    Hi

    i am currently hosting at Godaddy shared hosting, i want to move to virtual dedicated server. is it worth moving to godaddy virtual dedicated server ?

    the main reason is i get more traffic and i offen get mail from godaddy saying the website usage is more. and many other issues.

    All i want is a the website should load faster. and no other major issues..

    i have the website on Joomla CMS.

    does any one know where digitalpoint.com is hosted ?

    any suggestions are welcome..

    A quick whois lookup on the digitalpoint.com domain shows that it points to Omnis.com nameservers.

    Well, they can be good for registering domain names, not for hosting services.
    I believe that any reliable web hosting provider is able to meet your expectations in terms of VPS hosting service.

    Guyz,,, thanks.. for the reply..

    cool... http://www.omnis.com/ must be best... coz DP has more hits and i see the server responds fast too...

    hmm.. i saw omnis.com. im confused... i see only Linux / windows choice... so is this similar to Shared hosting ? or its equal to Virtual server ?

    i dont see any details spec regarding the hosting service like other providers.
    i have many doubts now... what panel do they have ? what script supported ? can i host many domains? etc.. etc..(most common questions)

    i dont really understand, can any one explain "Cloud Web Hosting" ???

    does any one have experience hosting at omnis.com ? please share..

    Are we sure this site is hosted at omnis? The tracert and IP are showing it belongs to NetHere Inc., http://www.nethere.net
    Maybe they're just using omnis for DNS or such?

    I got it by doing a simple tracert. Omnis (at least according to the WHOIS) is just the domain registrar. There is absolutely nothing that points to digitalpoint being hosted with omnis.com. The site goes to v198.sndg-cr-1.nethere.net [66.63.128.40] and then iconofcoil.digitalpoint.com [216.9.35.60] for the forum, and crystalmethod.digitalpoint.com [216.9.35.56] for the main site. All those IPs are owned by nethere and the tracert confirms it.

    I have no idea where people are coming up with omnis.com.

    http://www.toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://digitalpoint.com and it looks like it is Omnis.com
    Anyway, you can't compare a small website you host on a shared server with sites like DP. DP will be hosted on cloud servers or on multiple dedicated servers with load balancing etc. DP must be spending thousands on USD per month.

    In your case, you will have to analyse whether you need a VPS or a dedicated sever, based on your load / traffic. Moving from a shared server to simple VPS may not be sufficient. Rather than thinking which host, think what configuration first.
