UltraHosting.com Your Thoughts And Reviews
Mar 10, 2008
What are your thoughts of Ultrahosting.com, I didn't find may reviews here on WHT.
I talked with the sales rep. and he said they host people such as: Mazda, Chrysler and Xerox.
Here's some info he gave on their server:
Quote:
Paresh: to provide some way of background...Ultrahosting is part of our parent company Momentum
Paresh: Momentum handles Managed Service Operations for Enterprise level customers
Paresh: Ultrahosting sits in the same data center as these clients

I had them for about 6 months and it was great until some time in the middle of May I got an email from them saying "my website is overloading/overlimits and even small dedicated sever wont handle the load" I had "Failover Reseller Plans" which allows 10,000MB space & 200GB bandwidth. The only script my website had at the time was a phpBB forum. My forum got about 2-3 posts per day with an average of 300 users per day. How could it cause overloading/overlimits ? Their "abuse team" wasn't very helpful at all! I got fed up with it and moved my site to a new webhost => servint
However, their support team was amazing. They replied to my tickets very fast. They were always online even at 3 or 4 am !! And most of the time they were very helpful and wouldhelp you with anything.
Would I go back to them again? i'm not sure ...maybe or maybe not
Servint
So I moved everything to Servint VPS after this whole incident. I really have no word to say about Servint except that they're AWESOME! I really like them & their support team. I had them for about 4 months and no complaints about them. However due to my financial prob (spend all my $ on gas & rising cost of everything) I had to downgrade to a reseller account instead
Now I'm moving to Hostgator.
I'll give you all my reviews in a few months...

Ultrahosting is a leader in web hosting services worldwide. I've spent 4 months making a research about hundreds of companies around the world from different countries and did a lot of efforts and finally I could find Ultrahosting. I do believe that Ultrahosting should promote itself better and make itself more visible to people for the high-quality service you provide and better prices.
This is my opinion after spending 3 months with them using the VPS plan. they are great.
I know some of you may agree and other will not, but it is an open place for everyone to write his comments.

As you may have seen in my other thread, I was looking for a dedicated server to replace our aging celeron machine. My requirements were RAID 1 mirroring (hardware or software), a dual core processor, 1GB+ of RAM, and at least 1TB bandwidth.
I also ideally wanted a company who had been around for a while and has a good reputation. Price was also an issue (wanted to spend under $150 per month).
First of all it was very difficult to find a dedicated server provider who offered RAID 1 mirroring for a reasonable price. I finally came upon iweb (www.iweb.com), who seemed to meet all my criteria. I had an excellent experience with their sales team (particularly Martin, who posts here on this board under the name atchooo). They offered everything I wanted, and for a great price. In fact it was the best price I had found anywhere. They were also Canadian, which is a plus for us, as we are happy to keep our business within Canada. I was about to pull the trigger but tried to negotiate a little extra thrown in for free, and was waiting for a response.
In the meanwhile I received a quote from UltraHosting (www.ultrahosting.com). They are apparently new to the SMB market, but host many other big name clients including Mazda and Chrysler in their datacentre, under their parent company Momentum (formerly OnX I believe). They were also a Canadian company, which again was a plus. Their quote was quite a bit higher than iweb (but in line with most other providers), so I was about to dismiss them. Then I noticed their "price guarantee" policy.... so thought what the heck, and told them what iweb was offering me (including the negotiated extras I was trying to get, which I hadn't even received confirmation on yet).
A few minutes later I got a response with a new quote. They not only matched everything iweb was offering, but even BEAT the price by 10%, and that's with hardware RAID 1 mirroring, whereas iweb was offering me software RAID mirroring.
The offer was too way good to turn down, so I took it.
(As an aside, I should mention that iweb did eventually offer me what I asked. On top of their already excellent rates, they offered to waive the setup fee on a monthly contract, and even through in a few other extras for free. I also have a little more confidence in iweb as they have been around longer, and I like the fact that their sales/support people post here. There also seems to be a lot more information available online about their network and datacentre. If they had in fact responded an hour earlier I would almost certainly have signed up with them, and probably would have been quite happy.)
Anyway, my server with UltraHosting was online within about 36 hours. I had some concerns with the way the disk was partitioned (the /home partition was too big... and plesk doesn't store its files there), so I asked them to rebuild the machine. I didn't have anything on the machine yet and I thought I might as well have everything the way I want it since it's gonna be like that for a while.
They responded within minutes and said they would go ahead and do it, and they even waived any fees involved (after I asked). I sent the request late Wednesday night and by Thursday morning the machine was back online the way I wanted it. I've been very impressed with their service so far. Everytime I've sent an email to their support team, I've received a response within 5 minutes. And a few of those emails were even sent at 10pm and 1am!
Retrospectively, if I had received both quotes at the same time, I may have still chosen iweb (even for the slightly higher price) just because they've been around longer and I want to make sure they will be there when I need them. However my experience with UltraHosting has been great so far so I'm satisfied.
Phew... ok perhaps there's more info in this post than was necessary, but I just felt like sharing my story. I'll try to remember to post a 6-month review somewhere down the line.

