What do you think about solidhost.com as windows VPS provider? I was suggested with them for that kind of web hosting.
At the first view their offers seems good and featureful for me. [url]
What you think? And price is not an option.
I'm considering getting a VPS server to run 2 or 3 small websites and also a SVN and Trac server for a team of at present 2 people. In the future, I can see this team getting no bigger than 5 - 10 people.
At the moment I am considering the Starter Plan from Solidhost (Drat, can't post links)
Or the £22/month plan from a2b2 (Drat, can't post links)
I am based in the UK myself, so really a UK server would be best for me as I understand UK (and to some extent, European) law a lot more than US law (not that I would be hosting anything illegal, it's just having to think "Hmm, can I do that in America" before I do something... bleh)
The Solidhost server seems to be fully managed, that's nice to know because considering I am currently running the SVN and Trac server from my house on an old Laptop, I still have a tenancy to break things
The a2b2 server says it's Semi-Managed, although it doesn't (or at least that I can see) state whether this includes server hardening in the Management scheme, this is something which Solidhost seem to be keen on helping people with.
Anyway, was just wondering what other people though about these plans in general and also hopefully get some opinions of people on these plans.
Does any one know what's up with solidhost?
I have a VPS plan with them that includes 6 dedicated IP's. they have only issused me 2 so I have asked them to issues 2 more. I have sent about 10 emails to their billing department (which handles this) and no one has responded. The technical department is replying to me but only in regards to technical prblems.
during the last five months I've been using a (to me) new hosting provider called SolidHost[url]. Things have been working out really good so I'd like to give you all a review of them.
First of all, some background:
5 months ago I set out to find a European hosting provider (I live in Europe) after having bad after bad hosting experience over in the States. I had experienced high latencies, really slow MySQL connections, slow support times and the likes. Being tired of it all (and I'm not saying all American providers suck, I've just had a touch of bad luck) I decided to move my stuff over to Europe (despite the usual higher price over here).
Anyways, prior to changing hosting company over to SolidHost I was used to ordinary shared-servers (as you can imagine there's a huge speed increase going over to a VPS) and also the support response times had been quite lengthy...
So without further ado, here's a semi-short review, in parts
On Support:
So far, the support has been absolutely amazing. Never, ever, have I had support response back at me in 5-10 minutes time before. The support answers have always come back, with a friendly and professional tone. Quick and to the point.
For me, coming from a shared server environment, I also felt extra safe having a Fully Managed server - meaning that those questions about Plesk or some other server related stuff won't be silently answered (extra firewall security, turning off root login to SSH and stuff like that). A good start into the VPS area for me I think.
Speed:
The speed is the best I ever had on a server, using SSH is almost as fast as typing stuff into my Mac OS X terminal and downloading stuff from my own server via http is as fast as my own broadband connection takes it (2mbit), trying it out at the University where I study gives me even higher speeds when downloading stuff from the server (last time I was up at 2 MB/sec).
Configurability:
Anyone having had a VPS before knows that you can do a lot more with these babies than with a shared-server. Of course there are things prohibitetd by contract (IRC-bots and such things) but you request to get yum to be installed (or do it yerself) and you can roll in the programs you like. Im running Ruby on Rails on Mongrel via Apache proxy on my server for example.
Cost:
Well, like I said a fully-managed VPS does come with a little more cost than a shared-server. I use the Linux Starter VPS which costs 39€/month, add 5€ for the Plesk stuff and you land on 44€ paid monthly. It's not cheap, but not exactly expensive either if you take in the fully-managed part (at least I think think so).
So, to sum up: Excellent! Five out of five stars!
I wish I could say that I was sponsored by SolidHost and that this is why I am writing this review, but I am not - this is just one of those moments where I realise that I've had my server with a company for five months without having anything to complain about, rather the opposite (and thus I am writing this review).
Big ups SolidHost, and thank you for doing a really good job so far!
If you have any questions regarding my hosting experience, fire away and I'll try to answer to the best of my abaility.
I am trying to install Magento on my apache server. I am running into the dreaded mcrypt issue as Magento needs it to run. I have now been googling for the past few hours and have gotten nowhere.
Here are my details:
Linux
Centos 5.5
PHP 5.3.3
x86_64
Plesk 12
I have tried installing all sorts of different repos and it just isn't working.
When I try to install using # yum install php-mcrypt I get the following:

To make ASP run under Linux, PHP script files are saved as ASP extensions and are redirected to the PHP interpreter. So it looks like the server serves ASP files, but these are actually PHP scripts.

I have recently purchased a GoDaddy Virtual Server running Fedora 7, with the Plesk Control Panel 8.3 installed - if I had remembered this site then I probably wouldn't have chosed GoDaddy, however my colleague runs a GoDaddy server and it works like a dream. I have only one domain on the site, running Boonex Dolphin 6.1. The site however runs EXCEPTIONALLY slow.
I have spoken with many friends that use Dolphin and they have no major issues. I also did a search on Google and found that there appear to be no major speed issues with Dolphin.
The site I am running is http://www.tkd-web.com
I wondered if some of you guys could take a look and let me know if it looks like a hosting issue or a scripting issue. Or what information do you need to know to find out the answer to this problem.

I need a host that is not easily scared off by American DMCA take-down notices. Please understand, nothing I do is illegal.
