.Org Domain Price to Rise 10 Percent

Tue, 13 May 2008 00:00:00 EST
May 13, 2008 -- ( <http://www.thewhir.com> WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- According to reports released this week, Public Interest Registry, the company that operates the .org domain, is planning to raise prices for .org domains by 10 percent this year.

My Portuguese is rough - But I like UOL

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:43:00 -0400

Last week Universo Online S.A. (UOL) acquired the "clients" of web hosting company Digiweb, also of Sao Paulo, Brazil. In November, UOL also acquired the web hosting "clients" of Plug In another Brazilian firm.

The importance: UOL is now the third-largest provider of web-hosting services company in Brazil.

UOL did not mention the "third largest" part after the Plug In acquisition --- letting me believe that Digiweb was a fairly large deal.

I check out UOL - Basically an Internet/media powerhouse. They are vertical, horizontal, diagonal and the karma sutra all rolled into one. You really have to read the corporate bio --- Brazilian portal with 1.4 billion page-views a month, 1.7 million content paying subscribers, 1 million broadband customers…and now the THIRD LARGEST web hosting company in Brazil (Which I may add has a population of 184 million).

They want to collect the tolls on the electronic highway...including all entrances and exits. Someone has to collect.

The UOL financials…some great info…

• My favorite part: "The Company had no outstanding loans or financings at the end of the 4Q07". (Same position as Microsoft)
• They have a lot of cash - $284 million USD.
• 2007 EBITDA - $91.8 million USD - a fantastic 29% of net revenues.
  

The largest shareholder (41%) is the San Palo newspaper owner Folhapar.

UOL stock has dropped some 60% in the past 12 months...but the one thing I know about newspapers, they are long term players with long term visions.

And the movie Brazil...

General Impression

IX Web Hosting has been in business since 1999 and has recently made a
remarkable appearance with the opening of their new data center in Hopkinsville,
KY.

With a highly professional website and very attractive hosting plans, they have
managed to be added to the list of companies that web-hosting-top.com is
reviewing. As the months passed by, IX WebHosting continuously improved its
performance in both reliability and customer service, resulting in extremely
quick loading websites and high customer satisfaction and consequently mastered
to be rated by our review team.



With over 170.000 domains hosted is more then obvious their value!





Price & Cost Effectiveness

IX Web Hosting's plans give you an excellent value. Regardless of your needs,
their plans allow you to save money right away - but the savings are even
greater if you need to host multiple domain names. Their billing cycles run from
quarterly, semi-annual to annual and 2-year billing cycles, the choice is yours
on most plans. The longer the billing cycle, the higher the discount that is
provided.



When hosting more than one domain name (multiple domain names or sub domains),
you can host them all on a single plan (Expert Plan and higher). You will save a
great deal of money since there are no fees at all for adding, removing, or
changing hosted domains and subdomains. You can manage it in real-time via the
control panel.



There was not a single billing issue with any of our anonymous test accounts, we
have always been treated with great respect and fairness. There were no over- or
unexpected extra on any of our hosting accounts. What is more important - when
we requested a refund for 2 accounts, we were granted a full refund without
questions asked. 100% money-back - including setup fees. An impressive approach
towards customer satisfaction.



They will help you with CGI scripts, upload problems, even if you don't know how
to use FrontPage - we were assisted kindly via telephone and their Live Chat
service. This is an important aspect for a web master maintaining multiple
websites, as for a busy website, there is a constant need to change your site's
content and scripts used. Where else can you get 200,000MB web space for
$3.95/mo, or unlimited disk space with multi domain hosting for $12.95/mo,
paired with a zero-risk 100% money back guarantee.





Reliability

During our extensive hosting experience with IX Web Hosting, we have had hardly
any server outages. It would be a lie to say none of our 23 anonymous test
accounts have never been down - however, the uptime track record for our test
accounts is impressive.



The question is not IF downtime happens, the question is when it happens and how
quickly your hosting company can resolve the problem. Quick problem resolution
is a must, so your site will be back online in no time.



