UK Web Hosting 500MB Space 1GB Bandwidth Existing .org.uk Domain
May 3, 2008
I'm the webmaster for a church website: stpetersbraunstone.org.uk and our domain & hosting renewal is coming up, so I'm looking to see if there's a better deal.
We're with namehog.net (and have been for 2 years with no problems at all) on their Professional package. The renewal fees are 105GBP (web hosting) + 5.90GBP (domain name) + 17.5pc VAT to cover the next 2 years, which comes to 130.31GBP.
The site is powered by WordPress, so PHP and MySQL are needed. And we upload lots of photos, so need at least 250MB webspace I'd have thought. So far, our highest monthly bandwidth usage has been under 800Mb, and our visitor numbers are increasing and our highest monthly figure so far was 401.
Any recommendations gratefully received. There seems to be many different companies out there who offer what I want, so I'm after some personal recommendations please.
I've already used this site to discount streamline.net due to bad reviews.
I'm looking at fuzioned.com and redfoxhosting.co.uk - any thoughts?
I've also come across no-wires.co.uk - has anyone had any good or bad experiences with them?
And yes, I have submitted my details to the "request quote" thing.

I am planning to create a website for my business. Its a bulk exports business and there will be very few visitors, less than 1000 a month. Also space needed should also not exceed 100 mb as I will only have some html information pages and a few pictures of my products.
However, the webhost should be reliable and have an easy to use interface as I am a beginner in this field (I hear cPanel is good). Also I have 2 more domains/businesses which I hope this same hosting should cover so it should have addon hosting.
Please recommend a reliable hosting provider with a good interface and price under $25 per year.
The registrar I will be using for the domain is Namecheap as I am planning to register a .in (India) domain name and very few have that option.

delving into a new server, a dual opteron w/Centos. Got two questions as I think about setup.
1) 32 bit or 64bit?
2) Regarding host names and server assignemt...I can either assign it as a node to a domain hosted elsewhere in a reseller account, or I can start with a completely unused domain which is currently parked.
Any preference, in an ideal world?
(I have absolutely no preference, but it occurrred to me it may or may not be of consequence, perfomance & IT-wise and generally speaking .. all things being equal, of course.)
Like I said, a newbie. So I'm braced for the if-you-have-to-ask, you-shouldn't-be-in-one" musings for these rather basic boneheaders.

I added a new SSL certificate in `Plesk -> Tools & Settings -> SSL Certificates` and now want to link an existing domain to it.
However, on domain SSL Certificates page, the only option displayed is to create a new certificate. I can't select one of the existing ones.
Am I missing something? How can I link already added SSL to a domain?

while looking for a host I've found that there are many hosts that offer unlimited web space and unlimited bandwidth for very little money like 4$ per month and there are also expensive web hosts that offer limited but big webspace and high bandwidth for much more money. What am I missing here? If a big website like yahoo decides to buy that 4$ per month host and move there, what would happen? Would the bandwidth really be enough and not slow down? If it wouldn't carry yahoo then why do they say it's unlimited? I'm confused because I've heard about people spending thousands of dollars for big websites every month.

Unlimited space and bandwidth... totally lying?
I bought hosting with unlimited bandwidth, space, domain, etc. A few days ago I install script to sell photos. So I upload huge of photos and maybe eat their bandwidth and space. And today my account is deleted without any warning! I tried to ask this but no answer yet.
Is the Unlimited space and bandwidth is totally lying??? But why even hostgator selling the unlimited features?

