what includes your ideal web hosting package. How many space, data transfer, which features? How much do you care about uptime, customer support etc.?
I believe it would be interesting if webmasters can write here how looks their ideal hosting plan...
to start a web design and hosting business and am in need of some hosting for it all...
I've looked at the reseller hosting at [url] which looks good, but they said that I cannot host a 'file distribution' web site. Because one of the sites I will be hosting is an eCommerce application that sells videos for download, I'm not sure whether this would be allowed. I read the SLA and I think it would be, as long as the bandwidth didn't exceed 25GB per month.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of other web hosting packages that might be suitable for everything I need (PHP4, PHP5, MySQL) that weren't too expensive. I don't really want to pay more than £40 per month.
Ideally I'd like unlimited bandwidth and data transfer and web space, but if not, at least enough for a good number of sites!
I ordered a domain from Name and a shared hosting package from Hawk Host. How do I set them up so they work together? I thought all I had to do was add the Hawk Host name servers to my Name account but that doesn't seem to be helping. I don't have any webpages up yet but I do have some files uploaded to be used as a redirect for a game server. The redirect isn't loading properly most of the time and when I type my domain name into a browser my directory won't show up either, just the parking page. I ordered both of these last week.

Anybody have ever tried godaddy for windows webhosting package ? Are they really support ASP .NET 3.5 and MS SQL 2005 ? Is their support good?
I really need good and low cost hosting ($4-$5) for my personal website using ASP .NET 3.5 and MS SQL 2005.
I already tried godaddy for their domain service , however, I never tried their hosting services....
I am looking for a host that allow adult content.
it is to be used for a blog, wordpress based with a minimum of space requirements.
EU based is a must have.
currently it is using 25mb + 200mb bw/month.
I need it to be cpanel based and with awstats.
Mysql is not required as it is hosted aldready.
so I am looking for something reliable with a fair amount of space/bw for a small monthly price.
not required but a nice thing to have would be the posibility for more domains on the account.
Eny host you can recommend for this?
I have found this forum through searching google for articles etc about the best/cheapest host for a small forum, and I think this is the best place to ask I have searched the many topics on this but none of them quite answer my question, so I apologise for repeating what may have already been done.
Anyway....
I currently use a free host (forumotion) and have become increasingly frustrated at not having total control over my forum, and not having access to the database.
I figure now will be a good time to move as the forum is only a couple of months old.
So what I am looking for is a basic hosting package including domain name, that can support phpbb version 3. Im looking for cheap and cheerful basically. I dont know enough about this kind of thing to elaborate, but here are my forum stats;
Number of posts 10781
Posts per day 121.13
Number of topics 625
Topics per day 7.02
Number of users 153

As you can see it is pretty small.....it may grow over the next couple of years but has a shelf life of 2010 as that is when the TV show finishes (its a Lost forum), and it may continue for a while after that but I dont expect it to go on and on and on
We have a lot of media posted, mainly youtube vids and jpeg, and we also have a small aracde, so i'm guessing I would need a lot of room there? Plus we have newsletters that would need to be hosted as online versions but they are just html documents.
I hope I have given enough information....oh budget wise I am looking at cheapest possible as I dont want to start charging members to fund the hosting costs.
I know ESXi free can't be used in a hosting environment but what about the smb edition?

I've setup a Kloxo cluster, with the main server on 1 server, and all the others (mail, dns, web) on another server - still testing it out.
Then I created a package in Kloxo with some limits and gave it a name. Then, I went into WHMCS, and added the product, and chose LxAdmin from the modules drop-down.
I then proceeded to add the package name in, and told WHMCS to "Get the available choices from the server" and then I get the following error:

Im thinking about launching a dating/social networking website and i was told that i will need a managed dedicated server package and i just want to know if anyone can recommend a company that offers a high quality reliable service like this? Price is obviously important too.
I would also like to know if countries like India offer good reliable high quality managed dedicated server packages too? Or if its better to go with a company in the United Kingdom or the USA etc?
