I've been looking everywhere for a half decent, affordable, windows web hosting company. Everyone has CPanel/Linux, and I'm looking for Plesk + Windows. I'm gonna be buying a dedi soon that will run on windows, but I want some shared hosting too.
If you could refer me to some decent hosts, that would be great (and I hate oversellers)
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 need to ask, what's best company of Secuity and Safe servers.
So I hope any one can answer my seeking.
Me and a friend want to buy a really cheap server. We're kind of tired of buying hosting of people, VPS, dedi even if the price is really cheap.
For once we'd just like a little server ourself. We are located in the UK.
We're hoping to spend max £110. So far we ain't been able to get a good deal for that much.
(tried ebay)
To make a pc - it would cost us more than that pricewise. To buy an old one and do few upgrades.. it would still cost us a bomb.
Do you know where I can purchase cheap pre-built webservers direct? I can't seem to find any websites. There mostly £200+
Also I'm hoping to run windows platform (mainly due to near null experiance with Linux), what simple software can I install to get:
FTP
Webpages//PHP
DNS
running? (other than apache which still look's complex).
My main problem is where to buy a cheap server.
Are there any FutureHosting customers out there (Dallas Datacenter) who wouldn't mind PM'ing me their domains to test SMTP response time tomorrow? I have a server with them that is showing intermittent SMTP timeouts and response time spikes close to 20 seconds and I am trying to figure out if it is something on my node or the network.
I don't need anything special other than a domain name -- I won't be pushing email through the server just need to know how quickly the SMTP service provides a welcome message and responds to a HELO command. I will share any reports I produce with you.
The spikes are just occuring during business hours and support is having difficult tracking down the issue.
I am a staff member at Markee Dragon (www.markeedragon.com), a large gaming targeted forum. We have a slight dilemma. We are looking for ways to stop as many proxies as possible from entering the website. We don't want the hassle of single IP banning and are looking for something somewhat automated. From my experience there is not much you can do with proxies but hopefully I am wrong and someone knows a solution to this.
The reason we are trying to have proxies blocked is because of the nature of the website.
We are a trading site and scamming has given Markee Dragon somewhat of a bad name and we are trying to combat against that. Most of the scammers who are banned just evade the bans through proxies.
I'm hosting wmv,wma,mp3 files, streaming of video can be done with Windows hosting, but my website script is with php.
Do you suggest Windows Server 2008 hosting or redhat linux hosting?
I have a problem with Parallels Plesk v12.0
Hosting type on website became "No web hosting."
When I try to change hosting type to "Forwarding" it changes ok.
If I change hosting type to "Website hosting", I get message "The hosting type for "website name" was successfully changed.", but hosting plan still stay "No web hosting"....

View 14 Replies View RelatedI would like to compare what windows shared hosting is currently available to what I'm currently using as I'm getting charges for high bandwidth (20 gigs) for 40 websites which is not really high these days and I have to pay $1 every extra gig & its rising.
I don't want a VPS as I have tried them in the past and it is too much effort to set them up although I will use one in the future when I have the time to set one up properly. ALso with the ones I tried the memory couldn't cope and if I needed to get reasonable performance I would have had to pay a lot of $$$
My requirements are (all to be included in monthly price):
# must be unlimited or at least 50 domains can be hosted
# Offer Helm
# 50 gigs Bandwidth or more
# Clean host (no SEO banning or problems)
# Hosting Company Must not be a reseller - I want the real deal, proven & experienced host that has been around for at least 2 years. I will be doing a lot of research so please don't bother plugging your reseller business.
# I want at least 5 dedicated IP's with package
# Must offer AWStats with each domain
# Price: currently paying around $30 per month so something similar would be good
I am providing linux hosting for a while now, but want to expand my services to windows hosting as well.
I am looking to get a dedicated server, but could use some help in deciding what to chose.
What would be better for windows 2003 hosting? It would normally be used for asp.net pages, and people can use ms sql (but the free msde edition). There will also be mysql on the server.
What would be better, more ram or more cpu?
config 1: less cpu, more ram
Xeon QUAD-CORE Clovertown E5130 (4 times 1,6 Ghz)
8 GB ECC DDR2 ram
config 2: more cpu, less ram
Dual QuadCore 5310 8 times 1.6GHz Cores
4GB ECC DDR2 Ram
Also, I am looking at offering ajax for asp.net. Does this take a lot of resources on the server?
And what about running apps in isolated application pools for every user. Does this take a lot of server resources?
some reliable hosts at nominal rates? I'm looking for maximum uptime and web space for my ecommerce based websites.
Requirements are:
At least 2 GB web space
There are 5 domains to be hosted on one server (there will be more in future)
Websites are developed in ASP
MS Access databases (separate db for each website)
Domain Alias
I am planning to move my hosting from SHARED to either VPS / Dedicated / Cloud Hosting(MOSSO) .
I am quite confused because:
1. I tried lunarpages VPS, they dont offer multiple MSSQL DB. THey offer only 1 and LIMITED to 1 GB.
2. Dedicated from lunarpages also has some limitations.
3. I heard something called as "cloud hosting" from mosso - Cloud sites, Cloud Files, Cloud servers.. I really dont understand what it means..
Can you please help?
I NEED:
1. Windows hosting - ASP, unlimited MSSQL DB and atleast 10GB space. The site will have atleast 100K visitors / month.
I am planning to place an order with hostnexus for a windows hosting. I saw them first on whreviews and got impressed by their professional site and quick response to my queries via email.
But can any existing or past customers share their opinions about their uptime, suppor or any other issues? Is it comparable to hostgator for linux?
Need the following specs from an established Managed Windows VPS provider with Ticket and Phone Support.

Has anyone tried one of Dotster's Windows plans as I can't find any reviews using the search? Their plans seems to offer a lot for a low price.
View 7 Replies View Relateda speaker at a meet-up stated that the only reason Linux is a more popular server platform is that kids starting hosting companies do not need to pay for the license...
whereas college educated techies prefer the windows platform for their servers..
So I thought I would get some opinions from the pro's... which is the overall best server platform
Windows... or Linux

Anything around $15/20 would do.
Please recommend Plesk Windows Hosting companies.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWebresellers has taken a bashing on wht but I don't see anything recent so I thought I would share my experience and see if anyone else has input on this company.
I signed up for a windows hosting account a couple of months ago and have been very happy with their service. Support has been fast and competent, no canned responses or 'what problem?' replies. Uptime has been good so far. They offer quite a decent package for cheap windows hosting.
The only negatives might be windows hosting issues more than hosting service issues.
1. Spam filtering is terrible.
2. They offer MSSQL and have an online interface. I forget who developed it but it's nothing like myphpadmin. Quite crippled actually but it will let you create tables. Again probably not the hosting company's fault. Even Microsoft's remote sql server tool has limited functionality.
3. FTP uploads are throttled but it's not a show stopper.
IMHO definately a contender for windows hosting. I've slowly converting my asp sites to php but until I get that done the sites seem to be safe at webresellers.net.
do you maybe know .. is someone offering hosting on windows 2008 platform ? and what's the price per year.