I am sure this thread was most likely created before but I haven't been able to find anything on the particular host I just had an issue with.
It goes like this.
I've been through web hosts ever since 1998. I've grown accustomed to web hosts deceiving their customers by listing '20 gigs of BW use, or 'Unlimited BW' (which we all know is BS) but for the past few years, I actually had a host who didn't lie about how much BW their customers got with the packages. I signed up for a 20 gig BW account with HostVector and I've used up to 19 gigs and they have never said a single word. I left them recently because they were bought out by Millennium Services and ever since then, its been a nightmare. Constant down time, tech support nowhere to be found. Sadly to say, I had to leave that host due to fact that their new owners have no clue what they are doing.
I found ELIEF and thought they looked promising. I signed up for the package that listed 20 gigs of BW, now at first I thought okay.. this may be fishy, but if this was a flake, they would have specified that customers really won't get 20 gigs of BW.
Regardless, I trusted them the way I trusted HostVector. Seeing how I am a musician, I uploaded a 80MB pack and sent it to some friends to download and not even a 12 hours later. My account was suspended because it apparently caused their server to crash?
I checked the stats and only 68 users downloaded that 80MB file.
This is beyond aggravating. I know there are countless web hosts who lie about this type of stuff but why cant at least specify someplace on their page a more detailed info about bandwidth usage? Maybe put an asterisks next to the BW section like some hosts do and explain that what is listed there is not the reality.
So here I am, my domain is suspended. My fans/listeners/friends are wondering what happened and I am sitting here angered beyond belief because I thought this type of lying was something that hosts stopped doing in the late 90s.
Any recommendation guys? Does an honest web host who actually offers the same amount of BW they list on their hosting packages, exist anywhere?

OK so I've been in the hosting industry a very long time now and I have noticed that overselling has got more and more crazy over time. 7 years ago, 2GB of disk and 10GB bandwidth was considered overselling. Today, its common to see offers at 1000GB/1000TB.
So my question, to all you looking for web hosting, do you really think you will need all that space and bandwidth?
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. (Some might hate me for this!) Out of all my customers, 99% use less than 1GB disk and 5GB transfer.
Every hosting provider out there knows this, and will tack on a bunch of 0s to their offer to make it look more enticing . The thing is, if you aren't using the space, you aren't getting any extra value. If you come even close to the amount they offer, I am willing to bet you will be suspended faster than you can blink. This advertising tactic is very misleading and a lot of newcomers base their decision off the meaningless numbers they see. <<Snip>>
Bloggers - Think again if you believe you need anything more than 1GB of space. You could type blog posts until you are blue in the face before you come close to using 1GB(unless you incorporate a lot of videos and images)
Forum owners - Considering most forums are text based, forums use hardly any bandwidth. If you run a highly active forum, eventually you will start consuming decent amounts of disk space. However, there is no way that a shared host would allow such a forum to exist on the servers. You will be shut down before you use even a fraction of that 100gb/1000tb.
What should you consider than? If you see a host offering such impossible amounts of resources for an even more impossible price, look elsewhere. If you want a decent service, look to spend $5-10/m for a reasonable amount of disk space and bandwidth.

What should I do ?
Dear Site Point , im looking for some advice on which steps I should now take with my online business which really needs SEO performance to be the best it can but with my current hosting situation and existing customers using a live system things might be complicated.
Im using a hosting company in Europe to run UK Based websites which I have read makes no difference to SEO aslong as you use the Google webmaster tools and define the location. The hosting company offers the use of adding multiple domains to one account which I currently have about 50 so in theory 50 sites are using the same IP Address , I have just read that sites with backlinks to the same IP Address gives your site a big ' 0 ' for SEO backlink results, is this true ? so having " website designed by " has no effect on each of your clients pages.
I have looked into to becoming a reseller on a UK based hosting company but the problem is my customers use one master SQL database for all the products as all my customers even though different businesses all sell similar types of products so they all use the same SQL tables as it made no sense setting up a seperate database for each customer on the same hosting , each customer uses a shared control panel with sessions so everything is secure.
So Should each customer have a reseller hosting account with a seperate database / domain etc which could be a security risk as potentially they could resell the website software.
or
Keep the virtual overseas hosting (cheaper) and keep all my customers on one account and purchase a dedicated ip address for a primary domain that I sell from to try and boost SEO back links ?
or.....maybe someone could advise something better ? more stable ?

how much disk space and bandwidth would be needed to run a single Wordpress blog. I'm not a popular name, so I doubt I will have too many viewers besides my closest friends. In addition, I tend to make layouts which are a "teensy-bit" graphic-heavy :p
Is 2GB (disk space) and 30GB (bandwidth) supposedly enough?

