Which CDN Provider
May 8, 2009
i am considering moving over from a dedicated server to a VPS solution, but host files via a CDN provider.
Can people give me their experiences of CDN providers please.
In particular i am looking at:
The prices they are paying
The quality of their bandwidth
The speeds they are getting (average)
Is your provider a reseller of another
Am looking to make available a variety of files from PNG, PSD, Vector and ISO files. Some of the files are as big as 10GB in size. I know some providers only manage certain file types.

I got a VPS, I have
ns1.mydomain.com 123.123.123
ns2.mydomain.com 123.123.124
For all my sites I used the first Ip until recently I tried to use the second ip for a particular site
Every thing went alright, I thought my site with second ip is working until yesterday I received a Call from India and the guy told me that he could not view my website because he got some thing like Network error DNS failed
I checked my site it was loading, I asked my provider and he says nothing is wrong and he can view my site
I checked
[url]
I got this Error
ERROR: Although you have at least 2 NS records, they both point to the same server, resulting in a single point of failure. You are required to have at least 2 nameservers per RFC 1035 section 2.2.
I talked with my provide but the response was this
''''''''''
This message will show up always when dnsstuff is able to detect that both nameserver names are pointing to the same physical system. This message doesn't affect connectivity and/or performance.
'''''''''''''''''''
Do I have two IPS or One IP Is this a common practice? I do not want to feel suspisious of the host and those guys are nice and supportive

I've been having a rough morning with my hosting.
They're claiming that the problem is with the upstream provider.
So I had a question for all you smarter than a 5th grader guys.
When there's a problem with the upstream provider, shouldn't all my IPs go down?
I have a /24 with hosted with these guys, but some IPs are up while others keep going up/down.

I've been thinking about getting a dedicated server in the EU, as the UK is just to expensive to rent a dedicated server.
I've read reviews of the two hosts I found on the net (OVH and 1&1) and none were all that favourable. (Especially 1&1 heh)
anyone recommend some alternative EU providers? or perhaps any reasonable priced UK services?

Has anyone else here experienced terrible support responses.
Over a week ago I submitted a request to resubmit new CSR requests for 2 SSL certificates. I've ended up emailing 2 departments and trying to phone for a response.
When I phone the only response I've ever had is an answering message saying leave a message or email for a faster response!
The only email response I've ever had is a single reply saying I need to email a different department and a request has been forwarded to the correct department.
I aprreciate these are budget products but this is a dreadful support level and I'm seriously thinking I'll never purchase any of this company's products again, what if I purchase on a clients behalf, delays like this arent going to look good at all. I also appreciate its a seasonal period but come on, over a week!

I have a budget of around $400/m for a Dedicated Servers in LA. I Understand there are a lot of options but I was hoping you guys could point me in the correct direction for the best global connectivity. Im assuming since LA is so diverse in its x connects there should be one provider out there with outstanding bandwidth and a lot of connects to different providers.

I have been researching the vps market for a month or so now and have started to compile a list of questions to put to vps providers who get short listed. I would love some contributions!
1) What is the cpu and how is cpu capacity distributed, by account number limits, by assigning a certain number of mhz, is the asisgned capcity burstable?
2) ram is usually clearly advertised but who scalable is it? Can you add just extra ram or do you need to upgrade to the next package. Is it burstable and with what constraints.
3) are there any limits for the number of processes (shared hosting providers may limit processes to only a few, 15 for instance before terminating them). This isnt advertsised but need to be answered for dynamic sites with high traffic.
4) Number of simaltanious connections, both from individual Ips to the sites/account or to pop3 accounts. If the pop3 account sim con is low its will be annoying when trying to donwlaod email from several of your sites at the same time....attempts after the X number will fail.
5) Will your account have assigned bandwidth or will you just be sharing whatever connection 10/100mbps with the other uses on the server. This isnt such a big deal as a lot of servers will be streched to output 100mbps of data. If the connection is a 10mbps one then its much more important.
6) if you're used to a certain type of control panel make sure they have it and at what possible extra cost.
7) Check their terms and conditions for liability regards lost data. I chose a hosting company beofre because of their superior back up system, turns out they didnt use it and I lost 5 weeks of data (about $4000 loss for me). Their t & C avioded libility for any losses inspite of the fact that they advertises the b/u facility as a special feature.
8) quiz them on "Monitoring" and "Management". Us hosting novices may see these as the same thing but hosting companies do not. Monitoring is knowing that something is wrong, management is doing something about it. Many vps providers advertise full management but wait to be asked to fix problems that could have been lossing you money for days till one of your kind users lets you know.
9) What is their infrastructure...power, location, connectivity redundency like (ie how many T1,2 or 3 do they have and is that enough).
10) Support. Is it in house or outsourced....the later is bad as they are usually given little power to do anything and you have to wait longer for an inhouse guy to get off his lazy boy.
11) Do they limit the number of emails per period (ie like 500 per hour). This wont affect some but for those of us who have large memberships to send newsletters to this is a non starter.

