I was about to recommend Dream Host to someone. Normaly I just say goto DreamHost.com and enter this promo code ...
Well when I went to the site to see what the package was, a "Sales Robot" came up with a $50 off link. It filled in the promo code spot. Not with my code, but with theirs.
I'm not sure how everyone else feels about this, but I consider it stealing commissions. It's one thing if the link didn't affect my being able to be the referer, but it's a whole nother game when promo codes override the referral credit. Since they use promo codes to track the referral, this really is switching the referral.
Now their website says you can use the promo codes OR a link, it doesn't say anywhere you have to use both. So even if this bot doesn't come up when there is a referral link, it's *still* stealing.
So - what are your thoughts, and has this been happening all along? Does this explain why I've only received 2 referrals when I mention it all the time to my readers?
I'm a non-techie trying to choose a dedicated hoster. From searching through reviews and prices, I've come down to Lunar Pages or Liquid Web. Would you please give me your opinions of these two, and if there are others that you feel strongly about instead, mention those as well? I would really appreciate it -- I'm very anxious about choosing a reliable company with good service, b/c I'll pretty much be at their mercy! (Life is hard for the non-technical
My programmer gave me these requirements: managed hosting, windows server 2003 or 2008, web edition, 2 GB ram, ms sql server 2005 or above, quad core processor from 1.8 - 2.4 ghz, firewall, automatic backup -- 10 GB, remote desktop connection.
So, I plan to switch to one of those two dedicated server hosts. I am not sure which one is better. I kinda like them both, but have no experience with them. What do you think?
Liquidweb.com offer:

Wiredtree.com offer:

I am leaning to Wiredtree because they are new and small company (i think) and I think these new companies are quite nice to their customers in fullfiling their needs but that is non objective opinion. Both companies have good reviews out there. So it's simply choice of user experience with them.
So, in your humble opinion which one should become my favorite host for the next few years.
i wanted to get a comparison, reviews or just which one you think is best and why because i just cant choose
it seems that wiredtree, liquidweb, servin and knownhost are the best of the best, so anyone with exp with any of them or all, id appreciate the feedback!
how is rackspace? i hear they are extremely expensive though
Not interested in reseller plans or any of that - strictly as a site for domain purchase and personal site hosting. I have them and am becoming very unsatisfied and looking for alternatives.
Based on my experience with their twin brand, Hostmonster, I would say that they should be just fine for a hobby site/playing around. I don't know about their support, as I didn't use it.
I did a search, and found mostly good things about solarVPS here. I want a little more re-assurance and hope that others that had good or bad experience with them can chip in on their VPS service.
I'm using Awardspace right now, but cannot say that I'm completely happy with them, mostly because of the downtime issues. It is up pretty much 99% of the time as they claim, but there are some issues with mysql database latency which from time to time make my site inaccessible, even thought the server is actually up.
Anybody else using this service ?
I'm talking about Awarspace paid, not free service
I search VPS with DirectAdmin and Debian Etch 4.0 based on Xen technology.
It's serious xenEurope?
Why use hardware enterprise class for the vps machines?
Where VPS per nodes?
I have realized ping in this web xenEurope, the results:

I have found Hostnine hosting company! These guys seems to provide the most suitable conditions for my future website, could you please leave your opinions about this company if you have ever had a deal with them!
i would like some advice on getting a domain and a website ..ok now iv done a bit of research and read some articles about keyword and all and i do have a domain name in mind but dont really know if it would be sussesfull so i want ur opinion the name is (URL address blocked: See forum rules) - or it could be .com.au it dosent matter ...both of them are avalible.and the site i would be looking at putting on it would really just be a bit of a personal site ...with forum and chats and a bit of stuff about me and where im from ...so what do u guys think would that be great or not?
Does anyone here use rsync palace? Their prices look good, but there is not a lot of company information, which I may need before recommending this service.
I seen these two mentioned in a thread, but doing a search on either one here brings up nothing. Just thought I would get some opinions if anyone here uses either of these companies.
new colocation provider, and so I've started a thread for each one that I'm seriously considering. I hope to draw on your collective experience to help me with this decision.
Anyone had any experience with Layer42 colocation in Santa Clara?
Thanks, Matt Olson Ruby Cloud
Some background on my requirements: I'm looking for a single cabinet with 40amps and a pretty small bandwidth commit for now -- probably 1-2Mbps, but increasing to probably 20 early next year. I'd want 24x7 access, and really just need space, power, and network, not any managed services. I'm looking for a reliable provider with full redundancy throughout, good security, and a nice multihomed bandwidth mix on a single 100Mbps drop. I want to work with a stable company with a good reputation for constant uptime and good service.

I had the chance to work with the summit24 switches, and I personally liked them. It is straight-forward in my opinion for the Web Interface compared to others I have seen and the pricing seems to be reasonable.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of their switching devices.
What do you think about this cabinet style's ability to cool say 18-20 1U core 2 duo servers? [see attached jpeg.]
its got a fan in the ceiling of it. I have read that ceiling fans don't do much and its the front to back cooling that really makes a difference. Is this true?
If you don't like this type of cab, which type do you like?
