Jul 22, 2008I have a wordpress based website that is currently doing about 500,000 uniques a month and 5gb a day. It uses the wordpress module for php caching but it is still pretty damn heavy on the CPU. I am looking for a VPS, preferably one in a clustered type of environment so that I don't need to see them reboot the (single) physical server, or be down for physical maintenance of any kind.
Also this website looks like it will continue to grow pretty fast, so a place that can handle this kind of growth would be a must.
Linux is definately preferred.

Jun 26, 2007I've narrowed down my VPS search to one of these providers.
SolarVPS.
JupiterLX
832MB Total SLM RAM
30gb storage
600gb bandwidth
with cpanel
100Mbit uplink

not sure about the datacentre, the site says Euroconnex
around £45 per month
or
Clustered.net
512 RAM
512 swap RAM
Server has 2 x quad-core Intel Xeon "Clovertown" @ 2.33Ghz (18.64Ghz)
Max of 15 servers per node
25gb storage
300gb bandwidth
with cpanel
1Gbps uplink
1 hour replacement
fully managed
Looks like the datacentre is redbus interhouse in UK
£55 per month
Which is going to be the better quality provider? Clustered offer a 100% uptime guarantee, and for every hour a server is down they refund you a days hosting.
Clustered seem to offer tape backups? solarvps offer off-site hosting, which might come in handy as well.
I searched the forum for clustered.net, but didnt find many reviews.
From my first impressions I think clustered seem to be my best bet, although I will get less in the way of storage and bandwidth, I feel there website makes me think I'll get a better quality service. There website talks about how redundant everything is. Hopefully people can backup what I'm thinking.
Clustered Storage
Apr 9, 2008Does anyone know of a good reliable and redundant method of organizing clustered storage? I know that IBM has GPFS - has anyone actually used it? Do they charge a crap load for it?

Jul 9, 2008I've switched my VPS to clustered.net about 6 months ago and I thought I'll just share a few of my experiences.
Clustered.net has their servers in London (somewhere in Canary Wharf, I've forgotten the name of the datacentre). I signed up for their smallest VPS available with 512MB/25GB/450GB.
Connections speeds to the UK and Europe are great, as far as I can see US is no problem either. I'm in the UK and most of the traffic is from the UK, so I wanted a UK provider.
I've got a 20M cable line at home and the server is always able to give me the full 20meg. I'd say perfect. I don't have any really heavy traffic sites, though. I've got a few sites on there, but mostly wanted my own spam solution and personal server for data-transfer etc.
Not only the speed is pretty good, the server has been up and running pretty much all the time, almost no downtimes at all. Really solid performance and reliability. Once we had a outage time of a few minutes and I got money off my next bill.
They offer cpanel, which I really wanted to have. We all know that Cpanel offers great versatility, and ASSP as spam solution is fantastic. Cpanel cost a fiver more per month.
Their website is a bit wonky, which shouldn't put you off - the support is awesome! I've done stuff like locking myself out of the VPS (set the firewall a bit too tight) and I've always had a helpful reply to my query within 10 minutes. Really helpful and quick.
Their support is truly outstanding.
I've been with Interhost before and it's a difference like day and night. At Interhost I got virtually no support at all, clustered.net always helpful, always quick. Interhost was unstable and poor speeds - clustered.net is the opposite.
Their services are not exactly at the lower end of the cost scale, but if you're looking for a reliable, fast VPS in Europe with excellent service, I can only recommend them.
Dedicated Or Clustered
Apr 10, 2008I currently am in the process of building an online shop, so far we have about 200,000 products in the database to when running a search its taking up to 10 seconds to display the results which is not good enough. The setup at the moment is a cpanel vps with zipservers, 512mb ram.
Given this i have started looking for new hosting for the site which is built however it cannot be launched until we have a good server. We already have 150,000 adwrods adverts set up on pause ready to go so the project is needing to move fast.
Currently pondering between
1) a 1gb dedicated server with cpanel
2) Netfirms clustered hosting which they claim is more powerful than dedicated
at the moment i am tempted to go for the Netfirms hosting as i have used them for other projects in the past and seem to get on ok with them. They claim that when i make a database it will be servered by several sql servers which will make things much faster than if i went for the dedicated set up.
Does anyone have experience of clustered hosting and is it better than dedciated?

