Netfirms Warning

Aug 17, 2008

I recently ran into some problems:

- They doesn't support custom installation of PHPMyAdmin on their servers (You MUST use their own admin panel/pre-installed PMA or activate remote connexions)

I'm not sure to understand why PMA doesn't work, but when you create a PHP Script, you must use "MYSQLHOST" as the server host, instead of the usual "localhost". I think that PMA doesn't use the mysql_connect way to connect to the database. So maybe they doesn't allow TCP or Socket connection.

Anyway, that said, if you don't need a custom installation of PMA, you're OK for that point.

- They doesn't support the PHP FreeTypeLib, if you plan to generate image with the GD lib and add some text into it, it may be hard to get a decent result. ( Here I'm thinking of anti-bot confirmation code )

- They doesn't offer any uptime guarantee, and they have no policy in case your server will encounter sporadic down time (just the one I used did for the past 2 weeks)

... And it would be so much a problem if they where offering a reliable service and/or if they where standing behind their costumers. For that, I've been a little deceived.

{
More about the down time experience:

So we have contacted the support team, who said that the site is working well at the moment where we called. They doesn't seem to understand what an intermittent problem is.

They said that, as they doesn't see the trouble at the time of the call, they canot do anything (I was expecting them to place an http probe/monitor or something)

They asked us to take a screenshot of our browser next time that we encounter a down time. ( yes, I'm NOT kidding... a screenshot ! That's what I call technical support

}

I'm not ready to say that they are a bad hosting service, but, they are a little special as you see.

NetFirms Bandwidth Throttling

Apr 16, 2008

Im having bandwidth problems with NetFirms. Using FTP I can get 700KB/sec but when I download from my website using http, it seems to be capped at 160KB/sec. Has anyone else had this problem?

This is ridiculous. I should be getting the same speed, or at least close.

Netfirms Finally Has Mod_rewrite!

May 1, 2006

Hey guys... Not sure if this was posted yet, couldn't find anything on a first-glance search.

Netfirms has finally added mod_rewrite capabilities as well as better .htacces support! Now I'm completely happy. I was considering switching over to Dreamhost due to the fact that I've started running blog software and messy URLs = crap. Now there's no need. That was pretty much the only thing that was holding me back from a full endorsement, so if anyone's looking for a good cheap hosting plan, here's some of the stuff that I'm really happy about for $5 a month:

- quick, personal customer service (I think there's only 1 or 2 guys, and they always seem to be able to answer my questions on the spot)

- mod_rewrite
- .htaccess
- reliable clean FTP (no _vti files or other annoying folders like so many companies these days)
- good online knowledgebase
- nice online site stats viewer
- a bunch of other great stuff that I probably have forgotten about or don't use
- only $5!

Just thought I'd share in case the news hadn't spread yet. Not sure when they added it, but I noticed the "NEW" sticker today.

Does Netfirms Enterprise Good For Me ?

Feb 24, 2007

Hi, I'm going to open a site (visitors outside US) using tons of space and data transfer.

It's something need lots of space like file hosting (but most file less than 10 mb each)

So i need an affordable dedicated (or semi-dedicate) with less than $100 a month to host my site. Until it grow and i can move site to local provider (better speed, more expensive)

Currently i aimed to netfirms enterprise 2. it's $69 a month, 100 GB Space/2000 Data Trans.

Do you recommend this to me ? Or other's are better.

Setup Nameserver - 1and1 VPS + Netfirms Registrar

Nov 18, 2008

I am wondering how to set up a nameserver on my new VPS with 1and1.

I have all my domains hosted on netfirms.

This is what I have done, but doesnt seem to be working:

i have a domain ex: mycompany.com on netfirms and i created an A Record that is ns1.mydomain.com that points to the ip of the VPS ex: 55.55.55.55

I have also created an ns2.mydomain.com. I did this through the netfirms control panel

Is there anything else i need to do?

Fatcow / AnHosting / Host Excellence / Netfirms / A Small Orange?

Apr 5, 2009

I have short-listed the hosting services I initially liked down to the following:

1. FatCow
2. An Hosting
3. Host Excellence
4. Netfirms
5. StableHost
6. A Small Orange

Which of them would be most suitable for me. I am about to start a small online business: two websites and a couple of blogs.

I am after proven reliability, 24/7 support, no down time and many resources (which most do anyway).
