Dummy Question: Do Dedicated Server Hosting Plans Always Allow For Unlimited Domains
Aug 24, 2008do Dedicated Server hosting plans always allow for unlimited domains?"
It would be great if it was so, but I have NO idea if it is that way. My common sense says "of course stupid, you have the whole box for yourself", but my guts tell me I should know better before assuming it.
Virtual Private Server (VPS) Unlimited Number Of Website With Unlimited Number Of Domains?
Oct 5, 2007I'm new to Private Virtual Server and the package offered by different company are quite confusing.
I was on RackForce and their basis VPS package dds200-L can host 100 domain names on Plesk and unlimited domain names on WHM/Cpanel.
On 1and1 it didn't say if Plesk support 100 or unlimited domain names. My question is, do we always have the liberty to host unlimited domain names on our PVS?
Can anyone recommend a good VPS hosting company?
DS Plans Vs. Amazon EC2
Oct 25, 2009My services/sites approached the state when DS becomes a must. Currently I have a DS with Server Logix (and am quite satisfied with it, to add), but I suppose I'll need another DS in the foreseeable future, to transfer most active sites there.
Amazon EC2 service offers several types of 'elastic' servers. The smallest one, citing the product page::
1.7 GB of memory, 1 EC2 Compute Unit (equals 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor), 160 GB of instance storage, 32-bit platform
If run for a month, this instance would cost me 72$. Traffic (bandwidth) is paid for separately; I estimate I'd pay approx $20 monthly for traffic consumed.
The question: are there DS plans matching the EC2 Small instance (i.e., 100$ monthly for the server of similar configuration, with 120Gb of traffic included)?
I have tried the EC2 hosting, to test its efficiency and availability. I should decide, whether to switch entirely to cloud providers, or there are traditional DS hosting that could beat EC2 prices and offer good reliability?
All the comments on EC2 experience and DS providers would be very welcome.
I am interested in USA or Europe-based DS hosting providers, if any. I'd need a server in approx 3-4 months.

Switching Vps Plans
Apr 27, 2007Its been over 6-7 Months sonce i have been using Futurehosting vps cPanel - Elite Plan and i have been really satisfied with them!
Infact they are simply superb!
But Since last Month i am facing various horrible problems with my vps in cases of extra server load!
i have hosted only a invision power board forum on my vps which gets nearly 1k hits per day and talking about modifications i have no such modifications installed on my board that can raise up the server load!
i talked to Vik about this issue and he changed my account to a new more powerfull processor with same configuration;s and same value for money!
but now last night i got their email that they can no longer host my vps and that i have to swicth to a dedicated server!
Well Talking about a dedicated server i know that i have to move to it one day for sure but this is really not the correct time for me!
All My Vps is hosting is the ipb forum
I have requested Vik To Give me specifications of what processes have been raising the server load on the vps so that i can get it in deep of it!
Also i did submitted a ticket to Invision Guys and they scanned the system and found nothing at all that can raise up the server Load!
Contingency Plans
Jun 25, 2007When you colocate a server you have to be prepared for drive failures etc.
I was planning on having 4 drives in a raid 10 array and so getting either a 6 drive or 8 drive server and having 2 or 4 spare drives on the server available for replacement.
I was also planing on having a spare server online at the data center in case of some other hardware failure on the first server.
Is this scenario normal and have I forgotten anything?
PowerVPS Old Legacy Plans
Jan 13, 2009Is anyone here still running one of the "old legacy" cPanel vps plans from PowerVPS?
I`ve have had one for almost three years now, I was lucky enough to get one on a really sweat deal. Not often powervps offer specials so I snapped one up.
The server has run flawlessly, however I`m starting to realise the hardware and indeed software on these VE`s are probably getting old now. I recently ran a benchmark which scored 22!
Just reluctant to upgrade to their newer 64bit HSPC plans, I will lose out in diskspace, ram allocation and bandwidth, plus I will lose my 50% lifetime special.
Trying to decided whether it is worth keeping this old vps going owing to the fact the hardware and software is getting dated. CentOS 4 is the last version they can install on these old VE`s.
Anyone else still running an old plan with powervps?
Shared Webhosting Plans
Dec 9, 2008I would like to take in some thoughts on what the community wants in regards to shared hosting.
on the following
Type of plan (ie. specs wanted)?
Price?
Control Panels?
And anything else you would like to add.
Specialized Hosting Plans
Jul 22, 2008How do you think specialized hosting plans (specially for blog, forum, gallery, etc) with less features for newbies in comparison with those mostly offered by huge hosting companies are worth selling?

