Web hostings - EVERYONE who uses Apache - Step Inside Please!

[Iron Fist]

So I stumble across this graph... what is the deal with Zeus and if it's so great, why isn't every hosting provider offering it?

[Lycanthrope]

Because it is not free and few customers will spring for it.

[sandman!]

because most people are too cheap to pay for it ?

[Iron Fist]

So no hosting provider would spring for a virtual server using ZEUS and offset the costs that way to show how much better it is? I'm sure once a few customers had a taste of its performance, which offset the amount of hardware you would require - they would want a dedicated box with it installed

i know of a few that use lighspeed which is another alternative to apache similar to zeus but lightspeed dont like adult sites so you will never hear about it.

[Iron Fist]

I'm just curious to really see if its that much better than apache.

yes it is but most people rather spend the $60-$100 a month or whatever it costs on more ram or a quicker cpu

How much is Zeus?

[WiredGuy]

Free is good enough for most people.

How much is Zeus?

I searched their site and I couldn't find pricing anywhere... and when that happens you know it's going to be so bloody expensive that it's not worth it for small business...

[sandman!]

How much is Zeus?

around 1k for a single cpu server i think.

Holy shit... a grand?

Holy shit... a grand?

what did you think it was $50 or some shit like that ?

[qxm]

mmm ... we need a hosting provider to clarifiy the costs/benefits of Zeus over Apache..... and do they even offer it?.......

Couple hundred actually.... but still. That's way too steep considering the alternative.

i doubt any hosts that post here offer it since most people are used to apache and it being free and wont spend $$$$$ on a webserver.

[directfiesta]

Maybe for mainstream, but for adult there are not enough $$$ left on the table to even consider it.

Maybe Dreamhost could ....

[directfiesta]

and I once offered virtual accounts on a box with http://www.lighttpd.net/ , and got so much headaches that I took it offline.

Headaches were not from the software, but from a few clients that were always bitching.

We are not going to re-invent the wheel ....

[baddog]

So, if we added it to a virtual server, would you be willing to pay more?

[geedub]

word. apache will own forever
