All I have is a big forum to host and I dont have much time to manage it - so a managed server is preferred. I also want cPanel on it.
futurehosting.biz really appealed to me but I was wondering if there was anything better, in terms of storage, bandwidth and RAM (also CPU, i dont know how much futurehosting give).
I would prefer if they had some kind of 24/7 live chat.
Whats ur take on Wired Tree folks, shall i jump the ship and provide them with utter bunny mayhem (cause i am known to be intolerably insane when my server is down). How is their overall support, and network and performance ? Anyone current got "Server" from them who would like to throw some light on their performance and services ?

I have been with Blue Virtual (bluevirtual.com) for many years, since the Communitech days. However, the service these past few weeks has gone downhill big time.
The BV forums are dead, the webhosting is up and down like a yoyo, mail is intermittent.
Not just me but fellow users are experiencing the same.
Support tickets are going unanswered (accounts & tech. support).

We have most of the infrastructure planning and layout done but were still early on in the construction phase so now is the last chance to get some input. I have two main questions I wanted to ask.
1)When your looking for a colocation facility what things are most important to you?
2)Have you ever wished that datacenters offered something outside the normal things that most providers do.

I mean if the web server fails it doesnt do any good if you have 10 DNS servers. The only time it makes sense to me to run multiple DNS servers is if your DNS server is a piece of junk, and always goes down, which honestly doesnt happen that much.

My website suspended by a hosting service provider they told me that I try to send some spamming emails, the details about my website it's very small with 282 users (before suspended) I used phpBB version 2 and send news to users with phpBB send mail function. Frequency of sending is not more than 2 times a month and not every month.
I've already contacted the hosting provider they didn't help anything just say "Hold on" for 1 day a ago.
I've signed up with Wiredtree for a Managed VPS 12 days ago.
I know it's not enough time to write a review. But I decided to write my first impression then keep you updated by writing a new review at the end of each month, so expect one at 12 February.
For now, these guys are simply the best I've tried.
They reply you in 15 minutes or less and if it took them more, 20 minutes or something, then be sure that they're investigating your problem. If you can't wait for 15 minutes, then go ahead and give them a call on their toll-free number and they'll be with you second by second. Their support wont just solve your problem, but they'll educate you telling you what caused the problem and how did they fix it.
I'm solicitous about security. But with these guys, I finally sleep peacefully knowing that my VPS is well secured.

Been reading in and comparing alot of different hosting companies during the last couple of days. One company has now got my attentioned a little more compared to many others and that is MM Hosting.
Been googeling and searching around alot to get some existing custommer feedback. Whats interessting is that I can't find much about it, nor bad, nor good. I found mostly adds etc and various "review sites".
So I hope to find some active custommers in here.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIts been little more than a month since i moved my server from therobberz (aka theplanet,after 3 years of service) to webnx.
i reached a point where 145 dollars for a p 4 2.4,1 GB,80 GB,10 mbps was way too much.tried talking with tp reps a few times to see if i could get a better deal.the cheapest quad core they had was around 200 USD ( including cpanel)
the order was placed on a friday afternoon.i was expecting the order to be processed on monday as sales and billing would be off the weekend.saturday night,a tech support guy processed my order and i got the payment confirmation late saturday night.
my server came online on monday morning.it has been very good for the last 41 days.
so much for the nincompoops at tp who told me that moving a server from tp another "unknown" provider would be catastrophic.wonder why their reps keep saying they are the biggest provider out there and no one can match their level of service.in my opinion,tp is pure evil.