I am currently on shared hosting (i will not mention who with) however since I have been with them my site has been down about 4 times. The good thing is my site hadnt launched it was just a placeholder page so nothing critical.
Due to the above issues, I think i might want to get a VPS, it is essential there is no downtime, its a new site and I dont want our reputation to suffer due to downtime.

There are plenty of people searching the hosting provider. Below article for them.
At the time of selection of hosting provider, you need to consider some of the points like below:
1) Server speed is the best or not? For that you can ask to hosting provider that they can able to give demo account and if yes then check your requirement with that and then purchase.
2) How much space do you require and how much money are you spending. For this you need to search the cheapest and reliable hosting provide.
3) How much bandwidth, database, Email account, ftp account, Support are considerable.
4) If developer need to use joomla and other tool then you need to clarify your specific requirement for the same
Let us know if you like to know more about hosting provider.

We have decided to move our current provider because their payment processor problems. They can't charge my credit card directly and wanting to get from PayPal. And paypal is not allowing my country to pay directly but after registering.. We have also registered to Paypal and now there are problems with sending money limits even account is active and verified (card added + verified)
I am really tired of getting suspended while we have money but can't pay. Other payment ways don't fit to me because bank transfers get too high commissions, moneybookers says my limit is 200 euro per 60 days (very low for me)
Are there any providers you know in Netherlands that will give us servers ~80 euros (2gb ram, xeon cpu and 4-5 TB bandwidth) We have 10 servers currently but if these problems didn't occur, we would move all our services to them and get around 30 servers.
By the way my provider's name is E*catel. I love their services, network rocks and support but this problem is forcing me to do this.

I am on a shared hosting right now with ASO, and I have 4 sites, 1 being a vB forum w/ 2k members. My forum keeps having time-outs and errors, daily, all the time. I talked with the host and they said that with a forum that size, I shouldn't be on a shared. However, I only need about 25GB bw and 500MB-1G of diskspace. I know a VPS will provide a lot more than that, but I want to move to something that will have no timeouts, and no constant errors. I was thinking of simply upgrading to the VPS that asmallorange offers, but after reading the reviews, they said the $50 package (the smallest package) was way overrated. As much as I'd hate to have to move to a new host, can anyone suggest a good hosting for VPS that isn't too expensive (no more than $50/month)? Or anyone who is on/has used a VPS at ASO, what the uptime was, and if it was worth it.

I'm currently split between vpslink, slidehost, wowvps, swvps, tektonic, linode
My requirements are
1) Must be Xen based. No Virtuozzo or OpenVZ.
2) Min 512MB
3) Budget: USD 30-40/mth
4) Unmanaged is fine as long as I have a control panel (Cpanel, Lxadmin are ok)
Tektonic meets all of the above except 1.
Linode, Slidehost meets all of the above except 4.
So i'm left with with vpslink, wowvps or swvps.
Which one should I choose? I'm leaning towards VPSlink.
Is there any other good Xen-based VPS providers that i should be considering?