Perhaps there is someone on this forum who also runs a dating/social networking website and can recommend a good dedicated managed hosting package as well?
This is the letter I've faxed 7 days ago(May 12, 2009) and NO RESPONSE!
------------------------------------------------------------
Open letter to Lunar Pages (Add2Net),
Hello Lunar Pages (Add2Net), I’m writing this letter in order to let you how unsatisfied we are with your service. We have opened account on March 28 2009 and still we are not able to work out with your Staff to make our website work today is May 12, 2009.
First we have ordered the VPS(windows) hosting with SQL server database and it took 3 times for your administrators to understand that we need a Windows hosting NOT Linux. It’s obvious if you use Sql Server you’ll need to use Windows server with ASPNet technology Right? Not for your staff.
Secondly we have provided the database but don’t have any reasonable rights at your servers so we have to wait for days for your untrained administrators to do some work for us. I understand the security procedures you should understand US, we have business to run which is waiting for days.
Let me explain this problem in more detail and tell you OUR “database story” from the beginning:
We have provided the files then your staff installed that on some separated server from our hosting, than re-installed that on our VPS server than they have returned that to that separate server (round trip yes it is). After that we have asked them to update our database, they said OK. We have provided the files from SQL 2008, than member of your staff said
“Unfortunately, we do not support SQL Server 2008 on VPS plans, nor the 2005 version due to the high amounts of system resources they consume. However, we can create a database for you on a remote MS SQL 2005 server where you are allowed 1 G of database / 300 MB log. The IP of your VPS would be white listed and you would be allowed to connect to the database only from the VPS's IP.”
Help Desk No: 13
Response by M. M. (hidden for privacy reasons initials are correct)
Ok than I spent 2-3 days in converting the database. When I’ve uploaded the files your Senior Windows Admin R. D. (hidden for privacy reasons initials are correct)was unable to attach our database because our file was too big?? And he asked me to cut the file of 380MB in parts. Does he knows how long it would take me to do that and to make everything to work … maybe 3 months? So I had to do His job and do research online what he could do too but he didn’t. So I made the script for him which I’ve also tested and send that to him with an explanation (digested so 2 year old kid could understand not a Senior Admin). But, Mr. R
R. D. didn’t. So I have to make few calls to get in touch with him and to explain to him what he should do. So finally he did it on Apr 29 2009 and it worked like charm. But, this is not the end … our “hell story” it is just the middle of the story. Since than Apr 29 2009 I was in constant contact with Mr. D.(hidden for privacy reasons initials are correct) asking him to make some corrections to OUR ONLY database so our website could work properly as ANY other ASPNET website. I also tried to apply changes myself but I don’t have enough permission so my hands are tied. So finally I’ve got in touch with him over the phone after 3 days of trying (nobody ever answered the phone with his extension "3...") but the phone call was disconnected and I was unable to reach him again. He responded: “I am sorry that our phone call was cut short. It appears that the connection between my location and the main office was interrupted.
As I was trying to explain on the phone THe permissions that you are requesting are not capable to work on this environment. There are two reason as explained to me by the admin who has setup the SQL Service for VPS customers. First reason is this will prevent the possibility of SQL Injections as a security precaution. The second reason is related to overall usage on the server. This will prevent any one customer running away with the available resources on the server. With these two factors in place the permissions that you have requested are not available at this time Unless you upgrade to a dedicated server.”
The problem is that we have ran our website with 2 previous hosting companies websol.us (it’s still running there because we weren’t able to switch to Lunar yet)and viux.com on shared web servers with smaller packages than we are having with you (VPS), and had no problems and hadn’t been asked to run this on dedicated servers. This company is small and website is small too believe it or not. I’ve been worked on a lot bigger projects and never had problems like this.
My question is: (the same I’ve posted on Friday May 08, 2009 at 11:24 PM …and no answer yet):
Can you please help us and contact the only educated person there Mr.A. K. (who is our last hope) and ask him if he could give the right permissions for our ASPNET user there so our website could function normally? Can you pleas ask him if he could be of immediate assistance for us if ask for help in next few days do we can finally have our website working properly.
