All I have is a big forum to host and I dont have much time to manage it - so a managed server is preferred. I also want cPanel on it.
futurehosting.biz really appealed to me but I was wondering if there was anything better, in terms of storage, bandwidth and RAM (also CPU, i dont know how much futurehosting give).
I would prefer if they had some kind of 24/7 live chat.

Their plans are pretty reasonable. Anybody here have any opinions on them (positive and negative?)

They have some nice plans for reseller hosting.
Do you recommend? Their reliability, etc?
I have come across this vps/virtual-grid solution, which at a first glance seems something like a vmvare esx infrastructure: thegridlayer.com does not provide very detailed information but for the little I understood they guarantee you almost 100% uptime because if your vps hardware fails it will be moved to a new node in minutes withouth any intervention. The grid structure also seems to easen scaling.
I am yet to understand what kind of virtualization they offer, but they claim the ability to build your own kernel, so it would seem a complete one.
Prices are quite cheap too: 59$ for a 512mb ram, 80gb disk, 2TB/bw virtual machine... Unfortunately they only seem to run a single prehistoric centos 4.4 distribution, but if you really can compile your own kernel and do all the tweakings would not be a big deal.
I am getting ready to order my server through a reputable company and am new to the colo thing and would like to here from some others letting me know if this server will be plenty for what I want. I have been using a dedicated server with Liquid Web for the past two years. The server I have with them has the following:
Processor: Dual Opteron 242
Memory: 2GB DDR Registered ECC
Hd1: Dual 120GB IDE / Hardware Raid 1
Hd2: 120GB IDE Backup Drive
RemoteBackup: 50GB Remote Backup
The server I am ordering is listed below. This has more memory and hard drive space then my current dedicated server. I am pretty sure that the 2 dual Xeon Woodcrest 5150’s will blow away the 2 dual Opteron 242’s. Am I correct in assuming this?
I would like an opinion on with this is a good server or is it to muck or to little. My train of thought when building and ordering this server was to build one that had plenty of memory and storage along with a good processor that I would not have to worry about for a while. I am thinking of changing my hard drives to 250G hard drives. So was this a good build for my train of thought?
2 dual Intel Xeon Woodcrest 5150 socket 771, 4x 2.66Ghz/2M L2 cores
Supermicro X7DVL-E dual socket 771 server board, Intel 5000V chipset

I have been with Blue Virtual (bluevirtual.com) for many years, since the Communitech days. However, the service these past few weeks has gone downhill big time.
The BV forums are dead, the webhosting is up and down like a yoyo, mail is intermittent.
Not just me but fellow users are experiencing the same.
Support tickets are going unanswered (accounts & tech. support).
I run a large community site, and i was wondering what the max amount of images I should have in an image folder? I'm looking to upgrade to an image only server and setup subdomain folders to split up the files. right now i have about 200k+ image files in just the public image folder... thats not counting the thumbnail folder, private folders etc...