Jan 27, 2007I've been seeing shared plans with like 200GB space, 1000GB+ bandwidth for like $30.
Then the same company Offers dedicated servers for like $100.
Now 200GB and 1000+gb is more than the usual dedicated. So if your the host, why would anyne buy you dedicated over your shared. Your pretty much offering a dedicated at a shared price.

Nov 19, 2008Question about IP's on VPS plans
A lot of providers say "2 IP's included" or something to that effect when advertising their plans.

Guaranteed RAM And VPS (Virtuozzo) Hosting Plans
May 11, 2007I have noticed that most "reputable" VPS providers state both guaranteed and burst amount of RAM. However there also seems like plenty that only advertise burstable (looks better in the ad, I know) no matter how closely I look over the details.
For a Virtuozzo based VPS, is the guaranteed amount of ram something that must be specified? Or can it be configured for some sort of free for all burstable only accounts?
What I am wondering is if there is any good reason why a host would NOT tell me how much guaranteed RAM I would get?

How Does Google App Engine Compare To Web Hosting Plans?
Apr 2, 2009Google App Engine offers free quotas of 1 GB outbound traffic per day and 6.5 CPU-hours (based on a 1.2 GHz Intel x86 processor) per day.
How do those free quotas compare to web hosting plans? For example, the traffic supported by the free quotas -- is that
generally higher or less than the traffic supported by a typical $5/mo shared hosting account?
Above the free quotas, Google charges $0.12 per GB outgoing traffic, $0.10 per GB incoming traffic, $0.10 per CPU-hour, $0.15 per GB storage per month.
How do those numbers translate to normal web hosting plans? For example, the traffic that can be supported by a $40/mo VPS plan and $200/mo dedicated server plan, what would they cost on Google App Engine?
I know it depends on a lot of factors, but if anyone has any ballpark estimates or experiences they're willing to share I'd really appreciate it.
I'm trying to decide between App Engine and standard web hosting for a DB-backed Python site. The site will start small, but if the traffic grows I want to see which would be a better option long term.
Multiple Accounts/Subnets Hosting Plans
Apr 10, 2009I am the IT Director for a Furniture Manufacturing Company. I would like to establish relationships with Web Hosting Professionals that can provide me with multiple hosting accounts. Each must be on a different subnet. They do not require dedicated IP's. These accounts will be used to back link to a master domain. I can assure you that there will be no spamming or other unscrupulous activity on these accounts. Our company has been in business since 1862. I welcome this community to give me feedback thoughts ideas etc..
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen Is Shared Hosting Ok And When To Move To Semi-dedicated Plans
Oct 25, 2009From reading a good lot of posts here, I can see that HostGator seems to be a good company and that many have a good feedback to give about it. I've also been reading that you should avoid overselling, though understand that some companies, even though they offer "Unlimited space and bandwidth", they can manage it well. I guess HostGator falls in that category too. My questions here:
1) So what are the conditions under which it is okay to go for a company that offers unlimited space and bandwidth? (Expecting answers like 'if you just have a few blogs and don't require...')
I have read (here and elsewhere) that for most people's requirements, a shared web hosting would do. However, for someone a with a little more web baggage (individuals, not businesses), it is generally advised that they look at semi-dedicated hosting plans.
2) Based on the above quoted, objectively, what are the things that you should look at (like traffic per day etc) and what should be their values (for e.g. like 15000 uniques per day etc) while considering moving from sharing to semi-dedicated plans? I think some of them are the following, can you give me approximate values for these when I should consider the move?
a) Traffic
b) Number of active websites
c) Sites with heavy resource usage. (Can you give me some examples of this?)
d)...
What else am I missing in this list?

