Poor Up/down Speeds (KeyWeb - Dedicated Box)
May 10, 2009
I have been lurker for long time already but now decided to ask this question I have been wondering about past few months.
I rent an dedicated server from KeyWeb, with dedicated 100mbps link. The server itself isn't that good & fast, but it's just perfect for my gaming server (E4500, 2GB DDR-2 ram and 2 x 320GB sata 2 drives)
Now to the problem. Always when I download some big files with this server from ftp or html server, and if I only open one connection, speed is very poor... Like 1MB/s or so, but if I use some download manager or torrent client which opens more than just one connection, +10 or so... Then the speed is very good, sometimes it goes up to 15MB/s. The server is actually connected to 1gbps switch but I think the port is limited to 100mbps.
At speedtest (dot) net, I get results like 17mbps down and 8mbps down.
So... Is that normal or is there something wrong? I've not contacted them yet, but if this isn't normal. I will Ofcourse I'll try to solve this on my own.
and before someone asks if this ftp I'm downloading from is not fast enough... I can tell you, it's. I downloaded one big file from it at school and at max speed was about 9MB/s

I ordered yesterday, and got it today! But I have the box, 100 MB unmetered line, I downloaded utorrent, donloaded a file at 10 MB/per sec, but For some reason the box wont seed, and the tiny little yellow banner on the bottom says there are no incoming connections (this is usually green if your port is open) It wont seed... the DL is great, is there a box setting that is blocking this? there is no installed firewall, and the ports are all open....

I have been working with Xen over the last week or so and I can't figure out why the performance is downgraded so much when booting into Xen. There are certain things that seem just as fast but other things just don't seem normal.
I have tried this on two different quad-core systems, one new generation (York) with CentOS5 and one old (Kent) with Debian Lenny but neither seem to produce good speeds.
For example, when I use the default kernels I can usually get about ~600 score out of unixbench-wht and things such as top and core systems show up as 0% cpu when running top.
When I boot into Xen kernel however, whether it been from Dom0 or the guest OS, top uses about 3% CPU and unixbench-wht produces scores under 250.
I have set vcpus to 4 and have even tried vcpu-pin 0 0, 1 1, 2 2, 3 3 but nothing seems to be changing anything. The disk speeds seem about the same (hdparm). I'm assuming it is something with the CPU,

I signed up for a VPS at UltraVPS using their promotional coupon and special offer posted on WHT.
First- it took them 7 hours to activate my account, after bugging them.
Second- it takes them nearly 7 hours to respond to a support ticket.
Third- I am unable to login into the VPS control panel nor the FTP using the login information they have provided. I am not a newbie in hosting, I have several different VPS accounts.
It seems like this is a one-man operation.....

I met these guys through this website and they promised me exactly what I was looking for... a fast, responsive web host with PHP5, MySQL and 5GB - 10GB of storage. I was previously with HostDepartment and they obviously oversell... my site load times were counted in minutes. Anyways, things started great for the first two weeks... the site was always up and clients were amazed at the speed and performance of the site. I considered bringing over 7 other "business" websites because the performance was so great.
Then about 3 weeks ago... the site went offline. It's the internet, stuff happens...
DDoS attacks, DNS conflicts, Server Upgrades, someone trips on the power cord, whatever. I file a ticket and the site is back up in about an hour or two. So, i forget about it. Few days later, its down again... for a LONG period of time... multiple hours.
I file another ticket and I'm told they are in the process of mitigating a DDoS attack.
The outage then starts showing a pattern.. my site will be up late in the evening and early in the morning... but from 11amCST to about 11pmCST.. its unavailable. After another day, I contact them and they say they are still being assaulted by DDoS but they have put measures in place to correct it... that was at the end of May. My site has been down for 2 days straight.. since around 11am CST on June 1st. I came online briefly during the morning of June 2nd... but went back offline around 11am on the second and has never returned. The previously quick responses to my tickets have been non-existant now... I have yet to hear a response to my ticket from June 1st.. I did add a note to it once a day at 11am for the purpose of tracking that the site was still down. I understand that may move it to the end of the queue... but it has been updated once a day, so there was plenty of time between updates to see it.
I highly advise to avoid these guys... I wasn't going to write this until I could access to my site again for fear of losing my database info... but at this point, it seems like my sites are already lost.

