i went thru the web host search and found out this ixhosting & hostexcellence has best offers. But same time i have read several complains about these two providers.
So does anybdy know any provider who can offer similar hosting package as these 2 companies.
Is there a colo provider that has a free private network for use between their locations, similar to what SL has for their dedicated servers between facilities? They have 10GigE between their locations, with free unlimited usage.
We have around 40 servers now, and colo would really make sense, but we are doing multicasting stuff so we really need a backend network to support our services, as well as many locations for better delivery quality.
I had a client that can no longer afford a dedicated server hes paying for.
Hes been with me for 4 years so I offered to pay for a vps for him for a few months. He had the dedicated server split into 1 linux side and 1 windows side so im going to get 1 linux vps from fsckvps *2gb ram* now im looking for a windows vps that has similar prices as fsckvps because he was only paying 70 per month for the dedi server.
has anyone who is hosting a site been sued because of downtime or lack of service? I would love to hear any and all horror stories!

Must be able to preconfigure both the incoming and outgoing E-mail addresses so to be working as an automated kind of system. Any ideas, email manager lists, softwares, scripts, even some ticketing system would be considered. Please, do post your experience/knowledge.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using 15minuteservers for many years and I like it (connection and tech support), so I'd like to know if someone can recommend me some service with similar quality (it possible with similar price, or cheaper ) just because I don't want to keep all the servers on the same datacenter
I was using theplanet for "the other datacenter", but their prices are much more expensive than 15ms as far as I check
I'd need some config like:
Xeon 3.06 Ghz, 1024 Megs, 200 GB SATA, RAID-1, FreeBSD 6.x
around $200/month
I need to find some webhosting companies that offer the same services as bluehost.com
View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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.
My son's have been ordering products from a Japanese website, and I would like to take it a step further and sell some of the products here in Florida. These products vary from shoes, clothes etc.
Basically, I am looking to create a website similar to theirs (gz-b2b.com) ~sorry if links are not allowed, I am not trying to promote them by an means, just trying to follow!~
I would like to register a domain, upload pictures that are organized by a category and have a dedicated email. no online e-checkout stuff, just straight pictures & subsections.
direct me to a cost effective (sub $5/month) webhosting solution, that has a quality web builder built in so I can basically just upload pics and organize sections.
I very much like domaintools Reverse IP tool. However, at $15/month its not that cheap.
anyone know of a tool which does the samething yet cheaper or free
i found the service for backup of SMTP:
If your mail server or network goes down, our backup SMTP can receive and store your incoming e-mail for up to 30 days. E-mail and ecommerce orders will keep coming, giving your IT staff time to repair the problem. Our standard service reattempts delivery every 15 minutes until your mail server is back online.
Seems that is good decision if you want to provide quality services for your cusutmers, but i want to know your opinion regarding this service or similar. did you use services like this , and can you share some experience for this?
I have a wordpress based website hosted at mediatemple.net, I am very happy there but recent functionality I added has casued a big increase in cron processing - MT limits the number of GPU's you can have a month to 1000 and I will exceed this. I think I will have to move off as their other offerings are much more expensive
As someone who ran and sold a web host in the past the first thing I did was search here for peoples views, as im out of the loop on whats new - but wasnt too happy with the results
I am after managed shared hosting as I dont have the time to deal with vps or dedicated
budget of about $30 a month unless something special is out there
24/7 Phone support and live chat support
1500 GPU / Month (Grid Performance Unit) - if monitored
Im looking to find Europe based hosting companies that have similar size, support and datacenter facilities like (mt) mediatemple, theplanet or Softlayer.
I have a some needs, because i realy want a quality host with a good support.
So my needs: ....
I would like something similar to the business package located here:
http://www.hostgator.com/shared.shtml
But I do NOT want HG, too many bad experiences.
My only requirements are...
-No more than $15/mo
-Unlimited domains
-At least 100GB of bandwidth a month
-Supports PHP
-Some type of control panel (preferably cpanel)
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
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.

Anybody know a very good Xen VPS provider in the UK? All I can find (and I have look around a lot) is either a brand of VaServ or has a website is completely built with images and is just too stupid to be of a real hosting company.

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.

View 24 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Does anyone have experience with a good IRC VPS provider? I want to run an couple of BNC's. Unmanaged is fine. My budget for this would be $20/month.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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.
One of my client is ask me what is the difference between an INDIAN hosting provider
