Super Green Hosting ...

May 7, 2009

I registered with www DOT supergreenhosting DOT com

The website I am hosting is for a business we just started, that is an Organic Orchard and we will ship produce to people. I chose Super Green for various reasons:

Good, cheap hosting plan.

Good reviews, from what I found online.

"Green" (although not really too green, but it would help our business image to claim we're hosted on "Green servers")
Free domain name.

So, I thought to myself, "Ok, this is who I want to go with"

I wanted to use the 36 month plan, which is $3.95 a month.

First off, I decided to test their customer service, so I began a live chat with a representative. There will always be, "1 person ahead of you, a representative will be with you shortly" bot auto response. Then, an autoresponse saying something like, "Hello, bla bla bla, how can I help you?" (Then normally a real person will say something after that)

My first question was how the billing worked. If I chose the $3.95 a month plan, will the first initial payment be just that? Just $3.95, and will I be charged $3.95 a month for every month after that for 36 months?

I was told, "Yes", that was how it worked.

So I go to register, I fill out the information, put in the card info and hit "Continue".

I was charged $142.20 or something, the entire amount! Not what I was told just moments before. I go back to live chat, and of course it is someone new now. I explain to them that the person before had given me mis information about the billing, and he just said, "You have to pay for it all up front", which was NOT at all what I was previously told.

So we're off to a bad start here.

The account activation is supposed to be "Instant". Here I am, two days later and I have yet to receive any more information about the account. Yesterday I got on their "Live Chat" again, and explained the situation. I was told that billing does not work 24/7 and the status of the account was "pending". Billing? the money is already gone! I've been "billed".

So, my question is this: Does anyone here have any experience with this host? www DOT supergreenhosting DOT com

Good, bad, what? I'm pretty bummed out about all of this. My employer is paying for all of this, and i'm doing the work for him. I feel like i'm getting the run around, and I don't know what to tell him other than try to insure him that its a legitimate company and we should receive the hosting details soon.

Sorry for such the long, rambling post. New member so I can't link you with URLS.

Green Reseller Hosting

Sep 1, 2009

I'm thinking about diving into the world of web host reselling to host my clients web sites and help produce some residual income for myself

I have been comparing companies and their reselling plans for weeks now and am looking for some professional advice.

After searching through the forum I find a lot of designers and developers recommending hostgator

I like the looks of the plans offered by Green Geeks, you can find a rundown of their packages here: greenresellerwebhosting dot com

I like the unlimited disk space and bandwidth offered with every package and of course the green factor... however they do limit the number of domains you can host with each package.

I can't help to wonder if the unlimited diskspace and bandwidth is even necessary with the limited hosted domains and of course tech support for my clients is of vital importance

Green Datacenters- What Do You Classify As Green

Jan 21, 2008

I've seen quite a few data centers advertising about how "green" their facilities and/or services are. However, the great majority are far from actually being green, I don't see Rackspace or AtlantaNAP using solar panels for power (please correct me if I'm wrong). And I wouldn't exactly call using refurbished hardware being "green", as the great majority of older products consume more power than new.

Let me ask the community, what do YOU classify as being "green" ?

GREEN Hosting W/Resellers Program

I'm about to setup a resellers account. The best option on the block, so far, looks to be Host Gator. I would very much like to go with a green solution. I've done a lot of research and I've found very little. Here are the results of that research:

Before I go ahead and go with Host Gator, I wanted to ask if any site pointers knew of a competitive solution that was a bit greener.

Low Bandwidth - Super Low Ping

Jul 28, 2008

for a server to run a lightweight game server. It will require about 15-20KB/sec bandwidth. Fairly low ram requirements, and very little disk requirements.

My issue is, i need it to have VERY VERY low ping rates. Users will be connecting from Europe and US. Where can i go for something that would fill these needs? I've tried Amazon EC2, but its flaky sometimes..

Super Weird Connection

Jan 12, 2007

I have a VPS and I host 3 sites on it.

2 sites load perfectly fast, and 1 site loads.. 7 seconds slower.. ( estimate time ). When I asked some other ppl to load the site, 95% said it loads fast and 5% said it loads slow.

And no it's not the isp, the one person who has the same isp as me said it loaded fast no problem.

This is really strange.. anyone have a possible resolution?

Server CPU is at 0.10, and running smoothly.

[Review] Super Special Servers

Dec 6, 2008

[Review] Super Special Servers

Well, this isn't so much of a review as me saying what's happened in the last week since I ordered a server from them.

November 29th- Ordered a server, expected 2-3 days till my server was up. It turned out to be 2-3 business days (M-F). This, I admit is my fault for not reading carefully. A few more days, I did not mind.

I also submitted a ticket requesting more information on delivery dates and they said that my server would be up in 1-2 days.