I had read a lot of good things on these forums about ASmallOrange. So I finally decided to sign up with them for my friend's website which I manage & design.
Unfortunately my experience was anything but good. The issue was that I am based in India & I design my friend's website who is based in the US. Since my friend is a non tech savvy person he gave me his credit card number and asked me to manage everything from signing up for a new web host to designing the site.
Since ASmallOrange's billing department found that the address is registered based in USA but the IP address of the person signing up was not from USA, they marked the account as fraud.
I must say that I very well appreciate this system of fraud detection followed by them & am very much impressed by it. What I was not impressed with was the fact that they didn't bother to inform me about the same nor did they try to verify the authenticity of the account. Unaware of this, me & my friend kept waiting for more than 24 hours for my account to get activated. It was only when I raised a support ticket that they informed me that my account has been marked as fraud.
Subsequent to this I informed them about the circumstances under which this account was signed up & asked them to carry out whatever verifications they need to do with the end client or through the credit card company.
To my surprise again there was no reply from their end & this morning I find that my support thread was closed without reverting on the issue.
I guess its time for me to move on and host somewhere else. My own websites are hosted with Dotable and am very happy with them.

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.

I would like to start off by saying M8 has always maintained an excellent uptime, HOWEVER, support has been a nightmare to work with and responses take forever. What prompted me to send this was our sites have been down for over 3 hours so far and you cannot contact anyone by phone and when you email there is no response.
After realizing that a response was going to take a while we decided to try a few things on our own and It appears as though we have been blocked by their firewall or something because we can access the sites via a anonymous proxy. We are still waiting for this issue to be fixed.
Why were we blocked ? Read on
We asked them about a week ago to update our instance of Sugar CRM and we told them that shortly we will be moving another domain to them and when we do this we will want to move our version of sugar.
They did the upgrade (again, response time was horrible), when it was done we went to our URL and found that it had never been updated. I asked them about this and I found out that they moved it to a new service and that the url we were using would not work with all the scripts I had running.
I accepted that and said fine, no problem, we will get our new domain over there and everything will be good. The only problem I had with this is now we are forced to move this stuff right away because our request was not done the way it should have been. Please note, we paid them $100 to update our Sugar version which is no problem…
I started to get ready to move our data and could not connect via FTP, I entered a ticket and a LONG wait later I get the reply, to login to your control panel do this. Needless to say that is NOT what I needed. I needed to know how to login via ftp because all attempts would not work. Keep in mind, that we also upgraded our plan with them.
Anyway, it appears that because we tried to FTP in so many times we have been blocked, however, this would not have been the case if they had answered our support question in a reasonable amount of time… My one contact there when you send him emails comes back with
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at m8solutions.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<REMOVED FOR PRIVACY>
user is over quota
--- Enclosed are the original headers of the message.
Can anyone please help with hsphere and how to FTP because apparently they are not going to help and now my entire office is unable to do any work because we cannot access our stuff…
Please note, I am a very patient person, but when it takes days to get an answer to a simple question and we are spending more money with them I lose my patience. I do not like to bash any company because we all have our problems, but this is crazy…
We let them know that we were going to do a post on WHT and still no response back. I feel horrible about posting this and will update you once this has been resolved..

About a month ago I transferred a live site from a host to siteground as they supported all the functions I needed. I could have transferred the site myself, but to help convince to move to siteground promised me a free no downtime guaranteed transfer (which apparently is company policy) So I let them do it. There was downtime during the transfer but not a big deal I was ok with that But then a few days later my site went down big time. Someone called me to tell me it was down and I didn't have access to a computer so I called siteground. The operator (besides having trouble understanding english) wouldn't even report that my site was down to support!! Finally I get back to the computer and report it myself. Their 15 min or less turned out to be about 45 Then when I ask if I am going to be compensated for the extreme amount of downtime like the promise but I get turned down at every turn the excuse being technically it was downtime because it loaded a blank page STILL downtime in my book since it was siteground's fault I hadn't touched it. To add injury upon insult my site that ran perfectly smooth before has numerous problems. Every time I submitted a ticket they either tried to make it sound like it was my fault (again I hadn't touched it) or gave me the "normally this is a paid service but we made an exception for you" line as if I would need the service if they hadn't messed up the transfer. My overall experience with their service left me disgusted. Not to mention when I cancelled the "guaranteed money back" withholds nearly 4 months worth of the year I paid in advance. I have since transferred the SAME site MYSELF to atechosting and now have had it running for a few days there and had no downtime during transfer or a single problem since.
I will say performance wise they were fine even though their was some 169 on my server.

I have two netscreen 25 firewalls linked together via an ethernet cable.
If I connect the ethernet cable to switches I get around 90Mbps. However, if I connect the firewalls together I barely get more than 30Mbps (25Mbps average using iperf). All rules are set to talk to each other and the setup works, but I don't understand where the speed has gone.
The firewall ports and firewall performance per port is rated at 100Mbps and there is little traffic on the other network ports. I have both interfaces set to auto neg duplex as if set to 100 full I get even worse performance.