Clustered.net Reviews
Mar 10, 2007I am evaluating XEN hosts and was wondering if anyone has had experience with Clustered.net (UK). Their name makes it hard to search (too many false matches) and the only posts I found were in the benchmark section.
I have selected a VZ host after days of research but may need XEN for some of my other clients. (I personally prefer XEN technology for my type of applications). I am familier with serveraxis and many others (some of which cannot provide me with more than 1 or 2 IPs per server or are sold out).
clustered.net sounds interesting. They have fall-back to static pages, support backup DNS (via bind so not limited to web pages) and SMPT (the only provider I know of that does). I am NOT a panel kind of guy so not offering Cpanel or Plex is fine.
This has been gruling research but well worth it. Thanks to all who post and answer on this forum, this site is a treasure trove of knowledge!

Cpanel Clustered DNS (DNSOnly)
Jun 27, 2008Thew initial setup process for my future web hosting company will require a redundant dns setup. I was thinking of having two servers from softlayer (one on the east coast and the other on the west coast) being used as the dns servers (ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com). With one other server for handling the shared accounts, of course adding more servers (as needed) to the cluster in the future. Just wondering if this is the best possible way to setup for having only two name servers (with redundancy) for all shared account servers with my fleet. As well, I was thinking a dns only server wouldn't need to be that powerful, but I would like to be prepared in advance if you feel a strong server would be needed to handle the loads for all the shared accounts on many servers.

Oct 31, 2007I needed more control over my aplications (needed SSH, eaccelerator) and I upgraded from their Solar Cluster 3 to their 512RAM emeraldVPS.
Let me tell you the setup that these guys have rules in every way.
The only thing that runs on the VPS is Apache so you might have an idea that this may perform better in some aplications than most 1GB RAM dedicated servers that also run MySQL, mail and other services ...at a fraction of the price. MySQL, mail and dns runs on their clusters. I installed zend and eaccelerator, and now my busy Romanian blog (with wpcache) runs in 82MB RAM
I'm going to move 90% of my sites there, I have lots of space and resources to grow.
According to cpuinfo I also benefit from 8 of these:
CPU model name:
Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 865
The support guys have always been fair and square to me, they answered fast to all my questions (mostly less than 10 minutes), moved my sites on the VPS and told me what's good and what's not so good about their VPS (yes, they told me without asking them about the minor "inconvenience" I may have with the VPS before I bought it). I feel they are the kind of guys you would love going to parties and drinking beer with.

Clustered Email Server Software
Jun 8, 2009We have a client looking for a mail server solution for their business. Around ~500 members of staff will be using this so uptime is essential, we are looking to have 2 servers mirroring each other so if one goes down their emails will simply be routed onto the other server and continue to operate without issue.
We are looking for a clustered solution for redundancy similar to www.zimbra.com 's Standard edition ( the open source edition does not include clustering ) however the pricing ( $9k usd ) is simply out of the clients budget at this time.
So I am asking if people have any suggestions for software for dedicated mail servers, in this situation!
Also a plus would be to have anti virus / SPAM included as they obviously receive a large amount of spam emails.

Dedicated Or Clustered? Which One Is Better For Extremely High Traffic Sites
Apr 24, 2008hosting solution for 3 very high traffic blogs, all running on WordPress.
I have been researching dedicated and I came across a couple posts where people recommended Clustered hosting over Dedicated for better handling high traffic DB driven sites in the times of Digg or Slashdot frontpage exposure.
I would like your feedback, and your opinion on what to choose from the following options:
1. Netfirms Enterprise III (Clustered)
2. ResellerZoom Failover (Clustered)
3. LiquidWeb Dedicated Webmaster Series (Dedi w/ 2GB DDR and a 3Ghz Intel Hyperthreaded)
4. HiVelocity Dedicated (Dedi w/ Quad-Core Xeon 2.4GHz and 2GB DDR)
How To Keep Email On Current Host And Forward Http Traffic To New Host
Apr 11, 2008I'm configuring a website for a client who has moved their web hosting to downtownhost, but is keeping their email hosting with their current provider. They do not want to configure an MX entry on DTH to autoforward email back to their current provider because they don't want their email to pass through DTH.
In order to do this, do I keep the nameserver entries on the current provider the same, and configure an http redirect to point to DTH? Or is there something else I should configure on the current provider?

