Had anyone hackproofed your systems yet? If you use windows, I doubt it...


-- Posted by davjs at 5:05 pm on Nov. 29, 2004

We do not use windows.

There is no such thing as "hackproof"..... the best thing is "hack resistant".  Don't let your self feel compleatly safe with any operating system with any firewall you have.

Wil it go down as much as LW?

Just joking, sorry to see the problems of the last weekend...


-- Posted by Bball 06 to 24 at 1:03 pm on Dec. 28, 2004

That is where I get my hosting, and I looked for cheaper but could not find any cheaper hosting. So I am a satisfied customer.


-- Posted by Chaytor at 9:39 am on Jan. 31, 2005

See my hosting site, got pretty cool graphics if you wanna take some ideas off it, and offers years subscription for only $10

 Suppose I don't have a paypal account or credit card or anything like that,  is it possible to send the fee via mail, like donating?  If so, I might just use this.


-- Posted by ckings6056 at 3:57 am on Mar. 10, 2005

http://www.lucidnet.com - better. lol.


-- Posted by Flammenmeer at 9:33 pm on Mar. 12, 2005

Woah, I haven't seen a better deal than my friend's webhosting company until I saw Lucidnet.  They're awesome!  Valuewise, that is, dunno how their quality is like.

-- Posted by maddhadder66 at 6:44 pm on Mar. 20, 2005

www.1and1.com

my bf works there... the services are about the same price but you get more...

*shrugs*

maybe thatll help you... or someone else


-- Posted by techpronow at 7:05 pm on Mar. 20, 2005

I would suggest looking at this website:

http://www.whois.sc/1and1.com

1and1.com hosts over 100 websites on their main server.

I would be concerned about bottle-neck bandwidth problems.

Any sever with more than 50 websites is questionable, and would take some research as to the deliverability of thier promised service.

This is www.hostrue.net's profile.

http://www.whois.sc/hostrue.net

That server only has 12 websites contained on it, and it is who we use.  We are resellers for them too.

I pay $32.99 per month for 10/100 GBs.  Unlimited accounts.

go to 1877go1and1 and find out everything..

-100 clients
-18,000 gb connection
-free 24/7 support
- cheapest domains
-13 year history
-25,000 servers
-over 3 million costumers world wide


whois tells a good amount... but not everything...

anyways i dont wanna make this into an arguement, its just a know 1and1 is a good company..

ciao


-- Posted by techpronow at 1:58 am on April 14, 2005

You could very well be right.

I also suggest:  www.dnsstuff.com

Using that site, you can test ping times, and response problems, as well as DNS issues.

www.internetseer.com tells you about uptime, it's a free internet monitor.

100 website's on 1 server just seems like an aweful lot of bandwidth being used.

I have JUST setup a reseller account with novelhosting and I feel the need to write here and tell people quite how cool it is....and before you ask, no I have not been paid to do this (I wish). I asked them loads of questions via email and I got all the replies within 4hours, sometimes within a few mins, so I think its safe to say their customer support is up to scratch. The feature list that is in the first post and on their site does not really do justice to what they have added to the hosting plans (might I add, it seems you get everything with each type of account). I spent this morning going through all the "auto install" scripts and I have to say, I would love to be as good at finding them as they are, as they have all been very good, its even at the point where I get a choice  for different scripts like forums and blogs....there are 4 blogs and 2 forums(and some more forums in the CMS section). I have to say, all in all, I and really happy, and haven’t had a problem yet *fingers crossed*

thanks

yeh I agree Novell Hosting is working very nicely for us except we are having trouble with running perl


-- Posted by Bball 06 to 24 at 11:55 pm on July 9, 2005


We'll Beat Any Advertised Price

Yes, we will beat any advertised directly comparable hosting package which is offered by a legitimate company by 10%. The advertised hosting plan must be available to all who wish to order it and it must continue without increase in price. Contact sales@novelhosting.com prior to ordering your hosting package take advantage of this discount.


Something lots of you are missing.

Perl works perfectly. I know that because I use PERL with them 24/7.


-- Posted by squirellplayingtag at 7:19 pm on Oct. 18, 2005

A coworker just signed up with them and as the webdesigner I just poked around a little. Pure bliss. As pleaseremove said, the support is up to par. I've gotten responses in under 14 hours. And they do beat any price by 10%! This is what swayed my decision since I do have a source who had a better deal, but novel matched the site, even though to sign up for the site you have to email the owner (not ideal), which is superb. I'm more then pleased so far!


-- Posted by tigerdude16 at 10:22 am on Oct. 22, 2005

Is the $19 one,kind of like this website,where I can be the administrator and people can join,and stuff like that?

I have used many hosts in the past and I am currently happy with godaddy.com if anyone is looking for a alternate. They let you have a custom php ini and run php4 and php5 so you can use php5 of any areas of the site you wish, whilst keeping your existing php4 sites working (or even the free scripts and paid - most not ready for php5 yet)

$4 a month gets you:

Economy Plan:
• 5 GB Space  
• 250 GB Transfer
• 500 Email Accounts  
• FREE! Software
• 10 MySQL Databases  
• 50 Email Forwards
• Forums, Blogging, Photo Galleries  
• No ads

They also offer windows and linus for the same prices. I am on the highest plan which also came with a free SSL cert,  and I have never had such a quick install on a cert.

If you google godaddy vouchers or offers its often possible to find a 20% off voucher.

NEVER USE:
MI HOST. They give away too much and the server cannot handle it. High server load, slow loads.
HOSTSUPREME: Undescribably horrific. Their MySQL was down for 2 months  (with a few seconds uptime) and they sold their phone number, never answered my snail mail letters. They were also never on live or msn support and never accepted emails as their inbox sent auto cannot be delivered errors as their boxes were full.

ohh god the hosting plans are damn expencive


-- Posted by dragonking at 6:13 pm on Sep. 11, 2006

That sounds interesting.  I don't know about some of the things you mentioned in the more expensive ones.  I am going to have a free webhosting thing for when I upload my html and flash portfolio websites.  I have to do it for my web class in college but also to get work too.

Arvixe.com
Used them for years for myself, clients, and previous clients.  Highly recommend their services