My Experience with Ultrahosting.com Dedicated Services STAY AWAY FROM IT!
I had 3-month experience with ultrahosting.com and I want to share this experience.
if you may have seen the prices are really nice, .. as I thought at glance.
I've ordered my windows dedicated server with Helm control panel.
after 3/4 days I called them and they told me that there is problem with Credit Card or something else... but everything was correct, they told me call them and I called and they told me they'll send me the information .. but after 24hours still nothing! .. I called them again and they told me that they are still waiting for the Helm license request!.
after 5 days (I think) I had the server but I found that the Helm license is only for 100 domains! they told me that the Helm license which is in the order form is for 100 domain (but nothing was written), and if I want Helm unlimited license I've to pay 60$(the helm license in it's web site is 50$ if you purchase directly from Helm )..
ANYWAY YOU SAW OUR PROBLEM AT THE FIRST! ..
NOW .. after 3month .. after having lots of support problem and license and ..
I woke up at the morning and I've got an email with the subject of "your service has been terminated"! ..
TERMINATED! What? .. they told me that we did the ARP Poisoning on their network! and everything is finished !! chating with live sales doesn't helped me so I called the support, but the fun is that the support staff couldn't talk well English (I was wiered!!) and he told me that I've to send email again .. still no response for the email ..my offer is that stay away from ultrahosting .. I decided to start again with Iweb .. but it's really kinda starting again .. cause I'll for sure lose all of my customers who was on the ultrahosting's servers.
they are new to dedicated even thought they are in co-operate with Momentum, they had no help desk in more than 2-month I was sending request to them asking for a help desk. as an experience : we should never work with the guys how has no experience! .. I hope that Iweb can help me. it's better to spend a little (30$) more with Iweb instead of having trouble like this!..

Are the amazon's EC2/S3 solutions a viable alternative to dedicated hosting? The thought of capacity/bandwidth/computing power on demand sounds great in theory. Could it host a basic LAMP setup?
If you've done any research in this area i'd love to hear your thoughts. Are they apples and oranges?

Hope this is the right place for this question. I'm interested in hosting with 1and1.co.uk as they are good value and allow multiple domains to be hosted (incidentally, will nosy people be able to figure that the different domains are hosted on the same package?).
Just wanted to hear your thoughts and experiences? It seems cheaper to host on their American site compared to the British site. Am I allowed to do that?

I was having problems with shared hosting so I'm having a crack with a VPS from wiredtree. I have been with them 3days so thought I'd post up an early review on my first thoughts then update 3months on, 6months and 12months.
I'm new to the VPS world and have never had any experience with server management/functions other than with-in cpanel so you could say I'm a total noob, so this is coming from a newbie perspective. Ok so here goes for the pros/cons so far.
Pros:
- The set-up was fast once sorted (see the first con).
- The payment system and ordering process was easy to follow.
- The support is very fast helpful and understanding (this is for their online support not phoned them yet).
- The start-up e-mail is useful and gives clear direct instructions.
- The prices are fair and in-line with the market.
- Their 'Grove' control panel is clean and clear and gives you access to vital functions and information, such as DNS, server stats, billing and support.
Cons:
- When I set-up my account they didn't ring to confirm I had to chase them to get it sorted but once it was confirmed my server was up in under 1 hour.
- On their bottom package they give 348mb ram which before you put anything else on the server over 60% of this is used by other functions/softwares. Of course these things can be turned on/off when needed but I feel this should be mentioned at sign-up so people can understand and plan what they are going to need.
- Their knowledgebase has so far failed me as the issues I have had (mostly due to being a noob) are not listed on it and there are no other way other than submitting a ticket to find out about the small easy to solve problems, but their support is fast so no biggy.
Overall its not been a bad start It has had some floors but I'm happy and things are running smoothly.
Like I said these are only first thoughts on the service and I will update at later dates to give a clear picture on their service.

Is security really that critical? If so, why are some of the largest software companies providing such a bad example for the rest of the industry? Why would someone want to target my website? Why is security often overlooked?
These are all common questions that arise on a daily basis within the online industry.
The rest of this article will provide some detailed answers, along with practical examples and true scenarios.
I've spoken with numerous hackers over the past short while. I can't count the number of times I've heard the line "Ignorant site owners deserve to be hacked". In my opinion, that's like claiming that cars without alarms deserve to be stolen, or homes without alarm systems deserve to be burglarized. It's not just wrong - it's illegal.
Security risks and vulnerabilities affect the entire online industry. When a single website is hacked, there are usually multiple other victims. This is most commonly seen with widely distributed software. A potential attacker has the ability to install the software on a test environment, locate the vulnerabilities, then attack random victims even before anyone else is aware of the potential exploits. Once a vulnerability is located, the attacker simply needs to search for other environments using the same software, and within minutes there are hundreds, often thousands of potential victims.
Typically, in the race to market, software providers are encouraged to release their products as soon as the applications are usable. Critical development procedures are often overlooked or intentionally bypassed. One such miss is an application vulnerability assessment. Although the product may be usable, the effects of a vulnerable application could be severe.
Sadly, nobody is "off limits" when it comes to hacking. Most hackers feel safe committing online crime, since the online industry has evolved much faster than the security industry. Many applications are not created with the intent to recognize hacking attempts. Some hackers view their actions as a competition - Who can attack the most valuable website? Who can exploit the most user databases? In many cases, these attacks are bragged about within the hacker's immediate network. The competitive nature of these hacking groups has become so severe, there have been reports of attacks between competing organizations.
You might ask, "If I use industry standards, won't my environment be secure?". The short answer: no, but it helps. Hackers are not restricted by industry standards. Most security companies only implement new standards once at least one victim is reported. This often gives hackers plenty of time to locate other vulnerable environments, and before long, the number of victims can increase rapidly. Hackers are some of the most innovative individuals within the online industry. The most logical way to combat them is to use similar methodology for security purposes.

