Windows Hosting - Liquidweb
			Dec 24, 2008
				I had been an IX webhosting client for a few years and after my sites being down for over 50 hours a few weeks ago, and having to deal with their abysmal service with tech ticket requests going 15 or more hours between replies, I went looking for a new webhost.
I was recommended Liquidweb by a friend who has a private server with them and also is a member of this site. I selected a VPS with them for a few reasons, several web sites, I own multiple cart32 shopping carts and they were entirely US based for service. After all the problems with IX and the slowness of their servers etc I was done with dealing outside of the US.
I know enough to get me in serious trouble...I asked many questions of these guys before I pulled the trigger. I looked here at what alot of other people were providing and I decided on these guys.
I gotta say I was initially very impressed with their level of service. While it took multiple weeks to get the VPS permissions etc configured properly to run everything (Alot longer than anyone figured and there's still a few straggler issues) I got to say that they get a big kudos for what they did for me. I pestered these guys relentlessly-so much that they probably hate me now  but they've done an excellent job and I continue to be impressed with the level of features and service from them! They regularly answered my emails and were able to provide much help in getting this setup.
Being self employed I know that many times people never hear the good, usually just the bad...so I figured I'd pass this on here in the event someone is looking for a decent hosting/datacenter company to deal with. I have no other business relationship with these guys other than to hire them for my hosting.
Seeya to IX I will never give those clowns another penny. Their tech people are horrible and not a single one cared about the fact that they put me out of business on my busiest days of the week not to mention weeks before Christmas.

        I want to get a windows vps and their offer is the best I've found yet. I've already sent them an email with plenty of pre sales questions (I hope they'll answer the technical ones too) but I want some feedback from the people who already have the Windows Vps package from them.
I know LW has a good reputation around here but most of it seems to be based on the Linux package. Could a current (or ex) customer tell me more about his experience with the windows package from LW?

        Anyone here has a Windows server or VPS with liquidweb?
I saw their ServerSecure for Windows Servers page and was wondering if they actually install something useful to match the claims on that page.

        I know there are a few threads that are somewhat similar, so I apologize from that aspect, but since I am still not sure of the best option, I thought I would post my exact requirements and hopefully get some good advice.
We need a Windowss dedicated server, probably in the 8 core/8gig RAM variety for a rather intensive Asp.net/MS SQL site.  It is a corporate site that is expected to see heavy usage with fairly heavy DB/reportng related web pages. 
The majority of people accessing the site will be connecting from Europe.
We will have little, if any, need for management support of Windows or IIS, we are primarily looking for reliable hardware, with quick hardware repair when failures come, and in a redundant DC to avoid downtime (hardware or internet pipe).
The price difference between rackspace and the others does not concern us, so price while a consideration, is towards the bottom of our list of priorities.
As our users are in Europe, a European DC would probably be ideal, but that is one question I have.  How much difference will performance/latency be with an American DC vs. European DC for our European users.
English speaking (native language, preferably) support is a must.
A High powered machine (minimum would be 8 cores x 2ghz + 8 gig ram) is a must (possibly two servers -- possibly a router based load balancing of the two servers).
Fast, reliable/redundant internet pipe.  We need a DC that will not be unreliable, wether it is from internet outages due to lack of redundancy, or speed fluctuations due to overselling the bandwidth.
So, basically, I have two main questions, I suppose.
First, since the majority of my users will be in Europe, should I only consider a European DC?  How much difference will my European users see/feel if we are in a US DC?  What difference does it make if the DC is on the East cost, then say Texas?
Second, with price not being a primary consideration, and needing little or no managed support (besides hardware support), just high power machines in a HIGHLY reliable DC, which are the best companies to go with?

        Has anyone had a particularly bad (or particularly great) experience with LiquidWeb? I'm considering  switching to their shared hosting, and want to hear if anyone has had any problems with them.

