Dreamhost Down Again... Who Can Setup Me Up With a Competitive Deal?
 

Okay, so DreamHost is down again. Anybody have any competitive deal? Plus, if any host has a script that will copy over all my files/sql/php stuff, that'd be even better.

I'm done with them, three times it's been down in a week. It's affecting sales and I need to do something about it. Thanks guys

Hi, if you get a chance contact me on ICQ I may be able to help you.

there's a reason why dreamhost is as cheap as they are...you get what you pay for. don't expect any competitive offers from any solid reliable hosts.

I understand, I'm expecting to pay over $120 a month, so I know what I can get. If anyone has any suggestions of a reliable host, let me know. Thanks

hey dude i really hope you arent talking about a dreamhost virtual account. If yuo really want to make money get a dedicated server with any of the hosting companies that are on gfy.
hit up sly from phatservers
or mike from webair
and its easy peasy lemon squezy to transfer over yer shit

i wouldnt go with a virtual account for any site that has over 100 uniques, heh but thats just me

yea i know that dude, we just grew quick and need to move asap. i'll hit them up, have always heard good things about both webair and phatservers. good looking out bro

Fuck You Are Right!!!!

Goddamn It.


Thats Too Many Times For Me.

I Have 20 Domains On Dh That Don't Make Tons Of Money But Enough To Keep Them Somewhere.

Fuck It, I Need A Ded Box Now.

Yea man, it's ridiculous over there. Too many fucking times for sure.

There is nothing wrong with virtual accounts, depending on what you are doing. If script intensive, then maybe not best option, but if not, nothing wrong with virtuals.

Not all companies are the same.


And no, I am never going to compete for their customers. Not my target market.

I can get you a server for that price if you want to hit me up and talk I can have you up by morning.

I will sell you a dedicated, $149 no set up.

I'm going with SplitInfinity, Joel is the man!

It was planned maintenance.

btw, baddog I'm working on a reply to your questions right now

Well it was badly timed because they know they've been down twice in the last week without any warning. They even sent me an email apologizing, which wound up being a mass-email they sent to everyone.

Sometimes when there is am outage temporary fixes are made to restore service. Then you have to come back and do it right which causes more downtime.

As far as being upset about a mass email . . . would you rather not get one?

www.webair.com or www.yellowfiber.net both rock solid for me

webair is a good alternative

Baddog, don't lose your time.

They believe that their sites on a dedicated Celeron with 512 ram is way better than their sites on a virtual on a dual xeon with 4 gigs of Ram and Scsi drives.

On the other hand, they expect to pay for the virtual specs LESS then the dedicated specs. Go figure.

Yeah, years ago I got burned on a dedicated box. I got off a virual host that was serving up 1000's of galleries with no problem. I put then on a dedicated box that was shit and my sites died.

Just because it's dedicated doesn't mean it's got enough power.

I went from paying what.. 60 a year to paying 720 a year and my sales have gone through the roof. Unless your watching your sites 24x7, you'll never really know how much Dreamhost goes offline - it was a REAL eye opener.

I logged into my control panel the other day and they are giving 10TB of data transfer? Puhleeze.... if the server could stay online for more than 20 minutes, and wasn''t overloaded to the teeth then MAYBE you could squeeze a TB a month out of it... but 10? Will someone please sue them for dishonest advertising?

ICQ 8-898-053 If you want more info...

100 uniques a day? Your kidding right? :helpme

go dedicated

he is not kidding ... he is just a parrot repeating what sounds good to be a top-notch standup bro ....

This site ( WordPress ) is on one of my virtual machine :

Maybe I should hire a few cheerleaders sigwhores ....

please explain...

What would YOU choose :

Dedicated Celeron, 512, 80 gig ide, 1000 gb/month ( while you need only 300 )
(99.00 )
or

Virtual on Dual Xeon, 4 gigds ECC ram, scsi 15K rpm, 30 gigs space , 350 gb bandwith, Control Panel
(40.00 )

Now explain again .....

