Hello, Looking for web hosting company that will help me. I have a web site and about 2,000 visitors per day. Old web hosting can not stand (the name of the company will tell you later). Now looking for a new web hosting company that will switch my account. Can I pay by credit card. At the same time if possible ask for the first 7 days of test. If your reseller or VPS is OK after 7 days I will pay montly +10$ for that 7 days. Thank you and this we urgently needed. For every day I lose $ 10-20 since the website is down.
No vps would give you a trial due to the risk and the work it takes to get a VPS up and running. But it seems like you get get a decent amount of income from your site. You should have some saved up to get a host with a reliable provider.
If you buy a cheap web host than its obvious that your site will be down. So, better buy a good web host like Hostgator. - Mr.President -
I understand the risk part, but I am wondering about the amount of time it takes to set-up a VPS - just out of interest. I work for a Windows host and setting up a VPS is nothing more complicated than clicking a button. We have a self-service portal that our clients can log into and select from a number of templates (Server 2003 R2 32-bit or 64-bit, and Server 2008 32-bit or 2008 R2 64-bit) and have them installed automatically onto their VPS (takes 3-5 minutes to complete). It will even install onto server clusters and centralized storage if their VPS includes these services. They can remove the VPS and install any other template they want at any time, plus start, stop, pause, backup, or connect remotely all through the portal. OK, it took a lot of work to put everything together and create the templates, but its all pretty much automated now. Access to the portal and templates is provided free to the clients with their VPS. I always assumed that Linux would have been ahead of Windows in this type of automation. Aren't there similar systems available for Linux? Or are the systems that are available so expensive that it doesn't make economic sense? I never have much to do with Linux so I'm genuinely interested in what is out there for Linux regarding VPS central control and management. My interest is partly driven by MS increasing the SPLA licensing cost in 2011 to over £200 per server running VPSs on their datacentre edition. Linux is starting to look interesting from a financial perspective as MSs cost increase will have to be passed onto customers and at a time when hosting costs are decreasing I can't see any price increase going down well.
Hm, saved... first my old hosting tell me is problem with credit card, and i payed via western union one month. Next they tell haveing problems with server. And they tell refound me lost money... but past 5 days i not recive money back from my host.
THen you should do a bit more research on the host before you go with them - I wouldn't recommend paying with WU because there isn't any way to chargeback (not to my knowledge at least)
Hm, my old company is one of... "big company" they have about 20.000 costumers... but they not have servers or nathing... all is lie...
What's their name? Feel free to PM me the name if you would rather not release it publicly. If it's a big company that's an established business then there should be a way to get your money back one way or another. Shouldn't be any excuse they why they didn't refund it.
I would probably read their TOS, most companies (like WHMCS for example) if you paid twice, they'll apply it as credit to your account (to pay the next month or whatever). Anyrate, I highly suggest and praise www.fazewire.com since they hold one of my colocated servers and have been awesome with support anytime I need it.
Most of the reseller companies claim unlimited bandwidth and disk space, but 99% of them failed to provide. I did tried with a lot of of companies, and finally i get satisfaction with heartinternet, its uk based firm. You can give it a shot, hopefully you will get good result.
I wouldn't say "most" resellers promote unlimited space and bandwidth - a lot of them, but not the majority. But usually the new companies that try to compete with sites like HG end up failing as you said.