if there should be a "provider blacklist".
There are some companies whose reviews are mostly bad, and its not just one but many.
Some examples :
- SurfSpeedy
- BuyAVPS
It should steer new users from these companies as it will leave them negative impressions of an otherwise good sector of the hosting market.
Of course, these should be backed up by evidence.

so after 16 months using vps servers i thing i have it all cleared up. There is no such thing as the 10/10-allmighty-everything-is-so-good provider it all depends in what are you OK with.
Now t3h facts, what i care about a provider is
- Price
- Performance
- Uptime-AKA-Reliability
- Provided Resources
I've been with 4 different providers (SolarVPS, Knownhost, JarguarPC, FutureHosting)
I will not do a long review but i will tell you some facts of my experience with them.
I started with SolarVPS (Mercury Plan 256MB-384MB-10G-200G-Cpanel-unmanaged-33.75), i started having a lot of problems, black zone alerts every day most of the time, bad performance, the server felt really slow, but after many months in the vps market i think it was because 256MB with Cpanel don’t play well, specially if you have a busy forum that needs many apache childs and lots of mysql usage. After 1 months using it i jumped off the ship to Knownhost. I started blaming SolarVPS but then i realized it was because 256MB weren't enough for my need. So i can't really talk about them, only 3 weeks but i don't think ill be going back , maybe providers shouldn’t offer Cpanel with 256MB systems.
Then the Knownhost Experience (384M-768M-10G-175G-Plesk-semimanaged-42.50), Now after a bad first experience I wanted to go back to shared, but seeing a lot of good reviews about a starter company at that time, I decided to go with them, I used them for 11 months, I can tell you they are reliable, they are good priced, but the performance was my problem.
For example running WHT-UnixBench scored like 60-80 on knownhost, and I had problems with mysql, a lot of queries took too much time and I kept having visitors to the point that apache always reaches the server limit and mysql just wasn’t ready to give the results, so the server also reached the memory limits and virtuozzo killed some services and all that, to the point that just wasn’t ok with it so I started looking where to move. If you need some reliable service, looking closer to that 99.999% uptime and don’t have too much of that resource intensive sites, then imho knownhost is your choice.
I do not know that much of Microprocessors but what I hear is that at this time Intel is really better than AMD, but knownhost stays with AMD for many reasons im sure, I just think that the servers would be a lot faster if they were using Xeons instead of Opterons, but once again I’m not 100% sure
Ok now this is where JaguarPC comes into play, when I was looking for the new provider I find out that Jag was running an awesome deal, if i was moving from another provider they will give me 2 months free, and a lot of specials ->(384MB-1G-30G-450G-fully-managed-Plesk-33.50) <- , so that looked like a really really good deal, I did not hesitate and signed up quite fast.
Started up really bad, when they servers were badly configured so they had to restart the entire node to fix settings many times, virtuozzo was going crazy killing processes and all that, but they fixed it and after 5 months with them everything is really good, then only problem is the reliability-uptime, I can’t get above 99.89%, they have many downtimes, call it “fixing settings”, call it “patching kernel”, call it “getting better”, still it is a downtime, it is a client calling you cause they cant access the mail, or something like that. (BTW im monitoring the server with host tracker).
So why am I staying with them? , because I get a better Prices $$$ , I get more resources, and at this moment my business does not require 99.999% , im ok with 99.9% uptime, and also my sites works really faster, mysql handles the load like a champ. But if they could increase the uptime they will be the closer to 10/10.
If you noticed I didn’t mention futurehosting its because I use them for small experiments, like lighttpd, server administration, as backup server, and other administration learning related tasks. But the servers works really good, im using the Chicago DC and getting better latency than Texas
I hope some day I will use futurehosting more and give a proper review, right now im using the 384MB_SLM-10G-200GB-NoPanel-20$ , everything looks quite good but running unixbench scored less than jaguarpc.
Its just a matter of what you need, and what are you OK, im a student and give hosting to friends and family, I have my own forum that gets many visitors and it is really database intensive, so at this moment im staying with jaguarpc and hope to continue that way
