View 4 Replies View RelatedCheap Host With Good Customer Service
Jun 30, 2008I am creating a basic static site for my friend's gardening business. It will use html and CSS only, be around 5MB at most and does not require any databases, php support etc.
My problem is that he wants to basically have the site up and running and then be able to forget about it really. I will be going on now and again to update it for him, but that is about it. My experience with free hosts is limited, I have used byethost before, and though very good, they do require a log on every week else they assume the site is no longer wanted and delete the account and all files!
So, my requirements are:
Free host that easily allows to have your own domain name
Email address with the company domain, so quotes@domain.com, not quotes@domain.host.com
Cheap
Good customer service
Need no more than 20MB (allow for some extra photos to be added)
UK Based would be preferable
GAZZIN.COM --> Real Bad Service And No Good Support And No Refund Either

Hostway Service No Longer Good - Hosting Is Down Today
Jun 25, 2008I used to recommend Hostway.com to other companies, as they host our eCommerce site as a shared hosting site and their uptime and customer service were very good.
But, NEVER AGAIN. Today, they have been down ALL DAY since around 10:30 am (they would not give me the exact time) and so has our business site! I called twice and the wait time the first time for a tech support person was over 1 hour! IN-FRIGGING-CREDIBLE! The 2nd call a few hours later was at least a 45 minute wait.
The answer I got was that they had a hard drive crash and my site is unlucky enough to live on that drive. Understandable, but their explanation that it takes ALL DAY to restore a hard drive from tape is incredible (or havent they heard of RAID systems??). In any case, our site came back up for a few minutes and is back down again. Downtime since 10:30 or so is approaching 6 hours now!
So, I will no longer recommend HOSTWAY to anyone for any reason. The incredible wait times on the phone line are ridiculous and we have lost $$$ today due to this outage and associated loses from adwords, too.
Finally, it seems that Hostway's other problem is that they are trying to offer too many other kinds of services besides just hosting (which they used to be good at), and now they suck at their core basic service. That's my two cents.
Any recommendations for a replacement hosting service that is reliable and well known?
I think I pay about $50/3 months for Hostway.
Good Colocation Service Provider In Hong Kong
Nov 15, 2007our company just decided to buy two servers in Hong Kong and colocate them there. Does anyone know a reputable hosting company (data center) in Hong Kong that offers colocation service?
we hope the hosting company/data center can buy the servers for us - probably give us a few choices with different configurations and prices so we can pick two middle level servers. Is this something a typical data center/hosting company can help us with?
up-time is not critical for our website, but we want a hosting company (data center) we can work with for many years, therfore it has to be a stable and reputable (maybe large) company/center.
Is R1Soft CDP Backup Really Good
Jun 7, 2009I am currently moving my accounts to providers that use R1Soft as a backup solution. This is a security measure, but I am planning to use it as a marketing point too.
An after purchasing a backup account from Steadfast that includes support for R1Soft (and learning to use it), I am planning to resell their product.
Those ideas sound good, but is R1Soft software really as good as it looks like? Some years ago i had a problem with a very known (and trustable) VPS provider. After having a hard disk crash, they told that their Virtuozzo based backups weren't reliable, so I lost some data.

Bad Crissic Backup Service
Oct 23, 2008First of all, forgive me if I am posting this on the wrong section .
I am the owner of CyberSP.org, a really small service provider running on a2b2, and PROUD OF IT.
I had a deal with Skylar, the owner of Crissic.com, which I am not going to talk about it in this forums, but, all I can say, is that he offered me a 1 year 50gb backup account, (well, he didn't offer , it was our deal).
About 2 months using it, and it was running perfectly until then, I thought: ok, let's see how's the server going, and then, I made df -h and it shows: 3GB Available.
WHAT? 3 GB available on a BACKUPS SERVER? How's this possible!!!??
So, opened the first ticket regarding this, waited about 6 ~8 hours and he said (Skylar): We're working on the issue, bla bla bla.
Well, fine.
Some days later, it shows 158 GB Free.... Problem solved.
Now, some days later, I see that the backups was taking DAYS to do, haha! It's true, DAYS! (It was NOT a2b2 problem.)
So, logged in by SSH to the backups server (took me 5 minutes to log in!), and it was
SUPER slow, reaaaaaaally slow, downloaded a backup (at 200 kb/s xD) which I needed, and logged out.
Tried to contact Skylar on MSN, but he then log out some time later. (without answer)
Heh, I thought: well, this is a temporary problem, etc etc.
3 Days passed, yesterday I opened a ticket regarding that problem:
Dear Crissic,
The backup server seems to have issue for some days already.
It's more than slow, it's super slow.
This has been all day... the backup service was great, but it seems that last week problems arrived.
uptime
3:40AM up 136 days, 18:31, 1 user, load averages: 4.25, 5.27, 5.45
--
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da1s1d 1.9T 1.8T 168G 92% /
---
So, let's see, load is high and this is super super slow, and there are some GB's free for backups, but... can we really use it? I mean you guys should just put some more drives.
Please fix this instability issue, as this is causing my server to don't make the backups, which is really really serious.
Regards
----------
Note: it was opened as CRITICAL! 20 Hours without answer... what a poor service.
Every service providers know that backups ARE URGENTLY.
About some minutes ago, received an email regarding my ticket, saying that I didn't have any action, so the ticket was closed(automated ones), bla bla bla, I replied to it saying: No answer from crissic on a critical ticket, at backups service??? <- Only to keep the ticket opened.
And then, tried to contact Skylar on MSN, until he log out, 2 minutes later .
The server doesn't even answer anymore :
I know that I didn't gave him money, but our deal was 1 year of free 50gb backup, so I deserve respect and to be treated as a loyal client, I don't even should say FREE, because it was paid, in another way.
I have all my bills at a2b2 PAID (anyone from their staff can confirm), I DO NOT owe anything, all I want is to have a good service, I'm a honest guy.
From a2b2, everything is perfect, from Crissic, this is horrible. Really... I don't have money at this moment to buy another backup account.
This serves to prove you, that maybe Skylar is not a good person as you thought so.

