I currently have a small hosting plan (4 gb traffic , 400 Mb space) that I use for a few email accounts from my company.However , the disk space is not enough for what we need so I have to move the emails to another hosting plan. I'm looking for something with 5-10 gb space , 10-20 gb traffic/month , unlimited email accounts. I'm not looking for it to be cheap , just dont like the overselling idea for my hosting needs so I can pay if it's good. Also I was wondering what kind of program do I need in order to create a webmail interface so that the employees could check their email without having to use the webmail clients from cPanel.
I like to create some service plans using the cli-tools, /usr/local/psa/bin/service_plan.I am able to create a service plan, but I'm unable to create a service plan inside a reseller plan. For example I cannot "tell" the service_plan script to add the created serviceplan to a reseller plan. Is it possible to create a serviceplan inside a reseller plan, using the cli?
We read a large number of reviews and ratings before deciding on whom to go with for our VPS. In particular, the good marks for helpful technical support by SLHost staff as recommended by various posters here led us to go with them.
We paid six months in advance on February 12.
Unfortunately, it has been a nightmare. A few days after we signed up and went through the arduous process of moving data and reconfiguring the sites after the move, which consumed a total of 24 hours or so in 7 days, all was well until we ran into what apparently is a network problem. It remains and has gotten worse. We'll be leaving as soon as we find a new VPS host.
Whether a victim of their own success (perhaps they're too busy to look into things for us) or that they were simply overrated, the tech support is somewhat terse and when it came to a real problem, we were completely ignored. The issue is that the sites are unreachable and incredibly slow for 10-30 minute stretches, beginning during US nighttime from 10 p.m. - 2 a.m. Pacific. After about a week and countless more emails sent and received between their tech support, it began happening during the daytimes too. Tech support insists that there is nothing they can do, but it is exclusively our sites that we can't contact, and that goes for our users as well. They have said unless we have our site's users (who aren't computer technically proficient people and are very confused when we try to give them instructions on how to run a traceroute) run traceroutes as well, they don't have enough evidence there is a problem. This, despite the fact that there is a large discussion about it with various users from around the globe reporting the problem alongside their location. I linked them to this, and they dismissed it.
I advised them I would be making a report of my extremely poor experience with their services on this website. They dismissed that too. They are either overwhelmed, or it is what it appears to be: they simply couldn't care less.
I've been using SLHOST.com for a couple of years, and they used to have great VPS service. My server was always up (I'm not a power user, I just host some small business websites for clients of my web design company - nothing that gets a lot of traffic or puts a strain on the server).
They recently moved locations, and I've had nothing but problems. They somehow screwed up the IP and DNS of the server. My (and my clients sites) couldn't be accessed for over a week! Support kept telling me that there was no problem, unti I proved to them that the DNS wasn't right. I didn't have any email during this period, and either did my clients.
Since then, AT LEAST one of the services on the server randomly stops working (the two big ones are DNS and STMP) a couple of times a day. I don't receive error messages (I know because my clients call me screaming why their email isn't working AGAIN).
As a web design company, I've lost reputability. As a professional affiliate marketer, I have literally lost over a thousand dollars because of the downtime. Every time I contact support, they restart the services and tell me there's no problem with the server (which is obiously not true).
Any suggestions from other webhostingtalk users on how to get better service and a credit from SLHOST.com? I'm not technical and I need a VPS that just simply works.
I recently started monitoring my server 2 days ago with hyperspin. I can post my support emails here as proof and verification that these problems are occuring multiple times a day.
I moved to SLHost some time around January. The first couple of months were okay. However, the last two months have been hellish. This month alone the server was down June 1, 3, 4, 16 (for 13 hours) and, again, today.
anyone else having the same experience with SLHost?
We are experiencing some blacklisting with our current provider, through no fault of our own, and we are evaluating some other alternatives for our very modest website. Do any of you have experience with these firms? Happy to keep your comments confidential if you email me individually.
I moved from shared host to VPS a few days back. Since the move, the site becomes slow during particular time of the day. It appeared to be an issue of cron run by their another client and after promising that they would move that client to another node (I have spent more than 25 days to follow up on this till now) they backed off from their words but informed me about an alternative. Now, they say that the cron of that client was executing many scripts and they have spaced those scripts.
I am looking for a long-term host and was wondering:
1. VPS provides a minimum guaranteed stuff so what is the use of that guarantee if one client can make the server crawl (imagine 5 minutes or more to open a site).
2. Can a host be trusted who does not honour words.
I have had a shared account with Lunarpages since early July.
