Hosting Options

Nick Momrik4 Comments

A few days ago I posted about needing dedicated server hosting and ever since I’ve been doing research. There is so much to compare. So many opinions. The decision is overwhelming.

Right now I’m looking at a dedicated server from Server Matrix and paying Fast Server Management to manage the server for me. I’m not comfortable with all of the Unix security and don’t want to become an expert at it anyways. I’ve also thought about getting a managed server from 1&1. 1&1’s prices are unbeatable and Server Matrix looks top notch, but costs more overall.

I’ve looked into VPS and reseller hosting, but neither seem to fit my needs. I need want at least 500-1000 GB of data transfer (more is always better), a few GB of storage space, the ability to host multiple domains, and then all of the other basics of a web host. As I see it, I need a dedicated for the bandwidth and it would be nice to have the added extras. I can always lease out some of the space on the server to people that want to run a small site.

If anyone has any suggestions, definitely let me know!

Dedicated Server Hosting

Does anyone know of a good company to get a dedicated server to host my sites? I have some new projects in the works and shared hosting just won’t cut it anymore. 1&1 has some good pricing on dedicated servers, but I have a free account through them and I hate their Control Panel and the fact that I need they use different usernames for everything. One for FTP, another for MySQL, others for email, etc. I love my current host, Aplus.net, but they won’t do any type of price matching for me, so it looks like I’ll have to make a switch.

I’m not looking for anything super special. I want a good processor, decent HD space, a lot of bandwitdh…pretty much all the basics.

Suggestions?

Free Web Hosting

I don’t know how they are doing it, but a company called 1&1 is offereing a special promotion giving out 3 years of web hosting for free to those who sign up. I have signed up and moved my momrik.com domain over to their site. Everything is all setup and I’m able to access my site already. Some of you may not be able to access it for another day or two until the DNS entries are updated across the Internet.

My advice is to sign up for this promotion and get the free hosting. I know about 5 people who have signed up already. Happy surfing.

I planned to get some pictures up on my site this weekend, but that isn’t going to happen. I ordered a new digital camera and it was delivered today, but our leasing office closed early today (for their x-mas party) and I didn’t get there in time to pick it up. What are the chances!