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have 2 dedicated servers and one VPS with liquidweb. Lately I am facing quite an issue with support and I think I am posting 2nd time about liquidweb support.
Its all about my VPS, which use to hold 45 clients consumming around 50 % disk space and around 30 % bandwidth.
On 3rd of April VPS started to shoot emails about services failure and continuously went for 2 days. Then on finally 5th April, it went down. So I reported this to liquidweb support by creating a ticket(I created the ticket by shooting an email to support@liquidweb.com not by logging into PIMS). I got an reply in around 1 hr 20 mins that server is up. So i checked it and yes it was up, but with lots of issues. Still were getting service failure emails as they are failing and above all my root password stopped working. So couldn't login into WHM that time.
I reported this back on 6th April. No reply on 6th of April. On 7th april, I sent a reminder about the issue. They repiled by asking for my last 4 digits of credit card for verification purpose (Designatation of that person was written Web Designer) . Now when I ordered this using paypal, there is no question of last 4 digits of credit card. So I politely replied them back within 4 hours that I have used paypal for ordering the VPS.
They didn't reply back on 7th, not on 8th. Finally on 9th, when I lost few customers because I can't login into WHM, I wrote a bit stringly worded post in that support ticket.
To quote myself.....
"OPPS!!!....This has been a tremendous lack of response from you guys. It seems
that you don't have support guys anymore. I have lost few customers
because I can't login into my WHM. And it seems that you have changed my
root password and now not letting me know about this.
Suddenly one web designer is replying my ticket.
Whats is happening there?
Let me know my root password immediately.
Thanks
Krish"
Now after posting this reply, I decided to call them. So within 30 mins of this post I called them. Jason, a system admin replied and we talked politely about the issue. He accepted over phone that it was big mess.
Why big mess?????...because when he restored my old password and I logged into WHM....I don't see any account left . All data lost...everything gone as it appeared there is nothing left.
So he took up the issue of restoring account. He claimed that server was rooted. Now how come after so many days and communications they discovered my server was rooted?
Then he started restoring accounts....all accounts came back but with a loss of around whopping 80% loss of data. Most of customers started complaining about loss of emails and data. On 10th again I reported them about such loss and mysql which was not working. They fixed the mysql issue, but no database was left.
Then I got busy on 11th, could not follow it up as I should have been doing. But still as I was waiting replies from my customer about how much is the loss (I was telling them that we should be able to get them back from backup).
So I reported back to support on 11th as follows...I quote myself...
"I am waiting for reply from them. I noticed one thing. That the content is not
restored properly...as there are only 13% of space used right..which should be
around 50%."
On 12th I got following reply...I quote...
Our company uses ProductCart made by Early Impact (www.earlyimpact.com) for our shopping cart system. People on Early Impact's forums have recommended JoltDigital.com for web hosting for ProductCart.
Has anyone else used/is using JoltDigital.com or know of someone who does?
In your opinion, how are they as a hosting company: Customer support Uptime/reliability Feature reliability (ie- database management, scripting & server languages, etc.) Easy to use...
These guys are atrocious.
So far:
1)I bought a vps from them, got it promptly, except it was set to the wrong port.
2)I requested it reinstalled without there 'extras' so my network admin could do it himself. They do not offer a reboot in there power panel.
3)They reinstalled it, but changed my root password, also it is still set to the wrong port.
4)I then spoke to there live support, they started talking then disappeared for about 10 minutes to chat on the phone without even telling me, leaving a paying customer sitting there thinking 'what the hell'.
5)I requested the VPS be set to my original password by email, and they haven't
I just wanted a clean VPS to do my have my own install done on... how was that so much to ask of them?
I have now sent in another password request, but my advice to you all, steer the hell away!
We are in the process building a new colocation facility and I wanted to take some input from everyone here. We have most of the infrastructure planning and layout done but were still early on in the construction phase so now is the last chance to get some input. I have two main questions I wanted to ask.
1)When your looking for a colocation facility what things are most important to you?
2)Have you ever wished that datacenters offered something outside the normal things that most providers do.
i don't get why people can have more than one static ip...wouldn't you only need one?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have never understand this? Honestly, what is the point if they all point to one web server? I mean if the web server fails it doesnt do any good if you have 10 DNS servers. The only time it makes sense to me to run multiple DNS servers is if your DNS server is a piece of junk, and always goes down, which honestly doesnt happen that much.