Our overall reliability experience with IX Web Hosting is positive. They claim
to provide 99.9% uptime for all hosted accounts and they have a guarantee on
their website proving their track record. We had 100% uptime for the majority of
hosted accounts, however - 2 out of 23 accounts only had an uptime of 99.2% due
to a server glitch. The glitch was resolved quickly (within 90 minutes), however
the uptime amount of these two accounts did not reach 99.9% this month. After
inquiring with their billing department, we have been reimbursed for the
downtime that occurred with two free months of hosting service. We found this to
be an adequate compensation for 60 minutes of downtime.





Data Center (toured)

As the title indicates, we have personally visited and "examined" IX Web
Hosting's data center. The importance of doing that is obvious. You might have
heard of the "story" that 80% or more of the web hosts are just resellers, and
another 10% are just co-locating in some other data center, without direct
physical access to the machines. Unfortunately, that story is plain reality. We
have personally verified that IX Web Hosting's data center facility actually
exists by paying them a visit in Hopkinsville, KY. As the 16th data center we
visited, it was a rather pleasant surprise that they actually HAVE the equipment
they list on their website, as well as the security mechanisms, firewalls and
CISCO state of the art routers.



IX Web Hosting currently employs five redundant fiber-optic loops to connect
their data center. The fiber-optic connectivity is provided by Bell South,AT&T,
Verizon and 2x bandwidth is redundantly served by Qwest Communications. They are
currently busy upgrading their connectivity for future expansion.





Customer Service

In my entire career as professional web master, I have never seen more
responsive and technically sound support staff. I am thoroughly impressed by the
technical skills of the IX Web Hosting customer care team.



Regardless of which artificially created problem I have prompted them with,
everything was resolved within 24 hours: PASIV FTP issues, CGI scripts with
programming errors, PHP coding issues, ASP ODBC database connectivity, MSSQL
Enterprise Manager troubles, domain-lock and expiration tricks - we were not
able to fool them.



The support provided can be rated as above excellent, especially the 24 / 7 LIVE
CHAT feature. We have submitted a total of 450 support requests so far in the
past several months, and on 400 requests the response has immediately solved our
problem. The other tickets had to be reworked to send more details to the
technician. We called in via Live Chat at 3am and 5am EST several times and our
requests were answered promptly and courteously. Unlike other hosts, IX Web
Hosting is providing It is a true 24 / 7 chat service.





Control Panel

The basis of their control panel is H-Sphere, however IX Web Hosting's
programmer staff have modified it heavily. Both LINUX and WINDOWS hosting based
accounts are provided and the control panel functions flawlessly with accounts
on both platforms. The control panel they provide allows you to add, remove and
manage your domain names, subdomains, FTP accounts, email accounts, mailing
lists, auto responders, email aliases, MIME Types, Apache Indexes, PHP / ASP
configuration, mySQL, PostgreSQL and MSSQL databases, SQL database users,
cancelling and resuming your subscription and reporting trouble tickets from one
interface. In addition to the comprehensive functionality listed above, they
also offer an online file manager, an web design program called Site Studio as
well as Web Mail. All these features along with the senseful customizations IX
Web Hosting's programming department has applied to the control panel software
have made us rate this category with an astounding 100%.

You will find now a brand new billing system, outstanding from all points of
view.



The usage of the control panel it's self is very fast and reliable. The
administration of your whole account is very user-friendly and IX Web Hosting
provides an extensive customer guide with detailed explanations on how to use
your hosting account.

Tyan S5372 i5000VS

Tue, 29 Aug 2006 12:27:13 -0400

The latest buzz in the datacenter & server markets these days can be summed up as: Woodcrest.

Woodcrest is Intel's code-name for their newest Dual Core Xeon processor - which boasts two CPU cores on 1 chip, 4MB of shared cache, a claim of 40% better performance with a 40% reduction in power used. Wow. To every datacenter-centered person that is a dream come true. With the rising power & cooling costs, increasing performance and reducing power is essential.

