servint.net < They've been around sing 95 and appear to have a rock solid reputation.
knownhost.com < A newer company, their uptime appears to be fantastic.
futurehosting.com < Have heard these guys are pretty good. The Seattle Data center is closest to my location.
I've been trying to make up my mind for sometime now. I'm simply stuck between these three companies. I've read the reviews for all these companies and they all seem very solid. I don't know what else to say I'm just plain stuck right now.
Could anyone who's been with any of these companies chime in?
I was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!
I am running Apache2.2, PHP5.I have been running with virtual hosts on a Windows 7 environment fine for a couple of years successfully, but have just had to move to a Windows 8 environment.It looks like Apache and PHP have installed and are working fine, but my Virtual hosts are now not being recognised. From what I can tell, it is the Windows 8 hosts file that is having a problem, as it looks as though it is now just setup to Block websites.
If I make the host file just have the one line127.0.0.1 localhost entry, then the very first Virtual Host from my apache config file will come up, but the rest are not found.If I put the usual 127.0.0.1 mywebsite.name aliasname is appears as though my website works momentarily and then is blocked..
1. register for the godaddy ssl certificate 2. goto my cpanel and generate a cert code that I had to paste to godaddy. 3. get an email from them for approval 4. Have them send me an email with 2 CRT files in them.....
my host recently moved me over to hspcomplete billing. during this there must have been some change to teh configuration of my server, which has made it a little unhappy.
what happens is that processes get "stuck" and after some time start using up 20-30% cpu, and bring the server loads incredibly high.
my host is having issues trying to figure out whats wrong... was hopign someone here could help.
examples, as of right now (before the load goes insanely high):
thats right NOW. if i check again in an hour or so, those httpd's will have been running for the full 1.5 hours, and start using 30% cpu, and my load will be sky high.
Recently I stumbled along a host on here with a good rep and that uses direct admin.
Because they were very nice on the live support I signed up to see what direct admin was like.
Its very diferent from cpanel. Some parts seem to be harder to use like the phpmyadmin requires the username and password to the database you created not the control panel username and password like cpanel. Although I guess that could be a good security feature just in case some one gets into the control panel they can not get into the phpmyadmin, then again if they are smart and were able to get into the control panel they could get into ftp and look what the username and password is on the config file for the script you are using.
The bandwidth meter seems to be better in direct admin although I think its acting up for me as its putting yesterdays bandwidth on todays. I was told by the host that it updates every 2 hours and at first it did but now its gone to every day. Oh and unlike cpanel this bandwidth meter includes bandwith used by the control panel.
Niether one from what I can tell counts sftp though at least for the hosts I have right now.
i've noticed a number of times in the past few weeks where the spamd process gets stuck (apache 2 server / whm) with a single user name running the process. there is no spam being sent out, no major incoming influx of mail either - the process is just stuck but consumes 100% of cpu and runs for ages before it terminates itself.
My backups aren't working for days now. I have noticed that on current backup status there is one backup stuck at 100% for several days now and it is preventing new scheduled backups from working.
there is no way to delete that backup, so how can I fix this, without rebooting the whole server?
my Exim mail outgoing queue is getting stuck and i cannot receive emails. Under WHM i have 50 odd emails, some 7 days old.
A small dump from /var/log/exim-mainlog is below:

Everything was fine until about 7 days ago, i dont know why the config didnt change but since then its been dropping received emails and queueing on sends.
Transferred plesk server to another.. Now customer domain is stuck on suspended and does not want to unsuspend even after I entered the command and enabled active on plesk../usr/local/psa/bin/domain -u example.com -status enabled
I can receive email from all accounts and all domains.
The problem is that when sending an email to an external email (gmail., hotmail, outlook.com .... etc) this is sent to mail queue and do not leave that place.