I originally signed up with Geekstorage in November with one of their specials. They got me hooked with the "Geek" theme they had, thinking these guys know what they are doing and that was first mistake.
I signed up for the VPS 512 for $55/month, which was decent but not an amazing deal.
This was the special:
The VPS 512 includes...
* 40 GB NAS & RAID Protected Storage (50% more... 60 GB Storage!)
* 400 GB Premium Bandwidth (50% more... 600 GB Premium Bandwidth!)
* 512 MB Guaranteed RAM (FREE Upgrade... 640 MB Guaranteed RAM)
* 1,536 MB Burstable RAM
* Only $55.00/month (Get 50% OFF your first invoice! Use coupon: WHT50MORE)
Since the beginning, my VPS was slow, but they kept telling me that their on and getting it fixed. The server was fast one day and really slow the next and it still is til today. And when I say really slow, I mean really slow; cpanel would take over a min to load, and sometimes I would finish typing up a support ticket before it finished loading. Now as far as support, at first they were very responsive (at least when you're within their 60 days money back guarantee), within 20-30 mins tops. Then after they 60 days, it went to 60 mins, then 2 hours, you get the idea.
I'm a very patient person, and they gave them several months to fix the server issue but that still was not the reason I canceled. I purchased a domain from Godaddy and when I changed the nameserver to our vps, the site was propagated for a couple of hours and then unpropagated, then in the morning was propagated, and then unpropagated. This was the first time that I have had this happen. So I put in support to check to see what was going on, and the support gave me a canned answer, it take 24-72 hours to propagated, but that was not what I was asking, in fact I even mentioned in the ticket from the beginning I know that it takes 24-72 hours. I then asked them again as to what was going on and again he responded with the same answer. So being a little fed up with this, I decided to changed the nameserver to my friends server to see what happens and long and behold within 3 hours everything was up.
Now, I not blaming them for what was going on with the nameserver issue, but it's when I responded back to them that it's working on my friends server and not on mine, they straight out said that I should of provided the domain name and tried to pin it on me.
Again, I don't disagree with that but how was i supposed to know support wanted the domain name, when they didn't even ask for it, which they had a couple of times to do so. And after mentioning that to them, all they could say is if they could cancel my account, that's a great why of saying thank you for your business.
Bottom line, being a paid customer and tech trying to put blame on customers, isnt my definition of customer service. Not professional and bad for business
Pros: Ok price package, but not great
Cons: Bad support, live chat that's never online, a phone number to call that always goes to voicemail, really slow server
After several hours of reading reviews and comparing hosting companies, I narrowed it down to Knownhost and Servint. I ended up going with Servint and I'm extremely happy with the support, price and speed of hosting.
I went with the essential VPS:
30 GB Disk Space
1 TB Monthly Transfer
768 MB Guaranteed (1.5 GB Burst RAM)
CentOS 5 Operating System
4 IP Addresses
Unlimited Domains and User Accounts
FREE Virtuozzo Power Panel
FREE nightly backups
FREE cPanel or Plesk 9 Available [details]
No set-up fee
$49 monthly
I can say my site loaded 10-20 times faster than it did with Geekstorage and their support is amazing, you can email, call or support ticket. They respond to support tickets normal within 10 mins and most of the time less than 5.
Compared to Geekstorage, I get better support, really fast servers, and more bandwidth. Also, I after I switched to Servint, I put in a request to have my hosting canceled, but didnt get any kind of confirmation saying they received it or anything. I put in a support ticket to billing asking if they received it but no response. Then I put in a regular support ticket asking the same thing, no response. Now, it's almost two days since I put the tickets in, I decided to put a post in their forum, and soon as I register and was waiting for admin approval from admin to be able to post, I get an email from Jay saying that they are in the process.
Btw, with Servint same thing happened with another domain, but the difference between Geekstorage and Servint was ... Servint's first response was "what's the sites address?" instead of a canned answer.
I've been using MediaTemple's Grid-Service for a few months now, and it has proven to be very unstable at times, with frequent downtime and slow servers. I've decided to step it up to a VPS and am looking for a very reliable and fast VPS available for under $30 / month.
I've taken a look at Zone.net, VPSLink, Steadcom, JaguarPC, and Future Hosting so far, and I'm trying to figure out which one is the best choice. I'm leaning toward Zone.net, or Steadcom - but if you have any other opinions,
I am new to VPS. I have little more than 4 years experience with shared hosting. I always wanted to switch to VPS but always tentative since VERY EXPENSIVE for me since I wanted fully managed VPS and I couldn't pay more than 30 dollars (including cpanel)...
The reason I wanted to switch to VPS was because I wanted to start my own mailing service (not much but around 500 users).. But no shared hosting would allow me for it.
Otherwise, I was happy with shared hosting with p4host initially and then hostgator.