Talk to webair and they will hook you up with a better deal for dedicated :)

sig whore... doesn't even read .... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

oh but i am a top notch stand up bro. Im just saying that personally, i would much rather get a good dedicated box. When i started off, i went with 3 different virtual hosts and i have had terrible experiences with them so i took the dive and got a dedicated box, problems solved. Not saying anything is wrong with your bro approved virtual host, just personally id would not go back to hosting on a virtual account.

See sig

The problem is too many hosts share their IP's on virtual servers and stuff as many people on them as they possibly can. Of course, they have to in order to be able to sell at the rates they do.

If any of you are still looking for a solution... let me know. I am up and around for the day to wheel and deal.

www.Phatservers.com

ip of nakedhosting is down:

204.15.255.132

Checking HTTP server www.ccccccc.info [204.15.255.132]
Error connecting to HTTP server www.xxxxx.info [204.15.255.132] port 80 : timed out waiting for connection

Has been many times this week .... My client want to stay there, so it is his problem...

still down ..... :thumbsup to the host.

While in theory are are basically correct, but there are some major factors you are leaving out such as, How many idiots are on that better server? how many bogus scripts are each of the idiots trying to run? How much traffic at any given time is each user using? the list goes on as to whay a dedicated is much better if it is specked nicely and the price is competitive. Also no matter what any host offers some people here especially the newbs are simply looking for the cheapest hosting available with no regards for anything else (support, quality etc...) simply the lowest price. Then the morons start a thread like this one crying that their 4 dollar virtual host is down again......:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

quoted for truth

I agree with most of that .. This is why overselling host are awfull .. what amazes me is that they manage to convert an unsastified client into a dedicated client ( still unsastified ).

But lets leave the hosting business aside for a while ... and get into the restaurant business....

We all know that some places offer ' all you can eat ' food.... Now are they all shit? No. The ones charging the low dollars end up serving shit and very little of it. You have to wait in line to get finally nothing. Then there are a few places that charge more, have more food ( ressources ) and will replenish as required ( upgrade their servers ) .... but it is still a buffet.

You can always go to a restaurant and order ' a la carte ' ... Great.

But don't go to a McDonald ( that is a budget dedicated ) and expect the value of either a quality virtual or decent dedicated .... :2 cents:

BTW, I recsheduled the install of script of my client for next wednesday at 3:00 PM. It cost him 50.00 tonight for nothing ....

Nice reading boss:thumbsup The sad thing is that most newbs here eat at McDonalds and even then trey to use coupons..:1orglaugh Then complain when the big mac is nasty, cold, and soggy and not even worth the $2.99 they paid.:1orglaugh

Anyone from SplitInfinity on right now? Joel hasn't been replying to ICQ since I first contacted him.

You contacted him today ?

Maybe I am mistaking, But I read and heard that Joel is no longuer with SplitInfinty ....

If I am mistaking, please accept my apologies. Could be someone else ...

$2.99 for a Big Mac? Do you go to the McDonald's at the Staples Center or something?

Last I knew, Joel hasn't been with Split for several months now. You shouldn't be depending on him for support as I'm sure he was just lending a recommendation. Try sending Split a message directly for any assistance that you may need.

Hey Sly, if I were to signup with PhatServers, do you guys offer anything that will copy over all my files? I don't know if the boxes are managed or not.

Thanks

Hehe absolutely man. We will move everything over for you. And all of our packages are fully manage. And I live online, so if anyone seriously has a problem getting in touch with someone from Phatservers... they must be doing something wrong. :-)

If you accept that you get what you pay for, and you're tired of dealing with jerks, go with a host you can trust, that delivers on their promises: www.mojohost.com, contact Brad.

Hey man hows it going? If you ever have a problem contacting me you can reach me anytime on my cell at 619-395-5229.

Left you a msg on icq hit me up bro.

amen man, phat rocks, even though im not with them anymore (not because of bad reasons), i'll still promote the shit out of them, they are good solid company, sly and moose were always there within 10 mins of an email/aim/icq to answer any questions, and at the time i was just a measly $19.95/mo customer

Phatservers gets :thumbsup:thumbsup
