I just spent three hours digging through a pile of hosting companies trying to pick one, and although lots of them looked nice, were recommended by plenty of people and cost a reasonable amount they required 6months-a year up front. Some of them had a money back guarantee for 30/45/60 days, but what good is that if I have to cough up $60-100+ bucks to decide for a month?
So I'm looking for a list of companies who sell hosting monthly, not just at a monthly fee figured from the bigger time frame you pay for.
We are thinking of upgrading servers soon and had bad experience in the past while migrating servers. Are there any professional companies out there that can do the job ?
I'm planning to run a VPN service provider, but I'm not good at the technical side. Can anyone suggest a dedicted server provider who also can setup the VPN server?
I've only ever been with 2 hosts, so I'm not that experienced with web hosting.
But I notice everybody gives a monthly price, but the 2 host's I've used I have payed the yearly sum.
When I first got my host I was 16 and it was quite a bit of money, I could afford the monthly price, but It was a shock to have it all taken in one go.
Is there anywhere out there that you can choose to actually pay monthly, or is it done yearly to avoid the hasstle of setting up a server for someone who after one month decides not to continue paying?
Maybe this will help in my search for a web hosting or VPS site. Please reply to this list if you know the data. I'm showing tranfer rates and bandwidth in bytes not bits.
Ipower Observed transfer rate, throttled to 360KBPS, virtually guaranteeed though. I've seen peaks over 600GB / month with no complaints from Ipower.
Westhost Average transfer rate 170KBPS, peak rate 250KBPS.
if anyone knows of a good, free tool to monitor how much bandwidth a Windows machine uses monthly. I saw FreeMeter, but I don't know how well that will work to use for a whole month at once.
We are currently looking for Monthly Leased Virtuozzo Licenses, does anyone know who offers this? SwSoft only sells owned licenses which we don't need.
I have a dedicated server currently hosted over by Aplus.NET
I have a 3000 GB Monthly Transfer limit and we have been going over this limit for the past few months. This has resulted in a large sum of overage fees.
I am looking to go to another hosting company that is just as good as Aplus.NET, if not better... with a better traffic rate. A friend told me about Choopa.com and I wanted to know how good of a company they were. What are some other top reliable hosting companies with premium servers and that specialize in unmetered bandwidth?
Hi everyone - I'm looking for a dedicated service provider (US based) that can provide at least 256 IP addresses on a per server basis
I would also like the provider to offer 100mbit and preferably 1Gbit connections. If possible I would like to keep my costs under $200 a month, not sure if that's realistic but ya never know.
Total storage and data transfer limits aren't really an issue.
I found a company server . lu that provides a /64 IPv6 allocation, which is mindblowing - but they're europe based so that won't work.
thinking about it's to find some solution for offer 100% uptime for my customers.
Actually I have 4 servers running cpanel, my idea it's to setup another server where I put 4 VPS with a copy of the servers, and in case them fails, I up the VPS.
Real dedicated server will be ns1.
And the VPS will be ns2.
What I don't know how to manage it's the cpanel license, because if I want to have a copy of the servers in VPS I have to pay that licenses sure?
Also, today I see the DNS ONLY cpanel, could be better option? I'm also testing some cloud systems like mosso cloud servers and gogrid, but this don't allow me to be 100% and free of hardware failures.
And yes, not 100% because it's impossible, but 99,9999999%
I saw on Pacific Rack they have a section where they offer Rent To Own (RTO) servers. This is what I've been looking for and would like to know if any other host have this kind of offering?
From what I read from the site, RTO servers feature server financing over a set period of months, allowing a capital strapped customer from the initial large expense of purchasing a server. RTO server's are subscribed to as dedicated servers with part of your monthly payment going torwards the cost of the server. Once the set period of months has been reached, the server ownership is transferred to you. You then convert to a colocation plan, benefiting from asset ownership. Once you own the server, you can do what you wish with it, including having it shipped to you. (taken from PR website)
I'm currently doing close to a 25,000 daily unique average on my site and coming close to 12TB or monthly bandwidth transfer. With most DS Hosting services, I would usually be offered virtual rack solutions with multiple machines that would help raise my monthly limit but it would be greatly cost effective if I just stuck with one powerful server that offers unmetered bandwidth at a great price.
Most dcs offer 1-25 ip addresses... looking for some that offer 100-300 IPs.
Let me know any you have used, or any recommendations, or any places you know of that offer several IPs..
My justifiaction would be for SEO and SSL (As each SSL cert needs its own IP) -- a lot of datacenters don't like to give out more IPs, so I need some more lenient ones.
When will Hostgator offer windows hosting, they have had a Coming Soon on their site for AGEEEEESSSS...I am waiting to transfer over from existing host as I have another cpanel account with them and they do a good job.