Blue Host And Host Monster Is Operated By The Same People
Aug 3, 2008I was with Blue Host and their support and service was pretty bad. Servers going down all the time, and chat support was terrible. Then I moved to Host Monster and received the same kind of service/support. I later then figured out that Blue Host and Host Monster is runned by the same people. For example, I opened up a tech support ticket with Host Monster and then they replied signing their signature with Blue Host. So I got the same service: terrible tech support and servers kept going down. Now I'm looking for a new web hosting. I a few people here gave Host Gator some good reviews. I hope Host Gator is not run be the same people that runs Blue Host and Host Monster.

May 27, 2008with this being my first website goddady's website tonight or there blog site plan seem pretty good as I do not know how to build a professional looking website nor do I have a knowledge of HTML. Are there other hosts that offer better services such as these?

View 14 Replies View RelatedFirst Paid Host - Which Host To Chose
Dec 12, 2007I have just made a personal website using photoshop, html, css and php. My site contains an index page, a gallery page with 8 photos, a contact page with a form and an extra page with some quotes. I am planning to use a paid host for the first time. Based on feedbacks from some of my sitepoint friends, I decided to go in for shared hosting. I thought of using Hostdogs.com as they have the option of a monthly billing cycle. I thought that I have the option of changing my host after a month if I am not happy with them. I have also read a lot about Hostgator.com. A lot of sitepoint members seem hooked to it.
1. Can anyone give an opinion as to which host I should go in for? Hostdogs also give a free domain. Is there any reason I should go in for Hostgator instead of Hostdogs?
2. One more question, I have heard that once I have a site running, I can earn money through the advertisements placed on it? How do I place advertisements on my site?
3. One last and very important question is whether it is right to go in for shared hosting at this point of time. I just read this
Quote:
When you look for a suitable host, be sure to check out the amount of bandwidth that will be available to your site. Even a site that doesn't require a great deal of data transfer per month could run slowly if you're hosted on a shared server; particularly if you are on the same server as a more popular or bandwidth-intensive site.
The more sites hosted on a server, the more likely they are to compete with each other for available resources, including bandwidth. This is why you may notice a reduction in server response times during busy periods, or during a sudden peak in traffic at a busier site on a server that you share.
This made me wonder whether I should go in for shared hosting. But then mine is a personal home page which may not have so much of traffic.
4. What does the paragraph below mean? How does one handle ones registration manually?
Self-Management (no cost)
Select this option if you prefer to handle your registration manually.Your web host can establish service with any Top-Level Domain (TLD), international or domestic.
Windows Host Or Specialsit ASP Host
Dec 31, 2007I will be setting up a site which uses ASP.NET 1.1. I know versions 3.0/3.5 are available, but they are not yet V2.0 compliant. Anyway thst is not the issue - just context.
Would like your advice as to whether it would be better to host this site with a company who looks as though they are specialising in ASP; such as DiscountASP, or Softsyhosting, or go with a general Windows hoster such as Steadfast, Fluidhosting, or 3Essentials?
I know nothing about ASP, so I don't know whether it is not at all neccessary to have a host specifically knowledgable about it, as I am unlikely to ever have problems with it, OR; I will most certainly have to address ASP issues sometime, so it would be essential to have support who really knows ASP.
Asp.net 2.0 . WHo Can Host It?
Mar 3, 2005I got the beta of vis studio 2005 about a month ago and happily started coding away. I recently told my host to convert to asp.net 2.0 so I could upload the stuff and have it work and he said he couldnt until the non beta comes out.
Is there anyone out there at the moment who will host asp.net 2.0?
