Market For Ultra Premium VPS
May 25, 2008
In your opinion do you believe there is a market for a very high end VPS solution?
Something like:
Equal Share CPU (3.0GHz)
3GB Ram reserved
8GB burst
250GB storage (15K drives)
3000GB bandwidth transfer
The thing that makes this “Ultra Premium” would be the host server resource guarantee.
Host server would be undersold in memory, making the possibility of burst memory availability very high.
Max of 8 shares, no host server would ever run more than 8VMs
Each VM would have an affinity for a particular CPU core, at a 1:1 ratio.
All resources are allocated from the beginning.
Host server spec’s would read something like this
2 x 3.0 5450 Xeon
32GB Fully Buffered memory
6x Seagate 15K 450 SAS drives in RAID5 array.
Gigabit uplink

I have been reading this forum for a while and received a lot of good information, so I though it would be time I shared my experience with ultrahosting.com.
We needed to upgrade from a VPS to a dedciated, so after a lot of research we ended up going with ultrahosting (Not enought research. The company is backed by a bigger Candian company, but this is one of the worst experiences we had with a hosting company. We have recieved better services from oversold shared hosting. Our server was supposed to be up and running in three days, it took five days. We had a hard drive fail right from the start (OK maybe not their fault), but it took two days to get fixed and back up and running. About a week later they said we had to rebot our server and then we lost connection for about 28 hours before they fixed it. Over all it has not been a good experience with ultrahosting. They are ot the most friendly people to deal with. After all this we decided to move to another company. We have called to cancel our server with them and we were told we had to fill out a support ticket to cancel.
Well a week later and they still haven't cancelled our server, in fact they charged us again for another month.
We are a pretty easy going and don't expect too much, but this was a joke. I usually don't bash anyone, but I did want other people to know about this before they were sucked into the same thing. All I can say is that before you buy a dedciated server, read through these forums and listen to other peoples experience with hosting companies to see what really is a good company.

Do you think there are already enough Hosts in the VPS industry in particular and overall Hosting industry in general?
Just wanted to know the experts' opinion, because I can see thousands and thousands of web hosting companies online.

Anyone else having this annoying spam?
Since we changed domain and added hosting at the end we didn't go for privacy with our information. Now for the last 2 weeks I have received an average of about 7 phone calls asking me to advertise our web design company and if I would like cheaper call plans for my phone to which I reply we don't do web design..
I ask "how did you aquire our information?"
Replies "you don't want to advertise / cheap calls?"
I reply "can you answer me first please?"
there reply "goodbye" or words to that affect.
Now if i'm not mistaken is there some companies selling our whois information as market research?

I've been collecting quotes from various colo providers for 1 full cabinet in Virginia. I've been surprised at how much power costs these days, but I also understand power is in short supply.
One quote I got raised a question though. For a Class C (non-portable) IP address space, they want $256/month (so I guess that's $1 per IP). Their other pricing seems in line with the other quotes I have received, but no other place wants to charge for IP addresses like that. Is $256/month for a Class C considered normal market rate?
Does that reflect their costs? Are they paying a price per month upstream for IPs?

I couldn't find any info on it so I thought I would ask. Does Apple have any sort of market share for production web servers? Or any other types of servers?

I just looked at netcraft and was surprised to see apache's market share down to 50%. Last time I looked in 2005 it was at 70% and climbing. You can clearly see that Microsoft and Apache are a near perfect reflection of each other.
So why is everyone going to Windows servers now?

hosts with more than five years in the market without sound negative reviews here?
I could not find any negative review about Futurequest and Downtownhost but there must be more.

What is the exact meaning of Premium Bandwidth? Some hosts advertise it. Is it meaning 100Mbps or something? Or an advertising gimmick? I searched WHT but I just get a million references to it w/o explanation
Thanks

I have seen this term on several threads. What is Premium hosting? Is it a higher end shared hosting or is it something totally different?

Seems like some of the more premium colo's out there will only do full racks or higher. And to me, "premium" are companies like equinix, savvis, and iland.
We are coming from managed servers at Rackspace and are used to a pretty awesome support level. While reliability and uptime are the most important to us we also need a great service level.
Anyone have any recommendations on any Colo's that provide that sort of premium bandwidth, data center and service but also does half-racks?

