How to choose the correct web hosting company

eranet — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:02:45 -0700

What to look for

How long has there domain been registered?
This is almost always the first thing you want to look at when even considering a web host. Always view there public information and check there registration date. Just because there website has pretty colors and says they host over 500,000 domain names dont mean they honestly do.

I checked the public whois information and it shows the information is private?
This in my opinion is a big NO NO! That would scratch that web host off of my list immediately no matter how long his/her domain has been registered. There is one reason and one reason only why a persons domain name information is not publicly shown. They have something to hide! Move on to the next host in question.

Google has the answer to almost everything.
The next thing you want to do is search Google for reviews on this web host. Keep in mind that nobody can please every single client. There is almost a 100% guarantee that every web host will have at least one bad mark on there record. Just keep looking, go about 5 to 10 pages into your Google search. Some of the search terms you may want to consider using are:

Hostsdomaininquestion Scams
Hostsdomaininquestion Reviews
Hostsdomaininquestion RipOff Report
Hostsdomaininquestion Webhostingtalk

This will result in a little bit of time spent, but if your time is worth your money, it is highly suggested to do this with each web host your considering paying for services.

Dont let pretty colors sidetrack you.
Just because there website looks professional, dont mean they are. Have you ever heard the saying "dont judge a book by it cover?" This is very true in your situation. It is very important that you dont buy from them just because they "paid" someone to build there design.

Test there support team.
Go ahead, click that live chat button that is on there website. Go to there client support desk and submit a ticket. Test out how fast they answer you. No matter what your question is, no question is to dumb. When they answer you back, ask them a few technical questions. See how they answer it.

Call the number!
Do you see that 1800 or 1866 number at the top of there website? Go ahead and call it! See if they answer. Speak with them for a few moments and see how professional and knowledgeable they sound. Be sure to test them on the phone with a few hard questions you have put together before you call them.

Purchase the small plan first.
Most web hosts offer more then one plan. If you can, purchase the smallest cheapest plan first just to test out there services. You can ALWAYS upgrade at a later date. Why? Because if you get ripped of by the host, its only a few dollars in comparison to a 20 or 30 dollars.

Never pay yearly
This is solely up to you, but in my opinion you should never ever pay yearly. Anything can happen at anytime. No matter how long the web host has been online. When a web host goes offline they are trying to save as much money as possible. Chances are they are going to forget about refunding the 400 dollars you paid them for the rest of the year. If you take a look at there terms of services, a lot of them will probably say "Yearly payments are non refundable".

Read there Terms of Services
This is one of the most important things you can do, and you will thank yourself for doing it. There may be a lot of stuff to read but its always worth your money. Make sure you find there terms of services and read them! Understand them! Follow Them! This will save you from getting into something that you have a hard time getting out of.

Unlimited Dont Exist.
Nothing is unlimited, no matter how much you pay for it. A web host cannot provide you with unlimited disk space. I dont care if you are the only person on the server and that server has 10TB of hard drive space. Chances are there is a limit set in there terms of services that is not posted in there package details.

Dont be fooled by unmetered
A lot of web hosts have made the switch from unlimited to unmetered. Im not sure if they think its less frowned upon or what. It typically means the same thing. The host isnt paying attention to how much space you are using. But i can promise they are paying attention to how many resources you are using. Again this set limit is usually able to be found in there terms of services.

There are so many different things you need to watch out for when looking for a new web host. These are just some of the simple things that can save you money. If you follow this guide i can promise you it will save you from being ripped off or scammed. I will add to this as i come up with some more stuff to add in there for you guys. If you have something to add to this post, please be sure to add it. If i like what i see i will edit the post and add it in here for others to read along with the rest of the stuff that i posted. I hope this helps out at least one person from paying a web host that will be gone when they wake up the next morning. Good luck in your web hosting search, and remember.......

Do the research, take the time, ask questions and save your money in the end.]]>

What makes a server load websites faster?

eranet — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 23:43:36 -0700

I am a webdeveloper who has recently deployed a large eCommerce website. The server we have is of a fairly high spec :

CPU : Intel Xeon E3-1240
3.3GHz Quad-Core,
8 Threads & 8MB Cache

Ram : 8GB DDR3 1333MHz

100Mbit connection

The website is built in asp net and uses SQL Server Express

What we are finding is that locally our page load times are half a second but on the server it is 4 - 5 seconds. Im struggling to get an answer from the hosting company as to what we can do to improve this (website is optimised as much as possible).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!]]>

the perfect hosting setup - cannot find hosts (-_-)

sentientsystem — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:31:27 -0700

website-reviews/site-review-you-are-whiny-t108158.html

BWM referred me to this:
hosting/

im looking for the most economically feasible hosting solution possible, for a low budget startup.

my needs are as such:

* 2 dedicated servers with at LEAST 8gb RAM and at LEAST 500gb HDD and at LEAST a 4-core 64-bit CPU running on fedora 16 (or higher) or ubuntu 12 (or higher)
* 2 (dedicated or shared-but-lightly-loaded) servers with less memory and cpu, but UNLIMITED (or a LOT) of storage space (typically only found on "shared" hosts)
* 1 of each server-type must be in the united states
* 1 of each server-type must be in europe or asia - PREFERABLY in eastern europe or western asia or the middle east
* need to be VERY affordable

not asking for much, right? lmao (-_-)

the 2 powerful servers will be used to process videos and images (transcoding and resizing), and the result will be pushed onto the storage servers. having every thing split between 2 locations ensure high speed delivery and ~load-balancing for the entire world. i can live with both WORKER servers being in the U.S., but i MUST have at least 1 STORAGE server in asia or europe.

i do not mind using multiple hosts - i EXPECT that. would you guys happen to recommend any place? ive googled this for a long time and its REALLY hard to find a good place in europe or asia, because im SEARCHING from the united states. i found one GREAT host in germany, but they accept EVERY ONE else except americans - go figure (-_-).

i have considered colocation, but, it may not be as cost effective in the beginning, because id still need STORAGE solutions, and would have to BUY all the parts for the 2 WORKER servers.

thanks in advance]]>

i already tried ordering transfer in namecheap 2 times, but still failed, its says

QUOTE:

the EPP/authorization key should be right, i only copy paste it directly from email page to namecheap transfer page
screenshot the EPP/authorization key are received to my email :

Note About lock
Here are screenshot of General settings page in enomcentral, you can see Registrar-Lock is disabled, i already do this few weeks a go

but i tried do whois check in domaintools.com today, its says still Locked, it is true or not, its should be says Unlocked

please help what is the solutions guys?

As the title suggests i would like to learn how to point a parked domain to another website hosted in a different directory on my paid hosting server.

Here are the circumstances, i have a paid hosting and a domain, i also got a second free domain and a second website. I would like to host the second website files in a different directory then the one in which i host my main website. Than i want to park that second free domain in this server, and make a sort of redirect to point it to that second folder. How do i do that? How do i tell that second parked domain to display files from that second directory?

Thank you a lot.]]>