Positives: Of the different webhosts I have used, they seem to keep php, and other software the most up to date (on the elara server). A webhost that uses older versions of software that have security issues makes me nervous. Another positive of Lunarpages was the free "Coffeecup" software. Negatives: I really wanted to like Lunarpages when i signed up with them. Of all the hosts I have used in the last few years, the Lunarpages server I'm currently on is down the most. In fact, I currently use my space there just for testing out software (like Joomla) and setting up demos for my current web design clients to learn on (they can learn on the demos as opposed to messing up their live sites!). The server generally has some issue at least ever couple of days were the site is unreachable (either a hight server load and everything times out) or some other issues....
I saw this ad url webhost4life.com/linux199.asp on google. It's a $1.99 month deal with 2000gb of space, 20,000gb of bandwidth and unlimited domain names. Anyone used this service? I want to sign up but want to see if anyone used first to get some extra info.
I run 4 Joomla sites and each sites get these amount of visitors per day.
Joomla 1- 1500 Per day Joomla 2- 400 Per day Joomla 3- 1300 Per Day Joomla 4- 4000 Per day
Here are my current server spec
-256 MB RAM -10GB Space -200GB Premium Bandwidth (Level3/internap) -cPanel/WHM full root access
I am very concerned about my page loading speed. Is the 256 MB Ram enough for these 4 Joomla sites or should I upgrade to a low end dedicated server with 1 GB Ram atleast?
I am searching hosting plans. I found 1&1 Beginner hosting plan for £2.99/year of 1and1Uk at dealsofuk.com.
I want your review about that site and the plan & facilities. Also suggest me any good hosting plan (if you have) in this price range and its facilities.
my web is laschicasdelgordo.com.ar and have aprox 10 gb of bandwith for a day. the other problem is the speed.. in argentina have good speedy but in USA or SPAIN is very slowly. the thing is i dont have too much money for pay a dedicated server.. and in Argentina de hosting plans are very expensive and slowly.. but i dont know american hosting.
well.. i need this
1- accept adult content 2- price $30 -$ 50 for month 3- 500 or more bandwith 4- 256-512 ram 5- cpanel 6- 5 - 10 gb hard disk 7- celeron 2200 or more
I did some quick live chat sessions with them just to see how far this "unlimited" really goes. Here's what I got:
-Maximum of 8 simultaneous IMAP connections -Maximum of 40 simultaneous PHP connections -Maximum of 60 simultaneous MySQL connections -Maximum of 400 simultaneous HTTP connections -Maximum of 8 simultaneous FTP connections
I just found that kind of funny and thought I'd share it with y'all.
It basically just sums up what y'all have been saying all along:
If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
I have already HIT my head on the wall for signing up for a reseller plan that was "Linux" and now I have a client that need a ASP.net site and I need to get a new reseller.
I am trying to make a decision on switching from my current VPS hosting to a dedicated solution. If I rent the server in the next 24 hours from Theplanet, I can get a Celeron 2.0+ with 1GB of ram and an 80GB hd for $74/month (plus $25 setup). $15/month of that is for doubling the ram to 512MB, so I could get the same without that for $59/month.
Comparisons: VPS: 2 1.6Mhz Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processor 2210 HE's, I don't know how many people share that Dedi: Celeron 2.0, all mine. (and yes, I know that is potentially a bit of a downgrade)
VPS: 512MB ram and 1024MB swap Dedi: 1024MB ram (guessing I set my own swap size?)
VPS: 25GB allocated space Dedi: 80GB hd
VPS: 1.5Mbps connection Dedi: 10Mbps connection
VPS: CP+ control panel Dedi: None included (could install Webmin myself, which is free, never used it before though)
VPS: Their DNS servers Dedi: Need to use my own
So basically the parts I don't know the difference between would be the processor, the control panel, and what the performance impact on running primary and secondary DNS servers on the same box as the webserver. Anyone have any feedback on those points?
Separate question... assuming I go for it, what would be the deciding factors on OS, if the choices were CentOS 4.x, CentOS 5.x, FreeBSD 6.3, or FreeBSD 7.0?
I found this site with 6.95 hosting a while back and had it saved in my fav... but my comp crashed god forbid and I had to format now I lost it...
The site had something rediculous like 3GB space and 5-10GB bandwidth... there was a $30 setup fee but it was 6.95 after that... Anyone know of this site? or anything that tops it?
Also the part I liked most was that they accepted paypal... Which was simply amazing for me.
We are thinking about updating our reseller plan offerings. I would really appreciate any input on what features, resources, services and scripts you would like to see in a good reseller plan.
I’m thinking about adding a free WHMCS billing as an option, RvSite Pro available for all accounts …
I registered a domain with the godaddy.com. I also have a free web hosting plan attached to it. Now i purchased(not upgraded) a new web hosting plan(economy plan.). Now I want to attach my domain with the new hosting plan. But the godaddy is not allowing me to do so.
we are looking for a suggestion on a best practice to help a customer recover from being hacked. One thought is that the client should be put on a new server and allowed to rebuild from there. The concern is that there are so many web app breaches that the server often gets rehacked because the bad code is still in the web app.