We run our site from a dedicated server at Rackspace and have done for 6 years now. Whilst i'm very happy with the level of service provided we're starting to consider small cost savings by moving to other providers.
We did select LiquidWeb and have attempts a couple of moves to the new server but so far without success (most recent being yesterday with 12 hours of frustration!). A lot of the problems seem to be down to cPanel/WHM being a lot more "locked down" than were were used to with Webmin (that runs on Rackspace servers) and being somewhat unfamiliar with cPanel/WHM.
We have asked advice from LiquidWeb support and whilst they seem to be reasonable in responding, i've yet to feel the "heroic" aspect although this might just be due to being spoilt at Rackspace for many years. Support responses tend to be quite "rushed" and do the minimum asked for rather than going that extra "mile" which was seemingly indicated during the sales cycle.
My question is this - do people have thoughts on potential other fully managed providers? Should we even be looking for a new provider?
Specs looking for:
- Fully Managed
- Dual Xeon Quad Core
- 2GB RAM
- 2 x 73GB SCSI RAID
- Some form of Remote Backup
- Linux
We're currently paying about $850 for the server at Rackspace which has the following specs:
- Single AMD Opteron 246 2.0 GHz
- 2GB RAM
- 2 x 73GB SCSI RAID
- Managed Backup
- RHEL4
- Webmin

I regret to bring this to a public forum but having seen that solarvps has a presence here I am hoping that a resolve to this issue can be found, and any public opinions are welcomed.
Having been a customer with solarvps since 2006 without any cause for concerns it does not make me happy with some recent issues I have had with them. So I have had a vps server hosted with them since 2006. Sometime in February when attempting to login to my VPS I got an error, I left it as this happens sometimes, it happened for 4 days in a row so I thought this is a little strange logged in to my control panel, to see no VPS server was listed under the account. There was no invoice generated either. Ok this is strange but I just assumed it had been terminated, no invoice came through and that particular server was a backup server so I sought hosting elsewhere.
4 months pass I get an email from solarvps stating my account is overdue with charges applied. I contact them back straight away asking what they are billing me for I have explained the situation time and again to them, I have asked the questions why the server disappeared from my account, why I wasn’t able to access the vps remotely and why no invoices got generated at the time to which I have had no response, I have asked more than 5 times now. The only response I keep getting form them is threats if I do not pay to hand over to a collection agency and the possibility of legal action. To which I have replied each time that I will contest any such action and seek legal advice myself.
Granted I should probably have contacted them at the time but really they are at fault more than I am for not asking them what has happened, I truly believe I am not in the wrong here but nobody within solarvps is prepared is looking at the facts of what has happened here.
Well anyway I hope bringing this to a public forum will bring a resolve and maybe some answers. I am getting no response from anybody within solarvps and would be happy to take this away from the public if they are willing.
I am not unfair nor does it make sense that a customer for so long would just decide not to pay you one month and kick up a fuss over such a small amount of money but the fact that I am not in the wrong with this matter, I am not prepared to pay them no matter how much bullying tactics they wish to adopt in trying to make me.

I'm looking for a way to get a little more mileage out of Apache + PHP environment without losing Apache capabilities. In shared hosting environments, losing features such as .htaccess and a real mod_rewrite are not even on the table. I'm also not willing to accept the performance hit and connection issues that are inherent with FastCGI, so that means mod_php.
In this particular situation, there are two busy sites, which are the problem.
These are a few ideas I've been thinking about.
1. mod_proxy + nginx: mod_proxy sends static content requests to nginx. This requires two sets of vhost files to be maintained.
2. mod_cache: Caching common static content such as page graphics .css, .js, etc.
3. squid
If you've been down 2 or more of these roads, I could benefit from your experience.

i found a nice ovh server which is a quad core with 8 gb of ram on a 1 GBps port. I saw a few reviews and i heard people say that they will lower your speed or something. What i need to host is a game server which uses a lot of upload. At least 10 mbps at MOST excluding users that have to download a 5 mb file. Perhaps if i tested my upload on speedtest.net if i had a ovh server that is on a 1 gbps port. What would the upload be?

Anyone here used Midphase? Over at WHT you can find as many negatives as positives for almost anyone you chose. Anyone at Sitepoint used them? I'm very cautious about switching and have checked into several web hosts. I would stick with the one I have now, but server load spikes seem to come at the worst times and stay around for hours.