With the latest reviews on hardware websites showing that these new chips blow away the competition in almost every area, we decided to use the new Woodcrest processor in a new reseller web hosting server that we're bringing online.

The first job was finding a Woodcrest process that would provide enough power & not bankrupt us (some of these Woodcrest CPUs are in the $1000 arena!)... we chose the Intel 5130 Dual Core Xeon. Then the going got tough.

MotherBoard
All of the Woodcrest motherboards that we could find were in the $300 - $500 range. We chose the Tyan S5372 i5000VS dual Woodcrest motherboard - it looked like a good choice.

RAM
Of course the new Woodcrest CPUs & motherboards require FB-DIMM DDR2 (that is Latin for: expensive)... loading the machine 4 with 4G of RAM was a tad expensive...

CASE
We use 2U cases from an excellent provider called ServerCase.com
Luckily we keep spare cases because they ship from California and it can take up to a week to get a case to us on the East Coast.

THE RESULTS
Thanks to 3 day shipping methods, our parts were delivered very quickly. We started to build the server and ran into 3 issues:
Problem 1) The new motherboards screw holes didn't line up with the 2U ATX case from ServerCase.com .. .there were 3 brackets coming up from the bottom of the case for screws, but there were no holes on the motherboard. Needless to say that is bad.... what to do? We don't want to wait to buy another case and delay the building process.
Solution: We used a drill to drill through the bottom of the case and remove the 3 offending metal brackets

Problem 2) The motherboard requires a EPS12V / SSI (24 + 8) power supply - our spares were all 24 + 4... damn. There's no way around this, we zip back over to ServerCase.com and order 2x (always need a spare, right?) I-Star Dual xeon power supplies & that is resolved

Problem 3) The 2U case requires special mounting brackets for a Dual Xeon motherboard... back to ServerCase.com to order the correct parts.

Hooray... uh oh?
Finally at this point everything looks good! The server is built (running very cool - Intel delivered on their low-power promise!), harddrives are installed, RAID card works, RAM is recognized, and life is good in server land.... right? Well, the last step is to go into the bios and change the "After Power Failure" setting to "Turn On"... this will allow us to reboot the server using our APC remote control strips. We go into the BIOS, change the setting, save the settings & restart.

We then pull out the power and plug it back in but the "After Power Failure" setting doesn't work! That is an essential feature for a remote controlled server. Panicking, we rush to Tyan's website to check for BIOS updates. Phew! There have already been 2 updates for this BIOS so surely they must have fixed the issue. We flash the BIOS to the latest 1.3 version and test it and it still doesn't work.
note about the motherboard flashing: Tyan says that it is required to boot into MSDOS with no HIMEM loaded but give no details on how to do this. It took us an hour or two of consulting people and websites to finally figure it out... thanks for the great instructions Tyan]

So the next step is to call Tyan's technical support (emailing their support was a maze of getting the proper subject and that was just plain old confusing).... to their credit they picked up right away and were very helpful. They setup the motherboard in their labs and tested it out and verified that the feature worked for them. Hmm... their official response is that the power supply that we're using is not supported. We pay $35 to do an RMA (over night, thankfully) in hopes that we somehow have a defective motherboard. The new motherboard arrives the next day from California and the problem still persists.

Now, I would accept the "unsupported power supply" theory, except when we use the CLEAR CMOS jumper on the motherboard to clear the BIOS settings, the next time we plug the power in, the system turns on automatically. That's right. If you clear the BIOS settings via the Jumper on the motherboard and plug the power back in, it will automatically turn on - but after that, even if you change the setting in the BIOS to "Turn On", it will not turn on!. That tells us that the motherboard & power supply together are in-fact physically capable of turning on after the power is plugged back in, it is simply a bug somewhere (either in hardware or software) that won't let it happen with our 'unsupported power supply'. Hopefully someone from Tyan will read this and look into this further.
FYI: The power supply that we're using is an I-Star TC-2U40 (400W Quiet 20/24+8+4pin power supply)]

update - 9/30/2006 - Tyan issued bios version 1.04, we had hoped that this would address the problem, but it did not.