        My account just got nuked by Cari.net, some spammer abused one of my mail servers (I didnt pick this up.. sloppy)  So they decided to cancel all my servers. My entire account. No warning.
One of my sites on the server is a social network with 100k+ members
Im sure I will get my account back, dealing with overseas support staff is a ***** tho
In the mean time, im looking for a new dedicated managed server host? Im willing to spend 150-250$ per server..
Im leaning towards,

        I would like to compare what windows shared hosting is currently available to what I'm currently using as I'm getting charges for high bandwidth (20 gigs) for 40 websites which is not really high these days and I have to pay $1 every extra gig & its rising.
I don't want a VPS as I have tried them in the past and it is too much effort to set them up although I will use one in the future when I have the time to set one up properly. ALso with the ones I tried the memory couldn't cope and if I needed to get reasonable performance I would have had to pay a lot of $$$
My requirements are (all to be included in monthly price):
# must be unlimited or at least 50 domains can be hosted
# Offer Helm
# 50 gigs Bandwidth or more
# Clean host (no SEO banning or problems)
# Hosting Company Must not be a reseller - I want the real deal, proven & experienced host that has been around for at least 2 years. I will be doing a lot of research so please don't bother plugging your reseller business.
# I want at least 5 dedicated IP's with package
# Must offer AWStats with each domain
# Price: currently paying around $30 per month so something similar would be good

        I am providing linux hosting for a while now, but want to expand my services to windows hosting as well.
I am looking to get a dedicated server, but could use some help in deciding what to chose.
What would be better for windows 2003 hosting? It would normally be used for asp.net pages, and people can use ms sql (but the free msde edition). There will also be mysql on the server.
What would be better, more ram or more cpu?
config 1: less cpu, more ram
Xeon QUAD-CORE Clovertown E5130 (4 times 1,6 Ghz) 
8 GB ECC DDR2 ram
config 2: more cpu, less ram
Dual QuadCore 5310 8 times 1.6GHz Cores
4GB ECC DDR2 Ram
Also, I am looking at offering ajax for asp.net. Does this take a lot of resources on the server?
And what about running apps in isolated application pools for every user. Does this take a lot of server resources?

        I am planning to move my hosting from SHARED to either VPS / Dedicated / Cloud Hosting(MOSSO) . 
I am quite confused because:
1. I tried lunarpages VPS, they dont offer multiple MSSQL DB. THey offer only 1 and LIMITED to 1 GB.
2. Dedicated from lunarpages also has some limitations.
3. I heard something called as "cloud hosting" from mosso - Cloud sites, Cloud Files, Cloud servers.. I really dont understand what it means..
Can you please help?
I NEED:
1. Windows hosting - ASP, unlimited MSSQL DB and atleast 10GB space. The site will have atleast 100K visitors / month.

        I am planning to place an order with hostnexus for a windows hosting. I saw them first on whreviews and got impressed by their professional site and quick response to my queries via email.
But can any existing or past customers share their opinions about their uptime, suppor or any other issues? Is it comparable to hostgator for linux?

        a speaker at a meet-up stated that the only reason Linux is a more popular server platform is that kids starting hosting companies do not need to pay for the license... 
whereas college educated techies prefer the windows platform for their servers..
So I thought I would get some opinions from the pro's... which is the overall best server platform
Windows... or Linux

        I've been looking everywhere for a half decent, affordable, windows web hosting company. Everyone has CPanel/Linux, and I'm looking for Plesk + Windows. I'm gonna be buying a dedi soon that will run on windows, but I want some shared hosting too.
If you could refer me to some decent hosts, that would be great (and I hate oversellers)

        I'm trying to find hosting that offers ASP, PHP, SQL and some kind of control panel (plesk or cPanel) and that accepts Paypal (credit card is okay but Paypal would make it 50% easier.)
Anything around $15/20 would do.

        Webresellers has taken a bashing on wht but I don't see anything recent so I thought I would share my experience and see if anyone else has input on this company. 
I signed up for a windows hosting account a couple of months ago and have been very happy with their service. Support has been fast and competent, no canned responses or 'what problem?' replies. Uptime has been good so far. They offer quite a decent package for cheap windows hosting. 
The only negatives might be windows hosting issues more than hosting service issues. 
1. Spam filtering is terrible. 
2. They offer MSSQL and have an online interface. I forget who developed it but it's nothing like myphpadmin. Quite crippled actually but it will let you create tables. Again probably not the hosting company's fault. Even Microsoft's remote sql server tool has limited functionality.
3. FTP uploads are throttled but it's not a show stopper. 
IMHO definately a contender for windows hosting. I've slowly converting my asp sites to php but until I get that done the sites seem to be safe at webresellers.net.