December 2nd- I submit a ticket (Tuesday) just checking that they still remember by server. It's fine, they give me information on how their process works and why it may take up to three days.

December 3rd- It's now been 3 days, so I submit a ticket. I get a reply saying that it will be up tomorrow.

December 4th- Still no server.

December 5th- Still no server.

So basically, now I'm just hoping that I will get this server within the next little while before all of my players (I'm using this to run a web based game) disappear from the 2 day downtime so far.

Review: Corenetworks.net -- Super Cheap Dedicated Servers

Apr 26, 2008

I thought I would write a quick review of Corenetworks.net!

I've had a server at Core networks for about a year now, and have worked with support as well as billing.

Support
Lets start off with the most important thing, support. I am not one to need hand-holding from support, but every once and a while I need things like IP-KVM access, hardware upgrades, hardware replacements, etc. I've put in four requests for IP-KVM access via their ticketing system since I started hosting there, and each request was fulfilled within 30 minutes. I have to admit that 30 minutes is impressive for a dedicated hosting company. It must be remembered that they are unmanaged hosting, and managed hosting services cost extra. I find this scenario fits most technical people well because more resources are put into *real* requests such as hardware, kvm, etc instead of resources being used for hand-holding (i lost my root password, my apache process is not starting, etc)

Hardware
The price compared to the hardware you get is exceptional. A lot of hosting company's out there will push overused hardware on you. (some larger companies reuse hard drives over and over, check the smart drive lifetime with smartctl) The hard drive I was provided had a usage time of 3 months. That is VERY good compared to the average active drive life time at other hosting providers of 2-4 years. The hardware has been reliable and fault free (i have 2 machines now with no problems)

Uptime
This is the greatest part, every other budge dedicated hosting provider i've been with has had horrible power (sometimes reboots every few days, and the occasional downtime of a few hours) I have not had a single power outage or reboot since I first started at core networks! One of my severs has an uptime of 355 Days.

Network
The network is not blazing fast... with the package I got. I decided on the metered 3Mb connection (no extra cost) There is also an unmetered connection with a bandwidth limit, if anyone can chime in on this it would be great . I do know that I have always had a 3Mb full pipe on this plan (up and down) which is more then enough for my hosting purposes.

Features
Core networks has all of the features of the big-boys: Remote power management, bandwidth mrtg graphs, network status page, Free IP-KVM, etc.

Cost
The company does utilize it's cheaper servers as a bargaining tool for sales. It seems they unleash their $24/mo servers for a week or two to drive sales and then mark them as sold out. Currently I have the $49/mo servers (with a bit extra oomph) and I am ecstatic with the price. If you can catch the $24/mo servers, get them when you see'em!


Overall
Overall I would recommend corenetworks.net to anyone who is seeking a quality server for personal use or small business use. I am not sure how the service would meet enterprise level businesses, but they do have more expensive plans and I see no reason those would suck.

"Offical, im a reviewr score": 9 out of 10'

Plesk 11.x / Linux :: Hidden (Super) Master For A Domain

Jun 26, 2013

I've been trying to configure Plesk as a hidden (super) master for a domain and I've run into some problems.

First off, for those who don't know, a hidden master is a nameserver that is actually the master server, yet does not list in the NS records of the domain.

The servers listed as NS in the zone have accepted the server as their master, but the rest of the world does not know it exists. Hence the term hidden master. The slaves consist of two PowerDNS servers that acknowledge the Plesk server as a supermaster, thus enabling automatic zone configuration and the like upon receiving a notify from the Plesk server.

However, the Plesk server refuses to send automatic notify messages to the slaves (listed in the NS records, also added to the ACL / transfer restrictions template). When requesting an AXFR by hand the Plesk server happily transfers the requested zone to the PowerDNS slaves, but upon changing the zone files through the Plesk panel's DNS management system, no notify goes out to the slaves, which thus don't know anything has changed. I've tried adding an also-notify clause to named.conf (which was suggested elsewhere), but it appears Plesk overwrites the entire named.conf upon zone changes, thus erasing the also-notify clause, subsequently refusing to send out a notify.

Further research into the workings of Bind (the nameserver used by Plesk in this setup) suggests that, by default, it should send notify messages to all servers listed in the NS records part of a given zone. This is clearly not the case in this particular setup, but I can't seem to find where exactly notify messages have been disabled (there is no mention of notify in named.conf).

My questions therefore are:
1) Why doesn't Plesk / Bind send automatic notify messages to its slaves, which is the default behavior of Bind? Where and how has this been disabled?
2) Should 1 turn out to be impossible to fix, how do I override named.conf on a per-domain basis?

Cloud Computing :: Use External Computers To Do Super Computer Sized Tasks

May 6, 2008

I just heard this story on NPR yesterday discussing cloud computing, how you can use external computers to do super-computer sized tasks without having the hardware in house yourself.

