Is There A Fast Web Host Out There
Dec 14, 2008
Is there a webhost fast enough for providing large files (2.5GB +, going up to 10GB + larger) on my website to users worldwide?
At the moment my website is hosted in the UK and it seems to deliver download speeds of around 650kbps if only one person is downloading at a time. I have tried other web hosts, and their download speeds are never advertised, but have turned out to be even less in practise (e.g. 150kbps)
As I'm hosting large files (e.g. 1GB - 2.5GB - 8.5GB or more) on my website, I need something with unlimited speed. i.e. so that the download speed is limited only by the end user's connection.
Is there anything like this out there? I realise the files are very large in size, but I'd rather keep the process electronic than mail out hundreds of DVDs all the time.

I have a site that is currently hosted in Australia and loads relatively quickly there , but it is very slow in Uk and France.
Eli kindly set up a trial at blurstorm but I am unhapy with the way it loads in australia which is its primary audience.
how to get my speeds up with the site? ATM there is a 2.8 mb swf file that loads in about 5 sec in aus but about 20 in europe.
Blurstorm is faster in europe(france)but unacceptably slow in Aus.
Is blurstorm considered fast servers on their reseller plans? Or do I need to upgrade my expenditure to get what I want?

fairly strong dedicated server probably minimum of a single processor dual core, preferably a quad-core and around 2GB+ RAM. I don't mind a metered bandwidth plan and I don't have a preference on how much bandwidth is provided but I need a fairly solid and fast network. I looked into midphase and I their plans look attractive but I've heard bad reviews on them on it being unreliable, unreliable support, and a slow network. I also recently used zenex5ive and I wasn't too happy with their network either. I've looked at a bunch of providers but I can't figure out which ones would suit me best. Anybody have any suggestions that you think would match my criteria? I mostly need the specs above and a fairly fast network with good pricing...

Somebody posted a video in my website which got viral. Many big websites (like gizmodo) embeded it and I've maxed out my 100mbit/s connection. Traffic is increasing and my website started crashing.
I want to move that video to other server ASAP so my website would stop crashing.
Do you know any host which would set up server or VPS fast (up to 1-2 hours)?

I currently run a website which is hosted with storminternet.co.uk and, while I can't fault their reliability, the (lack of) performance is undermining the usefulnes of the website.
Key features of the website are:
- completely MySQL/PHP driven so the host needs MySQL support and processor power . Some of the MySQL queries are fairly complex and call upon multiple tables of large datasets.
- monthly bandwidth is much less of an issue than speed (if that's not an oxymoron) as the number of visitors is currently <250/day.
- most if not all of the visitors are from the UK
In terms of budget I would be willing to go £150+/year if the service was top quality.

for a linux web host that has extremely fast mysql connections, 100GB of bandwidth, and the amount of space has to be at least 1GB. Price doesn't really matter.

Who knows a good host that offers PHP5, mySQL 5, and at least 1 TB of hard drive space for a cheap hosting account.
I am setting up a digital asset management tool and I need alot of hard drive space for a few of users to be able to download large image files.
Which is why i need massive amounts of hard drive space.
If anyone knows of anything, please PM me or post it here. I will be checking this thread periodically.
OH and by cheap I mean less then $100/month.
I would guess the server could be either VPS or Shared or if you know of a dedicated server company, then that would be awesome too.

I have recently closed my Linux Developer account with fasthosts due to intermittant latency problems, and rubbish support query turn around, always over 48hours if replied to at all (most of my support queries were never answered unless I actually phoned in about them!)
So is mine an isolated incident or are others out there having the same problem?

I'm planning to host about 10 websites, most of them will be developed on Dotnetnuke (latest version). The most important issue is the speed of the web sites. The pages need to be opened fast. The target audience is located in Istanbul/Turkey, therefore I think the EU-based companies will be better for my requirements.

I run lighttpd as my webserver, and 5.2.1 worked perfectly. I upgraded to 5.2.4 but when I checked my version, it said "cli". I ran the exact same configure command that I did with 5.2.1, but for some reason it says "cli". I then just ran this config:
'./configure' '--enable-fastcgi' '--enable-discard-path' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect'
And got this error:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sapi/cgi/php-cgi] Error 1

I need to provide an 8gb file download (split into 1gb parts) that will be downloaded by 80+ people worldwide, simultaneously. I'm talking for example, they will be each downloading at 1.2megabytes per second each (this is the average speed of their home connections), simultaneously.
What are the specs or things I should be looking out for in a website hosting provider?
One service I'm looking at is advertised as 0.5Mbps in bandwidth and 100Mbps in transit, for £40 a month. The service I'm looking at is sensical.net's colo business service (http://www.sensical.net/). What does this mean and is it fast enough? What is the difference between these two figures - 0.5Mbps bandwidth and 100Mbps transit?

I'm in the process of switching my host provider and Im leaning towards Surpass Hosting.
I've already contacted them for a few question and their support seems expectational as they respond my tickets thoroughly in less then 20 minutes.
Just a few questions to those that do use surpass or have used them. How fast are their servers for PHP like Wordpress and Invision Power Board and are are your sites stable (always fast, or are they slow at times and then fast) with them.

The server I have running has LAMP and some other related services running. It's on a 100Mbit shared port. Whenever the server has been running for 30-90mins, the pings start to become very high (+2000ms). Problem exists with ftp, ssh, http etc, and restarting named, httpd, mysqld doesn't affect anything. The only thing that gets the pings back down and the speeds up again is to reboot the system, which takes about a minute. The MRTG graphs show that there isn't any significant traffic which cause the pings go down, in fact, the traffic goes close to 0 when the pings start sky rocketing. CPU load is < 0.1 and memory usage low as well.

anyone know of any company with fast response time? (5-30minute no matter what time of the day it is, and maybe even guaranteed in some way?)
i have 3 different server at 3 different provider for redundancy and backup purpose and on top of that have also try 3 other hosting company but seem like support is hit and miss depending on time sometime waiting 4-8+ hours for a response.

connection.kbytes-per-second = 250
But then I look at server-status and see:
114 Connections

I want to slow this down because I'll exceed my bandwidth limit for the month.

I serve mp3 dj mixes for some friends and am coming up on the end of my current hosting contract here in the next couple of months. They have been a fantastic host the only reason I am working on looking elsewhere is cost-related.
I got a unbelievable deal when I signed up last year and it would run me almost $300 to renew for another year, which is out of my price range.
Aside from great uptime (99.97% over 10 months), the thing I really like about the current host is their download speed. I have a 1mb cable connection at home and consistently download files at 850ish/kbps. Everyone I have spoken with has experienced similar speeds. This is much faster than any host I have ever used and is twice as fast as another host I use.
So, what I am looking for is a host that offers something similar in that regard that's around $10/month and optimally has coupons/deals floating around.
I would be happy getting 650kbps/sec, obviously the faster the better. Uptime is always a consideration, however this is more of a hobby and I am not expecting the same uptime that I get currently.
I am not against using a dreaded 'overseller' for this venture, I just need something that pushes large files fast.
I have plenty of time to find a new host, but would like to start getting a short list put together so I can request test files and whatnot.
