How to test hosting companies?
Just awhile ago I started a thread that I was looking for a new hosting company. Lot of replies so far and some offers look attractive.
Is there a way I can test the performance of a host? Like scripts or programs I can run from my site or a third party site that will check the performance of a provider reliably?

You should search into different adult boards for good hosts, that's the best way to do it.

Hit me up on icq at 36837470 for a server under $200. I'll give you a free week to test it out. No problems.
Take care  |

You can start with an IP trace from your location and around the world. Ask for their uptime reports.
Download a speedtest file. Then email the host at all hours of the day and night, ask a shit load of relevant questions and by the time you're done you will have ruled out several of those seemingly attractive offers. Good luck . . . Quote:

finding a good host is more than just price.
find out who the big guys are using, check the pricing for the hardware and BW you need. run a traceroute to the host from multiple places in the world (very important) and time the composite results. some hosts just have more connectivity than others, and will actually be able to get to places other hosts can't reach. http://www.tracert.com/cgi-bin/trace.pl i.e. if most of your traffic (sales) are coming from USA and europe a host in eastern usa may be a good choice as it will minimize hops. be concerned if your host harbors email spammers, some of their ip addresses may be blocked and you might be blocked through no fault of your own. if two hosts are similar it will boil down to tech support, both speed in handling issues, or competence. (assuming you are on a managed server) that said, i can recommend 2 hosts i've had good experience with: hahahahahaha webair (so far the best i've ever had)