Follow-Up & Results
Aside from the lack of ability to turn on after a power failure, the server is running very well - temperatures are low, performance is high & there has been no weird behavior or freezing. we fully tested the CPU & RAM before-hand to ensure that there were no problems with these parts]

Although the web hosting business is a global game for one and all - one thing we can not get over is no matter who you are or what you do, there is always going to be somewhat of a lag when crossing the ocean. If you are wanting to deliver your services to a group of people in one region then it would make sense to have services there to cut out this issue all together.

Today`s suggestion:


dreamhost.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dreamhost "offers" Miva shopping cart hosting, but they only have one person
trained in Miva support, so if your store has a problem when that person is gone
- good luck!



My store has been down for almost 3 weeks, and I am in the process of
transferring to a new host. dreamhost customer service has been extremely slow,
frequently choosing to file my service requests into one person or another's
folder, rather than tell me anything. When I have heard back, I have been given
varying promises of attention and a fix, but nothing has happened, and no one
has bothered to tell me why.



Key to the whole problem is the apparent fact that dreamhost has not a clue of
what e-commerce is all about. While other hosts might be in a full-blown panic
if their e-commerce sites were down for a couple of hours, dreamhost is quite
content to allow the situation to go on indefinitely. Very unprofessional in
their approach.



I know of several other dreamhost Miva sites that are transferring, or have
transfered, to new hosts. So, most likely in the near future they will be
hosting very few Miva sites, and their competence in the area can be expected to
fall even further.

Dreamhost Drops Procmail Support

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0000
Web hosting provider Dreamhost recently announced in its March company newsletter that it will stop providing mail-filtering tool Procmail to its users, leaving a few customers upset with the hosting provider's decision to cut one of its services after offering it for years.

Parallels Virtuozzo Containers includes the Parallels Infrastructure Manager, a robust set of management tools that helps Liquid Web personnel deliver its ”Heroic Support,” which has become a trademark of their services. Using the Parallels Infrastructure Manager and Parallels Plesk control panel software, Liquid Web can offer their customers a control panel for adding software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications as well as the ability to scale the size of their VPS.

If you find yourself in these shoes, what you need to do is paint a better picture of the problems when they are happening so they will have more information to work from when it comes to troubleshooting your mysterious issue. It really comes down to the fact that you need to help support so that they can help you.

BlueHost News

1 Mar 2008 - Here we go again BlueHost.com has again increased their bandwidth
to 15,000 GB per month and increased their disk space to 1,500 GB. This is more
than double what they were offering just 4 months ago. However this certainly
shows that BlueHost is dedicated to giving their customers ample resources.



8 Dec 2007 - Well BlueHost has done it again. They have just doubled their
diskspace and bandwidth. This means you now get a huge 600GB of diskspace of
bandwidth and 6000GB of transfer. This should be enough to satisy even the most
bandwidth and diskspace hungry site. With these offerings and BlueHost's
unmatched reliability, BlueHost is undoubtedly the best value for money host out
there at the moment. I have had this site hosted on BlueHost for over 3 years
now and it's been an exceelent experience. I highly recommend BlueHost.com



1st Jan 2007 - BlueHost has just increased their plan offerings from 50GB
diskspace to 300GB diskspace and bandwidth has increased from 999GB to 3000GB.
For $6.95/month the plan that is being offered by BlueHost is undoubtedly the
best around. A great plan along with unbeatable support and custom service makes
BlueHost the top choice for web hosting. Just 2 years ago when I first wrote
this BlueHost review they were offering only 1GB of hosting space and 50Gb of
bandwidth. It is a clear sign that BlueHost is moving with the times.



