Is IRC even that important? Important enough to poo poo this thread up with it? Honestly, I am looking for a reply to DNova's post though

I'm a fan of HostGator, myself. I've been through a few different goon-run hosts, and each has had it's fair share of problems. I've not experienced this with HG so far

VINEGAR BITTERS posted:Ha, wow. I never really thought about how much time 0.1% of a year was. The hosts who advertise 99.99999% uptime make a lot more sense now. I used to think they were just being dramatic. Yea, but when you break it down to the correct unit (hours, in this case), 8760 can have a huge difference. But all things being equal, Im a partner in a Management Consulting firm, and 8 hours of downtime per year is completely acceptable.

Braggot posted:What shared hosting company would be best to host a site with 30+ videos/screencasts? These aren't streamed from YouTube they would be hosted on the web server, probably 40mb per video. I know BounceWeb supports ffmpeg on their shared hosting plans, but I wouldn't really recommend them for anything professional.

mcsuede posted:They're definitely in the top of my initial research of shared hosts. Seem quite fast, great options. I'm sure they oversell like every shared host but oh well. I'm also thinking I could base the network on a shared host like HostGator and simply use cloud serving for media if the demand starts to spike before having to move to a full VPS solution. You'd be surprised how low the load reads, and it's on a 16 core server, then again I'm on one of the reseller servers.

Fangs404 posted:Signed up for Linode and migrated my MediaTemple site there today. I haven't done much web administration stuff under Linux before, but it was really easy and straightforward thanks to Linode's amazing documentation. I just got the base 512mb plan, and it's much faster than MT was. The flexibility of a VPS is awesome. If you enter your FTP info, it will still install the plugin tho.

Biowarfare posted:Hostable charges a non-refundable set up fee as well as its periodic service fee which in some cases may be refundable as further set forth elsewhere herein. Hostable charges an Annual Domain/DNS Maintenance Fee of $.17 per month per domain name, a Universal Internet Service (IPv6) Recovery Fee of $.07 per month per domain for Domain Only accounts and $.34 per month per domain for all other accounts, and a Wind Energy Surcharge of $.57 per month for all accounts except Domain Only accounts. Hostable may also charge you for Domain service fees and specifically reserves the right to institute additional charges upon notice to you. Hostable reserves the right to alter, change, amend or delete charges at its sole discretion. Hostable further reserves the right to institute new services and charge fees in association with the provision of such new services as it deems appropriate. Which means it's $0.15 cheaper to go with Lithium Hosting. I'm surprised goons are recommending things like this without reading the fine print. That's still just under $14 per year, which is a long way from $.03 per year, which the ad stats

Return Of JimmyJars posted:I apologize that we didn't update you on the progress but this is a pretty atypical situation. Unfortunately, these are the issues that consumers pay the most attention to. "If I have an 'out of the oridnary problem/atypical' it will take days to resolve, with no updates on the status of the ticket, or progress shown that the issue is currently and actively being worked on. But if I need a simple MX record changed, it will take 0.37 seconds" With good reasons, consumers need to pay more attention to how hosting companies handle "atypical" situations, not just how fast they respond to "hey i need this port opened."

Return Of JimmyJars posted:To be fair it takes about the same amount of time to get an EPP as it does to add an MX record. Our biggest hurdle was actually getting the drat things from GoDaddy which is part of the reason we're dropping them in the first place. I'll gladly accept fault for not keeping angryhamster posted but it's not really necessary to come on here and accuse of being deadbeats and holding domains hostage until people pay us for hosting. That's not something that we EVER been done and we've always done our best to be prompt to customer requests. Understood, and I agree. I always appreciate the goon run hosts who provide support/post on these forums in addition to regular ticket support. I guess it was just the implication of 'atypical problem = more time' thing. I've run into a few hosts like that, and when asked for a real technical support issue, you can tell you're just getting boiler plate/run around answers. And that usually implies incompetence.

divio is hax posted:Does anyone have any experience with the VPS hosting in the first post? I'm having difficulty understanding how the prices are determined. For example vps hosting like myhosting.com and vpsland.com are incredibly cheap - even when considering their windows server 2008 options... almost too cheap to be true. $20-30 prices for base packages. That is half what most everyone else charges. How are they getting away with this and what features would I be losing. FWIW I have a VPS through HostHop, which is also goon run (their thread is in the Mart), and have never had any problems. https://www.hosthop.com

I'm willing to bet that using their service in that manner is against the TOS, so you won't really have a leg to stand on. I could be wrong though.

Not to mention that the odds of his "private file sharing service" almost certainly distributed copyright protected files. Not only is it against their TOS, it's also illegal. Just trying to convey that you shouldn't be mad at Dreamhost. Dreamhost is a mediocre webhost at best anyways. Shared hosting is definitely not the place to run a  site though.