If not I’ll have to ask for a full refund and cover of expenses for our "lost time".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a windows 2003 "web edition" dedicated server leased from fasthosts.
I would like to store some asp includes in a specific location on the server that can be called by different domains.
I have a problem I am tracing on a single virtual host on a dedicated server running whm/cpanel and apache 2.2.9. I am tracking down a 500 internal server error on a group of cgi scripts (that works on another virtual host on the same server). Apache was installed with easy apache included with whm.
My problem has been narrowed to the cgi-bin itself. To test I created a simple hello world script that runs in the web directory of this particular virtual host, but gives a 500 error when run in the cgi-bin.
Looking at the configs for apache, boy is this a mess, I have a group of configs in /etc/httpd/conf and another group in /usr/local/apache/conf. When I restarted apache it seems to be reading the /usr/local/apache ones (even though they both look the same in /etc/httpd also.
On the httpd.conf file, the virtual hosts are listed there with all the paths I need. But above each one it gives a warning:
DO NOT EDIT. AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED. IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE PLEASE USE THE INCLUDE FILES.
The include is listed on the virtual host as:
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/domain/domain.com/*.conf"
on the one that works. And in the following format:
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/domain2/domain2.com/*.conf"
on the one that doesn't.
The funny thing is that /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata does not exist.
This makes me truly appreciate my DirectAdmin server. Anyone have ideas where to look for adjusting apache server settings on this type of setup?
And is this complicated setup due to easy apache or cPanel itself?
I have my postfix server configured to allow me to send email without authentication whenever my ip matches a value in my config. Only problem is, i have it open to accept anyone in my subnet, and i'm kind of weary of letting anyone in this area send mail through it.
I have a script on my server that gets my ip address whenever i send an http-based request to my winamp now playing script. When it gets my ip address, it updates a file called ip.txt with my ip address. What i'm trying to do is config my postfix main.cf file to grab the ip from ip.txt, and add it onto the mynetworks variable. Then when i try to send the email, i want it to recognize me, and let me send the email.
how to run SSI(server side includes) on my linus server,
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe upgraded 7 servers from our network from PHP 4.4.7 to PHP 5.2.5, and Apache 1.3.3.9 to Apache 2.0.61. In only one of this servers we found problems with includes...
Include example that works:
Code:
<?
include("http://www.google.com");
?>
This doesnt work:
Code:
<?
include("path/file.php");
?>
And path/file.php does exist, also log error from apache doesnt even show a line .
allow_url_fopen was replaced by allow_url_include and it's set to On.
Im using PHP 5.2.5, Apache 2.0.61, cPanel and RHES 4.
I have issue with my shared server. Someone used SSI to local attack user on my server.
I want to disable SSI but i dont find out how to ? (expect manual recomplie apache)
I want to enable our server ssi server side includes (.shtml parsed).
My hosting company controls our server uptime, daily backup, server loads etc. when i request them; can you please enable ssi for shtml pages, i want to use ssi includes etc.. they suggested me use php instead of shtml for includes.
I want to .shtml, beacuse i use only ssi include header, footer same pages, also these pages search engine friendly.
Apache version: 2.0.52
I posted them please add following lines and restart apache afterwards:
Options +IncludesNoExec
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
They added and restarted apache, but not any affect. When i access .shtml pages via web browser, page opening successfully but not parse ssi includes, example:
<!--#include file="header.html" -->
but not parse, also i cannot use .htaccess files, our server admin say restricted them because security reasons.
I requested them our server root username and password, they say to me; before give you server root password, we remove all our server administration software from server and server administration service will be cancelled.
I am having some trouble with getting 'include' working. I have a new dedicated server running Apache 2.0.63 and PHP 5.2.6. Local includes on the same domain are running ok, but remote includes are throwing a problem. On the many sites we plan to host on this servber we use a central 'webmaster' page called as an include from a specific site (also on the same server).
