When Did Companies Start Offering SSD's
Oct 13, 2008I just stumbled upon LiquidWeb offering SSD's, are they the first to do so?

How many companies have you come across that offer different dc location? Does it make their offer more attractive for their potential clients?
Marblehost.com offer you to choose between GB and USA location? Or am I misreading their post as it seems unbelievable...

I have a small VPS with Serverways and to be honest I have had no problems with it for a week or so - suprising when you see the spec!
My question is - are there any other providers around the globe (looking for VPS servers all over the place) that would sell me a VPS with the following specs:
CPU 100MHZ
100 MB RAM
10GB SATA (Could probably do with less if needed)
No control panel
100GB Bandwidth on- 100mbps port.
4.90 USD
UnManaged
Went to go through Precision Effect's site earlier and noticed they're offering "Cloud" hosting?

Now i am thinking of using PHP for this but I am not sure how will I setup the server (webhost) .. should I recommend him to go with dedicated server? Since he wants to limit the space for each user how can that be done?
My [new] host doesn't offer custom DNS records. Obviously, this upsets me somewhat as I need some custom DNS records (mainly A Records).
Would this be possible:
I've got a few servers with SoftLayer. If I pointed my domain to SoftLayer's nameservers and handled the DNS there, could I simply forward everything to their servers from SoftLayer's "Manage DNS" (such as www, mail, ftp, etc), then create the custom DNS myself? Would this work?
Hope that's clear enough to understand!
If not, is there another possible work-around? I need custom A Records!
FastHosts is offering unlimited bandwidth, is this for real?

I did like the features of hivemail so if there is anything similar then please recommend I will continue my search and let you know what I have found ifI find anything.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of forming a web development business and am currently interested in learning the various methods of offering 3rd party services and accounts. How to offer hosting is my current dilemma; I can of course refer the client to a host and receive a referral kick-back, but the idea of reselling hosting accounts is also appealing, though I have no knowledge currently as to how this works, and I'm basically just curious how other's manage this aspect of the business. I do not mind offering customer service on hosting accounts, so this is not an issue

Do you know any other DC which offering the same automation feature?
Not sure if there was similar thread earlier. But just want to find out hosts which offer shared hosting and have their own DCs. The ones I know are:
Pair
FutrueQuest
LiquidWeb

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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAre there any web designers/developers who offer hosting to their clients as part of their website creation package. I am toying with the idea of only creating websites for people who host with me. I currently have a colo server, but only use it for personal things. So I have no experience with the needs and demands of clients in regards to hosting. What are some of your experiences with hosting for clients? Is it worth it?

I use Pingdom "Pro" (or whatever the paid version is to be branded as), and I think it is fantastic. It is yet to let us down or misinform us. It'll be interesting to see whether we see quality dilution from the inevitable rush of freebie accounts.
I have read many on this forum express that people should avoid providers offering unlimited space and transfer.