Automatic Backup Service
Jul 2, 2008I have around 750 megabytes of data on a Windows 2003 server, and I would like to find an off-site / web service that I can use to back this data up incrementally at least nightly. Nightly incrementals would probably be 1-25MB in size. Full backups could run every other week or monthly, as the update rate is fairly low.
Ideally, I'd like to find some software to make this set-it and forget-it. Of course, periodic audits of the backup would be performed, but I don't want something I have to nanny constantly.
As I said, this is a Windows server, so a service would be ideal. A scheduled task would be just as good, I suppose.

Feb 20, 2007i 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.

List Of Good Hosters With Good TELEPHONE Tech Support
May 6, 2008I'd like to start an ongoing thread here listing the 'Good Hosters with Good TELEPHONE tech support'. In other words, out of the 1,000s of host companies, this may cut it down to less than a dozen.
( And for all you Hosters out there who really want your company to grow, and want to know how, - it's easy: just read here.)
Good telephone support is the #1 ultimate requirement, because:
-It's a lot faster and easier for both the user and the host company, because you can state and answer all questions and clarifications on the spot, you don't need to continually pass new emails with new questions and clarifications, back and forth for days on end, until the issue is solved. It saves tech time and user's time. And saves a lot of nerves.
- It's the best way to sort the good guys from the bad. A bad company isn't going to bother to answer the phone, - or will make you wait way too long, - because they are likely getting endless complaints. The good guys are always ready to answer the phones, with a friendly voice, - because they really WANT to please the customer.
- If a company can't be bothered to pick up the phone, we can't be bothered to even consider them. They're a joke, and so won't be listed here on this thread. (So, before adding or listing any Hosters here, please verfify that they do have Good, quick, friendly, telephone support,; ideally 24/7, but 9am to 10pm might be acceptable, if it was supplemented by some emergency contact.
AND:
- Hoster ALSO needs good EMAIL support (and preferably, Chat online, extended hour availability). (I spend a lot of time overseas). It sems all emails should get a non-automated response within about an hour, - and then support should jump on fixing any problem.
I only need support a few times a year. To answer some questions, or fix a problem, or do an install. That's lesss than 1 hour total, so any company paying maybe $18/hour tech support should be able to handle this. It IS reasonable to charge a custm for extended calls, beyond say, 90minutes a year, IF you don't count the 80%? Of times an issue is the Hoster;s fault of stmg gone wrong, and don't count the 'hold' times.
ALSO IMPORTANT:
- Uptime
- site Speeds
- Monthly plans, no contract (Only a dishonest host will try to force you into a contract, where they can then ignore you.)
- Reasonable price. (? Maybe $12 to $18/month for a basic business site. We don't need massive bandwitdths, - we all know that's an overselling scam, and can't ever be delivered.)
- a good upgrade plan of bigger options. Maybe even VPS.
- Dedicated IP, and availbility of SSL
-PHP 5, mysql, phpMyAdmin, etc
- cPanel ( Some Hosts are using problematic panels, like Hsphere, which are slow to load, slow in operation, require many more clicks, have too many options, spread apart on many separate pages. Time is money, and this really slows down the ability of a small business to manage his own site in effective time. For example, one WHT user wrote somewhere: "I don't feel that HSphere's interface is nice at all, although I have worked with cPanel and DA all my life... I just found it to include un-necessary features or split features up in to different hard to find pages, such as backups - mysql backups you had to find on a completely different page than file backups, and then there were options to have it in the home directory or server-end backup, in which then you had to wait a good 10 minutes before it was ready. cPanel, just hit backup and hit download and instantly it does everything you need...".
I have used several hosters. Currently on Aplus.net and Godad, which have phone support, and mediocre service.
My LIST So Far:
- Liquidweb: a very impressive company with good, 24 hour support. But to get dedicated IP, you need to go with their $25/month plan. Yikes!
- NewIdeaHosting.com. A very small company. My call was returned, and the owner chatted with me for an hour on the phone! Plans have small bandwidth, but promises No overselling, and personalized attention. Extra $5 for dedi IP. He specializes in Small business sites, and small eCommerce sites. He has only 250 accounts, on 3 servers. He rents servers from the Equinox data center of Chicago. Seems exceptionaly honest.
- MegaHosters. Excellent phone support and WHT reviews. But company was taken over by another company, and so may well go downhill in future. Another problem: uses Hsphere.
- Steadfast. Has a good rep on WHT, and seems impressive. Tech answered the phone immediately, but they say they prefer emails. Sales phone has limited hours. Good price on $20 SSL. But, uses Hshhere.
- JodoHost 24 hour phone. But, uses Hsphere. An Indian company with office in Florida, and good rep. I like the idea of outsourcing phone support, if it makes it more available and affordable. But, the accent on the phone was very hard for me to understand, so maybe this might not work.....
- Hostgator. Yes, it's a big overseller, but seems to get good reviews/results anyway, and good phone support.
- ? ThePrimeHost ?? Mostly good WHT reviews; some dissenters. Site says 24hour phone, but when I called on several nights, no one ever answered...
- Can anyone add to this list? Please list only hosts that meet the above minimum requirements of phone support, etc. Especially useful is hosters you've tried.
TO AVOID:
- Avoid Arvixe. I had a horrid experience with them, here: [WHT forum]:/showthread.php?p=5097822#post5097822
- Avoid WebHostingBuzz. This company never returned my phone msessage inquiries.
