Top VPS Features To Consider
Oct 15, 2007I'm very familiar with shared hosting but VPSs are a whole new ballgame. What are the top things to consider when looking for a VPS plan, just in a general sense? I figured the biggest are:
CPU
RAM
Hard Drive
OS
Control Panel
IPs included
reboots
I know with shared hosting you need pay attention to what is installed, programming, databases, etc. but how essential is that on a VPS? I know this is basic stuff. I'm very new to it, but hope to get a handle on it. Sooner or later, (probably sooner than later) I will want/need to upgrade from shared to VPS. Any other features I should keep in mind while searching?
Most Important VPS Features?
May 12, 2009The market is full of VPS providers with different combinations of features.. some offer huge amounts of ram, bandwidth, managed, unmanaged, etc.. The sheer number of choices is dizzying..
My question is, if you had to pick one feature of a VPS plan that was most important to you, what would it be?
Imap Server Features
Jul 22, 2008We have a customer with problens in his imap service, the connection to the server goes down all the time.
so the questions are:
- there is a time limit to stay connected? we can open a imap section and keep it open all the day?
- is possible to use the same login (use@domain.com) in 3 or more places at the same time?
- is possible that the imap server is with more connections than it can handle?
Exchange Features Becoming Standardized
Jan 10, 2009This has been a topic that has been slowly developing without too much in the way of discussion. Exchange has been the killer email solution now for years - it's integration with Outlook, its sleek webmail and support for mobile devices and push email is almost unbeatable. THe only problem is your stuck in a windows environment and have killer licensing costs associated with the priveledge of using it.
We run a web hosting service down here in New Zealand where the market isn't quite as cut throat as in places like the US and that is reflected in prices. Hosted exchange accounts sit around $30NZ per month per email inbox, quite high considering our median income is around $30,000NZ.
I think this has priced the service out of the rich of small/medium sized businesses and as a result many people here don't know of or use the features which could radically improve their email experience.
<< removed >> after days of searching I came across Smartermail and its support for syncml. << removed >>
From what I see, it seems that the collaboration and integration exchange has such as in calendar/contacts/tasks is becoming standardized accross mail servers.
Do people think that in the future these features will become a standardized feature of most mail servers?
Owner: What Is Your TOS Regarding Unlimited Features
Dec 16, 2008After my bad experience regarding unlimited features on this link: [url]
I tried to search some of webhosting provider tos regarding their unlimited bandwidth and space. Here one of the tos: (sorry, I hide the name).Unmetered Bandwidth Policy
The purpose of the ********* unmetered bandwidth policy is to assure owners of standard operating web sites and small businesses that they will not be surprise billed for bandwidth usage. It is one less thing someone will need to worry about while hosting their web site at *********. The ********* unmetered bandwidth policy does not cover certain web sites.
These include the following:
* Web Portals/Communities/Forums - Any sites that have members and/or forums.
* Online Gaming - Includes online casinos and single/multiplayer online games.
* Image Galleries - Includes eBay or other online auction image dumps.
* Downloads - Any site that prompts for a download or has large applets.
* Audio/Video - Any streaming content, web-cams or audio/video downloads.
* Chat - Includes PHP and Java chat rooms. CGI-based chat is not allowed on our servers.
If you are planning on using our servers to host one of these sites, ********* will allow for 50 GBs of transfer per month. You will be billed $10.00/10 GBs/mo thereafter.
All other accounts for personal and small business are allowed unmetered bandwidth. If you adhere to our Terms and Conditions of Use Policy and run a standard web site, you will be covered under the unmetered bandwidth policy. (99.9% of all ********* hosted web sites currently qualify for their unmetered bandwidth usage.) Accounts that do not follow our Terms and Conditions of Use policy are classified as metered bandwidth accounts and will be billed accordingly.
Unmetered Web Space Policy
********* customers are privileged to be offered unmetered web space for their sites on certain plans. ********* will start you out with 1000 MBs of space. Once you approach 90% of its use, simply request additional space from Support. ********* will then add another 1000 MBs of space, free of charge. You can continue this process until you no longer require additional space. The intent of ********* is to provide a large amount of web space to serve web documents, not an off site storage area for electronic files or a backup of your PC. Ninety Percent (90%) of your web pages (html, etc.) must be linked with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored within your space, hosted on a ********* server.
Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked files, will not be offered any additional web space under our Unmetered Web Space Policy.
Read the tos carefully, it can be tricky right? So if your the owner of webhosting provider that give unlimited bandwidth and space.. what is your TOS?