I finally ditched Site5 at a host. So _anything_ should be better, right?
After only a week or so with ServInt I'm wondering if I made the wrong decision.
Now I thought a few hours resolution time with Site5 was frusterating, try waiting 6 hours, or 18 (my current ticket, still not resolved, with no reply after asking for an update several hours ago).
And having a tech answer the phone doesn't help much either if they don't have a clue how to troubleshoot.
First the tech insists that MX records need to be pointed to my host for OUTGOING smtp to work!
Then after sending him the necessary log files twice, he still insists I'm not giving him enough information to fix the problem and that MX records must be setup. When I call and ask if he read the log file snippets I had sent him, "no" was the answer! AAAAAARGH!
And then being told many times, that the problems been fixed. And then finding out it's not and that they never even TESTED IT before saying so!
Is it time to pack up and leave before I migrate all my customers there?

Today we have been very badly handled by iweb night support team.
The server went down and still down,
They did not answered phone and also did not update us for problem status. They kept saying the admin is working on the issue.
They asked root password and who knows what they are doing with it.
We are moving our accounts from their data center as we speak.
They employ irresponsible and incapable people and not trusted any longer.
Netelligent.ca is highly recommended for the ones looking for canadian dedicated server at the moment

I have read on this forums and google CSF seem to be the best firewall out there, so i installed it configure and run it. After the installation i found that i received a lot time out error on web service. Page take a lot longer to load. I think it's my configuration.
Can someone take a look at my configuration if possible please share your configuration. I really like to have CSF run without poor performance on web service.

I have had major problems with connecting to my shared hosting space from my home. Sometimes I can only view one page before it times out and other times I can not view any pages.
I have tried tracert, which seemed fine and there is no problem accessing the IP from any other location, only my house.
Has anyone got any ideas of what I could do? If I can not figure it out I am either going to have to get another ISP or move all my web sites.

I don't have a problem with Bluehost, but after getting this email tonight I would have thought that it's not that hard to have enough fuel and a big enough generator to last more than five minutes after a power outage. It seems like pretty poor redundancy planning if a major host can't last more then five minutes with no power. Hospitals and other places don't have any problem doing it with similar or bigger power demands.
Dear Bluehost Customer,
This evening (July 14th) from about 5:25pm-6:55pm many of our servers
were offline causing significant downtime for many of our users. The
outage was due to a severe power outage in the north end of Orem, Utah
where our servers are located. We do have UPS backup as well as diesel
generators, but at about 5:30 they finally gave out. The power outage
was for much longer than that period of time, but the reserve power
was eventually consumed in its entirety. When it rains it pours.
For users on box65-box145 there have been periodic problems with the
Redhat linux kernel that we were using that was causing problems with
the filesystem that your data is stored on. This issue has been causing
periodic problems for users on those boxes. In the last few days we have
resolved that issue which also caused those boxes to require a reboot.
The downtime is extremely regretable. We apologize profusely for the
inconvenience to our customers and in turn to those who were trying to visit
your sites during the outage. With the fixes we have put in place in the
last few days coupled with other upgrades you should experience MUCH
better uptime in the future.
Thanks for you patience,
Matt Heaton / President Bluehost.com

Why has Ipower turned into a such a poor hosting service? I have been with them for years and now they are leaving me little choice, but to find a new provider. For years they were able to provide me with a smooth service. Over the last year I have experienced tons of down time, long wait time for customer service, and recently downed email service for way toooo long.

It all installs fine however Disk Performance is extremely poor:

Im currently running a streaming media (video) site on a p4 3.0 GHz with 2 gigs of ram. I think its a 10mpbs unmetered port. It streams extremly slow, to the point where it lags every second. It does this even though their is only 6 people on, with loads of 200 it just freezes up. What configuration would be able to hold traffic of 200 people constantly. I was on a faster server with hostgator, their dedicated pro but i went through the bandwidth in 5 days.

Just wondering really, if you have a 1U cooler like an Akasa AK-CC029-5 or Dynatron P199, do these generally run full speed 24x7 or should they be bios controlled?
I've never had any cooling issues or reliability issues with either of these coolers, but they don't seem to want to be controlled through the bios on all of the boards I have used, so they run full whack 24x7

For those of you that complain about the slow loading speed of your sites due to being on over-loaded servers or over-sold bandwidth, why do you think that the discounted rate is worth the loss of customers that you might earn if your site loaded faster.
Have you ever given your sites a try on a quality host where your site loaded faster? You might be surprised at how much more effective your marketing was when surfers stay around long enough to see your site load.
Some times in the effort to secure such a great deal and save a penny, you wind up loosing a dollar, it might not make a difference to all of you but some will be surprised at the ROI for a bit better hosting!

how to tune linux (currently running fedora4) server to improve download speeds for the client. I have observed that if i download from sun it is very fast compared my own server which is hosted on cogent backbone or any other.
Please take into account that both mine and other server both are at relatively same number of hops and ping time. and my server and the carrier has enough bandwidth to fill whole 100mbps, even the client is a server which is on a different backbone which can fill whole 100mbps, also guys i was able to fill whole 100mbps while downloading from sun. but when i download test file from my server it is lagging at 3mbps around. only single thread using wget command. Now what is it i need to do to get my server able to push full pipe even for single thread, ping time is 25ms. if not full at least half. let me know if you have some workaround, and server is apache no load.

