more towards justhost.com because it fits my needs.

I would just like to give you a little warning about justhost.com. This is my experience, but I think I was just very unlucky.
I signed up last Thursday, everything seemed to be great. When signing up it said that everything will be setup within 24 hours. The money was withdrawn and I got a confirmation email from paypal.
After 30 hours I still haven't heard anything from the justhost. I checked a whois for the domain I had signed up for; it still wasn't registered. I chatted with one of their agents. I have mixed thoughts about the agents. They respond really quickly which is great, but they don't seem to have any privileges to do anything. They will only answer your questions and they will tell you who to email if something is needed to be done (from my experience).
The agent said that I should email their billing section. So I emailed them, but I didn't get any response to that ticket.
After 3 days I talked to an agent again. Same story; email billing. But they said everything will be setup within the next 24 hours. I emailed them again...
After 4 days (still nothing had happened) I talked to an agent again. He said he can't find the information about me. So I patiently emailed them my info again.
After 5 days I talk to an agent once again. I started asking why nothing has happened.
After I started getting a little angry over the chat (because nothing was happening) he shut down the conversation.
I then emailed their billing team to say I want a full refund. The refunding worked better than I would expect (since nothing had worked before). My money was refunded on paypal about 24 hours later. They apologized in the email and said that this is very unusual.
I feel that it's very unprofessional to charge a customers credit card and then lose the information about the customer and not doing anything about it.

I am looking for a host for a website I am working on.
It is for an association of about 200-300 members, and I do assume that not all of them will visit the site.
The site consists of mainly text, and one weekly podcast.
Considering this kind of usage, I have been looking around for hosting.
I first looked at JustHost and FatCow.
JustHost sounded great because of the price at 2.95/month and free domain for life, but if I decide to change host, I wonder what they will do to my domain. They also promise "unlimited features" and that is usually too good to be true. Although they have amazing reviews all around the internet, not only the biased ranking websites but I snooped deeper, I am not quite sure they are what I need.
Same thing for FatCow, but I do have a little bit more confidence in them because they have been in business for 10 years I believe where JustHost has only been there for a year. FatCow was at just under 5$/month. Plus, its 100% wind-powered...
Last option I found was SharkSpace.com. I found it, being a sticky in one of the forums here. I am interested in the Hammerhead Shared Hosting package. I believe they do not oversell, and its not UNLIMITED webspace and bandwidth. They have been in business since 2004 so its still longer than many other hosts. They also have amazing reviews, I have yet seen a negative one. And finding a coupon for 3.98$/month is also a really good deal for something that looks more reliable. But to that I will have to buy my domain elsewhere as it is not included. 10$/year = 4.81$/month.
Longest lasting business: Fat Cow, Also most expensive.
What I believe is the most reliable: SharkSpace
Cheapest Price: Just Host
If you know another host that you know is reliable, fast, and trustworthy, in the same price range. Let me know too.

Im currently running a streaming media (video) site on a p4 3.0 GHz with 2 gigs of ram. I think its a 10mpbs unmetered port. It streams extremly slow, to the point where it lags every second. It does this even though their is only 6 people on, with loads of 200 it just freezes up. What configuration would be able to hold traffic of 200 people constantly. I was on a faster server with hostgator, their dedicated pro but i went through the bandwidth in 5 days.

Just wondering really, if you have a 1U cooler like an Akasa AK-CC029-5 or Dynatron P199, do these generally run full speed 24x7 or should they be bios controlled?
I've never had any cooling issues or reliability issues with either of these coolers, but they don't seem to want to be controlled through the bios on all of the boards I have used, so they run full whack 24x7

For those of you that complain about the slow loading speed of your sites due to being on over-loaded servers or over-sold bandwidth, why do you think that the discounted rate is worth the loss of customers that you might earn if your site loaded faster.
Have you ever given your sites a try on a quality host where your site loaded faster? You might be surprised at how much more effective your marketing was when surfers stay around long enough to see your site load.
Some times in the effort to secure such a great deal and save a penny, you wind up loosing a dollar, it might not make a difference to all of you but some will be surprised at the ROI for a bit better hosting!

how to tune linux (currently running fedora4) server to improve download speeds for the client. I have observed that if i download from sun it is very fast compared my own server which is hosted on cogent backbone or any other.
Please take into account that both mine and other server both are at relatively same number of hops and ping time. and my server and the carrier has enough bandwidth to fill whole 100mbps, even the client is a server which is on a different backbone which can fill whole 100mbps, also guys i was able to fill whole 100mbps while downloading from sun. but when i download test file from my server it is lagging at 3mbps around. only single thread using wget command. Now what is it i need to do to get my server able to push full pipe even for single thread, ping time is 25ms. if not full at least half. let me know if you have some workaround, and server is apache no load.