If we host colocated servers, how feasible is it to get our servers into that game?

Being Green

Jul 4, 2008

So I see a lot of people advertising "being green". I've tried to Google around and find out, "What does it take to be green?" Unsuccessful in trying to find a list of requirement to being green. What does it mean to be green? How does one justify themselves being green?

I live in Washington state, over 90% of my data centers power is supplied by Hydro power. Does this make me green?

I recycle ALL of my equipment, Does this make me green?

I recycle as much trash as I can, boxes, cans, bottles, etc etc. Does this make me green?

finding out about any web / internet use that involves being powered by some form of green energy, i.e. host servers running on renewable energy.

There doesn't seem to be much info out there that I can find and it probably doesn't exisit but any leads would be appreciated.
Also, if anyone has any ideas on how green energy could be used in connection with the web I'd be interested to hear.

Green Eggs And Spam - Postini

we've been evaluating the Postini product for a short bit and was hoping this would be all that it's touted for.

So far, we're seeing it catch about 60% of spam but still some very obvious blatent ones are coming in.

Amazingly, we have done a forward as well to a gmail account, the gmails junk filters are pretty damm good...it catches the *rest* that Postini does not tag.

Just curious if anyone has has used other 3rd party spam services and your feedback/review

Home Based Dev Platform And Green Energy

Jun 11, 2007

I have had a bunch of various servers in my garage for years and it's proved to be a lot cheaper than having to fork out for training courses to learn different os's.

Plus since i work from home it's handy to have a setup that has the same operating systems that i work with, mainly hpux, solaris n centos

A couple of years ago i decided to try and get it running off green energy.

From the renewable energy point of view i have 6 big 12v 110ah batteries from a datacenter ups that were being decomissioned, linked to a decent 2kw inverter i managed to pick up very cheap.

Batteries are topped by a couple of solar panels and a small wind turbine (both ebay bargains).

I dont run all the servers at the same time but i can have few running happily.

I was wondering whether anyone here has done anything similar?

I originally started the idea off just to run 12v lighting in the garage but when i got the ups batteries i thought i'd take it a stage further

Shared Host "green" / Carbon Offsetting, Cpanel, $10-$20 A Month

Oct 23, 2009

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)

I have $10-$20 monthly (I purchase for a year).

"Green" Datacenters

Oct 29, 2009

Has anyone seen a (or operate their own) datacenter that is moving toward being "green" ? The renewable energy credits are great, but I'm talking more about generating their own renewable energy through large photovoltaic arrays or wind turbines, which feed back to the grid, charge a dedicated battery bank, or even charge UPS battery banks.

I've also been reading about ab/adsorption chillers that can take the hot water produced from solar thermal arrays and produce chilled water for HVAC use.

How great would that be!

Obviously some of these products are not ready to be relied on as an only source of power or cooling, and the sun and wind can be unreliable in some locations, but it is definitely something worth looking into.

Hosting Review Site Or Top 3 Hosting Co. For Shared Hosting

Apr 23, 2009

I'm trying to find at least three web hosting companies to choose from to host a Joomla websites on a shared server. Would consider dedicated if the deal was right. I have a friend of mine who wants to create a church website, and is looking for the best deal. I use Netfirms which I have never had an issue with, but I didn't want to be bias, and would like give him other options to choose from.

Is there a good WebHosting Review site, I could check out, or maybe someone could recommend their top three. I reading threw the forums here and I noticed there are not that many complaints with Hostgator. Again, I just want to see if there was anything out there better.

Your Opinion As A Customer: A Hosting Provider Who Couldn't Provide E-mail Hosting

Jun 4, 2009

Lets say you're a customer looking for web hosting, but do have technical experience - you know, you develop your own websites, you've had experience in this sort of thing before.

What if you came across a provider who seemed to offer a good service, they're high quality, they can host your website on their brilliant setup etc... but they do not provide any e-mail accounts with your hosting?

We're developing our own shared hosting setup, our own control panel too. Regardless of the control panel though, we wouldn't feel comfortable hosting peoples e-mail. We have plenty of experience in every other aspect of general shared hosting - but not looking after e-mail accounts nor the associated software.

To be honest I don't think that many shared hosting providers truely handle e-mail properly, and that job should really be left to the professionals.

We could of course guide customers or potential customers on why we won't offer e-mail accounts (i.e. not wanting to offer something we know we can't provide to a high enough standard) and instruct them on how to setup e-mail with another provider (such as Google, who will do this for free with limitations).

The alternative to the above is that we mask in a third party to look after e-mail, i.e. resell someone elses e-mail services as part of our hosting packages. The third party would require API access to setup/remove accounts..

What do you think? Are we just acting stupid trying to provide web hosting without e-mail hosting included? I noticed a while back Dreamhost encouraged their customers to use an alternative e-mail provider!