My Experience With BlueHost

This site has been hosted with BlueHost for about 3 years (since July 2004) and
I have been nothing but impressed by BlueHost's superior support and
reliability. Their Phone and email support staff are extremely knowledgeable and
friendly. BlueHost offers A-Grade service and features for a very low price. If
you are looking for a cheap, reliable and feature packed host I highly recommend
BlueHost.com . I have hosted with many hosts including webcentral, globat and
ipowerweb, but nothing compares with BlueHost.



About BlueHost.com

Way back in 1996 the web hosting industry saw the introduction of yet another
webhost in BlueHost.com, another addition to an already growing list of service
providers. Many other service providers have come and disappeared since then,
but with their reliable service coupled with friendly and patient support staff
(rated as best support staff of 2005) BlueHost sits comfortably among the best
in the hosting business today.



Hosting Plans from BlueHost

BlueHost offers a great low-cost, high quality plan for only $6.95 a month, the
plan includes free registration of one domain name, 1,500 GB of hosting space,
and a huge 15,000 GB of bandwidth hosted on high performance Xeon servers which
are currently the best in the industry. One of the greatest advantages of
BlueHost is that you can host unlimited domains on one account this is a huge
saving if you have more than 1 site or excellent if you plan on making more.
With this plan you also get many added features like 2500 POP3 web based emails,
5 addon domains, FTP, PHP, CGI, cPanel and a lot more features that provide you
with the highest level of value for your money. Do a little search and
comparison and you�ll find that only BlueHost offers so much for such a low
price.



Reliability

BlueHost provides powerful and reliable web hosting services. As a customer of
BlueHost.com you can be assured of: Customer service satisfaction, best quality
equipment, a guaranteed uptime, highly functional administrative tools, the best
feature set available, secure and reliable routine backups, a 24/7 System
Administration staff, real time support the best support staff around and a
solid and honest business. They always have redundant parts on hand in the event
that there is a hardware failure of some type. The staff at BlueHost is highly
skilled and specialised in designated work areas and they can work to solve any
problem if it arises quickly and effectively. The BlueHost review has been
conducted as we find BlueHost to be very reliable and very good for sites that
always need to be available.



Support

For the package that they offer and the mass amount of clientele they have,
customer support at the highest level is a must. BlueHost delivers at that level
by providing quick and responsive support. A complete searchable database of
FAQ's, knowledge base and flash tutorials are all provided at their website just
to get you and your site going in the right direction. In addition, you can also
seek further technical, sales and billing assistance by telephone support on
their toll free number. With these many options, there's no issue that can't be
solved within a short time by BlueHost�s highly attentive support staff.



Awards

The outstanding services of BlueHost have been recognised by the industry
through awards year after year. These include top host awards from major hosting
directories and review sites such as Web Hosting Jungle and Web Hosting Doctor .



Conclusion

This is one of the few older generation hosting companies that have survived the
fall. Today BlueHost stands differentiated as one of the most reliable and value
for money hosting solutions. Thousands of satisfied business and personal
website owners will approve for that any day. Their hosting package is designed
such that not only businesses but individuals also get high-powered service at a

Overview



The site that you are looking at now has been hosted by LunarPages since the
first day for more than 5 years! Currently, I also have another two websites
hosted by LunarPages currently. I used to have eight accounts with them! Thanks
to the multiple domain hosting feature, I can now host more websites using less
accounts.



The discussion below is based on my experience with LunarPages as one of their
longest customer. You cannot get more insider information about LunarPages
elsewhere :-)



LunarPages is currently serving over 150,000 customers in over 200 countries. It
was founded in the summer of 2000 when a successful large scale hosting
provider, Add2Net Corporation, expanded its hosting offerings to include shared
hosting.



They are offering two Unix shared hosting plans - Basic Hosting ($7.95) and
Business Hosting ($22.95). The $22.95 plan is a larger plan with unlimited disk
space and 15,000 GB of bandwidth. They also offer other types of hosting
including Windows hosting, VPS hosting, dedicated and semi-dedicated servers but
in this review, I'm just going to write about the $7.95 Basic Hosting Plan,
which I believe is sufficient for 99% of you.