Is that much - 32 GB Premium Server Memory?
Simplehelix.com offers that in their plans and I wonder if it's enough for high-intensive web sites.

Does anyone know of a premium business web host? I'm looking for shared linux hosting, but not from some unreliable "budget" provider. I was considering MediaTemple, but discovered that they aren't very reliable after reading many reviews. Now the only provider left on my list is LiquidWeb. Does anyone else have any good ideas?
- Must be under $40/month (that's a lot for shared hosting)
- I don't need that much space or bandwidth (at LEAST 3-5 GB space and 150GB bandwidth) <- Scratch that, at least 60GB bandwidth

if you know any premium VPS hosts.
Their price on the *Smallest Package* must be around $50 - $70.
I will not consider any companies that carry $20.00 VPS packages.
I want a rock solid VPS.
No Mickey Mouse, Dollar hosting for me.
What I want:
Linux,
C-panel or Hsphere
Fantastic - not important
Disk space - not important (finding a good host is more important. I can always buy more disk space)

I am currently working on a site which has a series of tutorials on (videos, pdfs and html content.) I have not actually written a line of code for the site yet, as I want to make sure that I can provide great content as well as a nice site.
Anyway the idea is that users land on my site, can view the free tutorials without having to sign up. However to access other tutorials, users are required to sign up and pay a (very small) premium membership. The tutorials are to be sold per tutorial, so a user can buy access to one at a time.
eg
User buys tutorials for topic 'apples' and user then has unlimited access to the entire 'apples' package - videos, pdfs etc.
If the user then decides to purchase the topic 'pears' they then also have unlimited access to that topic.
As well as providing the content, I would also like to provide a forum. Ideally users would have a single sign up for the site, so they can then buy topics and use the forum. It would also be slicker if the user only had one log-in form for the whole site.
I have been thinking about ways of implementing this and have come up with the following:
1) Use a static site for some simple static pages - eg about us, home, contact us etc. and just link from the main site to the forum. In the forum i could have restricted access to certain sub-forums and just manually change the access once i receive payments [unless there is a simple way to automate this?]
2) Use a CMS which has forum module and a restricted access module
Ideally I would like to have all of the processes automated and use the CMS, but is there any other methods that people can suggest? Also can anyone recommend a CMS with these abilities? I have looked at Joomla, and have seen that it has a module for the payment part, but it looks like a lot of mucking around to get the forum integrated properly.
Does anyone know if you can set up a forum software which you can just point to a database where it will get the user information that it needs for a member?
Feel free to post any thoughts on my set up, I read a couple of posts below that a guy is looking to do a similar thing, but don't worry my content is very specific and is nothing to do with computers.

Im a webdesigner so when looking for hosting i try to find one that is simple to manage, hardware powerful, lots of ready to install scripts and a beautiful webmail like Atmail or Zimbra.
So im looking for a powerful / quality high end "shared" hosting package.
Until now i have looked at:
- Mediatemple
(as @mail, exelent support but slow in Europe)
- Mosso
(is always good to be powered by rackspace but i think that the cloud hosting concept is still unsstable. Any experience?
- SimpleHelix (realy fast magento demo store, lots of scripts, @Mail and seems to have a fast network to europe)
So any advices on premium shared hosting?
An in Europe, any company similar to mediatemple or simplehelix?
Budjet: up to 100 $

So I set up a Cloud VM to host a number of websites and as a precaution I enabled the Parallels Antivirus.... wow. The server memory usage has shot up from 55% to 108% when it is turned on.
This is bonkers - how can I reduce the memory back to a safer % while keeping the AV turned on? Are there other services that are non essential that I can turn off without effecting performance?

Can I use this edition for hosting on dedicated server, and how does it compare to the enterprise edition ? Can it be used with hosting? The web edition sucks as I can not install ms sql on it, so it is useless. Anyone use sbs server to host his website, because most of the link i read never mention it for hosting, and only for print sharing/ filesharing/ business applications, but where is it's use for hosting?
So what do you think ? IO looked at its infor and it did not provide much?