i came here to know what is running behind my share hosting or any share hosting and also please tell me what is dedicated server requirement, i mean what hardware, software and connection needed to make a dedicated server?
Any one know of a place offering dedicated servers with VT Technology enabled?
Any one know of a place offering dedicated servers with VT Technology enabled in the bios (and cpu that supports VT), so I can create Xen VPS's on it?
After some experimenting with Linux VPS setups, I'm eager to explore windows VPS software.
Two questions I guess, first off, what is the cheapest method of offering multiple VPS accounts on a windows server? Are there any free or build in Microsoft methods?
Second, what is the easiest way of doing so? (Simple setup, as hands off as possible)
I realize the cheapest may not be the easiest and vice versa. I'm downloading Parrallels Virtuozzo trial right now, but would like to learn what else is out there.
With a competitive price, comparable to Google Apps Pro Edition.
In my opinion is a very good product, http://tinyurl.com/68d9h5
that unfortunately I can't resell yet
I still think that Scalix and Zimbra provide a better -final user- experience that Open-Xchange but in business, speed is a must, and having a product before a competition is a competitive edge. You can't keep waiting a company forever.
BTW, Just wanted to take advantage to comment how poor and oldie look the webmail interfaces, we hosting providers provide to our users. With the exception of Windows Email systems and Roundcube, most control panels come with Squirrelmail and Horde, look old. They are good and stable but they are and look good.
Some days ago, I got a new customer and after I gave him the login info for their Cpanel 11 account and webmail, he told me:
"..I don't like the webmail.. I use Yahoo email all the time, and it is easy to use. Squirrel looks simple, but it is "ugly"..."
I must admit, that I felt embarrased.
What did I finally do with him? Configured Google Apps for free for him. Now he is happy. But I am thinking is that if I start to find more customers like this, my business will end up in charging for configuring "nice webmails..."
I need some real multidomain shared hosting accounts (ie DirectAdmin, Hsphere, or cPanel only with WHM access because no way I am going to use add-on domains), with support for 4 domain names, 1GB disk space, 40gb multihomed bandwith, fast mysql server with at least 6databases.
My budget is less than 30US$/mo/account, and i need both PHP5 and Mysql 5.
Now this would seem pretty regular requirements.
The fact is I would like to get some of these accounts in not-so-popular locations for an application I am developing and some tests I will do, etc.
The California/Chicago/Dallas/NewYork part was quite easy, indeed ...
Now I am looking for some decent webhosting companies co-locating in :
- Upper West USA (any amongst Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, etc)
- Colorado (ie, Denver)
- Kansas
- Vienna,McLeod corner in VA, or at the very least maybe Asburn,VA
- Toronto, Canada
If you are a web hoster and you colocate in some of these places please anwer: I don't think a simple message like "We are amongst the hosting companies located in XYZ" without reference to plans, price or promotions would be considered self-advertising in any way and is far better, useful and more informative than writing a post like "look at the advertising section, I am sure you will find some", because trust me I am searching till hours and I dind't find any:
what are the companies using liquidweb's datacenter?
View 14 Replies View RelatedFirst one i tried was Implux.net and after a year or so started getting a lot of skipping/buffering problems with the streams.
I'm now with Serverroom.us but cannot stand the software they use CentovaCast or at least don't like the setup they use.
Found some in WHT ads forum, provide 800 GB space and 8000GB bankwitch. Other companies are similar offer. I talked with them, and ask: "Do you really provide 800 GB space?" they replied, yes.
Then I told them I am going to order. I have a 600GB sized website want to move into it and planed finish moving in 3 weeks to 1 month, then they just left me there, never had one word, so frustrating.
Asked a few more, and got similar result.
Are they real companies with real ads? If not, Why WHT allow false ads listed in there and waste us time.
What are some good monitoring companies that can keep track of downtime. Even more specifically looking for companies that can send an sms alert or possibly reboot the server following ceartin instructions during a downtime.
Though please provide all suggestion (even if they don't do the above).
I own a IT/Computer related blog site & community right now. I have plans to contact the top 25-50 hosting companies posing as a potential new client. I plan ask questions similar to the following and publish it on my blog. (This project will be geared towards shared hosting only, on low to mid sized budgets.
1.) What are the exact specs of the shared servers you are using? Smp, Uni processors? What are the manufactures of this hardware?
2.) How many clients are added to a server before it's considered 'Full'? If your company doesn't use this method, then what is the average I/O, CPU, & Memory usage on a full server in the opinion of your company for shared hosting?
3.) What is your mass email policy? Emails per hour?
4.) Where is the physical location of your companies shared servers in regards to country, city, and state?
5.) Are you a Reseller? If so, with whom do you resell for?
6.) Physical location of Technical Support?
7.) What is the average wait time for a Technical Support ticket submission during server peek hours for your company?
8.) Do you currently have a link of client testimonials that includes URL's to the
clients website?
Do you think publishing this information to be public for each host would be illegal, imoral, or disrespectful in anyway? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions as far as questions that are usually not disclosed on hosts website in regards to shared hosting?
Anyone know of a listing of hosting companies based on the location of their offices? I don’t care where their servers are but I would like to know that I am dealing with a company that is local. (By the way, I live in the northern part of Virginia and I consider metro DC and all of Virginia to be local.)
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using Bluehost to run some of my clients web sites. Nothing with huge traffic or sophistication, but good uptime is a requirement.
I used to use webfusion, but they were expensive and unreliable, and their support was bad. I migrated all of my sites to Bluehost, at considerable expense in terms of billed time.
At the moment, the server I am running on has been down for 16 hours with a projected further 12 hours to restore. I find this unacceptable.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could sign up to two shared hosting providers, but manage the DNS in such a way I can switch between the two?
Sort of a crude co-location (my clients aren't in the market for high end services). Having been burnt more than twice -I don't want to trust just one company.
I still have some NT 4s and Windows 2000 servers out there. My main issues are these are very very old clients who will not want to move, either their programmers had long disappeared or they just had an attachment to their old servers.
Now what should I do with these? Or rather what do you guys facing similar issues deal with this? Migrate these old contented clients and risk breaking something or just leave it as it is?
Could you point me in any direction for VPSs as far as reputable companies? I really don't know where to start looking for a VPS. Managed by the way.