I'm currently using ipower, which just switched to fewer but larger servers. The impact for me is a new throttle in download speed, which is about 350KB/sec (although I can do FTP downloads when logged in at 500KB/sec. Previously, with the more but smaller servers, you just got a share of what was available on the server with no throttle, and when activity was low on a server, it was enough to max out my cable's limitation of about 1.5MB/sec (12 mega-bits / second).
It seems that few web hosting sites will specify typical download speeds from a web hosting account. I'm hoping that members here could report what they are getting from various web hosting services.
My web site is
jeffareid.net
A "hobby" web site, mostly videos from car racing games, just niche market enough to not attract excessive traffic.

I just found that my VPS uses ADSL - which makes no sense since the download speed into vps isn't important, it is the upload speed. BTW, it has 100mbps port - so the port is fine, it is the network.
1. What upload speeds are available for VPS's (in mid price range)?
2. What is a reliable way to test upload speed?

Can someone who has a server with ecatel check what their download speeds are from USA?
I'm getting < 30kb/s and the port is at 20mb/s... so there should be much more speed.

I serve mp3 dj mixes for some friends and am coming up on the end of my current hosting contract here in the next couple of months. They have been a fantastic host the only reason I am working on looking elsewhere is cost-related.
I got a unbelievable deal when I signed up last year and it would run me almost $300 to renew for another year, which is out of my price range.
Aside from great uptime (99.97% over 10 months), the thing I really like about the current host is their download speed. I have a 1mb cable connection at home and consistently download files at 850ish/kbps. Everyone I have spoken with has experienced similar speeds. This is much faster than any host I have ever used and is twice as fast as another host I use.
So, what I am looking for is a host that offers something similar in that regard that's around $10/month and optimally has coupons/deals floating around.
I would be happy getting 650kbps/sec, obviously the faster the better. Uptime is always a consideration, however this is more of a hobby and I am not expecting the same uptime that I get currently.
I am not against using a dreaded 'overseller' for this venture, I just need something that pushes large files fast.
I have plenty of time to find a new host, but would like to start getting a short list put together so I can request test files and whatnot.

I've recently purchased a VPS 250P package from EuroVPS and actually signed up for a two year contract as I respect the company so much however the speeds I've got, since finishing optimising the server, surprise me.
I'm already using a VPS from another dutch company until I move everything over to EuroVPS but the difference in speeds are a little concerning to me.
Please can you guys look at these response times and tell me if they are normal?
Current VPS: Page created in 0.035 seconds with 11 queries.
EuroVPS: Page created in 0.199 seconds with 8 queries.
Both servers are using the same spec, optimisations and PHP cache however my current VPS is using Apache1/PHP5/MySQL5 and with EuroVPS I can't afford to get them to upgrade to version5 so it's running on Apache2/PHP4/MySQL4.
I did get this response from EuroVPS, does it explain the difference in times?
"...we are using enterprise kernels which are slower than standard SMP/UP kernels. The performance of our VPS instances is not as high as some competitors who are using these faster, but smaller kernels.".
Once again, I have the utmost respect for EuroVPS and love their support but would appreciate some opinions on this from you guys.

I have seen that most hosting companies will post a download link with a file for speed testing purposes. I understand that I can download this and watch the speed, etc.
What is the best way to do a download test?
For instance if I just download the file to my machine I am concerned that I am not doing a good test. I am using firefox on XP and while the download is running it shows a speed that goes up and down. I am not sure if that is a realtime number or a cumulative number based on the total download to date. If it is cumulative then I guess I would just watch the number towards the end of the download to get an idea of the speed.

I have been lurker for long time already but now decided to ask this question I have been wondering about past few months.
I rent an dedicated server from KeyWeb, with dedicated 100mbps link. The server itself isn't that good & fast, but it's just perfect for my gaming server (E4500, 2GB DDR-2 ram and 2 x 320GB sata 2 drives)
Now to the problem. Always when I download some big files with this server from ftp or html server, and if I only open one connection, speed is very poor... Like 1MB/s or so, but if I use some download manager or torrent client which opens more than just one connection, +10 or so... Then the speed is very good, sometimes it goes up to 15MB/s. The server is actually connected to 1gbps switch but I think the port is limited to 100mbps.
At speedtest (dot) net, I get results like 17mbps down and 8mbps down.
So... Is that normal or is there something wrong? I've not contacted them yet, but if this isn't normal. I will Ofcourse I'll try to solve this on my own.
and before someone asks if this ftp I'm downloading from is not fast enough... I can tell you, it's. I downloaded one big file from it at school and at max speed was about 9MB/s

I am trying to gather more information regarding Mediatemple's Nitro DPV service and also MT's network speed/connection.
Most information I see is regarding the Gridserver service which is quite poorly reviewed, but I would be quite skeptical if this census could also be applied to the higher end Nitro service? -- the Mediatemple service is running sites like Techcrunch, Mashable, etc. so I am assuming the service is better with the higher end Nitro service?
There hasn't been any reviews of the Nitro service, so still trying to get some feedback from current Nitro customers or MT Complex Hosting customers. Any here who would like to share?
As far a network speeds, the ping does seem slightly slower than some other host (according to pingdom tools), but suppossedly they are a tier 4 data center if that means anything.