May 8, 2008It seems there is a small surge that is rising with big hosting companies moving towards unlimited.
I think it started with Yahoo and now over the last few days I have noticed some other companies listed below going unlimited on space/bandwidth.

With this in mind, I suspect many others will start to follow. We shall see in the coming months.
1&1 Unlimited
Aug 12, 2008I spent 2 weeks reading the materials this company has on it's website, AND, asking them several pre-sell questions to see if they would 'fit the bill', so to speak.
After answering all my questions, I ordered a 'managed' server, because although I have had vps's and other hosting accts., I didn't feel confident managing my own server.
Plus, they have a summer "special" for only $49.90 for the first 3 months, on a 24 month contract.
WHAT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!
First, it took 2 and-a-half weeks to setup my server. I had to go screaming to paypal to get them to tell me my server was ready. (They SAY it'll be ready within 5 days) I had to cancel the contract, and rant and rave to get that far. (Who needs the stress - know what I mean?)
Also, I had called their support a couple times to try to get the status of my server order, and the people working for them, don't know a darn thing. I got sent to two different places, just trying to find out what had happened with my server order.
Anyway, I was satisfied that I finally had my server, and removed the claim at pp. The drama continues . . .
One of the questions I had asked them PRIOR to buying, is how much additional ip's would cost for this package. They gave me the cost, and I made a 'mental note' of it.
Last night, I sent an email to them requesting several more IP's, as I need them for several projects I've been WAITING to get started.
I was told that I can't HAVE additional IP's for my server. Has anyone EVER heard of that before?
Upon spending more time on the 'server' interface, it's nothing more than an admin panel, (not windows, whm, centos, or cpanel, etc.) that you can build 'a' website with.
Lots of FLUFF, but not the definition of a server AT ALL! It's somthing that a complete newbie would order because they can't make their own website.
So, now I've wasted almost a month screwing around with this company, and they out and out LIED to me, (I have the emails to prove it) and I'm left 'out' $50, all the time they wasted, AND, I don't know if I'm even going to be able to afford another solution until next month! I'm just getting started and my budget isn't very big, but I AM honest, and I pay my bills. I'm on disability, so I have to plan my budget carefully, until I get rich that is.
(Sorry, sidetracked there, 'cause I'm VERY upset right now.)
Bottom line, this company sucks all the way around. I think they are just so big, that there isn't any personalized service at all, and their customer service people are dumb as rocks.
Avoid them like the plague!
Have a great day everyone. I've been crying all day, so I'm going to go do some aromatherapy with a hot bath and some candles. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully God brings me another solution.
Virtuozzo - Unlimited VEs
Mar 27, 2009Does any dedicated server provider give a Virtuozzo license with unlimited VEs? I've noticed that most of them give 3, 10, or max. 100. Do you have any idea why wouldn't they give a license for unlimited VEs and why are they restricting the number of VEs that we can create on a server since, as far as I've understood, Viruozzo provides license considering the CPU no.s, but not the number of VEs.

May 27, 2009what do you consider unlimited? Is unlimited simply a marketing term? I've seen a few host go from offer 1000mb to just listing it as unlimited.
I could understand that after some time a person may become confused once they start using too many resources but was the "unlimited" just a trend other hosting companies have followed? or do you congregate somewhere and decided, hey we should do unlimited, lol.
I'm curious because I see these "unlimited" plans a lot, as a consumer I'm really starting to focus more on plans that do listed in numbers what you get as appose to just seeing the word unlimited.