Thanks a lot for your input. I've listed a few options, but please feel free to post more below!
(also, just to make it clear, we (uk2group.com) does not offer all of these services, so this is not a lame attempt to spam or promote our services...)
Hostgator Alternative With Similar Features
Feb 27, 2009I am having many accounts with hostgator and have been using them for almost three years now. Their prices are good and service is good also (during the recent 6-8 months).
I am looking for some alternative shared hosting service.
We will need around 15 hosting accounts on different servers, with different dedicated IPs (which should be in different C Class).
For a similar plan (baby) with hostgator, i am spending $9.95 per month. I am looking at reducing the hosting costs.
Cpanel Hosting
Dedicated IPs (in different C Class)
4-8 domains to be hosted
MYSQL and PHP with some basic modules installed
What i am looking for is a reliable company with many servers, on which they can give me
small shared accounts, to host around 4-8 low traffic websites.
Features Of A Web Hosting Review Web Site
Dec 16, 2008Both from a customers point of view and a hosts perspective. What features would you like to see a web hosting review web site have?
I know most would like:
* No affiliate/paid advertiser links for so called 'top hosts'
* Advertisers to be clearly displayed as advertisers/affiliates
* Rating system to be rated on actual reviews, pricing, uptime, features
* Ability for host to respond to review made by customer

View 6 Replies View RelatedConfiguring Mail Features Of Windows Server 2003
Jan 23, 2008Please pardon the "newbie" nature of this post. (Due to circumstances outside my control, I've had management of a Windows Server 2003 VPS thrust upon me, and I'm feeling like a fish out of water!)
I have finally abandoned any hope of getting phpmailer to work with Joomla 1.0.13, so I've decided to configure the POP3/SMTP features of my server so that I can use Joomla's SMTP mail service. (Joomla's SMTP option is limited to port 25 and cannot use ssl.) Anyway, I've tried to set up my POP3 and SMTP services, but I must be doing something wrong. I have both services set up with my registered domain name -- and a check of the DNS in the SMTP setup comes back OK. However, if I try to use my domain name as my SMTP and POP servers in Outlook Express, the program times out while "looking for host." If I enter "localhost" or my IP address (numeric) as my mail servers, I get a dialog box asking me to log in. However, when I try to log in -- using my administrator name & password -- it doesn't work.
I should probably stress that I'm using SERVER 2003, not an EXCHANGE server for this. I have need for one, whole mailbox to make my stupid contact form work, which is why I'm doing this in the first place. If this doesn't work, I'm going to create my own contact form in html, throw it into a joomla content page, and use the phpmailer script to send it manually. Not ideal, as it will always go to the same mailbox, but I'm getting to the point where I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!
Server Uptime Or Support
Aug 13, 2008Would you rather have your site hosted on a server that goes down frequently, but with support that is constantly monitoring it, and resolves all of your issues in a timely fashion?
or
Would you rather have your site hosted on a very reliable server, but when a problem does arise, support is either not knowledgeable enough, or is incredibly slow at fixing the problem?

Does Support Matter If There Was 100% Uptime And Scalability?
Dec 1, 2008Does support matter if there was 100% uptime and scalability?
Our team has been developing scalable sites since 2004. We started renting servers from Layeredtech then, since they had good reviews and they were still good until we migrated away from dedicated server land. Although we have systems administration backgrounds, it still took time away from developing software in order to administer the servers (look over logs, backups/restores, performance graphs, hardware failure, etc). Having said that, one thing I've noticed is that customers are usually happy if servers are always running and running fast.
To get rid of the systems administration part we tried Mosso (they had just released, great support but a lot of problems), we tried mediatemple's grid (also had a lot of problems), couldnt try EC2 because of persistent storage, and lastly we are currently using thegridlayer (it lags, the initial request takes about a second to display a page with no load on the server).
The next things to try were VPS then managed dedicated servers. We decided to try VPSes so we can isolate sites from each other and add VPSes as needed for specific sites. So I got a zone.net and they were running fine until they had a problem mentioned here. People recommended them because they had fast servers, now is the opposite because of this one downtime.
So finally, my questions:
1) how much do you think support is needed if your hosts provides fast servers and 100% uptime?
2) What measures do you take (if any) to verify the host's procedures such as backups, company size, profitability, etc?
3) How do you verify that a host is not overselling before buying a hosting package (assuming shared or VPS)?
Virpus Terrible Support But Great Uptime
Jul 12, 2008I`ve been using virpus for 6 months and support was always terrible but uptime was good.
I`ve never been able to login to hypervm which i`ve supposed to login, when i open a ticket regarding this they always forward the ticket to so called management department which in fact do nothing at all.
If you`re looking a vps provider with no support but good uptime then choose virpus but if you`re looking for little bit support then stay away from them.

Web Space Storage Or Get Additional Space From Another Server

Softlayer Support Vs Theplanet Support
Jul 12, 2008I'm undecided between an upcoming dedicated hosting server and am moving between Softlayer and ThePlanet. My decision partly comes down to support.
I've read many reviews on WHT about both companies, but not necessarily comparing them from people who have experienced both.
So my questions (keep in mind this is my first dedicated. I have used VPS in the past with good support) Which offers MORE support (not better) - I'm curious which company might consider my support questions as "part of the default service package" or "need additional service plan for that" More detailed support - my usual experience with support is support staff assume you already know a high level so it may take going forward and back 5 times via email to get a full answer
Overall support satisfaction - any other comments
100% Uptime Possible
Mar 28, 2009I am shopping around for a new dedicated server and am running into sites that offer 100% Uptime guarantees.
Is 100% uptime possible? Wouldn't that mean that they never reboot their server, or never perform specific maintenance/updates on the server?
I guess when I see 100% uptime, I would expect perfection. I thought I'd ask here if this is possible because I'd hate to invest dollars on something false.
How To Keep 100% Uptime
