Dedicated Web Hosting

wevolutions · Postby **wevolutions** » March 30th, 2010, 12:56 pm

Can anyone recommend a good web host providing vps or dedicated servers at a reasonable cost?

I have a few companies in mind but I will appreciate any other reviews from persons directly using their services.

Thank you.

Just Host and Hostmonster and most of the "unlimited" web hosts provide shared hosting. I was looking at dedicated hosting with a vps or dedicated server.

I see GoDaddy offers that service but i was wondering if anyone knew of any others.

Thank you.

Did some work with them a while back. Uptime and connectivity was excellent. Technical support was...well..."techy" (hopefully that might be different now).

rackspace has always been good to me...and their support is truly fanatical...

or you can try slicehost which is bought by rackspace last yr:
http://www.slicehost.com/

for most sites cloud hosting with RS is sufficient...and if you feel you need a bigger box...you can upgrade in seconds...

what you plan on doing on your dedicated box?...cause that will depend on if you should really get a VPS or a Dedicated Server.

for truly dedicated boxes....http://softlayer.com/ and rackspace are the best... thou i not sure if you can get an unmanaged Dedicated box with RS

if you don't mind google knowing everything about you and yuh big toe...

first 5million page views per mth is free

thou.. if you use GAE, you will need to configure your app to use BigTable as the DB. Its really best for Python/Java apps since there are alot of libraries out there to get you started...

again... i can't really advise you unless i know the context of what you trying to do...

Bandwidth is my main concern. I have shared hosting but my web host says that my website is getting too much traffic and using up too much resources, so I need to move to a vps or dedicated server. I do not want to go back to another web host offering shared hosting because I will end up in the same situation.

So far, hostgator recommended by bladett looks like an option I might consider. Thanks for the suggestion.

What is bandwidth/data transfer you are using in a month?

Right now, close to 1000GB per month.

GoDaddy has some good options also.

You can also check out www.claritywebhosing.com. I would not recommend a traditional VPS since you are sharing the hardware and the kernal with other users. With the general move to dedicated virtual servers market prices are dropping and customers can have more control of their environments.

"wevolutions"..... shouldn't you know that?? lol..... Y'all are the webmasters of http://www.trinicarsforsale.com and others right? :lol:

Anyway Justhost is the best shared hosting I've come across thus far, with much better rates than Godaddy. Plus Godaddy facks up when your payments slip. My cc expired two months and justhost kept on giving me warnings and even called my local phone to ask me whats up....

Thats why I chose and will recommend http://www.singlehop.com for dedicated hosting, cuz they're affiliated with and recommended by justhost.

Bizzare, i know about the different types of hosting, i was just looking for recommendations from people who use different hosting companies and their feedback from them. maybe you can refer back to my first post...

K..... well singlehop is who I'm with as stated above.

i aint know about that - i have dozens of sites with go daddy and get notifications months before a credit card expires or a domain or hosting account is cancelled

and when a card is expired and payments are overdue, they still keep the site active for one month after.. and even if the site is taken down allot of the time, if you make a payment asap they will reactivate the site without you loosing any data.. i have never had any issues with godaddy. ever

Hmm.... I had LOTS of issues with godaddy. And that "month" in which you're talking about, where its like a grace period, your website will not show your content but their ads. Don't know about you though. Probably only me suffered this fate.
Anything for a clients, I use justhost.com. How do you go about setting up your own server in terms of bandwidth providers locally. Is there a plan for that?? Flow, TSTT?
