Rackspace has 'high performance' cloud servers now - http://www.rackspace.com/blog/got-the-need-for-speed-meet-performance-cloud-servers/quote:These servers have been engineered to deliver exceptional levels of application performance, with greater speed, throughput, reliability and scale. They are built with 100 percent data center-grade solid-state disks (SSDs). They incorporate powerful Intel® Xeon® E5 processors, as much as 120 GB of memory, and 40 gigabits per second of highly available network throughput to every host. They create a powerful hosting platform for a wide variety of workloads, ranging from basic web servers to large scale NoSQL data stores such as MongoDB and Cassandra.

Can anyone recommend a good and inexpensive dedicated hosting provider with decent (not-mostly-Cogent) bandwidth? Cheap poo poo god-awful whitebox hardware is totally fine, because we've got that redundancy baked in at our app layer.

OVH is always a good bet if you don't mind your location options being either France or Canada.

I want to buy both a .de and a .re address. But I don't live in Europe, which seems to be mildly contrary to the registration restrictions I see listed for them. Anything I should know? And where should I register for them?

Get a European forwarding address from e.g. http://mailboxde.com/ and straight up lie about your country of birth

The Provo datacenter that HostGator migrated all of their customers to (in the name of better service and hardware) after their EIG buyout is down again  It's only been a couple months since the entire DC was down for over 8 hours during the day. So glad I switched providers. edit: and it looks like their phone system is also down and they aren't answering any live chats. Maniaman fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Nov 20, 2013 |

I'm doing a small wordpress site with not too many resources or traffic, but I really want fast loading times to give that feeling of snappy professionalism. What benchmarks should I be looking at? Which companies? Apologies if this question has been asked. Thanks

Take advantage of free trials from different providers and see which one has the best performance and load times for your specific configuration. It's hard to benchmark and compare shared hosts performance. Download speeds aren't indicative of server loads and performance. The speed at which the web hosts website loads is irrelevant as well since it is likely hosted on dedicated hardware and not on the same servers that they are selling hosting space on. You really just need to try some and pick one, or get advice from people you trust. If that's goons, you're in the right place.

Just use their WordPress gear and WordPress is the only thing you have to manage. It's substantially less technical than traditional hosting for Wordpress

There are also companies that offer wordpress optimized hosting, like wpengine, pressable, and get flywheel. They'll handle page caching and backups for you, and setup is usually one click. As far as benchmarks go, I'd suggest that you set up trial accounts at a few hosts on your shortlist, have the same content up, and do a pagespeed test using pingdom tools or webpagetest.org. That's probably the most accurate way of getting an idea of page load times.

Just an FYI if anyone wants to give DigitalOcean a shot. DigitalOcean posted:Happy Black Friday! We're giving out a $50 (50 USD = 274 DKK) (50 USD (50 USD = 274 DKK) = 274 DKK) credit for one day only, so spread the word. Promo code is: BLACK50 I have been very satisfied with my low usage server in the Amsterdam location, but I have mainly been using them because of their hour-based billing which have been perfect for labs and testing.

You're getting something for nothing, and it's much better for both AWS and DO to bring in new customers than reward old ones (who are already tied in and unlikely to migrate even if another provider gave you another $25). Life is unfair.

My line is IPv6 enabled for a few days now and I'm running a Chrome plugin telling me which sites respond on what protocol. Out of curiosity, I was looking up various addresses and found a site that lists the domains related to an address. A few results turned out over 100K sites on a single IP. Is that what shared webhosting is these days? I found this pretty ridiculous.