I need to edit the PHP.ini and /or recompile the PHP with the appropriate modules to do one of the following...
1 (ideally) - allow includes from any site that is held on this dedicated server
2. allow includes from specified websites
3. simply allow remote includes
right settings to get one of these
options running and solve my problem?
Has anyone tried any online backup services which gives mobile access also. I have been thinking about trying one. But I'm not sure if any are better than others. My main concern is security.

View 6 Replies View Relatedi would just like to have your good opinion on something....
Im currently at a loss to what kind of hosting package to choose.
WebHostingBuzz's VPS BRONZE Web Hosting
or
HostGator's ALUMINUM Reseller Hosting Package
i have a bunch of sites and some of them are hosted at WebHostingBuzz. One of them just got suspended. Heres what the email said....
*************************************
we have found your account to consume more than its fair share
of server CPU/Processor, Memory and Disk Bandwidth resources.
This results in sub-par server performance and is a violation of our Acceptable Usage Policy.
Your account appears to be resource intensive by nature and 9 times out of 10, this is down to the software and/or scripts used.

(note that the said account only has a PHPBB forum with about 20-30 active members)
They suggested that i move up to a VPS.
So that's why im choosing between the two packages. One is their VPS and the other is a shared hosting.
Anyone know of any hosting service that provides a FULL Reseller Package on VPS, NOT SHARED.
ALL Reseller Packages I have found are on "shared hosting"?
Why is that?
As a Reseller the most important thing to me for my clients is Isolation and Reliability. I don't want to subject myself or my clients to a shared hosting environment. Isn't this a reasonable request?
I have the budget, but just can't find what I'm looking for. And I don't think I'm asking for the extraordinary for a TRUE RESELLER Package.
Major Points I need:
1. Billing Management Software (WHMCS-clientExec-WHM.AutoPilot-I know I can get it myself, but why not offer it for Resellers?)
2. Merchant Account/Payment Gateway (I know I can get it myself but why not offer it for Resellers?)
3. At least 40gb Disk Space
4. At least 512 RAM burstable to 1024
5. Fantastico
6. RVSkin/RVSite Builder
7. Live Chat Support 24/7 (not the kind that says "leave us a message")
8. Zend and IonCube pre-installed
9. CPU share at least 30%
10. DoS protection, Firewall APF, IPTables, Server Hardening
11. Daily off server or off site backups
12. Zend and Ioncube installed
13. SSL (free install?)
14. cPanel/WHM (ALL the stuff that comes with it)
15. RoundCube webmail
16. Guaranteed 99.9% Uptime
If you cannot offer ALL of this on a VPS, please don't bother posting. I don't care too much for a bunch of "add-on" pricing either, can you just give me one price.
If you offer a Reseller Package without billing management software and a merchant account it is NOT a COMPLETE RESELLER PACKAGE. How am I supposed to sell hosting without these?
I currently have a shared Windows hosting package, and my developer has recently requested access to IIS. However, according to the FAQ's of my hosting provider (1&1) this is only possible with a dedicated server - via Remote Desktop.
Is there a basic reason for IIS to be inaccessible on a shared package or is this a limitation of this particular hosting company?
I have a VPS and a shared hosting package with another company.
I would like it, so if the VPS goes down it send all visitors to the shared hosting package where they see a standard message.
How do I do this?
Who can supply me with this DNS services?
I'm trying to select a proper hosting package for the site I'm going to build.
Eventually, I expect 2000 - 5000 users, and it will have a message board. How much disk space (generally) should I go for?
What do you think of www.1and1.co.uk as they are now? I know recently they've had a blotched time, but have they improved?
I need a UK host and they have reasonable prices.
If you are deploying PHP and MySQL along with a site/application, how do you do it? Do you work with the individual components, or do you lean towards ready-made packages?
I use WAMP to develop my applications, and I find it a very simple yet powerful tool for deploying Apache, MySQL and PHP to Windows platforms. I've been looking at the Zend Server today too, which strikes me as very interesting, especially the full version.
