I'm finding a new host for my sites. I've searched the forums for hours but there were too many results, both positive and negative that I couldn't make decision . So, I want to ask you, who have been with WHT for long time and read the forum often about some good hosts you have experienced.
Details:
Hosting type: shared hosting (with option to upgrade to VPS)
Disk space: 30GB
Bandwidth: min 100GB
Host provider experience: >= 2 years
Budget: <= $12/ month
Could you please recommend some good hosts here?
If you are not so sure, I'll be very grateful if you give me a short list so that I can search for reviews one more time.
Thanks !
Note:
Does anyone have any recommendations for a GOOD shared/reseller host? Geekstorage has had good reviews here, but I've been sorely disappointed in the frequent downtime I've had on two separate servers. Looking to move elsewhere soon if I can find someone else. So -
Price isn't really an issue. I need at least 20GB of storage. Bandwidth also not an issue.
IIS 7 ASP.NET 3.5 MSSQL () (no more than 5 dbs needed) MYSQL (no more than 5 dbs needed) Diskspace 5GB - 100GB Bandwidth 100GB - 2000GB Some sort of E-mail Component
I am currently having some problems with my Off-Shore Host, too many downtimes and MySQL errors so I am looking for a new OffShore Web Host. I need a web host that can host: MovieGalaxy.org and it must be offshore. Anybody here has any experiences with a good Off Shore Host?
if somebody could recommend a good backup host. I already know BQBackup is solid, but I'd like some other recommendations as well (another host, not a reselller of BQ).
Can anyone recommend a cheap reliable Windows VPS host? My sites (shared) are hosted on Fluid Hosting , I am very happy with their service but their Win VPS prices are too high for me, I just want to use VPS for testing my applications.
I found cheapvps.co.uk searching on WHT, but their support seems to be patchy?
I'm looking for a managed server (mid range specs) and approximately 20TB monthly bandwidth.
I'm looking for reasonably priced hosts, that have a reputation "very similiar" to Rackspace.com. I don't want to quite pay what Rackspace's pricing looks like. So, I'm looking for something slightly cheaper than Rackspcae, but that have a VERY good record for promptness in addressing issues and with proven uptime records.
So far I am considering Verio & The Planet. My knowledge of hosts beyond that is very limited. Please point me in the right direction as to where I can find hosts with SOLID records like Rackspace.com, but are slightly less expensive.
I already started a thread, and got suggestions about a host to choose. I selected HostGator, but when i read the TOS of HostGator, they do not openly allow image sharing and do not allow you to keep more than 50,000 files on their server.
So, which host do you recommend me. Please consider:
1. Low cost,
2. Reliability,
3. High shared disk and bandwidth
4. Allow image sharing. (I am not going to share adult images).
Couple days ago all of a sudden my host that I've been with for years all of a sudden went down the drain. Why? Supposedly, my site was used for spam? Stupid. They are "trying" to compile my database and files, but I DOUBT that will happen.
With an already 24 hour downtime. I am receiving a lot of emails and phone calls on site. I need my community to get back up asap! So I guess it's time to find a new host.
I need a RECOMMENDATION on a westcoast host that will provide me with great customer service and the requirements I need to run my community.
Must handle vBulletin real well, have the requirements I need, and have great customer service.
This is a local forum, which is why I would like to be on a Westcoast Host.
I have a moderately successful site, which makes enough money to cover my current hosting costs of 7 per month. I know, millionaire row it ain't, but it's popular. But my database is getting big and my current host wont allow the user of EXECUTE and SUPER privileges which I need to run triggers and stored procedures to keep the page load times sensible.
So, I need another UK host with:
- 2Gb of space (the site serves up big PDF documents)
- 70Gb of bandwidth (I said they were big)
- mysql privs available as above
Customer service with my current host, uk web solutions, is great (apart from refusal to countenance the privileges) so I need my new host to be as good. Budget? well, you can see what I'm paying now, and I have a psychological £10/month barrier which I don't want to cross.
I have used Hawkhost in the past for a forum (pre-Litespeed change over) I was running and was very pleased. My boss needed a host for her site and HH was one of the first that came to mind. After a quick browse here, it seemed like a no brainer.
I'm happy to say that Hawkhost is still a great host for me and in some aspects, even better than before.
The thing that has really impressed me is the server and network speed. Both of the sites I have with them are purely static content and are noticeably faster than any other host I have used. Proof, to me anyway, that Litespeed really does make a difference. Uptime has been great as well - I'm sitting at 100% since August 26th.
Support is helpful, I have only needed them once for help with a weird directory issue.
I submitted the ticket as medium priority at 10:30 am, first response was at 11:14 and the issue was resolved at 12:08. Not as fast as some other hosts but still adequate by my standards. I wish they would have told me what the issue was, I have never run in to the problem before in 9 years of paid web hosting, but whatever. It got fixed and I guess that is all that matters.