I'm considering building the following 1U rack server for colocation. I'm completely new to rack servers and colocation so I would be very grateful to hear your opinions:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU
ASUS P5B-VM SE Motherboard
8GB PC5300 667MHz Non-ECC RAM
500GB HDD
345W Power Supply
I also have a few specific questions:Are there any differences between the Q6600 and it's Xeon equivalent? (especially power wise?)
Are there any disadvantages using a desktop motherboard in a (1U) server? (again, especially power wise?)
I've read that non-ECC memory is a lot more acceptable for servers now than it was a few years ago, is this true?
Does a 500GB drive use much more power than a 160GB drive?
How many watts of power can I expect the server to use?
Does a 1U chassis usually come with uATX mounting points?
Brand new to posting on this forum, but been browsing for a while. Also brand new to VPS, but i recently decided to take my first plunge into the VPS world. I've been using Iron Mountain VPS for about 3 weeks now, and since there seems to be very little talk about their services on this forum, I thought it would be useful to post my opinions, and maybe get the opinions of some others about this provider.
My Background:
I began my search for web hosting because I had been hosting my own email server at home, but began to have several issues keeping the server up and running (power outages, network outages, power supply failures, etc...). My wife was complaining about her email being down, so I began looking for a more reliable solution I'm also a software developer, so I also had some interest in running some "hobby" type j2EE programs, so I began to look at VPS solutions. Since I am pretty technically inclined, I was just looking for a low cost unmanaged VPS solution with at least reasonable reliability that was powerful enough to run j2ee applications, host email, and run a couple other services like hosting my digital photos and setting up a versioning control repository (svn). I actually took the time to make a speadsheet to compare over 10 VPS providers, and eventually found Iron Mountain to be the best solution for me.
Setup:
Their sales department was VERY quick to answer my questions, and very accomodating to my requests. I purchased their Pearl package online, and once the transaction was complete, I recieved an email that I could already log into my control panel. Here is the timline that things happened:
11:35am - Purchase transaction complete
11:36am - Recieve email on my billing info, and how to get into my VPS control panel.
11:48am - Recieved email that my VPS has been initialized, and I can no SSH to my instance
12:22pm - Recieve email that they have already setup a MySQL database for me (on their servers), and it is ready to use (without me even asking mind you).
4:31pm - I send an email (not even a support ticket) saying that I actaully prefer PostgresSQL
4:40pm - Recieve email that they will setup a Postgres instance for me
5:34pm - My PostgresSQL instance is up and ready to go (on their servers!)
So in summary, that is 13 minutes from purchase to having my instance up and running. 34 minutes additional to have a database ready for me to use (without me even asking for one). And another hour of time it took them to get a Postgres instance up for me... Not bad
Perfromance/Reliability:
Let me preface this by saying that I am a father of 2 with a full-time job, so I really don't have time to run benchmarks and such. Also, my VPS is more of a personal site, so I don't have to worry about reliability as much as say a reseller or ecommerce customer. So I'm only basing these comments on preception and my knowledge of the technology Iron Mountain uses. In genereal, I have experienced NO downtime, and performance seems VERY quick. My J2EE application almost seems to run faster off these servers than it does on my localhost development environment... which is good enough for me.
Now let me rant about why I am very comfortable with their ability to continue to have great perfromance and reliability. One key here is that this is clustered web hosting! This means they have (for example) 30 servers working together like 1 giant computer. This giant computer runs all of their customer's VPS instances. If one server were to fail, nobody is losing service, it just means that there are now only 29 servers making up this one giant computer until they can get #30 back up and running. This not only protects us customers against one possible cause of downtime, but it also allows Iron Mountain to do server maintanence and upgrades without interupting any of their customer's service. My employeer has a similar setup in their datacenter, so I am semi-knowledgable on the benefits of a cluster. Now their service could still go down because of things like network issues (which is often out of the control of the VPS provider), but at least it removes risk at one point of failure. If you need anything more reliable than this, you should consider other alternatives such as having a mirrored service with another VPS provider on a completely different network.
Another HUGE selling point for me is that they host my databases, email, and spam filters (and DNS if you need to use it) on THIER servers! All three of these can potentially hog system resources (disk space, memmory, and bandwidth), so to not have them taxing my personal instance is HUGE. This also spares me from having to configure and maintain these services on my own. Oh, and to top it off, the perfomance of these services are VERY fast. However, the flexibiblity is there if you decide you want to host your own database and email on your own servers (obviously).
Support:
As I mentioned earlier, I only really needed an unmanaged provider, and I haven't experienced any issues to this point, so my opinion on their support is limited. However, I have sent about 5-7 emails their way, and have received a response from them within 10 minutes every time! This gives me quite a bit of comfort should a real issue arise.
The funny part of all this is that I can not tell whether Iron Mountain's plans are managed or unmanaged. I guess they are at least semi-managed, as they have setup a database for me without any questions. I guess my question is whether they are fully managed (ie will do backups and install custom apps for you) or not... Maybe an Iron Mountain rep can chime in here.
Summary:
VERY smooth sailing so far. I have email, databases, subversion, apache, tomcat and more running, and still have plenty of resources left over for more. Sales/Support has been VERY friendly, and I have no concerns their. For what I need out of a VPS, who could ask for more. Their prices are also very reasonable, and their new Quartz plan is an amazing deal for a hobbyist like myself. Not really much to critisize at this point, but I will keep this forum up to date if anything arises.