Plan Size and Features



1,500 GB of disk space and 15,000 GB of bandwidth are a lot. Click on the small
picture to view the original wallpaper of Saguaro National Park, Arizona. The
size of the large and high quality picture is 228 KB (kilobyte). With 1,500 GB
of disk space, you can store more than 6.5 million copies of this picture! And
with 15,000 GB/month bandwidth, this picture can be viewed more than 65,700,000
times a month (That's 65.7 million)! The most suitable words to describe 1,500
GB of disk space and 15,000 GB of bandwidth are "More Than Enough!". :-)



There are many web hosts that offer large disk space and bandwidth, but keep in
mind that these web hosts might have funny restrictions such as file size limit,
daily bandwidth limit, or even binary files bandwidth limit (pictures, MP3s,
Flash ...). LunarPages does not have such restrictions with your disk space and
bandwidth usage. You can upload a single 1,500 GB file if you want and you can
finish your 15,000 GB bandwidth in 1 day. As LunarPages founder and CEO, Ron
Riddle told me, "We actually allow people to use everything and we have no
problem offering them what we are currently offering."



Customer Support



It is not the large disk space or bandwidth that make me rank LunarPages as #1
high but its superior customer support! They spend a great deal of money hiring
a lot of support staff to take care of their customers. All of them are very
friendly and knowledgeable. With their effort on customer support, you can
expect the best attention from them.



1. Email support - Simply email support@Lunarpages.com and you will always get a
good reply, no matter if you are a current customer or you just need to ask some
presale questions. Good replies are replies with the exact answer you need. I
suggest that you send them an email right now to see how effective they are. All
email will automatically be tracked by the same ticket system used by the
support help desk. This is my favorite method to request support, because it is
fast, convenient and effective. Email support is available twenty-four hours a
day, seven days a week.



2. Support Help Desk - You will send your inquiry through the use of an online
form. All your inquires will be tracked and recorded using their ticket system.
They even keep a history of all your issues so you can refer back to them
anytime you want. There is also a knowledgebase of frequently asked questions in
the help desk so you can find your answers without creating a support ticket.



They used to be using a third party support help desk system known as DeskPro.
But because they are so rich customer oriented, they decided to dump DeskPro and
develope their own help desk system and call it LunarDesk!



3. Toll-Free Support - Just call 1-877-LunarPAGES if you need phone support for
USA and Canada. For the United Kingdom, call 0800-072-9150 instead. If you live
outside of these countries, you cannot dial the toll free number. They provide
another support line for their international customers: 1-714-521-8150. I have
called them several times and they have no problem talking to me with my slang.



4. Lunar Forums (LunarForums.com)- LunarPages provides forums to let their
customers communicate and help each other. You can find many answers for your
questions. You will also meet many happy customers there. Remember only hosts
that are confident with their services and have many customers dare to set up an
open forum. Currently, the forum has around 35,670 registered users. And
LunarForums is also one of the oldest webmaster forums out there.



I will surely rate their customer support as 10 over 10, or 11 over 10 if I can
:-) Their customer satisfaction speaks for itself. I always stress to my
visitors who write to me that if they are web hosting newbie who need a lot of
attentions and supports, they should always pick LunarPages. This will make sure
that they are fully taken care of in their "early age".



If you have read my reviews or other web hosts, you will notice that I will
state that if you have any unresolved issues with the host, you can always
forward them to me and I will take them directly to the officers. Even though I
have direct contact with many important officers of LunarPages (even the CEO), I
never mention it in my LunarPages review. I don't need to do so because all
LunarPages clients are able to resolve the issue directly with the dedicated
support staffs without going through a third party like me.



Sometime ago, I have submitted a possible SPAM issue to them. To my surprise,
not only that they reply to my email but they have also called me and left me a
voice message! You can click on the 'Play' button below to listen to the voice
message yourself. They did look into SPAM issues seriously to make sure the mail
server is not blocked. They are constantly making sure that all their customers
emails will be sent and received properly.