I was keeping an eyes on KnownHost specials for almost a year but a month ago, I saw 75% discount on signup and 15% lifetime discount. And while I was talking to sales rep, I found this life time would be applicable to my upgrades as well... Wohooo, what I needed more, I gave a try to KnowHost..
They had been very supportive and answer me everything very quickly (I can't say the exact time since I myself login to my mail after 1-2 hours of filing ticket but there reply is there whenever I login). Since I was new to VPS, I had 10s of issues with setup and scripts. But they helped me with everything and never gave me tutorials to look for myself. Few of my issues were as under.
1- Hotmail Smartscreen issue (every new ip face this problem). I had to contact KH support time buy time to setup SPF, send MSN mail telling them IP belongs to me etc etc. KH Support had been magnificent and for a time being I was thinking that they will kick me off since I bug them too much. But they provided support like a pro...
2- Cron Jobs Issues. I am very bad with setting up cron job since computers is not my field (I am medical doctor by profession). They setup the cronjobs for me like setting up a cronjob for automatic mysql database backup. They not only helped with the problems but also give me detail of what they did so that I learn myslef from it. I am very pleased with the way they answer.
3- I wanted to monitor my VPS with loadavg script. They helped me with the installation of that.
4- I wanted to make my own backups using bqbackup.com (though KH provide backups for free) but because I am more tentative about my work. But I was making mistake setting up cron for it. KH support helped me with that.
5- There were other issues I was facing with A entry and other things, KnownHost always welcomed me and sorted my problem quickly.
In short, I am very pleased with KnownHost. Best part of their support is that they helped me with instalation of some major scripts where I make blunders and in a way I get know how to get that thing to work myself..
I hope they continue with the support like they do currently...
About Their server, I find it excellent. During the one month preiod, it just happend thrice that loadavg on my server went > 1 for only a period of one minute which I think best it can get. 5 minutes loadavg reached > 1 only once...
I was going to wait a few more months before writing a review but These guys deserve this and its more of a thank you too them.
Any way a month ago I came across hostsimplex from some ones siggy and so I clicked on it opened live support after looking around a bit and the person I got on live support was supper nice and answered all my questions very politely and professionally not to mention she was very friendly.
Any way because of how good that convo went I sent a Pm to the host simplex account on here and said They had really nice staff. I even told him I might use his hosting for a new site I was about to open.
Any way after a little while and playing with the demo of directadmin I thought well you know what I am just going to set up an account to see more of this direct admin.
So I signed up, I did have an issue with the billing. was told they are switching which billing software they were using. It was not a huge issue, actually I was not charged at all. But I opened live support and got that fixed and they were still very nice, friendly and professional at that time too.
After that was all fixed I set up my new site on my account with them. which is [url].
One issue you may have seen a post about that I had with them was I got blocked do to my ftp program. I do not blame hostsimplex for this issue one bit as it also happened on liquid webs. This did happen twice on host simplex but thats nothing compared to it happening every day for over a week on liquid webs. The issue was caused by me upgrading from KDE 3 to KDE 4.1 which has a new konqueror and it seems to have issues on the ftp side of it.
Any way hostsimplex was still very friendly and professional with this issues even though the first tiem it happened they were really busy and I was not able to get a hold of support for around 3 hours but they apologized and said they are going to higher more people to keep that from happeneing again. The second time this block happened I got some one with in 5 minutes or so of calling them and fixed very quickly.
Any way do to how great support has been and do to my site in my siggy which was hosted at liquid webs went down some time yesterday. I asked if they would move it to thier server and they did and did a very good job about it too.
a small rating thing
Support 5 out of 5 stars
uptime 5 out of 5 stars (Have not seen it down yet but I am not monitoring it 24/7)
This is my 1 month review on the company vt6 (vt6.co.uk). There is no doubt about it, they have the fastest reply times and most helpfull support. I started out on the basic plan and have just paid for the next one, i was upgraded allmost instantly but as i found it was no benfit to me i asked to downgrade and was again instantly downgraded and my money refunded.
As for the quality of the VPS, it is perfect. they dont cramm VPS's onto one server so each VPS runs smooth without any problems. Iv also had no downtime at all. Iv been with a few VPS's before this and none come close to pure quality and fantastic support that vt6 provide.
That is all for my one month review on this perfect company that i would deffinitly recommend to anyone seeking low cost quality VPS's (Or hosting that i assume will be exatcly the same)