I have an empty dedicated server, with plesk installed.
What surprised me was it was using 500mb of ram, when nothing was installed, no websites.
Code:
Mem: 2073912k total, 526132k used, 1547780k free, 28800k buffers
what is consuming the memory?

I'm an existing customer of Hosting Company X and notice that they have recently launched an offer that is a higher config than what I have right now, at the same price.
When asked about it, I was refused the higher config citing that new offers are not applicable for existing customers. I've been with them for over a year and have been experiencing very good support from them, but this one issue baffles me.
Why are existing customers less important?

how can i create directories in my (public_html / htdocs folder) that have disk space and traffic quota?
i activated the disk quota to the native linux file system and i tried to create a user but i could not put this user in any folder in the public_html (i dont know how to do this) also there is no option to create bandwidth quota..
one more detail is that the folders need to be protected with login and password because people may try to enter this folders (e.g. www.mydomain.com/protectedfolder)
all this using webmin or another free good script.

The most important requirement is that the webhost must be fast. It must have alot of bandwidth.
The disc space is not so important. 200 MB would be enough.
It must have PHP, MySQL and phpmyadmin installed.
Must be accesable through FTP.
There are offcourse more requirements. But the main thing is that i want it to be fast.
My pages will be only informative and exists of just mainly text and an image every now and then.
Do you know any fast webhosts that is good to handle websites with large amounts of visitors?
I'm looking for something around 6 dollars per month.
I dont know much about webhosting at all, so i'd appreciate any help i can get
Also i see websites where you can register a domain. But the prices vary, isn't a domain just a domain? What makes this price difference?

I am having trouble uploading a 500mb file with File Manager in the control panel as well as SmartFTP. I was told to upload this large file through Putty. I able able to login through SSH as root, but i can't seem to find the right directory to upload this file into. This file is a backup file of the home directory. I am transferring all files from my old host to my new host. How would I find the right directory and upload this file through Telnet.

In light of whats happened at the Planet in Houston we are moving up our plans to have an external DNS nameserver (with failover) and emergency website to alert customers in the event of our data center (C4D in Dallas) ever goes down.
From all the forum messages reagrds this event its apparent that a lot of hosting companies are suffering the worst from having their support websites at the DC where they host their customers and have no way of notifying their customers of whats going on.
Looking to trade 1U of rack space and 1 ip address anywhere in US (Dallas preferred) with someone else who is looking for the same thing.
While we are extremely happy with C4D and have faith in their DC, you can never be 100% prepared for things beyond your control.

I would like to find a host that could handle 2 or 3 domains but without bells and whistles... everything with shared hosting is $25 a month and up! All 3 sites are under 1mb (not likely to go over 3 mb), written in good old HTML; I would prefer a File Manager but FTP is OK too. Must be US based and have a reasonable uptime guarantee.

We have more than 10 domains on the same webspace, sharing the same document root. When we try to add a new domain on the same web space (sharing the same document root) Plesk takes a long time to create it (about 10 minutes). While domain creation, all the other domains sharing the same document root and web space get an authentication error. When Plesk finishes, all domains work again.

I've coded a small blog / file management system that I'd like to charge for space after 25mb (or so). In looking for hosting what should I consider? Will most hosts allow me to resell space like this? Will they even notice? What about when I need more space? Backups?

im running out of space on one of my sites but i have more then plenty of data transfer.
Unfortunately my hosting packaged it weird where they provide not enough hd space. Im trying to figure out is there a way where i can use another server or hosting company that can provide space only and use their servers just for space?
i think amazon.com offered this but wasnt sure how exactly this works.