I am signed up with HH for a year (for something like 22 dollars) so I will continue to update this thread as time goes by.
For verification purposes, the domains hosted with them are here and here.
i am hosted at www.indwebhost.com since 2months. I got to say that they are a nice decent hosting with cheap price. I am currently on a $7USD/year hosting.
I have 1GB space and 10GB bandwidth. and in 2months i had no downtime or slow loading. never seen there server load go above 1.00, the max i have seen is 0.47
i suggest if you have a low hosting budget and less disk space and bandwidth. you should go for their $12/year for 5GB diskspace and 25GB Bandwidth.
You can also pay $1.25/month for 1GB diskspace and 10GB Bandwidth. But you can find that for free also.
Edit: to much confusion so let me explain.
indwebhost.com is another newly domain created by resellerways.com
reselleyways.com were hacked and they lost all the databases. so they temporary created Indwebhost.com
so my account was moved to indwebhost.com servers. And now if you go to resellerways.com you can check the announcments about their lost of database.
Over 4 months ago I found myself looking for a new webhost, and through the help of this forum decided on downtownhost. I gave rave reviews based on initial contact, the ease of transfer, and of getting quick help from customer service. I was asked to post another review after a few months, so here it is.
I continue to have nothing but good to say about downtownhost. They have a thorough and easy to navigate self-help system. Their customer service is quick and freindly and managing your site is quick and easy. I've only had experience with 4 hosts now, but I can without hesitation say that downtownhost is "head and shoulders" above the others I've dealt with.
I currently have a server setup with about 10 domains, serving around 4million pages a month to around 110,000 unique visitors.
1 of those domains serves around 99% of the traffic, so I want to move the other domains onto their own server.
I'm looking for a hosting package that offers cpanel/whn interface and the ability to add new hosts. I had a quote from ThePlanet for a very reasonable $89 a month, for a Celeron 2.0 with 512MB RAM.
Which shared host you have come across, can handle 1 Million page views per month?
Assuming -
Impression happens across the clock in same pattern. Maximum pages (60%) are static html, rest php+mysql+drupal All pageviews consume max of 20 GB Cost under $20/month Close to 100% uptime (As we all know 100% is not possible)
I know these name only (not sure they agree all above mentioned conditions or not) -
medialayer steadfast unitedhosting pair - I read some -ve reviews for pair, that they suspend the account without notice
I'm currently with webfaction (which awesome) for some of my Django installs, but it's a pain for static installations (especially when clients need their own ftp accounts). So, I'm looking for a cpanel host for clients with simple PHP sites (FrogCMS and Wordpress) and static sites. I use an amazon S3 bucket for most of clients images...
I need about 25-50 SQL databases, 5-15 gigs in bandwidth, and 5-10 gigs in storage.
Many of clients are non-profits and have environmental concerns so I need a host that is "green tagged" (purchases energy from renewable resources) and uses offsets (and has a page detailing this).
I'd also like somewhere with a data-center on the east coast (I'm in Montreal)
My website suspended by a hosting service provider they told me that I try to send some spamming emails, the details about my website it's very small with 282 users (before suspended) I used phpBB version 2 and send news to users with phpBB send mail function. Frequency of sending is not more than 2 times a month and not every month.
I've already contacted the hosting provider they didn't help anything just say "Hold on" for 1 day a ago.
I've signed up with Wiredtree for a Managed VPS 12 days ago.
I know it's not enough time to write a review. But I decided to write my first impression then keep you updated by writing a new review at the end of each month, so expect one at 12 February.
For now, these guys are simply the best I've tried.
They reply you in 15 minutes or less and if it took them more, 20 minutes or something, then be sure that they're investigating your problem. If you can't wait for 15 minutes, then go ahead and give them a call on their toll-free number and they'll be with you second by second. Their support wont just solve your problem, but they'll educate you telling you what caused the problem and how did they fix it.
I'm solicitous about security. But with these guys, I finally sleep peacefully knowing that my VPS is well secured.
I will have a firewall/router on my end and vpn into the UK. I am not tech savvy and was told this was the setup I needed by who I thought i was going to be using.
I need a firewall which could do the following:- - Run in transparent mode - With bandwidth control and reporting based on IP - Intrusion detection and prevention - Open source
I am trying Clark Connect but I could not make it to run on transparent mode, else this product is good enough for me.
I am currently on shared hosting (i will not mention who with) however since I have been with them my site has been down about 4 times. The good thing is my site hadnt launched it was just a placeholder page so nothing critical.
Due to the above issues, I think i might want to get a VPS, it is essential there is no downtime, its a new site and I dont want our reputation to suffer due to downtime.