I'll second what is said about Lunarpages. They are an absmal McHost whose priority is to lure in as many customers as possible without bothering about the quality of their service. I challenge anybody to ring their telephone support line and see if somebody picks it up. I have tried to call ten times in the last six months and never been able to get through once, despite hanging on for ages.
Just today my entire website was down because Lunarpages moved it to a new server (without asking me) and screwed up. The website, Azam.biz has over 17,000 references to it in Google and is critical to my business. I sat drowing in sweat for hours. I couldn't get hold of anybody at Lunarpages by telephone or live chat and the one support response I received ws addressing an unrelated issue.
Worse thing of the lot is Lunarpages censors criticism them on their forums more so than any webhost I have ever know. Every time I post a comment about downtime or not being able to get hold of anybody on the telephone, they delete the post saying it is "incorrect". I have never met a company with such a Stalinesque censorship policy.
I have feared posting anything negative about Lunarpages on other forums because I've been worried about them closing down my account. But, after having suffered so much stress because of them today, I don't care any more.
I am going to back up by entire site now, because I'm worried they will close down my account after reading this. They are not the type of company to take on board criticism and use it to improve their offerings; their obsession is to stifle any criticism.
I am now suffering pain in my heart for the first time in my life because of how badly Lunarpages have treated me today. Their arrogance shows no bounds - they are smug, full of hype and don't give a damn about ruining customers' businesses.

i am changing my hosts from hostgator to the JustHost or ImHosted.
I am trying to buy shared hosting plan. I DO NOT want a video sharing website. My website will serve around 100-150 videos of each 5 mints duration.
I am confused about speed of these hosts.
My questions are
1. How can i check the speed of these hosts (JustHost) & (ImHosted). (Any sample file download will do)
2. How can i know which of these host has the fastest data transfer rate to my country. (PAKISTAN)
3. ImHosted says it has OC-192, JustHost says it has OC-96. But how to confirm it?
I am inclined towards JustHost as they are way cheaper than ImHosted. But i am also concerned about speed. Will a OC-96 connection(JustHost) will serve a 5mint video well.?

I'm currently using ipower, which just switched to fewer but larger servers. The impact for me is a new throttle in download speed, which is about 350KB/sec (although I can do FTP downloads when logged in at 500KB/sec. Previously, with the more but smaller servers, you just got a share of what was available on the server with no throttle, and when activity was low on a server, it was enough to max out my cable's limitation of about 1.5MB/sec (12 mega-bits / second).
It seems that few web hosting sites will specify typical download speeds from a web hosting account. I'm hoping that members here could report what they are getting from various web hosting services.
My web site is
jeffareid.net
A "hobby" web site, mostly videos from car racing games, just niche market enough to not attract excessive traffic.

I just found that my VPS uses ADSL - which makes no sense since the download speed into vps isn't important, it is the upload speed. BTW, it has 100mbps port - so the port is fine, it is the network.
1. What upload speeds are available for VPS's (in mid price range)?
2. What is a reliable way to test upload speed?

Can someone who has a server with ecatel check what their download speeds are from USA?
I'm getting < 30kb/s and the port is at 20mb/s... so there should be much more speed.

I have made a small site and i plan to host it with a shared hosting plan.
Since transfer speeds are important to my site, I want to know what are the average data transfer speeds for shared hosting plans?

I serve mp3 dj mixes for some friends and am coming up on the end of my current hosting contract here in the next couple of months. They have been a fantastic host the only reason I am working on looking elsewhere is cost-related.
I got a unbelievable deal when I signed up last year and it would run me almost $300 to renew for another year, which is out of my price range.
Aside from great uptime (99.97% over 10 months), the thing I really like about the current host is their download speed. I have a 1mb cable connection at home and consistently download files at 850ish/kbps. Everyone I have spoken with has experienced similar speeds. This is much faster than any host I have ever used and is twice as fast as another host I use.
So, what I am looking for is a host that offers something similar in that regard that's around $10/month and optimally has coupons/deals floating around.
I would be happy getting 650kbps/sec, obviously the faster the better. Uptime is always a consideration, however this is more of a hobby and I am not expecting the same uptime that I get currently.
I am not against using a dreaded 'overseller' for this venture, I just need something that pushes large files fast.
I have plenty of time to find a new host, but would like to start getting a short list put together so I can request test files and whatnot.
